Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors Program
The Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors Program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles provides one of the most well-rounded cancer treatment programs for kids, caring for more children with bone and soft tissue tumors than any other pediatric hospital west of the Mississippi River.
Orthopaedic surgeons from Children's Orthopaedic Center team with oncologists and other specialists in Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases to treat bone and soft tissue cancers, such as sarcomas, focusing on early diagnosis, quality of life and long-term follow-up.
They treat both benign and malignant tumors, with the goal of using minimally invasive techniques, when possible, that facilitate a prompt return to physical activities. Comprehensive treatment for patients with cancerous tumors includes chemotherapy and surgery, as well as support from social workers, therapists and Child Life specialists.
- Procedures and Care
- What Is a Benign Tumor?
- What Is a Malignant Tumor?
- Limb Salvage Procedures
- Our Team
- Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Research
Our specialists use leading-edge technology for tumor reconstruction and perform the largest number of procedures, including:
- Complex bone grafting such as vascularized grafts and allografting
- Limb-salvage procedures
- Joint-preserving procedures
- Joint replacement
- Minimally invasive procedures
- Musculo-cutaneous flaps
- Rotationplasty
- Spine tumors resection and stabilization
The Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Program is nationally recognized for advancing treatments for children with tumors such as:
- Bone cysts
- Benign bone tumors such as osteoblastoma, osteoid osteoma, chondropblastoma and others
- Benign soft tissue tumors and vascular anomalies
- Ewing's sarcoma
- Malignant soft tissue tumors such as rhabdomyosarcoma
- Multiple hereditary exostosis and osteochondromas
- Osteosarcoma
Benign bone tumors are non-cancerous tumors that are often diagnosed following a minor trauma, fracture or history of pain. Upon discovery of a bone abnormality, the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors team will perform an evaluation, determine if the tumor is malignant or benign and decide the type of medical or surgical treatment best suited for that particular lesion.
Treatment options vary depending upon the size, type and location of benign bone tumors, but generally, surgery effectively treats these tumors.
State-of-the-art equipment allows physicians to treat several benign bone tumors with minimally invasive techniques, such as CT-guided procedures and radiofrequency ablation, which allow children to return to physical activities more quickly.
Malignant bone and soft tissue sarcomas, cancerous tumors, are relatively rare, but disproportionately affect children, adolescents and young adults. Tremendous strides have been made in improving the survival of children and adolescents with sarcoma. Continued efforts are aimed to also improve their quality of life during their very productive years.
Orthopaedic surgeons with the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors program care for children with bone cancer before and after the diagnosis is made. Because the location of the tumor biopsy often affects the ability to optimally treat a cancerous limb, referring physicians are urged to consult with orthopaedic surgeons at Children's Hospital Los Angeles before conducting an independent work-up and biopsy.
Bone and soft tissue tumor treatment includes chemotherapy and surgery, as well as extensive family and child support from the care team. The primary surgical goals in treating malignant tumors are to remove the tumor and, if possible, save the normal parts of the limb. Over 90 percent of patients are able to receive limb-sparing procedures. Orthopaedic surgeons use the latest limb-sparing techniques, excising the tumor and replacing the affected bone with other bone or an artificial joint replacement. Following surgery, patients undergo an extensive inpatient rehabilitation program to regain use of the affected limb.
In soft tissue tumors, the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors program has spearheaded limb-sparing procedures, combining high-dose chemotherapy to reduce tumor size and advanced surgical techniques.
In the past, bone cancers of the extremities were treated by amputation. Over the last three decades, the Children's Orthopaedic Center and Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases have collaborated to develop and refine techniques for limb salvage and reconstruction. Together, with advanced chemotherapy, these can save the affected limb in a vast majority of cases. Following removal of the tumor, "growing prosthesis" may be implanted to allow normal skeletal growth. As a child grows and ages, the doctors then lengthen the prosthesis over time.
The Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors program provides a comprehensive team of uniquely trained physicians, equipped with several years of experience, in the treatment of complex and rare tumors.
- Orthopaedic oncologists
- Pediatric oncologists
- Pediatric surgeons
- Plastic surgeons
- Microsurgeons
- Interventional radiologists
- Radiation oncologists
Parents and children receive the time and attention they deserve through personalized care. It is important to make sure they understand the condition, treatment and prognosis, and our staff encourages families to participate in additional support groups. The team is also composed of social workers, Child Life specialists, and oncology-trained nurses.
One of the unique characteristics of the Bone and Soft Tissue Program is the multidisciplinary integration at not only a clinical but also a research level, including clinical and translational research as well as basic science. We have several current research initiatives aimed at the better understanding and management of childhood benign and malignant tumors.
Oncologists at Children's Hospital Los Angeles are also developing novel drug therapies to both increase the survival rates for patients with bone and soft tissue tumors, as well as minimize side effects.
Specific areas of interest include:
- Effects of minimally invasive treatment of benign bone tumors
- Reconstruction following tumor resection (limb-salvage procedures)
- Management of long-term issues related to cancer treatment (including quality of life)

Randall Smith
Inducted in 2014
Founder of Mesa, his Mark I amplifier – dubbed the "Boogie" by Carlos Santana – was the first guitar amp with a "cascading" gain stage. It introduced high-gain tone without deafening sound-pressure levels and rose to prominence after being used by Santana on Abraxas. Find all the details in the 2014 VG Readers' Choice Awards.
Ernie Ball
Inducted in 2013
In the "realm" of the guitar, his name is well-known. But the "why" behind that reality is much less-known.
Born Roland Sherwood Ball, he grew up in Southern California and learned to play Hawaiian-steel guitar when he was just nine years old. As a young adult, he toured with the Tommy Duncan band and in the '50s enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, where he played with the USAF Band. Afterward, he returned to SoCal and resumed playing guitar in local clubs and lounges. His profile increased, however, when he scored a gig on "Western Varieties," a weekly show on Los Angeles' KTLA-TV, and from there better opportunities arose, including studio work and teaching. Find all the details in the VG Hall Of Fame's Class of 2013.
Mike Matthews
Inducted in 2012
A true child of the '60s, he jammed with Jimi James and sold $10 fuzz pedals before founding Electro-Harmonix. The iconic guitar-effects company nearly died twice, but thanks to Matthews' foresight and savvy, it has flourished since being re-launched in the mid '90s. Read more on Mike Mathews or find all the details on the VG Hall Of Fame's Class of 2012.
Seymour Duncan
Inducted in 2011
The man who has done more than anyone to make the world aware how critical the pickup is to guitar tone, he has an incredibly deep appreciation for music, and started working with pickups simply to keep his own guitar in working order. After a stint playing music in Londonw and working in repair and research at Fender Soundhouse, he moved to California and established contact with music-industry luminaries including Leo Fender and Seth Lover. In 1978, together with his then-wife, Cathy, he started Seymour Duncan Pickups. Find all the details in the VG Hall Of Fame's Class of 2011.
Paul Reed Smith
Inducted in 2010
After building guitars one at a time for years, in 1985 he launched a company that today is emblematic of an innovative large-scale American builder. His passion as strong as ever, he remains very much part of the day-to-day process in all of his shops – electric, acoustic, and amps. Find all the details in the VG Hall Of Fame's Class of 2010.
George Fullerton
Inducted in 2009
Hired by Leo Fender in early 1948, he started in amplifier repair then helped his boss design the guitar that would become the Telecaster. Later, they teamed up on the Precision bass and the Strat. When the time came for both to move on, post-CBS, he put the G in G&L. George Fullerton Feature.
Floyd Rose
Inducted in 2008
In 1977 he introduced the locking-design vibrato and with the help of Eddie Van Halen, the device played a major role in how the solidbody electric guitar would be built and played for the next 15 years. More recently he introduced the Speedloader bridge design. Floyd Rose Feature.
Dick Denney
Inducted in 2007
A trained electronics engineer, in 1955 he built a 15-watt amplifier and tried to sell it to Tom Jennings, who sold organs and Univox accordions with amps. Instead of placing an order to buy more amps, Jennings hired him. They adapted the name to Vox and as Chief Engineer from 1957 to '67 he was responsible for the legendary AC15, which begat the AC10 and AC30.
John D'Angelico
Inducted in 2006
His New Yorker and Excel models were at once influenced by the Big Apple's Art Deco aesthetic and hugely influential to every archtop builder of the 20th century. Instruments of exceedingly high quality, today his designs are considered the pinnacle of the form (especially for playing chord melodies) despite having been developed in the 1930s!
John and Rudy Dopyera
Inducted in 2005
Violin and cabinet makers who, in the early 1920s, started manufacturing banjos, they were one day approached by vaudeville guitarist George Beauchamp, whose acoustic guitar couldn't be heard over the orchestra. Thus was born the National/Dobro concept of placing aluminum resonators in a guitar body – and the guitar was reinvented.
Hartley Peavey
Inducted in 2004
His innovations proved it was possible to produce good-quality, inexpensive, guitars and amps in the U.S. They made the company bearing his name one of the largest instrument builders in the world.
Lloyd Loar
Inducted in 2003
An acoustic engineer for Gibson from 1919 to 1924, he conducted visionary experiments with electric instruments as soon as amplification was invented. He also developed Gibson's Style 5 Master Model instruments; the F-5 is considered the ultimate mandolin design, the L-5 led the way for large-bodied archtops. His signature on an instrument's label puts its value amongst the elite.
Paul Bigsby
Inducted in 2002
Best known for his line of vibrato tailpieces, arguably his most important innovation was a thin-bodied, cutaway, solidbody electric guitar he built for Merle Travis, ca. 1947. It had many of the features that later became standard on more prominent guitars.
Adolf Rickenbacker
Inducted in 1999
In the 1920s he was machining parts for National's new resonator guitars, which led to being approached by George Beauchamp with the idea to build the first electric. Their company, Ro-Pat-In, began building the Frying Pan lapsteel – the first truly successful electric guitar – in 1932, and received a patent for their "horseshoe" pickup in '37.
Jim Marshall
Inducted in 1998
A lack of good public address and bass guitar amplification equipment in Britain prompted him to start building. Upon hearing the equipment, guitarists began approaching him to build an amp that could "dirty up" their tone, and the rest is history. All this from a drummer!
Seth Lover
Inducted in 1997
In 1957, he set about to make a pickup that wouldn't produce the electromagnetic hum so pronounced in single-coils of the day. What he got was a pickup that produced higher volume. Ten years later, distortion was the rage in rock and roll, and humbuckers were the pickup of choice.
C.F. Martin, Sr.
Inducted in 1996
A German emigrant and one of America's first guitar builders. His company is now more than 160 years old, still family-owned and operated, and produces some of the world's most renowned instruments.
Ted McCarty
Inducted in 1995
President of Gibson for 16 years, he had a hand in many of Gibson's most famous designs, including the ES-335, Flying V, Les Paul, Explorer, and Firebird.
Les Paul
Inducted in 1993
He is credited with many innovations, including tape delay, overdubbing, "sound on sound" and multi-track recording. Plus you probably have a guitar or two that bear his name on the headstock.
Orville Gibson
Inducted in 1992
He revolutionized mandolin-building in the late 1800s and applied the concepts to guitars, as well. Oh, and some of the greatest guitars ever made bear his name.
Leo Fender
Inducted in 1991
He gave us the Tele and the Strat, and the Precision Bass, but many point to his amps as his crowning technological achievement.

The board of directors of Jaiprakash Power Ventures, a part of the Jaypee Group, on Saturday approved sale of two of its hydro power projects in Himachal Pradesh to a consortium led by Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PSJC (TAQA) for about Rs 11,000 crore. The company is likely to make an official announcement to this effect on Monday.
The board has approved the deal and details would be announced on Monday when the minister from Abu Dhabi will come down to Mumbai to sign on the deal with Jaypee Group, said a source close to the development.
Jaiprakash Power would sell its two hydro power assets 300 MW Baspa-II and 1,000 MW Karcham Wangtoo projects helping it to cut down its debt of Rs 19,000 crore by R6,000 crore. Saturdays board meeting was held to consider the recommendations of the audit committee aiming at reduction of debt and unlocking the shareholders value.

State board suspends Fairview Twp. physician
The state Board of Osteopathic Medicine has suspended Dr. Mark Anthony Gonsky's license, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State.
Gonsky, who is awaiting trial on charges of threatening a police officer and firing a gun in his Glen Summit neighborhood, was most recently arrested Monday and charged with driving under the influence.
His medical license was temporarily suspended pending a hearing because "his continued practice within the Commonwealth may be an immediate and clear danger to the public health and safety," the statement said.
Gonsky, 60, a Fairview Township physician, was ordered earlier in the week to wear an alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet as part of his bail conditions in the earlier case, but he was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility on Thursday after the DUI charges were filed.
Records show he has since posted $20,000 bail.

Is there a suitable dual suspension bike for a Clyde like myself that weighs in over 350 lbs?
I would want to turn it into a daily commuter with smooth tires, and possibly move all of my ebike equipment over to it.
So as you can see, my needs are not that demanding. i am just wondering if its possible to get more of floating ride to my daily commuter.
Weight wouldn't an issue, because I'm already very heavy, and the ebike equipment has a way of making the pedalling easier.
Can anyone speak from experience on this one?

Christina Milian
Lil Wayne and Christina Milian Spotted at Dinner After Dating Rumors at ESPY Awards (PHOTOS)
Rumors have been flooding our air waves about Lil Wayne and fellow singer Christina Milian dating, ever since they were spotted holding hands at the 2014 ESPY Awards earlier in the month. While the famous duo shot down the rumors right away, we couldn't help but notice that they stepped out for dinner together in Beverly Hills, California on July 28. We're intrigued.
While this may not be a new couple alert, let's remember that these two are pretty connected. Christina has a daughter with The Dream, Weezy has a son with R&B singer Nivea, and Nivea has a daughter and twin sons with The Dream. Talk about a love triangle!
Putting all of that weirdness aside, Christina and Young Money do look pretty cute together. There was even some PDA action going on while they left dinner at Mastros Steakhouse restaurant. In his casual, all black outfit, Lil Wayne had his hand on the small of our girl Christina's back — could this mean something or is it just a friendly gesture? Hmm…
Click through for more photos of Lil Wayne and Christina Milian. Do you think they make a cute couple? Sound off in the comments below!

When I grew up I thought the only Batman was Adam West.... Until I saw Michael Keaton put the cape on in 1989.I was able to get the exclusive version and glad I did. Easy to put together but is a delicate piece. Expensive, but worth the money.
— Michael B.
Nashville, TN.
This is a great looking statue of Keaton as Batman. I can't stop staring at this incredible piece. All I need now is the print to go with it. You don't have the exclusive grappling gun, it's no biggie cause you don't need it.
— A. Negrin
finally decided to get this statue and what can I say... I'm at awe with just how magnificent it looks... one of the best representation of the '89 Batman...

— Uncle Bingo
I was hesitant to purchase because of the price but with my wife's permission, I went ahead and ordered. It was worth every penny! It truly is unbelievable! I enjoyed all the new Batman's (Dark Knight series) that recently came out but to me, Michael Keaton is BATMAN.

May 30, 2016
The bill to allow Mississippi universities and community colleges to teach gaming-related courses initially failed on a 70 to 47 vote Thursday morning, falling one vote short of the 71 needed for a three-fifths majority.
Late Thursday afternoon, the bill was changed slightly and passed 72 to 45. It now moves to the Senate, where it's expected to have trouble surviving.
Supporters of the proposal say most Mississippians who want high-paying jobs as casino managers or gambling-machine technicians have to go to Nevada or New Jersey for specialized training.
New Orleans-based Tulane University has started offering courses on the Mississippi Gulf Coast on all aspects of casino management, from accounting to marketing.

I am having a terrible experience trying to get my hands on the book East and West for my religion class, especially in regard to a certain website. I mean, wow. I first ordered it about three weeks ago, just in time, or so I thought, for my paper over it to arrive. I soon realized that since it was an international seller, the book wouldn't ship soon enough to allow me ample time to read it. So I canceled the order. Next day, Professor Cook told me I can switch the East and West assignment with the next assignment. Crisis averted, since I already had the other book.
But I still needed East and West. Normally, I would've purchased it from the bookstore. But, they've been out since the first day of class. Next, I would look to Amazon. Out of stock. So, I had to resort to the least reliable source…websites other than Amazon. I ended up at a professional-looking website, Tower.com. It's polished. It resembles a typical large online store. I found and purchased East and West, with 2-day shipping.
That was October 7th.
I first started to get suspicious when I didn't get a confirmation email; nor was I able to login to my account to view my order. See, I didn't want to cram this book, so I wanted to make sure it would arrive soon. But the website server wouldn't let me login. So I typed in "Tower.com" in the Google search bar. Maybe you've typed a phrase in, like "Why do," to see what the most common searches are beginning with that phrase. The fifth phrase that starts with "Tower.com?" "Scam." Then "phone number," then "complaints" later on the list.
You can see for yourself what people are saying about the website. Tower.com takes days to process.It lists no phone number on the website. Shipping times are measured in weeks. Refunds and cancellations are delayed. Confirmation emails arrive slowly. Yet credit cards are charged immediately. (I paid with debit) Is Tower.com a scam by definition? I don't think so. It just has horrible customer service.
The spawn of Satan himself.
When I finally managed to login to my account at Tower.com, I saw that my item was not only in stock, but still pending! It's been almost three weeks since my debit card was charged, yet the order is pending. Terrible customer service.
Once I realized the absolute disaster of ordering from Tower.com, I started looking for another seller, preferably one that ships fast. I found an Amazon seller from Delaware. Shipping time: 5-8 days. Alright, cool, I thought. I ordered it October 12th. The delivery date is now listed as between October 20th-November 3rd. My paper is due November 4th.
What all this means is, if I don't get East and West in the mail by the end of this week, I'm going to have to shell out another $50 at the college bookstore, which, oddly enough, just got shipments of it. I could cancel my Tower.com order, but judging from the comments of others, I would never get that $60 back. If neither shipment arrives this week, I'm going to have to shell out a total of $170 for a book to write a paper on that's going to suck because I didn't have time to read the material.
Lesson learned? Order textbooks as soon as possible. And avoid Tower.com like the plague.

Bitchin Kitchen's Blue-Cheese Burgers & Roasted Garlic Aioli with Canadian Living's Caramelized Onions
As my kitchen dries over the next few days and I put my foodie life back together, I cast my mind back to last week's adventures with food for your reading pleasure.
As you all know I am putting the Bitchin' Kitchen Cookbook through my test kitchen this month and wanted to take on a main dish and who doesn't love burgers?! Add some garlic aioli and caramelized onions and you have a winner recipe.
To make the truffle aioli you need... truffle oil, of course. I looked all over my grocery store for it and it was nowhere to be found. So, I made roasted garlic aioli instead.
Nadia G. instructs us to make this in a food processor but mine was in the dishwasher. I have made aioli by hand before so this is what I did. Please note I divided the recipe in half. No matter how fabulous, I should only eat so much aioli within a few days!
In a bowl add two cloves of degermed garlic chopped fine, a few cloves of mashed roasted garlic, one egg yolk, a pinch of sea salt and half a tsp of Dijon mustard. Whisk together and then slowly drizzle in half a cup of olive oil. I used a light tasting olive oil since extra virgin is usually too strong for me. Add half a tbsp of fresh lemon juice and a bit of water.
What a stunning aioli! Using Dijon and an egg yolk will help give newbies confidence to make this with their double emulsification superpowers. Makes a beautiful rich aioli that you can use on sandwiches, dip French fries in... Yum!
Now I totally missed the note that she had a recipe for making caramelized onions on page 25. It was at the end of the grocery list and I just missed it. As a result, I turned to another cookbook I am recipe testing, Best Recipes Ever from Canadian Living and CBC. Heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium-low heat and cook 1 onion thinly sliced with 1 tbsp of wine vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, 2 gloves garlic thinly sliced (I minced them), 1 tsp of dried thyme (I used 2 tsp of fresh) and salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until very soft, golden and caramelized.
These turned out perfectly! I often have trouble making caramelized onions, they tend to burn before they brown, but these were great!
My husband prefers Havarti to blue cheese so I added cheese to his and let the burgers finish cooking in the oven.
Finally, the burgers themselves! You were supposed to use organic chuck, "No excuses or exceptions." Well what if you can't get it? Like the truffle oil, this kind of ingredient is just not available to me. Which is very frustrating. You are supposed to eat these medium rare which is why she insists on the organic chuck. She also does not add spices to the meat so I took the liberty to add a few spices similar to this post here. I had to make my patties thinner than 1" thick because I had to avoid a medium rare burger.
Set the grill on high head, sprinkle patties with salt and pepper. Sear on each side for two minutes. Turn down grill and cook patties another three minutes per side. Take off heat and let rest for five minutes. I did most of that but I also put them in the oven at 325F to finish cooking.
I picked up some PC Blue Menu Thins - Whole Grain Round White Buns for this dish and wow, who eats a burger that big? They were way too large! The first time I ate this burger I ended up being mostly bun.
The next day I put it all together again with the aioli on the bottom, then I made a slider-size burger, topped it with caramelized onions and a little blue cheese. I used a tea biscuit cutter to make my slider buns that fit much better this time!
This was a lot of work but was it worth it? Absolutely freakin'-lutely! Damn, this was one of the best burgers I have ever had in my life. As Nadia G. says, "If this doesn't get you some action, you can always find a hobby to distract you from your crappy sexy life, like golf... or reproducing."
Always edgy, funny and fabulous, I am happy to say that despite some of the issues I had with making this burger, I have to give it five out of five wooden spoons for flavour. I can not imagine just how good this would be with truffle oil and organic beef... Dang!
I wish I lived in a place where I could buy all these fancy ingredients, because you know, I would! How happy am I that even with my cheap lean beef and non-truffle aioli this recipe was still a homerun.

Everything about this burger is so perfect and mouthwatering! Yeah for you and sticking to using the blue cheese, good to know I'm not alone in my love for the stinky stuff.
Does your Superstore carry the "Free From" meats either in the meat section or butcher counter? My Loblaw's carries an organic beef at the butcher counter from Beretta Ranch, but they also carry a President's Choice Free From ground beef which is amazing. If not, perhaps you can request it.

I don't care what kind of ground beef it is, you should never eat a medium rare burger. The danger is not lessened just because it's "organic chuck."
I love carmelized onions. They are heaven on a nice burger, aren't they?
- March 30, 2011 at 10:30 AM
- Suzie Ridler said...
Love blue cheese Ava, glad to know you like it too! I did not see anything like Free From at my store when it comes to beef. I have seen that when it comes to chicken. I will have to ask next time Ava, thank you!
Debra, I agree, when it is ground beef, it has to be completely cooked. I've been poisoned so many times (one of the reasons I learned how to cook, couldn't take it anymore) and will always over-cook before I under-cook anything. Health first and all!
The onions really took this burger over the top and that aioli? Good grief, it should be illegal!

Boy is that a great looking slider, Suzie. SUPER JOB !!
The medium rare burger thing is strictly from the U.S. of A. and I can't figure out with all the e-coli incidents they have had why they stick to it. I guess the memories are really short down there. Also, I'm not so enamored with "Organic" meats, the oversight on meat production lately has made the 'regular' meats so much more free of the medications and food additives that organics claim to be their own.
As for the truffle oil try a good sized deli for it or a more boutique style supermarket.

- Suzie Ridler said...
Thank you Wayne! I appreciate that so much.
It's funny, I believe Nadia G. is from Canada and I was surprised by the medium-rareness. I have to stick to my healthy foodie guns and cook everything through.
Well that is good to know that we can eat regular meat with less fear thanks to organic meat, isn't that interesting. Good point on the truffle oil! One day if I get to a place like that, I will look for the truffle oil.

Hi Suzie...do you live in the HRM? You can get truffle oil at Pete's (2 locations) and the Italian Market on Young street. Also organic ground beef is plentiful at either the old or new Halifax farmer's markets. I've never had trouble finding any ingredient I needed in Halifax.

what a nice recipe!!
- March 30, 2011 at 1:45 PM
- Suzie Ridler said...
Christina, I live way out in the outskirts the HRM and only have two box grocery stores to choose from. I am not allowed to drive so I don't get to Pete's very often but the next time I do, I'm picking up some truffle oil! I wish I lived downtown, that would make my life easier. Thanks Linda!

Hey! I have those PC Blue Menu Thins! I can make this! It looks so good...especially the caramelized onions...my favourite burger condiment.

Fantastic Cakebrain! And I agree, those onions take this right over the top. Yum! Enjoy!

FYI for people that find the PC thin buns featured in this post to be too big....PC also has slider thin buns! :-D

do you have a printable version of this recipe? I am very much looking forward to making it, thank you!
- April 4, 2011 at 9:45 PM
- Suzie Ridler said...
That's right Carrie-Lou, you could totally use the PC slider buns. I do wish their burger buns were smaller though! They're just too big.
Alex, no, I don't, sorry. And BK doesn't have it on their site either. Sorry about that!

Confident amp
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I think the basic specs say it all with this integrated amplifier: 150 of NAD's Full Disclosure Watts per channel with a THD of 0.009%. I like simplicity and I wanted an integrated amplifier that could deliver clean, confident power to my speakers and this amp does just that. I also didn't want to pay for any features that I wasn't going to use anyway. I wanted to listen to two-channel music, without all the bells and whistles of wireless music, fancy displays, and other things I consider gimmicks. I like that with this amp all my money went to build quality and good, clean sound. The amp feels solid, from all perspectives. Taking it out of the box it is immediately clear you're holding a well-built piece of equipment. The rear panel is laid out well. The controls on the front have a very satisfying touch to them. Much more importantly, the sound it delivers feels very solid too. I use this to power two Polk RTI-A9s, which people always say need plenty of power to sound good. Listening to several types of music I have never felt that the amp is lacking. Throughout the full frequency spectrum it easily and confidently delivers the music. I ordered this together with the Polk speakers, which were on backorder and therefore arrived a little later. Meanwhile I used it to power my old Yamaha bookshelf speakers. I couldn't believe how good they suddenly sounded with an amp that had full control over the drivers. I'm very pleased with his amp.
Pros: Plenty of power; 150 watts per channel continuous and up to 230 dynamic power. Very clean power with no distortion anywhere in the frequency range. Nice, understated looks. I should add, in all pictures it looks black, in reality it has a refined dark graphite look.
Cons: I had read some concerns about it running warm. I was surprised that with my 6 Ohm Yamaha speakers it ran warmer than with my 8 Ohm, power-hungry, Polk speakers. Overall though, NAD seems to have done a nice job with discharging that warmth. I have it inside a BDI cabinet that has ventilation openings and it never gets alarmingly warm, more like what you could expect from a piece of hard-working electronic equipment.

text: Home Culture Half of US Public Schools Fail Federal Standards It's the largest failure rate since the much criticized No Child Left Behind law took effect. By: Claudio E. Cabrera Posted: Dec. 15 2011 1:13 PM 0 A report released by the Center on Education Policy details how half of all U.S. public schools fail to meet federal standards. According to the report, more than 43,000 schools -- 48 percent -- did not make "adequate yearly progress." The percentage, which is the highest since the controversial No Child Left Behind law took effect, reflects a disparity in failure rates, from a low 11 percent in Wisconsin to a staggering 89 percent in Florida. U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan predicted earlier this year that the failure rate would be 82 percent. While the actual percentage came way below that, he says there is still a lot of work to do and blamed a Bush-era law for the numbers. "Whether it's 50 percent, 80 percent or 100 percent of schools being incorrectly labeled as failing, one thing is clear: No Child Left Behind is broken," Duncan said in a statement Wednesday. "That's why we're moving forward with giving states flexibility from the law in exchange for reforms that protect children and drive student success." The president of the Center on Education Policy Jack Jennings said it's time the law received a "rewrite." "No Child Left Behind is defective," Jennings told the Associated Press. "It needs to be changed. If Congress can't do it, then the administration is right to move ahead with waivers." Read more at the Washington Post. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

During the holidays I found an old map I made some years ago (at least 5, but I can't really remember) that I had made for a role-playing game. Since the game never got past the map-making step, I decided to put it to good use. I've been working on a different setting and I thought I could really make use of this map.
The original map was hand drawn and damn nearly complete. I had already named most of the towns and stuff, primary roads were on the map, and primary sailing routes were there too. I did the original coastline in Adobe Illustrator, then redid the coastline with the pentool in Photoshop. I used StarRaven's Calligraphic Map Symbols set for the whole thing (looks awesome) but I might change it for something else later.
I'd like to color it, but I'm not really good at making it look like an old map. Any good tutorials you can suggest I have a look at?
I would warn you that your rivers are splitting in the wrong direction. As rivers flow towards the sea they tend to come together into single flows - except in river deltas, which are exceptional occurences.
There is no pleasing some people
Only joking. I appreciate every and all comments, specially since I don't know much about rivers
So rather than split them up I should join them together as it gets closer to the sea? I'll have another look at this when I get the chance and hopefully I can avoid the attention of the River Police
House Baratheon
~Ours is the Fury~
My tutorials: Using GIMP to Create an Artistic Regional Map ~ All My Tutorials
My GIMP Scripts: Rotating Brush ~ Gradient from Image ~ Mosaic Tile Helper ~ Random Density Map ~ Subterranean Map Prettier ~ Tapered Stroke Path ~ Random Rotate Floating Layer ~ Batch Image to Pattern ~ Better Seamless Tiles ~ Tile Shuffle ~ Scale Pattern ~ Grid of Guides ~ Fractalize path ~ Label Points
My Maps: Finished Maps ~ Challenge Entries ~ My Portfolio: www.cartocopia.com
I... wasn't actually expecting someone who is actually referred to as the River Police. I thought this was something like a grammar nazi or something.
Anyway, I've done some improvements to the map (I hope). I simplified most of the rivers, but I want to keep them multiplied near Mistral since that is sorta a thing there.
I replaced most of the map with other brushes (still keeping to StarRaven's brushes since they are awesome). I forgot to fix the roads before saving so I will do that soon enough. I have two versions here: one with a background and one without. I don't know if I'll keep the background or do some coloring, or perhaps both. For now, this'll do.
Again, close-ups of Mistral for both versions.
P.S.: I intend to rename Shinton/Isanbul later on and hopefully find something that does not sound as awful. I don't know what it is, it just doesn't sound right.

I recommend Shinbul or Isanton ... or flip them again and go for Bulshin and Tonisan ... or ... anyway, the weirdest rivers are east of Mistral, where they just branch around like mad. Water doesn't really tend to do that .
Otherwise, it looks nice.
True and not, there are plenty of examples where they do branch around, although I admit that mine might be a bit of an extreme example. There are in fact several rivers here in Iceland that do behave like this, usually splitting up at one point and joining again at another. This might be due to some landscape feature that is no longer there, such as ice. Admittedly, I did wa-ay too much of this previously, but I don't think I need to fix any of the remaining rivers any further. But thanks for the input.
I like your suggestion of Shinbul and I think I will yoink that one if you don't mind
I was just about to say that possibly the terrain you have in Iceland, with massive run-off from ice sheets over relatively flat areas, results in forking rivers. Likewise I'm personally very familiar with terrain that is probably ridiculously mountainous to someone from, say, the eastern two thirds of the USA and don't think much of sticking buildings on 45° slopes .
Anyway - the way rivers behave on Earth doesn't matter at all, as long as you have a *reason* for it (it's a fictional world after all) ... although it's good to have a better reason than "MAGICK" (little stars and unicorns fly around singing).


text: Cleaning under pressure So your pool tiles are looking mossy, your driveway is stained and encrusted with dirt, and the car wheels look like you drove through the desert and back through a bog. Sure, a bucket and mop might be the cheap way of cleaning up, and bleach might be easily accessible, but could there be an easier (and less stinky) way? That's where high pressure water cleaners come in. Pressure cleaners, also known as pressure washers or water blasters, work by drawing water in and ejecting it under high pressure to clean a variety of surfaces. You can use them to spruce up asphalt and concrete, among other surfaces. The cost of pressure cleaners varies greatly, and you don't want to get a cheapie, but you needn't spend the big bucks either. Our test found the mid-range models fared best. Read on to find what to keep in mind when you go shopping. What to look for Nozzles The nozzles supplied can make a real difference to what you can clean. The three types available are: The rotary nozzle, which is best for heavily soiled areas such as footpaths and driveways. This makes a circle of pressurised water, often in an intermittent pulse that causes vibrations. The fan nozzle provides a wide spray of water and is suitable for large areas that are not too dirty, such as the painted walls of a house. These can often be adjusted to form a tight spray, but use caution with this setting – it can strip paint away if used too close to a painted wall. The pencil nozzle is a very tight beam of water, and is good for removing stubborn spots as the pressure is concentrated in a small area. Lance length The lance (the rigid bit you hold to direct the spray) should be long enough to comfortably hold the tip near the ground without stooping. Hose length A long hose from the cleaner body to the lance makes the unit easier to use. Hose and lance storage Onboard storage on the cleaner keeps it neat and tidy when not in use. Brush accessories These attach to the lance. Some of the useful ones are a patio brush for scrubbing a deck or paved area, and specific fixed or rotating brush heads for cleaning cars. Detergent applicator A built-in detergent applicator makes it much easier to use detergent when necessary. Wheels Wheels make it easier to manoeuvre the cleaner. Power cord length As pressure cleaners draw their power from a standard home power plug, the power cord length is quite important. Water usage High-pressure water cleaners use a fair amount of water – around 320–520L an hour. Noise High pressure water cleaners are quite loud – in our test we found them to be between 72 and 81dB. For comparison, a typical vacuum cleaner measures about 72dB, while traffic on a busy road measures about 80dB. Automatic cut off An automatic cut off means the trigger needs to be pulled to make the pressure cleaner work. It serves as both a safety feature and keeps the motor from working when it doesn't have to, saving you energy and wear and tear. Pressure cleaners and paint Be sure to follow the instructions carefully when using pressure cleaners on paintwork, whether on a house or vehicle, as they're all capable of removing paint rather than cleaning it. If you're using a cleaner specifically for this purpose, be aware they're only likely to remove flaking paint. Renting a high pressure water cleaner If you only need a pressure cleaner for a one-off job, it makes sense to rent the equipment and pay as little as $60 a day. But remember that cleaning ground-in dirt is not a quick job; our testers find it takes a few minutes to clean one square metre of heavily soiled concrete. Cost Between $70 and about $750

Sudan accuses US of interference over protests
Sudan on Wednesday accused the United States of interference by criticising a crackdown on the country's 12-day-old protest movement.
"Sudan rejects intervention in its internal affairs," foreign ministry spokesman Al-Obeid Meruh said in a statement.
"The USA is not qualified to advise on such an issue because it continues bombing civilians in different parts of the world and it cracked down on demonstrators on Wall Street."
He was responding to comments Tuesday by State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland who said that "arresting and mistreating protesters" will not solve Sudan's political and economic crises.
"There have been reports of protesters being beaten, imprisoned and severely mistreated while in government custody. We call for the immediate release of those detained for peaceful protest," she said.
Rights groups say scores of people have been arrested since the protests against inflation began on June 16 at the University of Khartoum.
After President Omar al-Bashir announced austerity measures including tax hikes and an end to cheap fuel, the protests spread to include a cross-section of the population in numerous locations throughout the capital and several other parts of Sudan.
Demonstrators in groups of 100 or 200 have burned tyres, thrown stones and blocked roads in a growing call for regime change, which has been met by police tear gas.
On Wednesday, students in the eastern town of Kassala took to the streets for a second day in a row, witnesses said.
About 100 young people, carrying pictures of an allegedly detained colleague, marched against high food prices until riot police confronted them with tear gas, they said.
"After 23 years of endurance, the Sudanese people have decided to say enough is enough," Sudan Change Now, an activist youth movement, said in a statement.
"These protests although initially triggered by the economic crisis in the country, are more than that; they are protests against a dictatorship, an oppressive, corrupt, incompetent government that has lied to us for two decades and must be stopped."
Britain also raised concern over developments in Sudan.
On Tuesday, Britain's minister for Africa, Henry Bellingham, called for "the immediate release of those detained while engaged in peaceful protest and for the security forces to act with restraint and avoid the use of force."
New York-based Human Rights Watch said Sudan should "end the crackdown on peaceful protesters, release people who have been detained, and allow journalists to report freely on the events".
The watchdog said more than 100 people are estimated to still be in detention.
Sudan has lost billions of dollars in oil receipts since South Sudan gained independence last July, taking with it about 75 percent of Sudanese crude production.
The north has been left struggling for revenue, plagued by inflation, and with a severe shortage of dollars to pay for imports.
In its statement, the foreign ministry blamed Sudan's economic troubles on American sanctions.
In 1997 the United States imposed a trade embargo on Sudan over human rights and other concerns.
Protests by tens of thousands in 1964 and 1985 helped bring about the downfall of the Sudanese regimes then in office.
Bashir, an army officer who seized power in June 1989, has called the latest protests small-scale and not comparable to the Arab Spring uprisings against regional strongmen over the past year.

400 miles to go (not that I am counting down at all!) Our duogen tow attachment has now been fixed three times by Mark and each time he fixes a piece, another piece goes. Not happy. So we have the wind generator going again. Less mileage today, but the winds have picked up to 30 knots again now.That didn't stop me from making some rather lovely crab cakes and mashed potato for dinner. Yum. When we were in Prickly Bay, we were given a whole bunch of food by those who were leaving their boats in Grenada for the summer and returning home. Hence the tinned crab. Very nice too. Also, Steve and Gissy, I don't know who made the homemade chutney you passed on to us, but please can we have some more; we've finished the last jar and it was delicious!! Mia and I watched the second Harry Potter movie. Lochy may get to see it tomorrow if his manners improve. Our fishing lure went so deep and we were going so fast that it broke the rod by pulling it in, so fish is now officially off the menu. Hmm, what else? Ooh, yeah, tomorrow is a really big day for the Jackson Four on tour and to find out why, you'll have to tune in tomorrow. Until then........current post: 08.54S 132.02W
22 July 2011
How long do you think a can can go beyond its best before date? A month? Two? Well, Whit just pointed out that the pineapple rings I suggested he opened (yes from Jersey!) had a BBD of May 2010 and to me - and I've got a nose for things not quite right - they taste fine. Incidently I hadn't opened the pineapple rings just because I had gammoned Whit in Backgammon but it seems like a good opportunity to keep you up to date with the scores on the doors! Mark cooked some excellent shortbread and Mia, Lochy and I blitzed their 'toy shelves' in the saloon - all in 35 knots of wind. We're so used to it now that I think we'd be disappointed if our speed dropped - 167 miles today. Last night bought us a mile from a very large tanker, but thanks to our AIS, we could see it from 60 miles away and we knew at what time it would pass us and at what distance, so we didn't need to go through the 'shall we call them' scenario, though it would have been a good time to test out my French "Le homard brun est sale, mais l'epouse jaune est plus sage que l'oncle mince" google translate THAT one! Current pos'n: 08.29S 129.36W
21 July 2011
Sorry about the moan yesterday. Much better today. Last night was probably the windiest we've had, but with two reefs in the main we were doing 7-8 knots most of the night and today we had an all time high of 150nms for our daily mileage. I don't know whether Pegasus could go any faster, but crossing the Pacific is not the time to see how fast you can push her before the mast goes ping! We have always erred on the side of caution so when people say 'but she's a catamaran, she must go faster' we just think we are happy with the speed we have - we're not really in any rush. The winds lessened from the 35-42 knots we had consistently through the night to a more comfortable 25-30 during the day and we didn't have any squalls, so all in all a better day, sailing-wise. We had a red-footed boobie land on our boat today - surely it has lost it's way, as I thought they were only found in the Galapagos 2000 miles back the way! With 690 mile left to go, it feels like the countdown has begun. Current position: 08.07S 127.22W
20 july 2011
That's not the kids asking; it's me. Today for me anyway has been one of those can-it-just- be-over-with kind of days. The wind was back down to a comfortable 20-25 most of the day but we've had squalls of 30 knots and the sea is quite lumpy and now it's back up there. It can't be that bad as Mia is not suffering, but maybe I just needed a duvet day or maybe it's the headache, but Whit and Mark have pretty much been holding the fort today. current pos: 08.10S 124.30W
19 July 2011
You'd think there weren't that many places to hide on a boat. And you'd be right. However, that didn't stop us from having fun for an hour or so, with more unusual hiding places being up Whit's t- shirt (Lochy) and in the sink (mum.) It's been another slightly tiring day of higher winds in the 30s and school wok has been put on the back burner, though Mia has now officially finished her maths curriculum for the year. The diaries that we started when we left Jersey are now almost full showing that we left Jersey nearly a year ago. I can't believe that we have maintained them daily for a whole year. Blood sweat and tears, but they're done! I forgot to mention we caught another fish yesterday - skipjack tuna. Well, I didn't forget, I just didn't know how to say it in French! We've been sailing for 2 weeks now. All the other boats we were in radio contact with have now made landfall, having left a week before us. We have a little over 1000 miles left to go. Oh, I forgot to mention, Mark fixed the duogen today. There is one piece that keeps breaking. We got it fixed in Panama but it broke again. Luckily he can bolt the offending bit together. We've actually been really pleased with the duogen generally, so we miss it when it's not working. I hope we can get a replacement bit on warranty. Curr post: 07.29S 122.16W

And she knows how to use them. In this series of pictures, Cameron is leaving her trailer on the set of "What Happens in Vegas" and I have to say, Cammie's gams look good in her short-shorts, per usual. The paparazzi obviously caught our girl in a buoyant mood because she's not trying to cut bitches with cameras. Although, to her credit, she's been awfully nice to photographers lately leading to me to believe that maybe a single Cammie is a happy Cammie. Whatever she's doing, she needs to keep on doing it, cause it's good for business.
Cameron Diaz Has Legs
August 16th, 2007 // 7 Comments
I see not only the legs but the nipples too!!
And those feet! She's got huge feet. HUGE, I say.
Has anyone else noticed how she is ALWAYS smiling when the paps are around? Quite that difference than when she was with j.
Yeah, her PR people were like STOP BEING SUCH A BITCH!! That shit was ok when you HAD a man, but now – BEHAVE lol
Clearly she's proof that "living well is the best revenge".
i would never get plastic surgery…
but that is b/c they don't have plastic surgery to get long, fabulous legs like cameron's. i hate you, you long-legged bitch. lol :)
She does have great legs. Funny that I used a similar title about Hilary today and I just saw this. What a coincidence eh?


text: Keith Gillespie in court in handcuffs 28 Feb 2014 Retired premiership footballer Keith Gillespie appeared in court in handcuffs on Friday after a judge ordered his arrest. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Throughout the short, two minute hearing at Newtownards Magistrates Court 39-year-old winger Gillespie remained handcuffed to a prison officer, speaking only to confirm his name.A police officer told the court that he arrested Gillespie this morning "by arrangement" on foot of a bench warrant issued on Thursday by District Judge Mark Hamill.The former winger for Leicester, Newcastle Utd, Manchester United - and still a hero on the Windsor Park terraces - had been due to appear charged with breaching a non-molestation order on 21 January this year by being "in the vicinity of the Hamilton Road".That charge was put to Gillespie on Friday.Solicitor Darren Duncan said Gillespie had failed to turn up to court as ordered because of an "oversight" on his part, believing that he was not due in court until next month."The first he became aware [that he was due in court] was when he was contacted by a media outlet," said Mr Duncan adding that Gillespie, who is from Ballycrochan Ave in Bangor, "immediately contacted our office" for the warrant to be executed.Releasing Gillespie on his own bail of £400, Judge Hamill said he would put the non-appearance down to "miscommunication" but warned the former footballer to "make sure there are no more misunderstandings".Declared legally bankrupt in 2010, Gillespie wrote in his autobiography "how not to be a football millionaire," that he had spent around £7m as part of a gambling addiction.In his playing career Gillespie earned 86 caps for Northern Ireland having made his debut in September 1994 in a 2-1 defeat against Portugal and finished his international career in 2008, playing a vital role in the famous 3-2 win against world and European champion Spain at Windsor Park in September 2006 when David Healy scored a hat trick.Signed by Man United as a youngster in 1991, Gillespie played for the Red Devils until he was sold to Newcastle in 1995 where he came close to winning the Premiership title under Kevin Keegan.Following his spell there, Gillespie turned out for Leicester City, Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield United and Bradford before making a shock move to east Belfast club Glentoran in 2009. © UTV Share Share Share

My Wife loves It
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
We could not walk out of the backcountry store with out this! My wife uses it more than her 32oz packs easier and is easier to hold.
Convenient and cute.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I initially bought this thinking it was going to be a little larger than it is, but it's perfect. I love that I can fit the bottle in my cup holder and it isn't a hassle to carry it around. The mouth of the bottle is still big enough to get some solid gulps in without having to suffer from the spills of a regular sized Nalgene. It's definitely worth purchasing simply for the convenience.
small but easily stowable
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
this nalgene is perfect for a purse or smaller bag. It is not the standard size nalgene, but great as an additional size when you dont have room for a larger water bottle.
perfect for kids
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
like others have said, this is the smaller bottle. The are perfect for my kids to take water to school in. I know these wont ever break or leak in the backpacks.
Perfect little bottle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It is the perfect little bottle for carrying electrolyte drinks. Probably too little to use as main source for water, but the right size for any other beverage. Super durable and easy to clean!
Perfect size for Whiskey!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Just as durable as the larger one, and perfect to tote whiskey or electrolyte drinks.
Great Little Bottle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This bottle is just the mini-me of the large 1L Nalgene bottles. It's just as tough, and just as easy to clean. Perfect size when you just need a little something to drink with you. I've even used it for warm drinks when camping...but it's not insulated and hot-hot drinks are probably be a bad idea, so tread carefully. Most often I use it camping for drink mixes like Spark or Gatorade, or for clipping to a gear loop so I have something to drink at my next belay station without bringing too much extra weight (see pic).
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is the perfect water bottle. It is kind of small so if you want a bigger one I'd go with the 32oz. Other than that no complaints here :)
Can't go wrong with a nalgene!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned a few nalgenes bottles for the last 10 years. They are great! We gave these as presents to our nieces and nephews for christmas. They are a great place to store your excess decals and stickers!
Doh, Wrong Size but Works Great
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Yea, it was a late night order so I could replace a headlamp that was left on a peak. I wanted a couple more Backcountry.com 32 oz. bottles, but didn't look at the size when ordering. Man I was a bit surprised when I opened the box to a miniature bottle. I actually thought they had sent me them by mistake or as a souvenir. After looking at the invoice and my online order I knew then that I did a Homer Simpson. As it is I've found a good use for them by putting my powder drink mix in them, so I'm actually happy with em. I love Craig Armstrong's use (review below) for his awesome climbing cat partner.
Stay Hydrated
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've found the tiny size is perfect for taking along a pet-specific water source. The cap makes a nice little bowl too.

Surprised by size
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I really liked this bottle. I did expect a larger size as I have the 16 oz narrow mouth and it's marked for 16, but probably holds closer to 20 oz. This one is marked for 14 and holds 16 to the neck, according to Nalgene's website. In any event, I don't have it anymore, because 1-2 months after buying it, I dropped it apparently right on the seam on the bottom and it cracked. I was shocked, as I've had the other bottle for years and only the loop part broke; the plastic is perfect. I used both at work, so lighter use. I did take the older one along in a backpacking trip, but didn't have this one long enough to do the same. I may try another of these since I prefer the wide mouth because of the ease of cleaning, and will update if I do try another.
Btw, I dropped only from the height of my hand to the floor of the elevator. It's not as though it was from an abnormal height. The plastic does seem thinner than the narrow-mouth I own.
Update: I did get another, and it's held up better. No issues in a few months of use.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
durable, light, strong, easy to pack, easy to clean, no weird plastic taste. love it.
Great Size
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It's tough and has a wide mouth just like your trusty 32oz Nalgene but this bad boy will fit the cupholders in your car, stow in your lunchbox, and works really well as a flask in a pinch.
I use the ultralight version (old-style white material) as my coffee mug on the trail.
Great for Kids!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This mini Nalgene is perfect for kids. My 5 y/o love it because now he's got a bottle just like mine to throw stickers on and carry with him in the outdoors. Perfect size, and it's got the reliability of a Nalgene bottle to withstand all the abuse he can give it
Fantastic Flagon
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you like transportable water, this is a potential bottle for you. What sets it apart from other water transportation is the lack of leaking and the cool goat logo. From the low low price of $10.09, you can't go wrong.
Love my Goat Nalgene
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
On my latest trip, I was very jealous of my friends Nalgene's. They prove to be perfect when measuring amounts of water for cooking, or putting up a line for a bear bag. I am once again, a Nalgene loyalist.
Summer Ski/Summit Mt Baker camp.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these.
They have a cool little loop that you can attach a carabiner for longer climbs as well as an assortment of accessories so you have straws, etc
I've had mine for YEARS and it's been everywhere from Big Walls in Yosemite to the deserts of Moab.
I think Nalgene offers a lifetime warranty as well.
I just wish backcountry.com carried the REALLY big one's like the one pictured.
Any ideas on that backcountry.com'ers?
Thank you!
I agree. I love the 48oz silo size. I also like the old-style Nalgene material, like the one in your photo, I think they call it the Ultralight model now.
Great bottle
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I also expected it to be larger, like a regular nalgene size. However I still love it because it fits great in cup holders! Perfect for roadtrips
Can someone who own this bottle tell me...
Can someone who own this bottle tell me what diameter it has (the bottle itself, not the mouth) ?
2.5 x 6.5 inches
I finally received an answer from Nalgene. Here it is, for the people who are interested :
"For the 16 ounce wide mouth Tritan bottle, the diameter is 2.72 inches (69.1 mm), the height with cap attached is 6.82 inches (173.2 mm), and the empty weight is about 89 grams (3.14 ounces)"
Is the soft plastic part of the cap (the...
Is the soft plastic part of the cap (the part that bends) strong enough to hook a carabiner and hang on your pack without breaking?
Yes, it is strong enough to do that.
hi. i got a free bottle with a brita...

Mike Snyder chief exec OOCEA says he will go... next March at age 65
Mike Snyder executive director of the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority says he's resigning effective March 7 next, his 65th birthday. His departure had been loudly called for by Teresa Jacobs, the mayor of Orlando and another board member. That meant at least two of the five person board were likely to vote for his ouster.
Jacobs presenting a critical report from a city finance officer blamed Snyder for losses suffered by the Authority from investments in derivatives and swaps, and its weakened financial condition. These have had to be written off after the 2007 financial crisis.
And, the Mayor said, area motorists were being asked to pay higher tolls because of the losses she blamed Snyder for.
Snyder did not respond publicly to the Mayor's criticism but his supporters said it was unfair to single him out. They said such financial instruments were regarded as prudent at the time. Also others were involved in the decision. Hindsight criticism is easy, they said.
In a letter today addressed to Walter Ketcham, chairman of the OOCEA board Snyder says:
"While I stand steadfastly behind my service to our organization, I recognize that my service has become a distraction (from) the good work of the Expressway Authority. Therefore I have decided to retire and will resign my position as Executive Director."
He is 65 March 7th next year, and he says he is retiring then under the terms of his employment contract with full severance pay and benefits.
Sndyer has been chief executive since the retirement of Hal Worrall in 2004.
Wekiva Parkway
OOCEA has been very controversial over the past couple of years because of the Wekiva Parkway project - a belt route in the northwest of the area that at $1.8 billion seems very expensive. Critics have said traffic will fall so far short of supporting the project it could jeopardize the financial position of the Authority. Most of its established tollroads are heavily trafficked and make money.
In his letter Snyder mentions the Weiva Parkway as the major focus of his work. He had "dedicated countless hours" to working on a "funding partnertship" with Florida DOT. Progress had been made but, he says: "there are still legal challenges to work through."
