The white, crescent-shaped outlines of bubbles bloom and split on the surface, an early-morning invitation for a gathering of shad.
The 62-year-old freshwater fishing captain, who knows Bradenton's Lake Evers as well as the lake's oldest fish, unravels a cast net onto the water. Shad have swarmed to the high oxygen levels provided by a churning aerator. Now they're surrounded by walls of green mesh.
Dead bait.
"That's a lot of bait," Doc Lee says, flipping the net into a bucket as the shad flop into a gob of shimmying bait fish. "That should last all day."
A Florida country lake before dawn sleeps like a resting heart. It's barely alive with the staccato call of a purple gallinule or grunt of a frog. Purple light seeps through the curling, shoreline frame of Brazilian pepper trees. Pockets of rain empty themselves broke on the 400-acre lake.
"The rain should come and go all day," Doc says.
He drops the motor on the 13-foot Boston Whaler and sets his mind on one of the prettiest and ugliest, tastiest and muddiest, infamous and famous, fish species there is — catfish.
Who hasn't had a big cat that got away?
Long, black whiskers on a fish? Always an oddity.
There may not be a tougher fish, physically or spiritually. Cats have skin so thick and fixed to the bones, some use pliers to get to the meat. Their barbs can etch hard lessons in your hands. Throw one in the ice chest, and six hours later, it's as though they've developed lungs.
Run this route: Go deep, no more than a foot from the bottom, with 10-pound test line, a small hook and dead shad clipped twice on the belly to emit enough grungy scent to attract this stink-loving fish. Split two 12-foot extension poles wide. Cast corks into the four and five holes. Hit the structure. Silent count.
What makes good catfish bait? Chum with Cheetos and bait with cheese. Catfish Charlie is the nastiest concoction besides Jack Mack. But whatever works, right? Hot dogs, ham sandwiches, grasshopper behinds, dough balls, mullet heads — how about jigging a cigarette butt?
The most common bait is, of course, a pile of worms fished right on the bottom.
If we are what we eat, there are plenty of bottom feeders holed up in the South. Still, soak the fillets in buttermilk, toss them in white corn meal (with no egg wash for extra crispiness), sear them in scorching corn oil, dash the salt and pepper, and the Southern feast that began in the bowels of a lake sings on the edge of the dinner plate.
But let's talk Tampa Bay area catfish holes. Many are a bit inland. Lake Manatee and Lake Evers, as well as the upper Manatee River, are decent in Manatee County, and the Myakka River in Sarasota County has some good holes on bends with overhanging structure. But try the Apalachicola and Escambia rivers for some big boys.
Some of the canals of the Kissimmee and Clermont chains have been favorites of some catfish chasers, and the St. John's River reportedly has some good cat spots as well.
In general, catfish like to hang around structure or areas with good tidal flow. Most catfish anglers know catfish bite best at night.
Or in the early mornings, like on Tuesday at Evers. Six catfish in two hours. Four white cats and a pair of brown bullheads. All fought like cur dogs on a boar hog.
It's mid-morning, and headed back to refurbished the Boston Whaler splits the rain-lashed lake. Doc braces a hand on his fishing hat and flexes his eyelids. He is shouting something, but the words collapse in a gauntlet of rain and prop chopping.
Appropriately, the word "catfish" makes it through.

Home Remedies
Apple Cider Vinegar
Before you cringe, make an "I just ate a lemon" face and go to another page, take a moment to read about this very old folk remedy.
Physicians of many diverse healing practices and great grandmothers sometimes have more in common that one might think. Apple Cider Vinegar is one aspect of this common ground. The concept of preventing and treating ills with apples began long before the coining of the adage, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." In fact there is an even older maxim, "To eat an apple before going to bed, makes a doctor beg his bread." Apples, as discussed in Fruit and Juice Therapy, are full of pectin, a soluble fiber, vitamins and minerals. That alone makes an apple a healthy food, but many consider apple cider vinegar as the ultimate form of an apple.
Not only does apple cider vinegar help to alkalize the body, but it is very rich in potassium. A variety of research indicates that potassium is one of the key nutritional factors in apple cider vinegar that assists in easing, and possibly preventing, many ailments. Potassium promotes cell growth and has even been called the "mineral equivalent to the fountain of youth." The University of Minnesota School of Medicine conducted experiments that indicate potassium may be very beneficial to those individuals that suffer irregular heart beat. Other research shows that can help prevent high blood pressure by countering the damaging effects of sodium. So why not pop a potassium supplement? It is an individual choice, but why take a pill when the natural mineral is at your fingertips?
Potassium, however, is not a cure-all. Too much potassium can be dangerous for some people, especially those with kidney problems. It is always wise to consult your health care provider who can assist in making the correct determination of individual requirements.
The curative history of vinegar
Vinegar has been used to cure and prevent a variety of ailments throughout history. According to ancient Assyrian tablets, earaches were relieved by treating the patient with vinegar. Later, Hippocrates, considered the father of medicine, treated patients with one of the world's original recognized medicines: vinegar. That was in 400 B.C. Then, in Biblical times, a variety of infections were treated with vinegar. "Thieves Vinegar' was used during the plague of the Middle Ages by thieves who poured the smelly concoction over themselves before robbing a plague victims home. And, during the American Revolutionary and Civil Wars, vinegar was used as an antiseptic and disinfectant.
The claims to fame of apple cider vinegar
Research has shown that apple cider vinegar can assist in aiding digestion, lowering bad cholesterol, strengthening the heart, lowering blood pressure, stabilizing blood sugar and it contains anti-oxidants which help ward off certain cancers.
Apple cider vinegar's other claims to fame include relieving sore throats, slowing the aging process, relieving leg cramps, soothing sunburn, controlling dandruff and itchy scalp, flushing harmful toxins from the system which is thought to aid arthritis and assisting in weight control.
How does one use apple cider vinegar?
A nutritionist will be able to specifically recommend the best way each individual should use apple cider vinegar to assist in treatment of her or his ailments. But for general information purposes the following are some of the more common ways people use apple cider vinegar:
As a daily tonic
Many nutritionists and main-stream physicians have begun to link the regular use of apple cider vinegar and a lack of colds or influenza in those that consume the tangy beverage. To take as a daily tonic mix one or two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and two teaspoons of honey in eight ounces warm or cold water, depending on personal preference. Many nutritionists feel that warm or tepid water may produce more benefits, but European research indicates both are helpful.
As a natural pick-me-up
Some people claim that taking a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of honey in six to eight ounces of water in mid-morning and mid-afternoon, provides an extra boost of energy that carries them until the next meal.
Tired aching feet
For a soothing foot bath, put a half a cup apple cider vinegar in a tub of warm water. Wiggle your toes around and let your feet soak for a few minutes. This is great to do just be fore bed. Some people claim that if this is done every evening it helps to treat athlete's foot.
A natural facial
Try this once a week. Your complexion should feel clean, smooth and refreshed. Mix ten green grapes, two teaspoons apple cider vinegar, one teaspoon honey and one teaspoon oatmeal in a blender until you have a sticky liquid. Clean you face and neck and apply the mixture, leaving it on for at least five minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Hmmm... soft as a baby's behind.

NORTH SPOKANE--Spokane County Sheriff's Deputies arrested a burglar in North Spokane after he tried to cut through the floor of a business with a chainsaw.
Deputies responded to a silent alarm at Pattison's North on N. Mayfair Rd. around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday. Although the alarm was silent, a faint drilling noise could be heard inside the building.
A man was found outside the business holding a pistol in one hand and a German Shepherd in the other yelling "get on the ground or I'll shoot." The man, who was the owner of the business, was ordered to drop the gun and control his dog.
The owner told authorities on scene he was yelling at a guy that climbed out from under the building holding a chainsaw. He said the man had fled and described him as wearing dark clothing and a heavy coat.
A truck was located nearby registered to 41-year-old Joseph Sica.
While searching around the business, a man matching Sica's description was found walking in the area. Deputies noticed the man was sweating profusely and his pants were wet as if he'd been kneeling on the ground and detained him.
While searching the business, authorities found a hole cut in the floor with a cutting tool similar to a chainsaw.
Sica admitted the chainsaw belonged to him and that he was there to cut down a tree. Sawdust and small woodchips were also noticed on Sica's clothing.
Sica was placed under arrest for 2nd degree burglary. When he was told this, his response was "but I didn't get in."

AUDIO: dialup - broadband - podcast
Good morning and welcome to Abundant Living Ministries CyberChurch. Jesus said in John 10:10, "The thief has come for nothing but to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come that you might have life in overflowing abundance."
So today let's honor our guest of honor, Jesus. He has come so that we can have life in great abundance. Whatever is in your life that is breathing death into you, Jesus Christ can transform that situation into life, if you will only trust and obey.
Let's all stand to our feet and go to the Lord in prayer.
Lord God, thank you for today and that we can gather together from all around the world to seek your presence and to listen for the voice of your word.
We pray for JPT's friends, the one with a lifetime of physical pain, that you would comfort and heal her; the one who is close to coming to Jesus, that you would continue to draw her by your Holy Spirit; and for the other friend, that you would do a great work in her life, in Jesus' name.
We pray for the dear lady who has asked us to pray that she find faith in God as she searches for truth, that God would guide her to himself; you see her heart, and you know that she is searching for you. Reveal yourself to her, may she know the Truth so that he can set her free.
We pray for Isabel, who says she's having surgury soon and who asks that God would calm her and help her keep her eyes on Jesus. We ask for comfort, for a sweet, real presence of your Holy Spirit with her, and through this time may she draw closer to you than she has ever been before.
Lord, I pray for each one here and each one listening or reading later. I ask that you reveal Jesus to each and every one, that you remove any blinders from their eyes, ears, minds, and hearts, and that they would run into your arms and truly find life.
And it's in Jesus' name we pray.
Click-touch the pulpit or watch the overhead, as we worship God with song.
You shall go out with joyAnd be let forth with peaceAnd the mountains and the hillsWill break forth before youThere'll be shouts of joyAnd all the trees of the fieldsWill clap, will clap their hands
And all the trees of the fieldswill clap their handsThe trees of the fields will clap their handsThe trees of the fields will clap their handsWhile you go out with joy
I've got a river of life flowing out of me!Makes the lame to walk, and the blind to see.Opens prison doors, sets the captives free!I've got a river of life flowing out of me!
Spring up, O well, within my soul!Spring up, O well, and make me whole!Spring up, O well, and give to meThat life abundantly.
Jesus, name above all namesBeautiful Savior, glorious Lord.Emmanuel, God is with us.Blessed Redeemer, Living word.
Let's keep our attention focused on Jesus. Holy Spirit, teach us now, reveal Jesus to us; open our eyes and soften our hearts. We ask you to work miracles in lives today, in Jesus' name.
You may be seated.
Today we're going to discuss a topic which I believe we cannot afford to overlook. Scripture tells us about a time of deception in which many will fall away from the faith. I believe we are coming very close to that time, and we can see the conditions for such a time ripening.
We have entered an age of moral relativism and ultra-tollerance for everything besides moral absolutes. It's okay to believe everything, as long as you don't really believe anything. And, being swept into the age of this day, some are being led astray into darkness and spiritual death.
Recently I've heard some claims that many Christians have found disturbing. There's a video that's growing in popularity which, presented in the fashion of a documentary, claims the Christian faith is based upon Egyptian mythology.
I've heard the same claims circulated in various writings and forums as well.
While I'm not going to waste time addressing every single claim, let's take a quick look at just one of them, then decide whether the rest can be believed.
"Jesus is Horus."
Horus was an Egyptian mythological figure. The story states that he was the son of two gods, Isis and Osiris.
The claims that Jesus is a made-up copy of Horus have many components, and I'd like to touch on a few of them. Please keep in mind as I read these, that they are only claims made by others concerning Jesus, and we will explore whether they are true in just a moment.
1. Horus was born of a virgin. Jesus was born of a virgin.
2. Horus' foster father was Seph. Jesus' foster father was Joseph.
3. Horus was of royal descent. Jesus was of royal descent.
4. Horus' birth was followed by three wise men who followed a star bearing gifts. Jesus' birth was followed by three wise men who followed a star bearing gifts.
5. Horus' birth was announced by angels. Jesus' birth was announced by angels.
6. Herut tried to murder the infant Horus. Herod tried to murder the infant Jesus.
7. Horus was baptized at age 30 by Anup the Baptist in a river. Jesus was baptized at age 30 by John the Baptist in a river.
8. Horus resisted temptations by Sut on a high mountain. Jesus resisted temptations by Satan on a high mountain.
9. Horus had twelve followers. Jesus had twelve disciples.
10. Horus performed miracles such as healing the sick and walking on water. Jesus performed miracles such as healing the sick and walking on water.
11. Horus raised Osiris from the dead. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.
12. Horus was crucified. Jesus was crucified.
13. Horus was crucified with two thieves. Jesus was crucified with two thieves.
12. Horus was buried and resurrected in Anu. Jesus was buried and resurrected in Bethlehem.
13. Horus came back to life after three days. Jesus came back to life after three days.
14. The resurrection of Horus was announced by three women. The resurrection of Jesus was announced by three women.
14. Horus was called the anointed one. Jesus was called the anointed one.
So what about these claims? Is Jesus just another myth, copied after an ancient Egyptian god? If so, then everything we believe would begin to ring hollow. If these things were true, we may be better off believing nothing but what we can prove in a laboratory.
Since most of us haven't studied original ancient Egyptian mythology, it's quite easy to hear claims presented in a convincing manner and simply believe those claims are true. So let's go back through these quickly and see what Egyptian mythology REALLY says, and then we can determine whether to believe any of the other claims that the life of Jesus is simply a fictional copy of ancient Egyptian mythology.
And please keep in mind that, as we discuss Egyptian mythology, it is just that -- mythology. Although to make the discussion go more smoothly I'm not going to point out that fact throughout these points, simply remember that when we talk about the mythological gods and their acts, we're talking about made up stories.
1. Horus was concieved by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. Jesus was concieved by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin.
Actually, Horus was the son of Isis and Osiris who were married. And the Holy Spirit? That figure did not exist in Egyptian mythology and had nothing to do with the story.
Horus did not have a foster father, Osiris was his father.
Horus was a god born of gods and was therefore a diety, not royalty.
The Delta Cycle, which is the oldest complete texts of the Horus myth, do not agree.
Actually, Isis gave birth to Horus in secret. It was not announced by anyone to anyone.
From the time he was born, Set and his minions, the snakes, attempted to murder Horus. There was no parallel.
Egyptians did not have such a tradition. Horus was never baptised.
The story actually goes that Horus and Sut were having one of many large battles, and one of them seduces the other. Then Set became preganant by Horus.
This simply is not true.
Horus never healed the sick, and he did not walk on water -- he flew.
Actually, Isis was the one who resurrected Osiris. Horus was the one who avenged him.
14. Horus was buried and resurrected in Anu. Jesus was buried and resurrected in Bethlehem.
15. Horus came back to life after three days. Jesus came back to life after three days.
16. The resurrection of Horus was announced by three women. The resurrection of Jesus was announced by three women.
Not only was Horus never crucified, Horus never died at all.
17. Horus was called the anointed one. Jesus was called the anointed one.
This simply isn't true.
The truth is that these claims did not exist until the 19th and 20th centuries. These Egyptian mythological similarities to Jesus did not exist until around the 20th century.
And with that being the case, any one of us could list the facts concerning Jesus' life, or any aspect of the Christian faith, and write or rewrite history to mirror those facts.
So was Jesus a copy of Horus, since the similarities were neither written nor conceived until more than a thousand years after his birth?
There are countless other such claims such as one which states that Noah and the flood are a copy of Gilgamesh, which dates around 2300 B.C. while Noah dates around 780 B.C. Of course these dates are completely wrong. In fact, some have placed the great flood around 2300 B.C. as well, if not a few years earlier.
Any two related historical events or mythologies or a combination of history and mythology can be explored and comparisons either found or fabricated. To swallow the resulting nonsense is naive. I hope and pray that no one here will fall to that trick, and if you already have, I pray that today your eyes will be opened to this trick of the enemy.
Why was ancient Egyptian mythology modified in the 19th and 20th centries? Why have similar myths and distortions arisen time and time again? If what we believe is false, and therefore unpolluted history and unaltered fact could substantially discredit what we believe, why would anyone need to fabricate arguments or quote such fabrications?
The fact of the matter is that we believe what we wish to believe, and with a bit of looking, we can disprove whatever we choose.
We can provide compelling arguments that the Holocaust never took place, despite the countless living and recently deceased survivors, as well as other evidence. And there are people who believe these claims to be true, and therefore believe the Holocaust is a hoax.
The same goes for whether the United States really landed on the moon. Or whether the 9/11 attack on the trade center was a terrorist attack or a government-orchistrated plot.
Instead of getting caught up in the desperate attempts of others to prove, first to themselves and then to others, that Jesus was total fiction, or that history was inflated, or even that he did not rise bodily from the dead, perhaps we can pray for them instead.
If God is not real and if Jesus is not his Son, then asking him to do something is just a waste of time, just like most of the other things we do with our free time.
If, on the other hand, God is truly God and Jesus is who the Bible claims he is, then those who speak against that truth are in a miserable place indeed, and their only glimmer of hope is that the Holy Spirit will break through and reveal Jesus to them, and that they, like Paul who was killing Christians until Jesus appeared to him in glory and power, will fall on their faces and ask, "Lord, who are you? And what do you want me to do?"
All these things are a question of time. How much time has passed -- billions of years, or only thousands? What has happened during the time that has passed? How much longer will time last as we know it?
Time is like the waves that wash across the sand, bringing change.
Time is like the colors that paint the horizon during a million glorious sunsets.
Time is like the blowing of the wind that causes the trees to gracefully dance.
Time is like the babbling brook that caresses the stones as it gently flows by.
Generations come and go. Kingdoms rise and fall. Great lives are lived, soon to be but a memory.
Your tombstone will soon be engraved with the year of your birth and the year of your death, separated by only a dash. Your whole life is nothing more than that dash.
Every tomorrow will be some days yesterday, and every today will co-create some days tomorrow.
You cannot stop or slow the hands of time. You will live, and you will die. You did not choose your time to be born, and your time to die may come when you least expect.
The only time you have is this very moment. Each moment you live is a gift from God. Each breath you breathe is proof of his love for you and his mercy toward you.
Regardless of your sin and pride, your selfishness and self-centeredness, your complacency and the hardness of your heart, God never ceases to demonstrate his unending love for you.
Just as the present moment joins with eternity, so the love of God is eternal. It never waxes or wanes. It does not depend on what we have done, or how perfect or flawed we may now be.
It was in our time of greatest depravity that God demonstrated his love for us in the most extravagant way.
"But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
When Jesus bore your sins upon the cross, that one moment in time reached out and touched every single moment of time from the creation of the heavens and the earth, to the very last trumpet blast.
Jesus' time of suffering is not some event in the past. It is a moment of eternity. It flows into this present moment, which touches eternity, and is there for you, upon which you can lay your sins and worries and cares.
That blood sacrifice, that sacrifice of love, covers all of time, and it covers all sin. There is nothing you have done that is too bad. There is no sin youve committed that is too great. There is no problem or worry that is too small.
Jesus did not pay for some of your sin, or even for most of it. He paid for ALL of your sin, and offers to you his righteousness in exchange.
The choices you make today can cast their light or their shadow upon your tomorrows and the tomorrows of others.
Be careful what you say, for some words can never be taken back, and they speak themselves over and over again.
Be careful what you do, for some actions can never be undone, and they can damage relationships and change futures and destinies.
And be careful what you believe and who you follow, for the gate is small and road is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who follow it.
We seem to forget about tomorrow when we speak or when we make choices. We seem to forget that what we say cannot be unsaid, and what we do often cannot be undone.
In our limited vision and understanding, we cause friendships to die, love to grow cold, and lead others down wrong paths which lead to spiritual death and destruction.
And yet in spite of our human imperfection, and all the damage we do, Jesus lived every single present moment of his life on earth knowing full well the impact his every thought, word, and action would have on your present moment right now.
He knew he would be a stone that makes men stumble, and a rock of offense. He knew he would be hated, rejected, and despised, and that those who pick up their cross and follow him to eternal life would suffer the same.
He knew that his life would divide families, and separate closest friends.
He knew that his death would cause doubt, confusion, and the spread of fables and lies.
He knew that his resurrection would cause amazement, faith, transformation, martyrdom, persecution, and war.
He knew that his ascension would cause a battle of beliefs that would last until the end of time.
We dont fully know and cannot fully see, by ourselves, what effects our actions and words will have on others and on ourselves. Only God knows. And if we trust in the work he has done for us, and rest in the mercy and love he demonstrated so perfectly and completely toward us, he will lead and guide us every step of the way. And he will give you wisdom for your journey called today.
One statement I've made in arguments against the validity of Scripture that always gets ignored or a feeble response at best, is "I cannot prove to you in a way that will convince you that Jesus is who the Bible says he is, that he is the only way to the God who created the heavens and the earth, and there is a literal, eternal heaven and hell and only by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior can you escape the latter and anticipate the former; but if you are really open to the truth and not just trying to hide from the possibility that everything I'm saying is true, then just ask Jesus to reveal himself to you. If he's not real, or if he's dead, you won't have hurt anyone or anything by trying. But if he's alive, and if what he's said is true, then you owe it to yourself to open your eyes, ears, and heart, and give him the chance to prove himself to you."
And this is what I'm asking you here today. If you have any doubts, or if you flat out believe that Jesus was only a good man, or only a prophet, or an angel, or a myth, then I ask you today if you have the courage, the guts, the honesty to open your mind and soul to the possibility that you just might be mistaken.
During a time in my life in which I was lost in new age deception, I believed I had found the truth. And in that state of deception, I prayed to God every day, "Let your wind blow over me, and change me." And I meant it. To me, that change could include actions, attitudes, and beliefs. That change could include anything in my life or any part of who I am.
And he answered. It was not the next day after the first time I asked. It was not the next week or the next month. And if I had been in doubt of the reality of a living, all-powerful Jesus as God of the universe and the ultimate authority, he would have revealed the truth to me just as he led me out of my deception.
If, on the other hand, I had quit after a day or a week or a month or a year and said, "Well, that settles it, he's dead after all," then I would not be here today. And with 20-20 hind sight, I see now that my life would be an absolute disaster.
Finding the truth requires that you accept the fact you don't already posess all truth, and being turned from errors you currently have requires that you accept the fact that you could possibly be mistaken.
So if you have the courage to face the truth, then I challenge you to ask God to reveal it to you. Whether or not you believe in God, whether or not you believe in Jesus, and whether or not you believe he can or will hear or answer you, be intellectually honest enough to admit you are not infallible and could be mistaken, and on the chance that what you may have ridiculed just might be true after all, talk to him right now.
You can use your own words, or repeat after me, but open your mind and your heart to truth, whatever that might be, and engage your heart to mean these words.
Say this: "Jesus, if you are real and if you are alive, reveal yourself to me. I don't want to believe whatever makes the most comfortable, or what eases my fear of the truth; I want to believe what is factual, and I want to know what is true. So if you are alive, if there is a God and you are him, if I am sinful and headed for a miserable eternity without you -- the source of comfort and joy, if I desperately need a savior to save me from my sins, and if you really love me enough to die in my place, then show yourself to me. Let me know you are alive. Let me know you love me. And help me recognize your words when you answer me, however they may come. I'll be watching and waiting for an answer."
And if you're not too afraid, or if the power of your will is greater than fear of the truth, then I challenge you to tell this to Jesus every day. It doesn't have to be some elaborate or religious ritual, just a few words, "If you're real, show me. I'm open to believing whatever is true."
I'd like for the altar workers to come stand at the front now.
And for those of you who are ready to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then pray this prayer with me. Say, "Jesus, come into my heart. Forgive me for my sins. Wash them away. Make me a brand new creation. Give me a brand new start. Give me true life. And be the Lord of my life. Amen."
If you have drifted away from your relationship with Jesus, then pray this prayer with me. "Lord, I have not been where I should be in you. I ask you to forgive me, and restore me. Renew my first love for you. Pour out the oil of your Holy Spirit into me, and cause me to burn with holy passion for you. Bring me closer to you than I've ever been. And I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."
This altar is open for prayer and ministry. If you just accepted Jesus, or if you would like someone to pray or minister with you, please instant message someone on the ministry team. Feel free to come out of your seats and come stand or kneel at the front.
When your time of ministry is finished, you're invited to make your way to the room on your left for a time of fellowship.

A mispronunciation of the word "skunk" with an equivalent meaning. Its first known use was at the Santa Clause Parade in Toronto around 1990 when a youngster's speech habits generated much lulz.

The Chicago Fur Outlet has been on the city's North Side for nearly 30 years. Back in the day, it was the spot to buy, sell or store your fur coat.
Now, the State's Attorney's Office has posted a "closed" sign on the door, leaving people wondering what they have to do to get their coats back.
"I was calling and I kept getting this funny busy signal and I'm thinking, I haven't heard that in a long time. Is it off the hook? What is it?" Dawn Hendon says.
Dawn Hendon got no answer because there's not much left of the Chicago Fur Outlet--no furs, no racks and nobody around to help customers find their furs.
The "furry godmother" worked her magic for decades on the corner of Halsted and Diversey, but the current owner, named in a lawsuit filed by the State's Attorney's Office last April, closed the store in August. He's being sued for unfair or deceptive practices.
The Consumer Fraud Unit received a number of calls from people, who wanted to sell their furs on consignment at the store.
The lawsuit claims the current owner sold the furs, but never forked over the funds.
Hendon says she didn't know what was going on when she paid the $55 storage fee in June. She's smiling and profiling now because after a week of calls, she got a mink back.
"Leather Rich and Without A Trace have been great because Without A Trace has a lot of the coats. They do, so ladies and gentlemen you may be able to reclaim your coats," Hendon says.
Some of those furs can be dropped off at the Without A Trace store in the Gold Coast. If you have your claim number and proper identification, employees are working with the owner of the Chicago Fur Outlet and the State's Attorney's Office to make sure you get your coat back.
The only catch: there's another $50 fee.
"They're in good hands and as far as I know," Brad Goliber, who works at Without A Trace, says. "Everything is in a vault and being stored they're being taken care of properly."
FOX 32's Darlene Hill spoke with an attorney in the State's Attorney's Office who says they just found more fur coats---some of them in storage; others on consignment. Those coats will be at one of those facilities.
For more information, contact the State's Attorney's Office.

The juniors department
Yes, this is another post about a suit. I just really love suits, okay?
Most of the time, if I see a juniors label in a piece of vintage clothing, I can pretty much be guaranteed that it's not going to fit my bust without even trying it on. Let's face it: I'm shapely.
I'm also short. So I am very glad that, when I found this suit for $20 at the Melrose flea market a couple years ago, I didn't bother looking at the label on the inside of the jacket.
Because, damn. This thing fits extremely well.

Form Cycles, based in Cave Creek, Arizona, branded its first bike just three years ago, but its founding members boast a lifetime of frame fabrication experience. Daryl Roberts, Sam Davis, and Shawn Morra all come from aerospace backgrounds, but more recently worked together at Titus, where Roberts ran the custom program. "There were things I felt we could offer that nobody else was doing," says Roberts. For our test, Form built a Revel out of Columbus XCR stainless steel. (The company also builds in ti and other types of steel.) Form chose the material for what it feels is a better balance of performance characteristics for road-specific bikes than regular steel or ti. In my experience, this did indeed prove to be the case.—Ron Koch

ZVex Effects Hand Painted Box of Rock Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal

The Vexter Box of Rock is a silkscreened version of ZVex's first distortion pedal, highly specialized to simulate the "everything on 10" sound of a classic Marshall amplifier. Use your guitar's volume control to adjust the amount of distortion you need, all the way down to very clean and clear with most drive settings. The Vexter Box of Rock has one "Distortron Engine" stomp switch—that's no typo, but what Mr. Vex himself calls his unique distortion circuit. The Box of Rock also contains an extremely high-headroom, unity-to-50X gain booster with nominal input impedance and low hiss. Use the Box of Rock's boost channel alone or with the "distortron engine" channel to really crank this thing to 11. The boost channel follows the distortion channel which will allow your distortion to hit your amp harder when both boost and distortion are engaged for incredible solo boosting.
