Aikens Lake Wilderness Lodge in Manitoba is one of the premier Canadian fishing lodges. It first opened in 1949 and has expanded over the years to meet the changing needs and expectations of its clientele.
In present times, from the totally ecological Great Gray Owl, to the incredible moderness of the Boardwalk Chalets, to the beach front luxury of Park Place, and to the remodeled elegance and comfort of Master Angler's Row, we provide a choice of accommodations to meet your needs as well as your budget. As a result, Aikens Lake has become one of the best luxury Canadian fishing lodges.
Eric Carlson, the first proprietor of the 9 acres on Aikens Lake, had had a trap line in the area since the early 1940s. His cabin stood close to today's lodge. One day, he decided to approach the federal government seeking permission to fish commercially on Aikens. This had been tried unsuccessfully back in 1938. The government suggested to him that tourism and sport fishing might be a better idea.
Eric and his son Eddie began preparations in the fall of 1947 for construction the following spring. Trees were downed and brought into camp in the winter with the aid of a three-dog team. It was, of course, much easier to let the dogs drag the trees through the snow than to carry the logs in the summer!
On May 19th, 1949 Aikens Lake Lodge made its grand debut. Among the structures that Eric and Eddie had built was the lodge, which is now used for storage (called "Le Portage"). The first two cabins, cabins 1 & 2, were also up, although they have since been torn down to construct our Boardwalk Chalets. In 1950, Eric's son Alfred came to help build 5 more cabins, which were called Wilderness Trail (they have since been torn down to construct our Sunset Chalets). Eric and his wife Elsie Abestine spent the winters at Aikens Lake, where Eric trapped and built boats in the lodge dining room.
In the Portage, there is a trap door which leads to an underground storeroom connecting to numerous tunnels and pens where the Carlsons kept their animals in the winter time. Eric was a trapper and would spend weeks away from Elsie in the wintertime.
Guests arrived at Aikens Lake by air. Ontario Central flew out of Kenora and Central Northern Airways flew out of Lac du Bonnet. Some guests came from Winnipeg to Lac du Bonnet by train.
The dock wasn't always in the calmness of the back bay. With engines only being a few hp, it would have taken too long to bring the boats all the way around the peninsula every morning and night. Most of the fishing was done in the little section of Gammon River flowing into the lake. There was also some lake trout fishing done in front of the lodge. There are still old dock cribs on the main beach in front of "Le Portage".
Some of our guests have had the opportunity to sit around the campfire and hear about Elsie, our friendly neighborhood ghost. In fact, this is more than just a clever spinster's imagination. Although Elsie passed away in Winnipeg, and not at the lodge, numerous staff members have seen Elsie in the past. Everytime she has been spotted, it has been either in, or around, "Le Portage"... her old cabin. The oddest episode happened back around 1994. Gil Lavack, head guide at the time, was sleeping heavily at 6:00 AM. He felt a hand shaking him and a female voice urging him to wake up. Assuming it was only one of the girls from the camp, he ignored it for awhile. After much persistence, a groggy Gil turned around and was staring directly into the image of Elsie, 1950's attire and all. He could not sleep another wink, and at breakfast was completely shaken up. This is one of many encounters, but is probably the closest contact anyone has had with the apparition.
After 18 years of operation, Aikens Lake Lodge was sold in 1967 to Arthur Gaffrey, a pilot, who had first flown in to Aikens Lake in 1953 while hauling freight. In 1956, he began to fly guests into the lodge.
During the Gaffrey tenure, the kitchen and dining room were built along with the motel unit known now as Master Angler's Row. The North Star and the Lone Coyote cabins (staff quarters) were also erected.
In 1974, Gerry Lavergne and his partner Antoine Frechette bought Aikens Lake Lodge. The partnership dissolved in 1980 and Gerry continued alone. The Master Angler's Club Room was added to the dining room. Orion, (the current Managers Residence) was built along with a modern shower and laundry facility.
In the fall of 1988, Aikens Lake Lodge was sold to Gerry & Lorraine Turenne and Philippe & Jackie Lavack. It became known as Aikens Lake Wilderness Lodge. The first major purchase after acquiring the lodge was the sawmill. It has enabled us to produce our own wood. Not only does this save us the great expense of buying the wood and flying it in, but gives us the unique opportunity to build hand-crafted log structures. These cabins, especially the Great Gray Owl and Boardwalk Chalets, have become some of the most beautiful and unique accommodations that are unmatched among Canada fishing resorts
In 2005, Phil & Jackie retired from the lodge business. Chris Jensen and the PVCAP team entered the fold to work with the Turenne family in bringing Aikens into a new era. The new partners put their immediate stamp on the lodge by investing heavily in the infrastructure of the lodge, which was essential in getting us to where we are today. Their philosophy was that they had loved Aikens so much as guests over the past 13 years, their main focus wasn't to change the philosophies at Aikens, but rather their goal was to bring the cabins and boats up to the same level of quality as the customer service and the rest of the experience had always been for them... and boy did they accomplish that! In those first three years, new structures went up in quick succession starting with "Le Canot" (2-storey men's residence which today houses 16 male staff/year), two new Sunset Chalet cabins, a new laundry facility, guide lockers, and the Ursa Major (office, store, manager's residence). This made everyone's experience off the water that much better. They also brought in our new fleet of incredible Lund Alaskan boats, a revamped fleet of 4-stroke engines to provide reliability and safety on the water, and a luxury van to help shuttle our guests from Winnipeg to Silver Falls in comfort. The modernization of a 55 year old lodge was well under way!
Since those first frantic years, annual reinvestment in the lodge has led to continued improvements including a remodeling of Master Angler's Row Suites, renovations at Park Place, Great Gray Owl, the main lodge, North Star (girls residence), Orion (managers residence), the Lone Coyote, new permanent docks at the lodge and GGO, more boats, new walk-in freezer & storage, and most recently the new construction of the Lost Lake Outpost Camp. It's this commitment to excellence that shines through to all our guests when they step off the plane and see the excellence and craft in every structure at Aikens Lake. It shows that we are not here for the short term - we live and breathe Aikens Lake every day of the year, and we want your experience with us to be as good as can be. Like Doug Stange from In-Fisherman Magazine said all those years ago... "As good as it gets, is that good at Aikens". It continues to be true to this day.
My husband and I never go back to the same place twice, but we loved it so much at Aikens we knew by the end of our first week we'd be back. It's just how well they take care of you there. They make you feel like you're part of the family.
—Denise Kozlowski,
Lake Oswego, Oregon
I've taken many large groups to Aikens and I always tell people beforehand how incredible the service is at Aikens. Every person has said to me at the end of the trip, "We believed you before, but I just can't believe how good they treat you here!" One time Pit and Julie didn't have the type of alcohol on-hand one of our guests was drinking, so they sent a plane out and got it.
—Ron Ball,
Westman Dreams for Kids
I call it a 5-star hotel in the wilderness. It's the neatest place we've ever been, it's like fantasy island.
—Joe Harrington,
Monticello, Arkansas
Each year we go somewhere as a family. We've been to Hawaii, Disney and many other places, but Aikens was one of the best trips we've ever had. Our trip was terrific, and my grandson loved every minute of it.
—Sherry Martin,
Cordova, Illinois
You think you're at a Ritz-Carlton, you seriously get that level of treatment and amenities. Nobody in Manitoba can compete with Aikens for the quality of the fishing, staff, and facilities.
—Steve Andersen,
Lincoln, Nebraska
Trip number five and once again Aikens Lake out did itself. I thought it impossible for this wonderful place to get any better.
—Kris King,
NHL Senior VP of Hockey Operations, 14 year NHL player and captain, and Aikens Lake Honorary Pro Staff Guide
From the accommodations, to the staff and especially shore lunch, the entire experience at Aikens Lake is unmatched.
—Dan Quayle,
Former United States Vice-President
The photos are amazing and like the memories, they will last a lifetime.

October 2, 2013 | By David Wales | 1 Comment
This week's PlayStation Wallpaper of the Week offers some great looking designs surrounding some of the best third-party offerings of this past generation. Assassin's Creed, Sleeping Dogs, and Metal Gear Rising were great experiences and one spawned a multi-title franchise that is going to continue to deliver on the PlayStation 4. Like the first week, this week's wallpapers offer multiple options or you can choose to use them all at once on your PlayStation Vita.
These great abstract designs were created by TheSyanArt from DeviantArt. He has a ton of great work available, so I suggest you check out his full gallery.

For this recipe, check out Coconut lime cupcakes. Photography by Joe Kim.
1 If you could shadow any designer for a day, who would it be?
Tara Ballantyne If I could shadow any designer it would be interior stylist Sibella Court, and her brother photographer Chris Court. They are both so individually talented and make the most beautifully inspired images.
2 Where do you look for an obscure source of inspiration?
TB When I'm really struggling, I go to a sports store and check out the wall of running shoes. Design teams have to come up with different designs almost monthly, but in the same format. I find that creativity within a small frame inspiring!
3 Favorite restaurant?
TB It's a tie between Kolonihagen in Oslo Norway and Pizzaria Bianco in Phoenix, Arizona.
4 Whats your favourite room to decorate?
TB Home office spaces are a favourite. I love to outfit them with clean lines and lots of built-in cabinets… and I am obsessed with stationery, pens and organizing!

A clinic opening in Greenwood's new city building is expected to save more than $100,000 per year in health care costs — if enough employees and their families use it.
The clinic, which opens today in City Center, is staffed by a doctor and other workers from Franciscan St. Francis Health as part of a partnership between the city and hospital group.
The city will spend less money on health care in a year if at least 22 people a week use the clinic. The city has agreed on set prices for the clinic of $3,000 per month to St. Francis for managing the clinic and an additional $106,000 per year to staff it, plus $20,000 for supplies, lab costs and generic prescriptions, human resources director Marilyn Allen said. Employees and their families get free doctor visits, generic prescriptions and lab testing. Currently, 230 full-time city employees and 400 of their family members use the city's health insurance and can go to the clinic, Allen said.
The clinic will eliminate varying physician fees, co-payments and more expensive brand-name medicines.
The city's health insurance is self-funded, which means Greenwood pays employee health insurance claims regardless of where covered workers and dependents choose to get blood drawn or go for an annual physical, she said. After paying about $166,000 to run the clinic, the city expects to save $120,000 to $130,000 per year, she said.
Employees also won't have to take time away from work to drive to the doctor or pick up a prescription. The city estimates the time savings is worth about $16,000 annually in employee productivity, she said.
"We will incur a large savings in it for the taxpayer," Mayor Mark Myers said.
Employees aren't required to use the clinic. But since a doctor visit, basic laboratory testing and generic prescriptions are all free, that should be enough incentive for them to use the clinic, Allen said. Part-time employees and elected officials who aren't eligible for health insurance, such as city council and other board members, will not be able to use the clinic.
The clinic also will have a health coach, who will be there to help employees improve their long-term health by suggesting diet, exercise and medication changes to help with chronic illnesses, she said.
That preventive care should reduce emergency room visits and improve employees' overall health, she said.
Greenwood has discussed offering a health care clinic to employees for the past two years but needed first to study data on what the costs and savings would be. Plus, the city needed to finish renovating the new city hall to house its offices and the clinic, Allen said. The clinic will be open three days a week for a total of 16 hours and will have a doctor, nurse practitioner, nurse, medical assistant, health coach and receptionist.

Awesome, utility knife.
My wife had a swiss army knife that she only ever used for the scissors. She lost track of it earlier this year so I got her the green (her favorite color) Micra for Christmas. She absolutely loves it, scissors are far superior to the old knife and it's compact enough she can keep it on her key ring so it won't get lost. Docked a star because the knife is "too small" in her opinion, but that's just the way things are and now she wants a proper pocket knife, so maybe it's not a bad thing after all!
Absolutely great. I have always liked Gerber and this one is no different. Also great service from Knife Depot and fast.
Great tool, very sturdy.
This multi tool is surprisingly Sturdy, Light weight and totally worth value. It's bigger than your average Leatherman or gerber; feels just as sturdy and actually out performs them as well. I own all three and what makes me feel more comfortable to me; is this tool is has a meatier feel while basically feeling like the same weight, it has bigger blades; more functional. The holster is durable
Good tool, very useful when on the line or teaching. Would have given 5 stars, but the overall quality was a little lacking. Service was great, shipping was right on time.
I have carried one of these on the job for over 20 years! What a great tool! I can't imagine not having it.
This is my third Schrade multi-tool and I am afraid they have made some changes which are not improvements. The Phillips head screwdriver (which I use a lot) has been redesigned in a manner that reduces its grip on screws. Closing up the tool requires more effort but perhaps this issue will go away when it is broken in. Other wise I find this a very handy tool to carry around.

Adding Monsters to Thrift Store Paintings
Twisted Sifter
Thrift store paintings are pretty predictable — religious icons, weird clowns, and lots of very boring landscapes. Not many of us would think to include them in our home decor, unless we found a particularly rare gem or were going for a kitschy tongue-in-cheek theme. But we feature projects of upcycled and hacked thrift store finds all the time. Why not embellish a painting? And if you are going to go through the effort, you might as well make it worthwhile, and not bother adding a tree or quaint woodland cottage. Add a monster. A big one.

Misleading and deceptive conduct
The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) provides protection for employees, including executives, against misleading and deceptive conduct. The provisions of the Act cover the availability, nature or terms and conditions of employment and remuneration, or any other matter relating to the employment. This includes representations regarding a company's financial status or prospects, including profitability and risk, or other material aspect of any business activity of the company that proposes to engage the prospective employee.
If you have been misled or deceived about the terms and conditions of your employment, earnings or career progress, you may have a claim against you employer and there are a number of possible solutions that we can help you achieve.

Successful cases
Morton v Interpro
Morton v Interpro Australia Pty Ltd [2009] FMCA 423
Mr Morton, a senior sales employee of Interpro, alleged his employer had engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct regarding his employment contract.
Mr Morton argued that the company made representations about its commission based bonus scheme during contract negotiations. And that he had accepted the offer of employment on the basis of these representations and had subsequently relocated from the United Kingdom to Australia to join the company. After commencing in the role, the company unilaterally revoked the commission based scheme.
The court held that the representation had induced Mr Morton to accept the role and move to Australia. In such circumstances, the representation was found to be conduct that was misleading and deceptive.
The court awarded Mr Morton compensation for damages suffered plus all legal expenses.
Moss v Lowe Hunt
Anor [2009] FMCA 423 and Moss v Lowe Hunt & Partners [2010] FC 1181
In 2010 Maurice Blackburn represented Mr Moss in a case of misleading and deceptive conduct. Mr Moss was an advertising and research consultant who ran his own company.
He worked on a consultancy basis for Lowe Hunt & Partners (Lowe Hunt). Rather than using Mr Moss on a consultancy basis, Lowe Hunt wanted to employ Mr Moss directly and tried to recruit him to the company. In the course of this recruitment, Lowe Hunt made representations to Mr Moss, including that that the company was a financially successful agency and was in a strong business position.
Moss became an employee of Lowe Hunt after relying on these statements, but within 18 months his role was made redundant. The judge in the case stated it was misleading or deceptive to describe a business as being successful when it did not have the continued support of its parent company.
The court held that Mr Moss was induced to enter into the contract by the misleading conduct on behalf of Lowe Hunt and ordered compensation for damages plus all legal expenses to be paid to Mr Moss for the losses he suffered.
"I wish to thank you for all your hard work as I believe that without your involvement I would have been terminated."

The athletics crossroads Brenden Smith will face next winter may or may not include a home plate.
Committed to play football at Marian University, the Indian Creek senior would love to be part of the Knights' baseball program should circumstances permit.
"I'll probably decide after football season to see how hard it is to balance academics and athletics," said Smith, the Daily Journal's 2013 Player of the Year in football after leading the 9-3 Braves in seven statistical categories, including rushing yards (960), receptions (53), receiving yards (948), touchdowns (34) and total points (205).
"I would love to play baseball, so it will kill me if I can't play."
The 6-foot, 197-pound Smith proved to be a Swiss Army knife for the Braves last football season having at some point lined up at receiver, running back, quarterback, safety, linebacker, punter, kicker and return specialist.
A four-year starter in baseball, Smith, the Braves' shortstop and No. 3 hitter, has grown up wanting to play professional baseball. To relinquish the sport would mean, in effect, surrendering a dream.
"Brenden is not the first one to have this problem. I played two years of basketball and football at Indiana Central (now the University of Indianapolis), so I know how he's thinking," Indian Creek football coach Mike Gillin said.
"It's one of the things you hate for kids to have to go through. I think Brenden loves baseball as much as he does football, and he's always been honest about that. But his scholarship is in football, so he has to honor that commitment."
Marian's 2014 baseball roster includes three players from Johnson County high schools — sophomore pitcher Brett Schultheis (Franklin), sophomore infielder Brice Laigle (Center Grove) and freshman outfielder Conner Beidelman (Greenwood).
On the Knights' spring football roster are sophomore defensive back Austin Bowman (Franklin) and senior offensive lineman Luke Burkhart, who is from Greenwood and attended Roncalli High School. Former Center Grove kicker Seth Northern is an incoming freshman.
In other words, Smith fits in whether he plays both sports or just football.
Marian's football program achieved the summit in 2012 by winning the NAIA national championship.
Enter Mark Henninger, himself a Roncalli graduate who in 2013 watched his first Knights squad rally from a 1-3 start to finish with the season with a 6-5 record.
The Marian coaching staff's options are many when it comes to Smith.
"They are looking to put me at safety or possibly as an outside linebacker. I'm just looking to get on the field any way I can. I enjoy scoring touchdowns, but I also like to hit people," Smith said.
"I take it as a compliment they think I'm tough enough to play defense for them."
Smith squeezed as much out of his four years at Indian Creek as possible, lettering all four years in both sports while maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average.
He caught a total of 215 passes over his football career for 48 touchdowns. His 3,157 receiving yards puts him at No. 8 all-time among Indiana high school players.
Gillin's program posted a 38-13 record with him in uniform.
"It's definitely been interesting," Smith said, laughing. "Starting as a freshman in football going to (Class 3A) semistate with that very talented (2010) team kind of set me up for high school. It's just been amazing for me athletically and socially. An experience I don't want to end."
Soon enough it will. Then it's onward and upward for one of the best all-around athletes ever to wear Indian Creek colors.
"It might work out to where Brenden still plays baseball. What he wants is what I want him to get," Gillin said. "He was certainly a huge part of what we've been able to do the last four years."

What has your local celebrity done for you lately?
Everyone has their own opinions about how much celebrities need to "give back" to the community. But when big stars do come through and help someone in need, there's no doubt that it makes for a feel-good story – once the shock wears off, of course.
Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford are just a few of the Hollywood stars who have turned out to be real life superheros with their acts of bravery and generous acts of giving. Watch the video to see how, without a private trailer, stunt double or personal assistant in sight, these celebs have stood up and done the right thing.
After you've seen these real world do-gooders in action, you can also check out a sneak peak of Arrow, the action-packed new show premiering on CW on Wed., Oct. 10 at 8 PM.
Find out more about Arrow and check out the extended trailer for the show!
Arrow stars Stephen Amell as billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, who dons a secret superhero identity to fight crime and make amends for the wrongs he has done in his past. A hero unlike any other, and a show you simply can't miss. Arrow premieries on CW on Wed., Oct. 10 at 8 PM.

Soccer Team on the Ball When Balancing Life, Sports
Published: Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 11:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 11:13 p.m.
Life can be hectic.
From a career to family life, once it's all said and done, there's not much "me" time left in a day. But don't tell that to members of the Lakeland Cosmos adult men's league soccer team because if there's a way, they're going to be on the field with a ball at their feet.
"We have players on the team that have played amateur level, players on the team that have played collegiate level," Cosmos manager Daragh Cullen said. "We're a mix of players who are younger (and) older. … It's a delicate balance of the different style of players."
The Cosmos have been around since 2007, playing their games at the Southwest Complex in Lakeland on Sundays. And the team wrapped up its D1 Florida Suncoast Soccer League season on July 7 after falling to Kickers FC, a Premier-level club team from St. Petersburg.
The thing is, these guys aren't professional athletes — heck, they're not even semipro. The Cosmos players are 20 to 39 years old, and they dedicate multiple nights a week, plus weekends, playing.
That's in addition to working or going to college and, for some, being a husband and dad.
"It's not easy, that's for sure," said team captain Trevor Clark. "How do you balance it? For us, we've all played at a pretty high level, and it's just something that helps you keep your fitness up and stay healthy."
For Clark, being a team captain is just one of his responsibilities. The 33-year-old Lake Gibson grad balances his leadership role with the Cosmos with being a father of two and working as a logistics agent.
"It's become a part of my whole family's life," said Clark, who played in college at Florida Southern and professionally in Romania. "Basically, it's built into the fiber of our lives, for sure."
That time balance is no different for Clark's co-captain, Denny Townsend. While he lacks the marriage and children, Townsend has had his own responsibilities to overcome. He was a law student at Florida State this year.
"Honestly, during the week, I know I have a game on the weekends, so I just bust my tail all week so I can take Sunday off," said Townsend, a George Jenkins grad. "A lot of times, what I did was I found my textbook for my class on a CD and I put it in my car and played it during the drive."
There's an array of responsibilities that zip around one's daily life, but to have the opportunity to spend time away from it all while playing the sport they love with people they consider friends makes it an easy decision.
"For me, it was important to play because it was something that gives me some balance," said Townsend, who played at the University of Tampa and Florida Southern. "Just because I enjoy it so much, it gives you some joy in life instead of work-work-work."
Even with obstacles that can come up at any time, the core group has found a way on and off the field to make it work.
"We've had guys come to a game, he had gotten married the night before and we were all at the wedding, and he came to the game for his honeymoon — his wife sat on the sidelines," Cullen said. "We had another guy, his wife had a baby, and he came to the game. It is what it is. Life happens."

Great idea!
I may have a Ciocc Designer in a small size (51cm), but my friend is trying it out. If it doesn't get sold, I'll toss it up here too :P
Somehow this needs to be organized. I have no idea how, but some sort of spreadsheet with the frames sorted by size?
I need to measure, but I have several frames worth trading.
I like the idea of a spreadsheet, but don't have the savvy for that. Volunteers?
We could do a google document. What information do we need on it? Effective TT and ST meaurements, maybe description to give a rough idea of worth (frame materials, condition, and such), and then an ISO description?
A = full / butted molybdenum-alloy steel --don't bother saying whether 531, Columbus, Tange, or what.
B = partial / straight gauge molybdenum-alloy steel -- again, don't bother with the details.
C = hi tensile steel.
D = anything other than steel.
I suggest three grades of paint:
A = excellent and original
B = okay (does not need repaint)
C = terrible (needs repaint)
If you're getting rid of a frame that requires unusual parts, non-English BB and headset, unusual sized FD or whatever, I suggest you include it if you can.
Other information required: dropouts, eyelets, other brazed on fittings. Damage should be clearly stated.
What else, guys? As I said before, this thread is probably just a trial balloon. What rules would you like to see? Under what terms would you, or would you not, play this game?
-- traded to frogbutter --
these are all way too nice! *somebody* has to have some big ol' beat up frame that is on par with my Botteccia... :D
edit: Frame C (but chrome lugs on the fork) / Paint B-ish
italian bb / 120mm rear spacing
I have a NOS Schwinn Super Sport LE road bike frame, size "L", which I would guess is like a 59-60cm. Slightly sloped top tube, replaceable der hanger (I have the correct one) never built up. Never been able to find anything out about this frame (including from Schwinn and the shop that sold it to me) other than it was from a line of frames they sold several years ago only to LBS, not to dept. stores. Headbadge and seat tube badge, made in China, aluminum, and now you know as much as I do. Cable stops at the upper end of the DT, 130 spacing. Black and silver and in storage, so no pics immediately at hand. Have an (also new) SE fork to go along with it, fork is root beer colored but the threadless stem is long enough to work with the frame, which requires an integrated headset. I suspect this would make a pretty nice bike once built up but would require STI's or thumbies or bar ends.
Also have a 1990 Cannondale M400, red, with the correct fork. At least I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Needs a respray/powder coat but appears dent free and straight. Would make a nice tourer or use it for a 'cross bike. It's a shortie- with 700C wheels it would build up to about 54cm. Takes V-brakes or cantilevers or whatever else fits on those stubs that are welded/brazed to the seat stays and front fork. 130mm spacing. Also in storage but can dig it out and post pics for anyone who might be interested.
Bought both of these when I was feeling pretty frisky and experimental, but have since realized I'm strictly a DT shifter/road bike/caliper brake kinda guy. Will trade one (or preferably both) for any reasonable frame 58cm or smaller in dent-free condition.
This is getting too much like work. SOMEBODY has to both a) want these frames, and 2) have something to swap for them. Anything as long as it's not made for Some Giant Person. Seems like everyone who wants to buy a bike from me these days is the size of eeekamouse.
Heck, to sweeten the deal I'll throw in a full Suntour Alpha3000 setup (FD/RD/DT Shifters/Freewheel) with the Cannondale frame. Indexed, solid and kinda sporty looking.
Otherwise both frames will wind up going to the local Bike Co-Op & I'll just take the tax deduction.
I'll play...I think I have some frames that are too big for me, was going to try to flip these or solicit trades on CL.
They are nothing exotic. Just some specific era frames good to someone tall or needs large flippers.
First one: '79 Ross Pro Grand Tour. 62cm. Posted initially in the 'saved' thread.
I'll take a similar spec road frame in my size (55-57cm c-t). It's for a SS/fixie project. Can take 27" or 700C wheels as I have both as spares.
Second: '95 Cannondale M300 LE MTB in black. Large 22" rigid hardtail. 1" threaded unicrown Spinner fork. Small dent underneath rear monostay, hard to see actually. It's paint is fair. Series 3.8, made in the USA. I was going to make it a drop bar tourer/utility project, but it's awfully high for my 30" inseam. ;)
I will trade for a similar aged or older, smaller Cannondale mtb or road frame.
Third: '80 Ross Diamond Cruiser frameset, in gray/blue. Large frame. Kinda like a city MTB than outright cruiser. Comes with headset, bull moose SR stem and seatpost. Fair condition. Will trade for a more traditional cruiser style frameset.
19" 1992 Trek 1200. A little small for me.
Attachment 183734
I have this repainted (Dr. Deltron) 1984 Trek 760 frame that I would be happy to see go somewhere it would get more use. It's 54cm ctc in the seat tube, 53cm ctc in the top tube. Lugged 531P Reynolds tubing. The paint is rich purple and in outstanding condition, fork ends are chrome. The frame was pretty much a top-of-the-line crit geometry frame when it was made. My Bob Jackson, and Raleigh Team Pro make this effectively redundant in my stable. Would be willing to include the current (I believe original) Stronglight, A-9 needle bearing headset for the right exchange.
I'd be looking for something with at least butted tubing, in 55 - 58 cm size range. Would prefer sport touring, or touring geometry. Willing to consider older frame that's sound, and not in great finish, so don't be shy about proposing a trade.
Another MTB submission.
15" 1988 Giant Iguana. This thing is really tiny, super short front/center. I have toe overlap with my dainty size 8 shoes. More pics available by clicking on the pic, then clicking on the "Older" button.

On the subject of order, do bicycle swap meets hand out spreadsheets to shoppers? I would thinking digging through the thread is appropriate when trading crappy frames.
Personally, I have a few frames to offer, but none I'd consider crappy. Unfortunately, my interest is very narrow, so I'll keep my eye on the thread.
Doesn't seem to be for crappy frames, just frames that don't work for you. Personally, I like to see the details of the frames up for trade.
Wouldn't think it would work very well unless local. Shipping is a PITA-(maybe not for just a frameset) but for bikes already together. I like the swap idea-just right for giant peeps swapping with wee peeps. Guess I'll see what evolves.
Post script- I'm a wee person
Shipping a frame is $25-$40, depending on size and location.
My hope with this thread is that we consider passing our useless goods ("crap") on without worrying too much about what we get in return, so long as it fits. The frame I have is, for my purposes useless ("crap") because it's too (a) small (b) racy and (c) modern. Something in my size would be far more useful. If it's still crap, at least it would be crap in my size. It's not a terrible frame. It's really quite nice, it's just useless to me.
I'm not a gambler, and I recommend anyone playing this game understand what they're getting. But inasmuchas the BOCPAG was gambling, and the secret Santa game was gambling, this too is gambling. You put something in, and you get something out. No one promises that what you get out is more valuable than what you put in.
Anyway, I started this thread, and will follow it, but I'm not making up the rules. I'm merely suggesting rules I'd like. Make your own rules, arrange your own trades, and make someone happy. If anyone's happy, I'll be happy.
And if I get a 60 cm Claud Butler (or Holdsworth, Carlton, Hetchins, Norman, &c), I'll be especially happy!
Yes, John, you have it right. This isn't to be limited in any way. It's a free-for-all! Anyone who wants to organize it, categorize it, and make it work, please! Be my guest!
I have several I would be willing to trade for something comparable 53-54cm.
60cm Peugeot UO8
58cm Peugeot PR10....complete bike has not been cleaned up
64cm Ross Ish 024
64cm Miyata 210.....lots of scratches
58cm Trek 600 Series......has few small areas w/paint bubbling
I'd offer more ideas for rules, but I don't really have that many extra frames :P
Off hand, these are the ones I can remember:
1984 Takara professional, 64cm
1984ish Univega Viva Sport, 68 cm, repaired a slightly bent seat stay
1984ish Lotus Elite (touring), 47 or 48 cm, slight bend in left rear seat stay near bottom
1984ish Centurion LeMans, silver, decals removed, 54-55cm
1987 or so Novara Triforma or something like that, 56cm Tange No.1 lugged frame, nice.
1988 Bianchi Sport SX frame (in black), 58 cm, may be a 59
1972+/- Atala 101 Professional 58-59cm
1992 or so Trek 710 or so hybrid frame (700C MTB commuter), 18-19 inches I think.
Late 1980's Bianchi MTB (Axis or something), 18-19 inches
1985 Trek 830 21-22 inch MTB frame
2002 Jamis Ventura, 62 cm
A pile of others. What are you looking for.

Associated Press
PARIS — Here comes the French Open final everyone expected and, except for other players, wanted:
No. 1 Novak Djokovic, one victory from becoming the first man in 43 years to win four consecutive major championships, against No. 2 Rafael Nadal, one victory from becoming the only man to win seven titles at Roland Garros.
How's that for high stakes?
Djokovic is undefeated in his past 27 Grand Slam matches, which includes beating Nadal in the finals at Wimbledon in July, the U.S. Open in September, and the Australian Open in January. Nadal has won 51 of 52 career matches at the French Open; only he and Bjorn Borg have won the clay-court tournament six times.
Never before have the same two men met in four Grand Slam finals in a row, so it's apt that no matter who wins Sunday, his achievement will be monumental.
"I have this golden opportunity to make history. This motivates me. It really inspires me. I'm really grateful to be in this position, obviously," said the 25-year-old Djokovic, who owns five Grand Slam titles to Nadal's 10. "And look, I'll try to prepare for that match and get my hands on that trophy, if I can."
Won't be easy, that's for sure.
Both Djokovic and Nadal breezed through their semifinals Friday. If this stage of a Grand Slam tournament is supposed to provide a challenge, it did not — which probably isn't all that stunning in Nadal's case, but was rather striking when you consider Djokovic faced 16-time major champion Roger Federer and won 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 in a match that wasn't really that close.
"His mental state and preparation for this match was excellent," said Djokovic's coach, Marian Vadja, "and this has to happen against Rafa."
Nadal found himself flying by the seat of his pants — OK, white shorts — on one point against No. 6 David Ferrer, somehow winning the exchange despite falling on his rump. Otherwise, he was completely in control en route to a 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 victory.
"I'm surprised," said Toni Nadal, Rafael's uncle and coach, "because we were expecting a very difficult match against one of the best players in the world."
Make no mistake: Ferrer is a formidable opponent, not someone who got hot for a few weeks to sneak into the semifinals.
He was playing in his third Grand Slam semifinal. He already won two clay-court titles this year. And it was Ferrer who upset Nadal in the 2011 Australian Open quarterfinals, stopping his bid for a fourth consecutive Grand Slam title — the milestone Djokovic now seeks.
Nadal won all 15 sets he's played this year at Roland Garros, losing only 35 games, the lowest total for anyone reaching a major final since Borg lost 31 on his way to winning the 1980 French Open.
Nadal has won 71 of 72 service games, saving 18 of 19 break points — pretty close to perfect.
"I really don't like to talk about perfection, because that, my opinion, doesn't exist. You can always play better," said the 26-year-old Nadal, whose only loss at the French Open came against Robin Soderling in 2009. "But, sure, I am very happy the way that I am playing. Probably today was my best match of the tournament."
With Ferrer serving at 1-1, 30-all in the second set, Nadal produced a masterpiece, turning a gaffe into a highlight.
During a point that lasted more than 30 shots, Nadal's feet slipped out from under him as he sprinted toward the net. On the slow-motion replay, it's easy to see that his eyes never left the ball, even as he crashed to the court. Suddenly sitting — yes, plopped on his backside, right there in the middle of the most important clay-court stadium in the world — Nadal raised his left arm to slice a backhand drop shot that prolonged the point and drew Ferrer forward.

"Like the Little Grand CAnyon" Colorado National Monument by BruceDunning
Colorado National Monument Travel Guide: 30 reviews and 94 photos
This is a wonderful place that is not well publicized. The overall preserved area is 225 miles that includes the adjacent NCA (Conservation Area) of McInnis/Black Ridge. The Colorado Monument itself is 32 square miles. The CCC carved out the main road in the 1930's-all 23 miles mostly with rudimentary hand tools.
The hikes are as difficult as many other parks out in this rugged and remote regions of the desert west. I at least found that so. I hiked one day 12 miles, and that exhausted an old guy like me.
This entrance is off the back way in from the town, instead of off I-70 and onto Hwy 340 from the north. It is easier to get to the park form there, and then loop around to come out the north side.
The main road through the park is Rim Rock Drive, a 23 mile drive end to end. Many trails (14 total) and overlook vistas (11) are available through the drive. From the town center take Monument Road to Rim Rock Dr and enter from south, or Hwy 340 from the north. This abuts the BLM McMinnis CAnyon for those more adventuresome. It is rugged back country driving, and difficult hikes.
- Pros:The park is not as crowded as some others and lively
- Cons:The hikes can be rigerous and demanding on the novice
- In a nutshell:This is a serene and peaceful place to hike and enjoy

Love this type of National Park scenery!
This monument certainly isn't well publicized. I lived in Colorado a number of years, and haven't even heard about this area of the state. It was an interesting read. Thanks! :-)
God's country, indeed! Fantastic photos! Grazie!
This is a gorgeous little area. A beginning for what is to come as one makes their way further west!
thanks for stopping by . oh, this bring back great memories of COlorado national monument ..great place!! U.
Excellent tips about a beautiful area. Great descriptions and outstanding photographs to match.
What a beautiful place. Colorado has to be one of the prettist states. I know it am fond of her. Nice page!

A Toast to 50 Cent's New Series: Power
The rap artist 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, is producing a new series on STARZ called Power. Famed for his entrepreneurial skills in hip-hop and business, not to be overlooked is his important contribution to contract law and knowledge. Thanks to an intense dispute with his girlfriend a decade ago, students and lawyers have been treated to a saga 50 Cent endured that illuminates the nature of contracts—of legally enforceable bargains. In a tribute to his latest venture, herewith an account of this case from my book, Contracts in the Real World: Stories of Popular Contracts and Why They Matter (Cambridge University Press 2012).
Jackson secured his first recording contract in October 2003. It came with a $300,000 advance. To boost his professional image as a rapper, he bought a Hummer and a Connecticut mansion once owned by boxer Mike Tyson. The mansion boasted a state-of-the-art recording studio and the rapper hired a full-time caretaker and professional cleaning crew to maintain it. In 2004 Jackson bought another house in Valley Stream, the small village in New York's Nassau County where his grandmother lived; in December 2006, he added to his real estate holdings a $2 million house at 2 Sandra Lane, Dix Hills, on Long Island, New York. By then, he had sold tens of millions of recordings, toured the world, and amassed hundreds of millions of dollars in net worth, as chronicled in his 2005 autobiographical film, "Get Rich, or Die Tryin."
This success came after hard knocks. Jackson had dealt crack cocaine as a teenager. In 1995, at age 20, he was released from jail and became involved with Shaniqua Tompkins in his hometown of Jamaica in Queens, New York. The two had a son, Marquise, out of wedlock in 1996. Jackson and Tompkins had no money and no real home—living with his grandmother or hers. In May 2000, Jackson nearly died when he was shot nine times during a gangland ambush. He was in the hospital for weeks, followed by months of rehab spent at his mother's house, near the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. Though before the shooting Jackson had been negotiating with Columbia Records, the record company stopped returning his calls.
Jackson, however, persevered. In November 2001, he launched a recording company, Rotten Apple Records. The rising rap star Eminem brought Jackson's 2002 self-produced record to the industry's attention. As a result, Interscope Records offered Jackson the 2003 deal that propelled him to fame and fortune. With money flowing in and Jackson leading the high life, Tompkins asserted her right to a share. But Jackson's relationship with Tompkins was tumultuous. They did not always live together and fought often, sometimes physically.
When Jackson bought the Dix Hills house in 2006, both agreed it was the best place to raise Marquise, then almost 10-years-old, and Tompkins pled with Jackson to put it in her name. Though Jackson promised to do so, he never did. After the relationship soured, Jackson tried to evict Tompkins from the Dix Hills house. During that battle, the house burned to the ground under circumstances that authorities considered suspicious. The house had been insured against fire, but the policy lapsed for non-payment of the premium a few weeks before. In response to Jackson's eviction lawsuit, Tompkins asserted a claim of her own: that the two had a contract entitling her to $50 million. Read More
