It started as an independent manufacturer, but was acquired by Lyon & Healy at some point prior to 1908. Later both Regal and the L&H Washburn brands were bought by the Tonk Bros. distribution firm. At the time this guitar was made, Regal was a brand name of the Harmony Company.

This library provides two modules, methods and multi-methods.
multi-methods are simplified variants of generic functions, while methods are procedures, whose pre- and postconditions are checked.
Both methods and multi-methods are procedures with state, i.e. closures. They are invoked like ordinary procedures, but that results in checking the arguments against predicates in the respective states and invoking the matching procedure, stored in the state as well. The state of a method consists of a list of procedures, the state of a multi-method of a tree of procedures, which makes searching of the multi-methods action comparatively fast.
Contrary to other implementations of generic functions, the state is accessible by the client. Hence the client has control over the place, where a method is to be inserted. This way there is no need to supply type hierarchies: Since more specific procedures are to be inserted before less specific ones, the former are found first.
Since trees of procedures are not really readable by humans, all of them are tagged by name symbols, using the lolevel extend-procedure routine.
These symbols are compared against optional keys in the multi-method-insert! routine. No key means: insert at the end, and a key matching a symbol in the top level of tree: insert before the key, if that key doesn't also match the symbol of the method to be inserted, otherwise step down in the tree and recur.
Note, that methods can be used for two purposes: First they can be inserted into a multi-method at the proper place, second they can be called directly providing some sort of design by contract. This is because preconditions are automatically checked and postconditions can be checked by using the car of the proc-list, a wrapper around the actual procedure to be applied. This wrapper is one of the effect-checkers, which accepts a procedure and returns that very procedure after having the procedure's effects checked. But since postcondition checks might be expensive, the application of it can be controlled by the parameter effects-checked?
The module methods
methods[procedure] (methods)
documentation procedure. Shows list of exported symbols. Pre- and post-conditions of a method can be ispected with method-assumptions and method-effects.
method[syntax] (method [variadic?] (proc-name proc effect-checker) (arg-name pred . preds) ...)
constructor. proc ist the actual procedure to be performed, effect-checker one of no-checker, query-checker or command-checker, pred and preds are predicates to check the procedure's arguments in sequence, variadic? is a boolean which defaults to #f
method?[procedure] (method? xpr)
type predicate
method-variadic?[procedure] (method-variadic? meth)
is the method variadic?
method-arity[procedure] (method-arity meth)
returns the arity of its method argument.
method-name[procedure] (method-name meth)
returns the name of its method argument.
method-assumptions[procedure] (method-assumptions meth)
returns the list of names of its method argument's predicates.
method-effects[procedure] (method-effects meth)
returns the list of docs stored in the effect-checkers.
no-checker[procedure] (no-checker doc . docs)
returns a procedure, which returns its only procedure argument unchecked. The docs describe the procedure's effects.
command-checker[procedure] (command-checker check doc . docs)
returns a procedure, which checks the side-effects of its only argument, a command, by means of check, returning command after having checked the side-effects. check is a procedures of the same arguments as command returning an even number of values, of type query and compare. The first is the result of calling the query, which accompanies the command (consider the pair car and set-car! for example), the second a comparison routine which compares the result of the query-call before and after the command-call. The docs describe the procedure's effects and are used for error-messages.
query-checker[procedure] (query-checker check doc . docs)
returns a procedure, which checks the returned values of its only argument, a query, by means of check, a procedure of the same arguments as query returning a predicate on the query's returned values. The docs describe the procedure's effects and are used for error-messages.
effects-checked?[parameter] (effects-checked? [boolean])
gets or sets a parameter. Without being set no effect checks are performed.
The module multi-methods
multi-methods[procedure] (multi-methods)
documentation procedure. Prints the sorted list of exported symbols.
multi-method[syntax] (multi-method var . vars)
constructor. Creates an empty multi-method, whose variadicity is determined by the first insert.
multi-method?[procedure] (multi-method? xpr)
type predicate.
multi-method-empty?[procedure] (multi-method-empty? multi)
is the multi-method argument empty?
multi-method-variadic?[procedure] (multi-method-variadic? multi)
is the multi-method argument variadic?
multi-method-arity[procedure] (multi-method-arity multi)
returns the arity ot its multi-method argument.
multi-method-keys[procedure] (multi-method-keys multi key ...)
returs the list of predicate names for checking nth argument, fullfilling key0 ... key(- n 1)
multi-method-insert![procedure] (multi-method-insert! multi meth key ...)
updates multi's proc-tree at the appropriate argument level. For example, if no key (or a non-existent key) is given, meth is iserted at the very end. If one key is given, meth is inserted before that very key, provided, that key doesn't match multi's and meth's first predicate name. In that latter case, one recurs with appropriate subtrees.

In light of the jury verdict in Apple vs. Samsung, the one-liners and jokes flew back and forth. One in particular, by Dan Frakes, has been copied and pasted all over the web, and it goes like this: "When the iPhone debuted, it was widely criticized for having no buttons/keys. Now people think the iPhone's design is 'obvious'." This is a very common trend in this entire debate that saddens me to no end: the iPhone is being compared to simple feature phones, while in fact, it should be compared to its true predecessor: the PDA. PDAs have always done with few buttons.

Let's Go Aero (LGA) has entered into a strategic partnership with Mishawaka, Ind.-based Welded Products to produce its line of LittleGiant utility and camping trailers.
LGA, based in Colorado Springs, Colo., is a supplier of innovative outdoor lifestyle products to the RV and automotive industries. According to a press release, the partnership will focus on collaborative opportunities to position LGA's LittleGiant and related technologies for growth in the trailer and RV markets both domestically and internationally.
As part of the partnership, Welded Products will incorporate LGA's StemCell technology, allowing for compact shipping and easy assembly of large format enclosures like trailers and shipping crates. The LittleGiant "BoxTruss" structure is patented for both trailer and shipping functions using LGA's patent-pending PinNut design.
"LGA is looking to the future and we see our relationship with Welded Products and their team as a key element of our production and product growth plans into the future," said Marty Williams, president and CEO of Let's Go Aero. "LGA has years of product design and production experience with suppliers and OEMs in the Elkhart area and a good reputation for innovation and excellence. By locating the manufacturing of the kits in the Elkhart area, the product is in the center of its supply base and in the best location for dealer and reseller distribution."
He added, "Our relationship with Welded Products spans two decades of successful production and prototype endeavors. Welded shipped the first LittleGiant Trailer kits to us earlier this month and the quality of fit of the components is excellent."
Kamiel Vandevoorde, general manager of Welded Products, noted, "I am confident that our collaboration is a good opportunity for both companies. LGA is taking bold steps to establish its position as a innovation leader in the industry and we are excited to be a part of their development and growth. In LGA we have a partner that shares our values and commitment to customers and we are excited for the future."
Williams reported that LGA will be exhibiting for the first time at the North American Trailer Dealers Association (NATDA) and Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) national trade shows this year.

Rolling Pop Thread 2013 (?)
Is there one already? If so, delete this pile of poop.
Here are the songs that i think are ace this month (I can't really remember further back than that):
Justin Timberlake - Mirror http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U41KPUfOSFk
Super catchy but its 8 minutes long? wtf. I turn it off after I've had my fill of the song around the 3:30 mark.
Ke$ha - Die Young http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOubzHCUt48
Its well good and I don't care what anyone says about the abomination that is Ke$ha.
Bastille - Pompeii (or is it the other way round?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F90Cw4l-8NY - more like indie or something isn't it? Still good.
PLEASE recommend some more. There were some ace ones in the thread last year.
(I hate the music forum - its scary)
Not to be contrary, but none of those are good
Bastille are like some sort of indie YMA6, Mirror is really limp sounding (wish Timbaland would either fuck off or at least stop using crappy acoustic guitar sounds), Kesha is Kesha.
I actually think this year has been pretty shit for pop music so far. I actually quite like the chorus to the Little Mix single. That's quite worrying.
Get out of my thread if you're going to have a different opinion to me.
Do you have any examples of a relatively good pop song from the year so far?
Not really proper mainstream pop apart from that Little Mix tune
AlunaGeorge and Chvrches are basically pop music, they're both really great. But probably not right for this thread.
The new Olly Murs tune that sounds like Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret is alright. Actually it's not really is it. I just like Olly Murs despite disliking his music.
Never heard of this Chvrches thing
I don't get the Olly Murs hate. Yes he is a tosser in a tribly but Troublemaker was a great song (and fun fact - apprently him and FLO RIDA have never met despite being on a song together)
Scottish electronic pop stuff
I went to see the Graham Norton show being filmed the other day and really enjoyed Olly Murs' performance. Would happily sit through a full set. But would never listen to his music in any other setting I guess. He comes across as a top bloke though, that was still the best season of X Factor. Stacey <3
Listening to that song now
Sounds good, I will check out more.
I'd only really listen to Olly Murs when I'm working out. I find pop music has a better pace and is more upbeat than some other stuff I'd listen to otherwise.
:D well played
We were all young once, Shippers.
Still don't understand Justin Timberlake. So boring.
Not much good around so far this year, every time I turn on music telly then it's that fucking Will.i.am and Britney song.robluvsnic and umlaut_ampersand this'd this
Oh shit, didn't read your initial post
Yes, Die Young by Kesha is smashing. Think there was a thread about it.
That song is so awkward
They're trying to fit words into a space that doesn't fit so its a struggle to sing along with it.
That new Girls Aloud song has really grown on me despite not really liking it much on the first few listens.
It's not helped by Britney's absolute wtf British (?!) accent
Also not helped by being the worst song of all time.
Harlem Shake was fun for about 10 seconds
I have listened to it once but its not for me.
Its fun yeah
was about in lots of clubs middle of last year and also fun for about 10 seconds, kinda went away and the next thing I knew it was a legit pop hit and internet meme. I like it when tracks like that get in the charts its a nice change really, kinda like when Mr Oizo did it.incandenza_ this'd this
The song/video that popularized the dance still sounds as awesome as ever
we did a version of that at work the other day
great bants
People in work wanted us to do one
I was like
There's approximately 150,000,000+ other threads
for you to check out on DiS.
Oh God...
People like different genres of music - SHOCKING.andyvine, ma0sm, Antelope, JaguarPirate, and a_man_ate_my_hand this'd this
I haven't actually
I got caught up in Taylor Swift's RED for a bit. Is it any good? I thought she might just be a one hit wonder!
I love it, all of it. Well, except that one with the Owl City guy.
Bubblegum done right.
Tonight Im Getting Over You just got a video. Kinda Max Martin by numbers but its still a massive song.
Get the iTunes edition, has five extra songs that are all good too.
MS MR - Fantasy
Young Galaxy - Fall For You
Charli XCX - You (Ha Ha Ha) [Melé Remix]
Oliver - Mechanical (for Drive soundtrack's fans)
Woodkid - I Love You
I heard MS MR do a cover of LCD's Dance Yrself Clean
was pretty good.
Have otherwise heard nothing by them.
my 2012 version was the same
series of bedwetting posts and then people posting indie tracks under the assumption melody = pop.
Like these guys?
H?SHTAG$ - Don't Call It #BlogPop
TBF AlunaGeorge and Katy B are pop now.
I guess we've never talked about Locked out of Heaven on here
I really like it.Royter-Hatfood, PinkyBrain, and TheBeautifulOnes_ this'd this
I found out about this song when he performed on some new years eve tv show
then I got hooked on it.
I can't describe what I like about it but its got something to do with that little sound that sounds a bit like a chirping bird.
Not the woof bit
the bit before the woof bit
uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh WOOF
That new Nelly song Hey Porsche.
really weird to hear him doing just straight up pop, no rap verse at all.
Nick Grimshaw played this on the radio this morning and he was like, coming up we've got that awful new Nelly song. His producer asked him not to call it awful and he went but it is awful, and the producer man was like yeah but it's awful in a Flo Rida kind of way. MADE ME LAUGH
No, it sounds like Rebecca Black ffs
Genuinely terrible.
I remembered I quite like that new Taylor Swift one, I Knew You Were Trouble. Until the dubstep wubs come in that is.
Psssh, sounds nothing like Rebecca Black!
I Knew You Were Trouble is good, even when the 'dubstep' part comes in. The whole album is pretty good actually. Some fillers that sound very classic Taylor Swift but other thats are new and catchy.JaguarPirate this'd this
Was this you, meo?
"i don't care if people don't like it! BUT THIS SONG AND NICOLE MADE MY DAY! lyrics are amazing, and her voice is strong and powerful that makes me think that i'm perfect! SO I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING! so bitches! stop hating! NICOLE IS THE BEST AND BECAUSE OF HER I LOVE MUSIC! she knows how to be sexy and how to be the best! i don't know why we don't hear her music here in USA, I REALLY LOVE HER! LOVE U NICOLE! keep doing your music! This song and Try with? me are the best! u got everything!"
It's ok but I've never bought into Nicole really.
That beat is basic af though. Hook is pretty good.
Ha bmr this is NOTHING like rebecca black you crazy.
New Taylor Swift video makes me find her really annoying
They are her real friends. Do you think they did this video to prove she's not a bitch who hates other bitches?
I've already started the Taylor Swift backlash
She's a tit.
is that the macklemore douche on the bike with her at the end?
man she never shuts up about hipsters and cool kids, major issues there.
I don't like Chipmunk and Wiley is more funny than talented
but this is actually good:
His pop stuff has been kinda fun of late
He is mega funny always has been with lines like 'I'm a street star / There's no set time I have my tea at' in the middle of grime tracks.
that tune makes me utterly miserable
wiley gets a pass for life for shit like eskimo 2/ice rink tho
and for being wiley obvzjimitheexploder and badmanreturns this'd this
eugh. This shit is horrible.
Thing is Wiley can make really great pop tunes but they never seem to do as well as his terrible ones. If there's any justice If You're Going Out, I'm Going Out Too would have been a number 1:
Also the original of Never Be Your Woman is still incredible, so much better than the Shy FX version that got released as a single, though I like that too.
- Royter-Hatfood and JaguarPirate this'd this
straight up love that one
got some strange looks when I went round singing ON MY BODY, ON MY BODY, PUT YOUR HANDS UP ON MY BODY tho
MSK (og sugababes) on Kendrick's 'Swimming Pools'
on a constant hype that these three are back together (and working with dev blood orange is a SIQ bonus too). their voices are just so dope and they work together so damn well. first listen i wasn't too keen on the chorus cos i'm so used to how good swimming pools is but it's grown on me really quick. verses are absolutely spot on from the top tho, love the harmonies towards the end.
i shat the bed when they sang the actual chorus from swimming pools at the end too. it's so bloody uplifting.
The original was actually one of my least favorite songs on the
album but in the last few weeks I have really grown to love it.
This version sounds nice. That last bit was the best part.JaguarPirate this'd this
that's so cool
i had no idea they got together againpichaelmarker this'd this
This is really really great. Been so hyped to hear what they come up with since I heard they were back together then they come with this. Killed it.
Maybe i'll go listen to the first Sugarbabes album AGAIN.meowington and JaguarPirate this'd this
Cool this.
This sounded awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Kiki7sofCUg
But then this, not so much: https://soundcloud.com/popjustice/mutya-keisha-siobhan-boys
(Also, who uploads a 3 second clip?!)
This is good, I like the chants.
The Guetta drops are kind of unfortunate.
It hits all the standard requirements for a floor-filler
but the lead vocal and the chants are just great. Monkey and typewriters I guess, but still a class song.
Best song of the year ayooooo
Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines ft TI & Pharrell
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyDUC1LUXSUgeorgiabeth this'd this
i don't think robin thicke is as cool as he thinks he is
but it's a good song
and pharrell in the video :D
according to the video
I love when pharrell points at the sheep
And the song
It's much better if you play it in a background tab.
No one wants to see a white, middle-aged plumber trying to be Prince, do they?CrispinAlexander and badmanreturns this'd this
semi this
except then you'd miss pharrell being amazing
Thicke has been doing this stuff for years!
I love his schtick, so slinky. Love when he teams up with Pharrell. So many great songs in his back catalog, too.
Viewing this eight months on has made my weekend.
"a white, middle-aged plumber" :D
- urbanfox and 8stepstoperfection this'd this
I never thought I'd ever say this, but I quite enjoyed the new Ke$ha album
my friend tends to put it on when I go around. That song that mentions her "golden trans-am" gets stuck in my head.
My friends have a video of me dancing on a table in a club to Tik-Tok when it first came out. I hated her with a passion when that song first came out so they black-mail me every now and then by threatening to upload it to the internet.
I know it's not really new pop, but I've been listening to a lot of old school Robbie Williams lately. I think he's underrated.
am I allowed to like that Macklemore song?
it's annoying, like some meme song my nephew would like (he does like it, that's how I heard it), but the guy who raps is a competent rapper and not totally loathsome, and it's not just generic club lyrics.
hey, that Disclosure ft. Alunageorge tune in the top ten, ace. actual good pop. well, it's vocal housey bass music, but it's undisputably pop, right?
Thrift Store is a novelty song.
It's kinda lightweight fun but pretty obnoxious after a few listens.
can't escape it
and i want to punch his stupid frat face
Yeah I feel you.
most pop these days and the people who made it makes me well angry
this one bypassed my dickhead filter.
wouldn't seek it out, but it's alright really.
The charts are full of crap, it's true.
Nothing to get angry about, though.
The worst chart movement at the mo is the Mumford/Lumineers/ofMice&Men stuff, save your ire for that dook.
I'd take http://youtu.be/LPgvNlrBfb0 over any of that any time.
don't know who 2/3 of those are, pal
I wouldn't say anything makes me angry anymore. I'm too weary to get mad at anything.
think the worst pop song I've heard in recent times was some unbearable man/woman smugathon of a young adult contemporary '''love''' song about two irredeemably dull people, two corresponding bodies with insipid voices urging each other let them see beneath their beautiful/perfect, presumably blandish each other's clothes off.
he can't even just be a meme rapper
also tries his hand at rapping about SRS ISSUES.
fucking love this shitty kiddy r&b song for 12 year old twitter trolls
THE WAY by Ariana Grande
white boy rapping can go away though.
heard 'Scream & Shout' not wasted in a club for the first time a couple of days ago. sooo bad.
haha she is totally aping Mariah Carey with her tone/cadence!
Everything about this is 90s Mariah.
I like it though, minus Mac Miller though obv.CrispinAlexander this'd this
fuck that bit before the chorus kicks in is shit hot
with the handclaps
ok i love this
This is ridiculously good
Little Mix - How Ya Doin' ft. Missy Elliott
http://youtu.be/ma-7dTArDtQgeorgiabeth this'd this
Great song
Too many "sassy" faces in the video.
This is my favourite pop song of the year, I think.
A band called Bells Atlas, reminds me of tune-yards a little bit. So perfect.
stop it
Actually this.
"show me the wayyyyyyy to your hiding place"
Lulu James 'Closer'
Jessie Ware / Katy B - core but about 50 times more stylish. it is absolutely amazing
Annie – Tube Stops and Lonely Hearts
sounds a bit uk funky
really good
queen namie: hands on me (ft. TLC in video if not in sound)
kyary: invader invader
That first one is loads of fun.
There's like four parts to it
charli XCX - take my hand
i know it's a bit old and everything but that chorus is about as good as it gets.
Replying to an old post, yeah but
Still can't make up my mind about the Charli XCX album. Cracking singles from it, but it still makes me cringe a little when she starts rapping.
Is she just making fun of Rihanna?
I did not quite understand the purpose of this video.
:( Mike Will
Hope he made a huge chunk of cash off it at least.
This song/video makes me feel nauseous
not sure if that was the desired effect.
Ciara album has some jams
Overdose SHOULD be a huge single but probably wont be
Where You Go (w Future)
And the I'm Out (f Nicki) video will be out soon
But the other Nicki featured song on there should be a single too
quite happy with this album
dazed and confused had a stream and i played that about 50 times the week before it came out
oh shit
Overdose is hot as fuck
We all like the new Annie video, yes?
(It might not make sense to those from outside the UK though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veqFCCbyrX8
Also, I saw MKS tonight. It was AMAZING. The crowd went pretty nuts when Siobhan sung Heidi's bit in Stronger.
selena gomez's new album is pretty decent tbf
nothing will top 'kiss and tell' for me but it's great to see her having some success with this album.
also, miley cyrus has named her new album BANGERZ.
BANGERZ. jfc.
- 8stepstoperfection this'd this
me too
she comes across really well and has some insanely catchy songs
- Playhouse this'd this
- badmanreturns, TheBeautifulOnes_, and georgiabeth this'd this
I'm unsure about it
I want to like it cause I love KP but it's not great. The album is 60% crap too.
The only tracks that i liked on her album were:
Choose Your Battles
International Smile
The rest is so weak & boring. And even these best tracks are so far from the best of what she did in the past.
VV Brown - The Apple
Now THIS should have been Lady Gaga's comeback single.
i really like the lady gaga song
best thing she's done since just dance
yeah, i like it too
i heard another track that i thought was the single, called 'aura' or something, and that was terrible... so this is a nice surprise.
wouldn't agree that let's dance was her best song though.
- badmanreturns and harru this'd this
It really is.
The Slash 'november rain' nod is awesome.
That had a lot of people kicking themselves in my office this morning
BearShark is my personal highlight
10 years since this!
saw loads in poundland the other day.
just friends and finest dreams are timeless.
never really liked The Saturdays
but this is genius
Zedd 'Clarity' has really worked its way into my brains.
More for the melodies during the quiet parts
Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to youRoyter-Hatfood this'd this
I've been listening to Flatline constantly since it came out.
Can't wait for the album.
this is so gleeful in a really weird way
I love it
A little too much vocoder/autotune in parts,
but it's ace hectoring.
And another,

How did this not get to Number 1 last week?!
can I post in here about how much I like that Angel Haze tune?
'Echelon', I think.
I mean, she's an ace rapper, but the track goes straight for the pop centre of teh brain.
Say Lou Lou have currently got me
Proper lovely Swedish electro pop with silky smooth vocals. That sort of dark happiness that only the Scandinavians can get right. The new single (and it's b-side which is even better) are absolutely stunning!
They also did a properly great Tame Impala cover a while back
new katy perry and gaga albums are both disappointing
BUT they do have a few solid tracks.
cannot stop myself from joyously dancing to birthday from the perry album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xswPbnFVeaU
also sexxx dreams from artpop is brilliant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU3i8Tn1cvQ
nb. those are both dodgy sounding versions of the songs, like pitched slightly different to get past copyright or something?

WEST LEBANON, NH -- Mitt Romney emerged from debate rehearsals in Vermont today to pick up some pizzas, and to deliver his own analysis of the first night of the Democratic National Convention, which he said could not make the claim Americans were better off after President Obama's first term.
"You've heard no one stand up and say that people are better off than they were four years ago," Romney told reporters traveling with him as he picked up several extra large pies at a pizza joint here. "They really can't say that. They can't say it in all honesty. Particularly with the news that has come out this week."
Wednesday: David Gregory previews tonight's speech by Former President Bill Clinton at this week's Democratic Convention in Charlotte.
"That news: The national debt tripping $16 trillion dollars for the first time, and the number of Americans receiving food stamps topping 47 million, up 15 million from when President Obama took office," Romney said.
Recommended: Ryan tries to draw wedge between Clinton, Obama
"The American people are not doing better and this president understands that and I think that's why people are reluctant to even talk about it because they know the American people know better," Romney said, echoing his campaign's latest line of attack against the Obama administration, after several top Obama advisers fumbled the "are we better off" question on last Sunday's talk-show circuit.
The comments to reporters marked Romney's emergence from a day of strenuous debate preparation at the secluded Vermont estate of his former Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey. Romney and a small coterie of aides gathered at the house yesterday morning for a series of mock debates with Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who is playing the role of President Obama for Romney.
"I'm just glad I won't be debating ... Rob Portman in the final debates," Romney said. "He's good."
Slideshow: Democratic National Convention
Here in the mountains, with limited cell phone and Internet service, Romney said he did not watch Michelle Obama's address to the Democratic convention in Charlotte last night, and that regardless he only had praise for the first lady.
"I didn't see her speech, but I certainly respect the first lady and think she's, she's done a fine job as our first lady," Romney said. "Lovely person and I respect her."

If you are interested in purchasing a Bacanlia Bacchus Festival Wall Statue you can call the office or fill out an order form for more information.
The bacchanalia were mystic festivals for the greek and roman god Bacchus. In modern times these festivals are known as any festival that is any form of a drunken revelry.
We have many styles of these festivals. Some styles include exposed woman for erotic art lovers. Some of our sculptures include woman andman playing instruments. Of course, these festival statues show enormous amounts of food and even sometimes drinking. But if you would like a different style we also offer custom designs for extreme art lovers.
When purchasing a custom piece of art we can carve it in any style, color, material, and design. If you are itnerested in this please have a picture or drawing ready for analysis in price and time. Some other materials that you might be interested in are marble, wood, and any metal you like. Professional installation is also available.
There are many materials that you can have your Bacanlia Bacchus festival art. If you like we can create this in any metal. Usually, the Bacanlia Baccchus ismade of bronze. We also offer to our customers the chance to be able to purchase a less expensive metal and we can imitate bronze. We can also imitate any other type of metal.
If you are interested in the Bacanlia Bacchus Festival then you might also like the wall mural painting, stylistic half draped nude wall art, and the male and femal bed wall sculpture. If you are still not satisfied with these fine arts then we recommend that you also take a look at our marble statues. We also have a comprehensive list of wood carvings that you might like.
Tribal tattoos have gained a new level of popularity over the years. Several of our erotic sculptures are of female and male wall statues painted with intense artistic tribal tattoo designs. The first female sculpture stands erect as she touches her upper thighs lightly with her hands at her side and her back is painted with tribal tattoo designs in a diamond shape. This female wall relief sculpture is also painted with a tattoo of the Vitruvian Man, centering on her upper back. The Vitruvian Man, based on a well-known drawing by the prestigious artist Leonardo da Vinci, depicts the male form in two simultaneous positions: one with his arms and legs stretched outwards closely forming an "X" shape and the other in a standing position with legs pointed straight down and arms raised vertically forming a "T". Both body positions overlap encircled and enclosed in both a circle and a square at the same time. Like most erotic art, the Vitruvian man is entirely nude, although it does not allude or suggest the idea of human sexuality, it focuses more on the human geometric proportions of the unclothed man in his natural state. Surrounding the area around the Vitruvian man are tribal art tattoos shaped like a "V" adding a frame in the form of a perimeter to the back tattoo. The bottom pointed end of the tattoo seemingly points in the direction of the female's butt. The right cheek is also painted (rather nicely I might add) with a tribal element as well as the right wrist, where the tattoo worn like a bracelet, and an additional tribal tattoo wrapped around her left bicep - all with enough tribal tattoo style interplays to make it work as a whole coordinated tattooed artwork.
Similar in composition to the very first female relief sculpture mentioned above, the second female tribal art sculpture figure is painted with tattoos on her back that depict two dragons seemingly in perfect opposition, yet of equal size. Dragons are a favorite for tattoos and art because they are such legendary creatures, known for their breathtaking flying power, scaly reptilian hide, massive wing size, and ferocious fire breathing. The relief art sculpture also has complimentary tattoos on her right upper arm, upper right hip, and right butt cheek.
A male relief sculpture goes with this tattooed art sculpture collection. Unlike the other tattooed sculpture artworks, this one is painted with tribal art tattoos on the back portraying an incredibly long dragon. Dragons of this length are a different adaptation of dragon lineage that were known to be more from China and are not the same dragons that are found in European folklore and legends. The Asian style dragons are known as Chinese dragons, or Imperial dragons. Chinese dragons do not have any wings but are able to soar to the skies with a slithering up and down motion, not unlike the movement of a modern roller coaster. Imperial dragons can represent a particular Chinese emperor and were known occasionally to take the human form. The dragon tattoo on the back muscles of the wall sculpture extends across the entire posterior torso dynamically as the man is chained, or tied up, or perhaps he just happens to be holding metal chains with his arms appearing to be bound behind his back for theatrical effect.
We also managed to create another beautiful tattooed wall sculpture; a nude woman figurine, a torso sculpture from her shoulders to her knees, she holds a small candle in her left hand as she uses her other hand over the top to feel the warmth at a distance. The entire frontal region of her body is covered with a Japanese style chest to stomach tattoo art that begins at the top of her breasts and goes all the way down her thighs. This Japanese tattoo wall relief artwork is an illustration of garden flowers engulfed and surrounding by Japanese style ocean waves breaking across her body as if she is wearing a finely embroidered oceanic dress.
Another tattooed sculpture stands apart (different from the rest): A female angel-like figurine with her wings spread. This statue epitomizes the soft and gentle demeanor expected from an angel. Her grey-black wings outstretched are similar in composition to being nailed to the crucifixion cross, like Jesus Christ. She is decorated with cool tattoos, like the other wall sculptures in this series, comprised of tribal decor elements in asymmetrical places on her arms, and symmetrically down each thigh, as well as covering her panty line with a tribal tattoo to replace the need for women's underwear.
The final feminine figurine shows a female sitting down with her back arched forward as she rests her head on one knee, folding her arms around it for support. This crouched woman is also painted with large tribal art tattoos scattered across all the major body areas. Looking closely at her left arm, she had a snake armlet that wraps around it to add mystery.
All of our wall sculpture reproductions you can see in the photographs above are cast in polyresin, painted, and finished by hand. If you would like our team of artists to make a new tattoo sculpture custom designed with a tattoo etching of your choice - just let us know. Our staff of sculptors is ready to help you get the artwork that you've always wanted, but never found the right artist for the job, until now! Whether you see one of the sculptures from our current collection that you like, or you would prefer for us to sculpt a new masterpiece... its entirely up to you.
Our artist has produced a series of gay, or nude, male wall portrait sculptures that are now available for purchase. The art plaque sculptures are well made, fired in terra cotta, with a slight oil conditioning on the surface to give the wall sculpture a proper amount of shading.
All fit male sculptures, whether intentional by an artist or not, exhibit eroticism, even male lust, as well as clear indications of homosexuality, or male curiosity - if you prefer. One of thesculptures stand entirely bare fully exposing himself; he holds a towel that may have recently covered him. There is a distinct feeling that he removed his clothing for everyone's enjoyment, as much as his own, by the look in his face and body posture. This male nude wants to be placed in a home that will appreciate his perfected and luscious body that not only melts your heart, but your soul. Each strappingly fit male wall sculpture has a profound beauty with a wall art sculpting style used exclusively by our artist: a mix of sculpting and "drawing" with clay. As the male model stands before you, there is an exquisite and undeniable display of his "manhood". The wall sculpture's gorgeous and effervescent body grabs your attention with its primal sexual, spiritual, and natural male energy.
Another one of our wall portrait sculptures (also available for purchase) displays the entirety of a man's back completely nude. The wall sculpture is designed to display the art and beauty of a fit man's masculine back, and backside. The male flexes his buttocks intensely as the male model holds bother arms raised over his head adding height to the fading relief composition.
Our other wall portrait sculptures (in this series) depicts two men, recreating seemingly sexual acts of gay male affection. The male nude art exchanges and disperses an intense amount of sexual energy, generating a field of love in the air where ever it is mounted for public or private viewing. Gay love of this sort is stimulating and sensual, as if it is daring you to own in and display it prominently and boldly in your home to express your gay pride. Decorating your wall with such a brilliant gay art piece would be great for your house as well as for all your friends and especially family members to enjoy when they surprise you with an unexpected visit next time. Several of the sculptures have multiple models in them, one of which is positioned behind the other holding, or embracing, the male in front with his hands and arms positioned erotically with the other model. Gay portraits of this type exhibit a rare art style and level of skill that makes an exceptionally attractive sight for fans of erotic male art to behold.
We also stock different wall sculptures than the ones described above; like the one that displays a male model elegantly and sensually laying on a bed sheet. The angles of every part of his body are contoured in a provocatively and sensually charged display. The nude wall portrait sculpture shows the male model seemingly emanating a not entirely unwelcome raw sexual invitation.
The final two gay nude males portray a soft and sensual theme facing each other as their bodies touch in an erotic mutual embrace while looking into each other eyes. Undressed to the fullest, they gaze at each other with passion and an undeniable lustful infatuation for each other. Gay wall sculptures displaying this type of sexual art make great additions to any art collection for those that just adore gay male art. We have several other sculptures of this caliber also available!
If you'd like us to make a wall sculpture similar to these wall relief artworks for display in your home, we can have our artist produce another masterpiece custom made according to your design and artistic tastes. Let us know which option appeals to you and if you have any specific questions for our art department.
Our groups of women exotic portraits must be different than anything else that you have seen. These nude wall arts can be fully exposed or hardly exposed. You are also able to pick from many types of materials that we offer. Coloring and size is also able to customize. If you are interested in purchasing a portrait of a group of women draped art work you can call the office or fill out an order form for more information.
If you would like to purchase a fully custom group of woman portrait please be sure the type of style you like is drawn out or is in a picture. From there we can give you a firm estimate after calculating all factors. When customizing you are able to control the color, size, and style. This can be very beneficial for expert home designers and personal use. Installation is also available if it is needed.
Some styles that we offer for the groups of woman draped portrait are three woman holding hands while in a garden, five women grouped together posing for the portrait, and two women posing exotically. These styles can come in different materials. If you still do not see what you like here we recommend taking a look at our marble statuary. We also have a comprehensive list of wood, limestone, plaster, cement, and hydrostone products. And if you are still not interested in the products we offer, remember, you are also able to create custom statuary or portraits.
If you like the groups of woman draped art sculpting portrait then you might also like the male and female in bed wall sculpture, bacanlia bacchus festival wall statue, stylistic half-draped nude wall art statue, and a custom wall painting for interior or exterior.
A wall sculpture relief can be either exterior or interior. A wall sculpture relief is a three dimensional image along a wall. We have many pre molded wall reliefs, but we can also create a completely custom wall relief. This is great for architects and personal use. The process requires attention to detail and much experience. This is something our company has been doing. We have created custom trophies, marble, wood, and other art works. If you are interested in purchasing a wall sculpture relief you can fill out a form or call the office for more information. Our company specializes in having anything you need to finally build the home or business of your dreams.
We have a wide variety of cast replications. You can create a custom wall sculpture relief in an animal, God, couple, and anything you've imagined for your dream home or business. Smaller wall sculpture reliefs can be patternized like a girl dancing from left to right or a school of fish.
When purchasing a wall sculpture relief it is usually fiberglass. We have many fiberglass molds that we can have created right away. Or, if you would like a custom wall relief we would first need to make a mold. After that is achieved we can install it and have it look like it is three dimensional. Again, if this is something you are interested in you can call the office or fill out an order form below for further information.
In our compilation of sculpture works, we have prepared several male and female wall sculptures in bed together that are in our safe keeping for the moment, until they are displayed in a new home.The first male-female sculpture illustrates the couple in bed together completely relaxed after they have obviously made love, with just one of wall sculptures showing a couple making love in the moment. Unique wall sculptures constructed of bronze, or painted with a bronze finish, will fill your household with a strong and clear symbolic artwork of male and female relationships as a form of art. According to religious history, Adam was created first to reflect God's image, but in order to avoid man's loneliness God created the woman Eve - therefore creating the very first human couple.
Wall sculptures that combine both sexes make dynamic silhouetted displays include the fine details of the rumpled texture of the bedspread against the smoothness of human skin. These amazing sculptures are exceptional erotic collector items with their lucid display of sexuality in bed, between men and women. Handcrafted in bronze metal, or cast as a custom painted reproduction, the developement of your work of art creates a modern ambiance in your space when displayed prominently in your home once he has been finished and delivered. The three different couples in bed wall sculptures are designed to be viewed together as a single compilation, and they can be effectively displayed individually as well, or when can have our wall sculptor make a new sculpture with the face and the body of each person in the sculpture to be based on your choice of characteristics or selection of photographs.
Showcasing the elaborated exhibit of the couple in action, it stands as a blend of sexuality balanced with a highly developed artistic vision. Created from bronze ingots, the unbending folds in the bedding are enhanced by the bronze causing an enchanting distinction to the intricate smooth contours of the male and female figures. With an enthralling allure, the man and woman wall sculptures provide a wonderful central visual focus to any sensual interior decoration scheme in which they are displayed, especially with the addition of artwork track lighting. Each sculpture is made from bronze, or any casting material of your choice... including aluminum, and finished in almost any custom color, texture, or metal patina imaginable.
Blending creative visual effects, our sculptor has produced a fascinating wall sculpture that showcases a capricious pairing of an affectionate series of erotic couples. The man and woman wall art pieces have been difficultly sculpted from scratch and cast in durable bronze, aluminum, or other material of your choosing, and polished to give the couple scuplptures a distinguishing three-dimensional quality despite the fact that they are relief artworks. The entire work is subsequently given a custom patina, or painted with bronze effects and any other faux finishes upon request, to create a fantastic and luminous exterior or interior wall art masterpiece. Each wall sculpture can be hung on almost any type of wall structure with relative ease. In order for the sculpture to mount evenly to the wall, you can use the slots that we have included in the back of each large wall art piece to make mounting your artwork easy. You can request any shape or size of wall sculpture for our staff of sculptors to create for you, but we must know whether it will be displayed indoors or outdoors to make all of the final artwork preparations. Feel free to call, or email, our art department with any questions or ideas you may have regarding our artworks or artists.
Wall relief sculptures made by our team of sculptors have fresh and modern design elements that will certainly accentuate any wall in your home, or business. Our distinctive use of the male body as art is both elegant and at the same time erotic. This nude male wall sculpture hangs on the wall provocatively displaying a slender and fit body frame while holding fresh cut roses in his right hand. Relief sculptures created by our artists and sculptors are very unique and of such a high quality that they seem to be coming out of the wall, as if the wall is a portal from another dimension.
In regards to the art interpretation: His right leg is bent and is raised up high releasing the inhibition of his groin while his left hand pushes down on an invisible platform to maintain his taunting body posture. The facial expression on this particular male sculpture art exudes contentment [and it is almost as if he is] slightly aroused by the look in his eyes. Notice that he is not erect, instead the nude male is resting as he reclines himself backwards on an invisible bed. The body structure of the wall relief looks muscular, conditioned, and very athletic showing near perfect muscularity as well as a handsome masculine frame with total confidence.
This type of classic nude male art has been depicted, in one form or another, since the earlie st of times on cave walls, in paintings, carved out of stone, and in every other possible art medium throughout history. Ancient nude male forms have been used to express the exploits of man, as told in the myths of the Olympic Gods and Demi-Gods, and to show a connection to the common man who begins his life bare. However, the nude male form has started to move things forward in our collective mind set, having been on the back burner for far too long, and fortunately has always maintained its place in the shared consciousness of all humankind regardless of race, sex or sexual orientation. Some art subjects, like these male nude wall reliefs, are nearly immortal in their appeal to future generations of art lovers and artists.
If you would like to have a wall relief sculpture like the ones depicted in the pictures above, or you have your own idea for a new artwork that you want to have made, we can have our sculptor create it for you in any medium you want, from real marble to bronze for the high-end customer to a faux finish painted plaster reproduction for the more economical custom art buyer. Either way, our team of art and sculpture specialists are available to consult with you on your next sculpture project.
Are you interested in purchasing or customizing a stylistic half draped nude wall art? When purchasing the stylistic half draped nude wall art you are able to control the size, color, material, and design. Installation is available upon request. If you are you can call the office or fill out an order form for more information.
If you have a major project that you need done we are the company for you. We have created large scaled wall art for businesses and smallscaled wall art for homes. This is only one section of ourlarge product list. This will show you the love and passion we have for art. If you stilldo not see anything you like we recommend to still give us a call so we might be able to create the wall art of your dreams.
Some materials that we offer if you would like a custom design are wood, marble, limestone, copper, bronze, silver, nickel, and many more. We recommend that if you would like to create a custom wall art to call our office. Be sure to have a picture or drawing ready so our employees can assist you in a nice clean manner.
There is also a way our company can imitate any types of metal. Normally, we would use hydro stone, plaster, or cement and have our expert artists to imitate any metal, such as marble or copper.
Just some wall arts that we carry are a couple in the air above an audience cheering, two women reaching out for each other, women and men in a pattern, and an enormous woman with different colors.

Street level sex workers are the most marginalized group at risk for violence and abuse. The nature of their work puts them at risk. The majority of womyn and girls involved in street level sex work/sexual exploitation in Prince George are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. Some had this addiction prior to their involvment in sex work. Others started their addiction after they began working. Either way, many of them use it as a coping mechanism for what they face out there while working on the streets.
This by no means allows for the justification of violence against them. Some of the most horrific crimes have been done against womyn involved in sex work or sexually exploited youth. The Ridegeway, Pickton, Ipswich, and Ripper murders are just a few of the rampages done against these womyn and girls.
When will we as a society say enough is enough? These are womyn who are mothers, daughters, grandmothers, sisters and so much more. Many of them are children and youth who have been forced into it.
Why do womyn and youth become involved in sex work and survival sex? Coercion, being forced, drugs, money, food, shelter clothing… Does it really matter how they got involved in it? It is our responsibility as a community to understand the nature behind sex work because only then can we truly provide meaningful support.
At New Hope we recognize that there is a lack of services for womyn in the sex industry. We strive to bridge the gap in services for sex workers through creating a place of safety and security for womyn to access support services pertinent to their needs.

Redeye Chicago has a long interview with Natalie Dormer about her roles in The Fades, Madonna's W.E., and (of course) HBO's Game of Thrones, where she plays the role of Margaery Tyrell.
The Game of Thrones questions start on page 3, where Dormer proves to be quite coy about her character and her role in the story. However, she does say this:
Not to say that the thirrd season is a go, but that at least pins down their views as to when Dormer's likely to be doing the bulk of her work if a third season is commissioned by HBO… and given the numbers it's starting to feel like less of a question of "if" and more of a question of "when" and "how many", if there's the chance that HBO will commit to a two-season order this next go-around.
More interviews with actors have been trickling in, by the by. We shared Alfie Allen's remarks yesterday, but check out Emilia Clarke on Dragons, a great interview with Game of Thrones alumnus Mark Addy (Robert Baratheon), and… what's this? It looks like GRRM's been kept busy recording material for HBO's second season.

Reese Witherspoon: 'Get Her Off the Pitch' Star & Producer?
Reese Witherspoon gets to work on the set off her upcoming film The Good Lie on Wednesday afternoon (May 1) at a Waffle House near Atlanta, Ga.
The 37-year-old actress has reportedly landed her first project since news of her arrest for disorderly conduct broke last week.
Reese is set to produce the film Get Her Off The Pitch and the flick is being shaped for her to star in it as well, according to Deadline.
The film is an Americanized adaptation of a memoir by Times of London critic Lynne Truss, a "self-described proud sports atheist" who was sent to cover the World Cup and eventually covered majoring sporting events for the next four years and slowly became a sports fan.
20+ pictures inside of Reese Witherspoon on the set of The Good Lie…

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Chicago Fire center back Arne Friedrich is inching his way back to full fitness after missing the first five games of the season.
But the only way the 33-year-old is going to work his way back to full strength is to play in games, he said, and that's exactly what he hopes to do on Sunday when the Fire attempt to break the Houston Dynamo's record-setting home unbeaten streak.
READ: Athletico Injury Report
"I would like to see how it goes during the week, but I feel better and better," Friedrich told MLSsoccer.com. "I can promise that as soon as I'm a little fit I'll be there for the team. … The real fitness you get through the games. Even if I play on Sunday, it takes me maybe four, five, six games for me to be 100 percent."
Friedrich has felt no pain in his hamstring over the last few weeks, and fitness is his only deterrent to returning to the lineup. He's one of a few Chicago players who hope to return on Sunday, when the Fire should be close to full strength for the first time this season.
READ: Welcome Back, Captain
Gonzalo Segares injured his quadriceps during last Friday's practice before missing Sunday's 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls, but he should be back for the Fire's game in Houston.
Patrick Nyarko has trained fully after straining his hamstring last week and should also be a go for Houston, while Dilly Duka may make the bench. Both players went through vigorous conditioning training on Tuesday.

The following is from a fellow bushwalker who asked the MRD about the closure of the Freeway PSP north of Hutton Street this week. This is his response and the MRD's.
For the cyclists: Information regarding the closure of the bike path north of Hutton St (see email below).
The current detour meanders around the new estate and comes out on Hutton St some 300 m east of the freeway. A second detour (detailed heading south and not signed) is to cross the "coathanger†bridge into the Osborne Park industrial area and follow Hector St West to, and over, Hutton St and taking the first turn left to rejoin the bike path.
Thank you for the below query regarding the PSP along Hutton Street.
Apologies for the delay in responding but Main Roads have only just been made aware of the closure.
It appears that the closure has been put in place with out our knowledge, by the developers of the Princeton Estate. The developers are upgrading the PSP as part of the new housing estate in the area. A closure of this nature should have been approved by Main Roads prior to the implementation to ensure that we could have notified the public and set up appropriate detours.
The PSP will be closed for several months while the upgrade takes place and once completed will be a far superior path then the original path. Main Roads have requested Traffic Management Plans from the developer which will be reviewed and any changes necessary will be made.
If you have any further questions regarding the closure please contact me on the number below.

The crowd at the Navy Pier ballroom, typically a docile bunch happy to get some free cake and a gift bag, had some uncharacteristically tough questions for Chairman and Chief Executive Jeffrey Rein, starting with demands to know how the company plans to revive its depressed stock price, which has fallen to $33.75, its lowest point in more than two years.
Rein, who took over the CEO post last year, is well aware of the toll the misstep has taken on Walgreens' reputation. He began the meeting conceding that this past year has been a "very trying time for Walgreens' shareholders" and several times attempted to assure the audience that the company is "back on track."
As for growth, Walgreens is sticking to its plan to add 550 stores this year and more than 600 stores in 2009, Rein said. But the company is no longer wedded to its long-standing strategy of eschewing acquisitions in favor of organic growth, he added.
"We're trying to be more flexible and adaptable," said Rein during a news conference after the annual meeting. "In my mind there are no sacred cows."

Carl McVey, now 80 years old, grew up in Roxana, Ill., a small suburb in the Metro East area that sprang up around a Shell Oil Co. refinery. Many in the town worked at the refinery, and Carl's father, Allen McVey, was no exception.
It is an unpleasant job - dealing with the dead.
But it is a job someone has to do - someone has to answer the questions the decedent's loved ones may have - Why? How? When? What do we do now?
Carl McVey, now 80 years old, grew up in Roxana, Ill., a small suburb in the Metro East area that sprang up around a Shell Oil Co. refinery. Many in the town worked at the refinery, and Carl's father, Allen McVey, was no exception.
It was a job he relied upon to help his wife and Carl's mother, Jennie, raise their five boys - Mick, Bob, Red, Don and Carl, who was known to his family as "Corky," so named after a cartoon strip character in "Gasoline Alley."
However, when Carl was only 10 years old, a major explosion and fire occurred at the refinery. Allen C. McVey was one of those killed.
Jennie had been a stay at home mom. She had bore her children late in life and it left her debilitated to the point she could not work.
It was up to the boys to go to work and support the family. Carl did whatever odd jobs he could find. He turned and hoed melons for 10 cents a day, but it included dinner and supper at the farmer's house.
He remembers neighbors being kind to the family and grocery shop owners allowing Jennie to run tabs until the boys could scrape together enough money to pay the bill.
He wore hand-me-downs. His bother, Mick, left home for the Marine Corps after the outbreak of World War II and saw action in the Pacific Theater. Carl was proud to wear his brother's hand-me-down uniform trousers and shirts to school his senior year.
Not only did Carl lose his father early, his brother Red was also killed at a young age, just 21, in an automobile accident.
Mick is now deceased, though he led a full life. Red lives in Florissant, Mo., and Don lives in Roxana.
Carl was a standout high school baseball player and was signed by the St. Louis Browns to a minor league affiliate. His mother and a brother signed his contract on one condition - if he wasn't going to make the majors, he would not be allowed to stay in the minor leagues. He had to return home and take care of his mother.
Carl remembers very vividly the coach calling him in and telling him he would likely never make the majors.
Deeply depressed, he returned home and decided to join the Navy to train as a hospital corpsman, the Navy's equivalent to an Army medic. He married his wife now of 60 years in 1952 and off they went to the Navy.
Carl said he had a sister-in-law who was a nurse and great influence on his life. Carl always expressed a desire to help other people, having been so deeply touched by his father's and brother's deaths.
She encouraged him to enter the medical field to do just that - help others.
Carl became a Navy corpsman and saw duty at Camp LeJeune on the pediatric ward of the base hospital before being transferred to near Norfolk, Va., where he served as a corpsman for an underwater demolition team.
A daughter was born to Carl and Bev during his time in the military.
Having earned his G.I. Bill college funds, Carl entered nursing school and Beverly worked to augment Carl's meager G.I. stipend to support the young and growing family.
He completed nursing school and entered further training to become a nurse anesthetist. He worked for a time as an orderly at a local hospital and continued his training. Once he graduated, he landed his first job in anesthesia in Oklahoma. However, he wasn't comfortable with his job there and was soon looking for another one.
Through an ad, he learned of an opening at the Carmi Township Hospital. He was interviewed by the hospital board and relocated his young family to Carmi on Corn Day weekend 1965.
"I remember Minnie Pearl was the entertainment that year and I had the opportunity to meet her," Carl recalled.
Beverly became a stay-at-home mom and Carl concentrated on his duties at the hospital. At the time, nurse anesthetists covered for each other in the area. Carl worked plenty of shifts at Harrisburg, McLeansboro, Fairfield, Mt. Carmel and Eldorado.
Carl also became an expert at intravenous site placements and was often called in to start IV's for patients. He was also on call for anesthesia cases. He estimated he saw some 3,000 deliveries of babies during his time at the hospital before his 1997 retirement.
"There were cases where I saw three different generations deliver babies," he said.
He also saw lots of death and trauma as an anesthetist and IV starter in the emergency room.
Still, he was there to help people. And he liked doing it.
Soon, he decided to become active in his community. He was the charter president of the Jaycees. The group was active and held many fundraisers for various community projects. One of which he is most proud is the Jaycee's purchase of five acres of ground to help the city expand Bradshaw Park.
"The Jaycees purchased the portion from where the Lion's Club is then north to the softball diamond," he said. "Then, we convinced the city to buy another five acres to the north then we deeded our five acres to them to expand Bradshaw Park."
At the time, Bradshaw Park only covered the area where the minor and major league diamonds are located.
Among his other community activities and accolades were: Citizen of the Year (1971, after being in the community only six years); emcee at numerous events including demolition derbies, mud bogs, queen contests and others; voice of Carmi Little League for 40 years; master of ceremonies for numerous events, including fundraisers; announced former local boxer Bones Adams' championship bought that was nationally broadcast; Teen Town board president; Greater Wabash Regional Planning Commission Board; Board member local cancer society; steering committee for implementing the vocational center; played Santa Claus in his lawn for children and in his house when it was too cold or rainy; WADI board member; and many, many other projects and committees.
Carl began to dabble in politics when he first ran for the local school board. He was instrumental in forming the unit district and getting the vocational center started.
He ran for Carmi City Council and served one term, from 1973 to 1977.
Carl was simultaneously serving his second term on the school board and was still in anesthetics at the hospital. When he declared to Beverly he would seek a second term on the council, she promptly shut him down.
"I had missed a lot of dinners and family time," he said. "I just couldn't say no to people."
"I didn't vote for him," Beverly said of Carl when he sought his second term on the school board. "I didn't want him to win."
Once his time on the school board and city council was completed, Carl spent a few years out of politics until deciding to run for coroner in 1980.
"I felt like I could help more people who were experiencing perhaps the absolute worst day of their lives," he said. "There were so many highs and so many lows - mostly lows."
For the first 10 years, Beverly left him alone at it and continued to be a stay-at-home mom. After that, curiosity got the best of her because Carl would come home from a death scene and wouldn't be able to sleep. She began taking care of the paperwork at the office for Carl but was soon right at his side, an active deputy coroner who was not afraid to handle bodies like any other coroner or EMS professional.
"I would estimate I have worked somewhere around four to 6,000 deaths," Carl said. "I give the credit to God for giving me the ability to push the cases to the back of my mind and go on with the next task. Not all of them are easy, of course, and the deaths of children and young people and fire deaths always disturbed me the worst."
Carl said his memory of his father's death in a fiery explosion was always brought to the surface when he worked fire scenes.
"Those are always tough," he said. "I have my own memories and the bodies are always so badly disfigured. Fire deaths are tough."
When asked what was the toughest death scene he handled, he quickly responded, "The six kids down on 141."
He was talking about the December 1995 single-vehicle accident on Illinois 141 that claimed the lives of Jeremy Woolsey, Trent Walsh, Jason Kuykendall, Kelli Cummins, Jamie Mills and Jerri Michelle French.
All but Cummins, who was 20, were 18-year-old high school classmates and all were from Carmi. McVey worked with the mother of one of the kids.
"That one incident devastated an entire community," Carl said. "It certainly devastated me. I can't sit and talk about it to this day without crying."
Carl said some good came out of the tragedy.
"I was able to get help from a lot of people and a signature campaign was started to bring funds to this county and make some safety improvements to 141," he said. "One [Illinois Department of Transportation] official told me it was the most signatures he had ever seen requesting work on a highway."
As a result of McVey's efforts, with plenty of help from many other people he is quick to point out, a new caution light at 141 and Epworth Road was installed, new guard rails were installed, rumble strips and reflectors and other safety enhancements were installed.
"In all, more than $1 million in upgrades were spent on that highway," he said. "Most people don't know this, but it also is the coroner's responsibility to prevent deaths where he can make a difference."
McVey received an award from the Drug Enforcement Agency for doing just that: He began to notice many death scenes he was responding to had a lot of prescription medications lying around, all prescribed to the decedents -and all from one doctor.
Carl played on a hunch and contacted the DEA. The federal agency launched an investigation and eventually arrested the doctor on drug prescribing violation charges. The doctor no longer practices medicine in Illinois.
Carl was also instrumental to get a regional morgue built in Vanderburgh County to serve the rural areas of southeastern Illinois and southwestern Indiana. However, as rates for autopsies went up, Carl decided he needed a morgue here and could bring autopsy business in from surrounding counties.
"I went to [then-]Sheriff Jerry O'Neal and told him what I wanted to do but I also told him I didn't have any money in my budget to do it," Carl said. O'Neal liked the idea and told Carl the sheriff had money in his budget for the project.
Once completed, it was expanded again in the last few years with state grant funds. It includes a five-body cooler, autopsy table, tools and equipment and even its own X-ray room.
"Without question, it is the most modern morgue in southern Illinois," Carl said. "It has saved the taxpayers of White County money by not having to take our autopsies to Indiana and has generated about $70,000 to $80,000 in revenue from fees charged others to use our facility."
Carl has done all this with plenty of accolades from all levels of government. Most recently, he received a plaque for his service to the Illinois Coroner's and Medical Examiner's Association for his service on their board and as a past president.
But, he has done all this with little recognition from his own county board.
"In 32 years, I only received two raises from the county board," he said.
He was to have started in 1980 at about $4,000 per year, but that same year, the state mandated coroners earn at least $9,000. Other mandates brought his salary to about $10,380 and the county board gave him their own raise twice over the years.
Carl retired making just $13,500 per year as coroner.
But, it wasn't about the money to him.
"It was a blessing to have met so many wonderful people over the years," he said. "I hope I was helpful to the families who lost loved ones. I hope I was able to answer their questions and to provide what comfort I could in my time."

Are you reaching up to a high keyboard? In order to sit correctly to type
and mouse are your feet dangling from a chair that is too high? Working at
a keyboard that is too high may contribute to neck, shoulder and arm
tension. Make the furniture fit you instead of you fitting the furniture,
and reduce tension when you change the DESK HEIGHT.
How to Change the Desk Height:
Begin by checking your position at the keyboard. Let your upper arms hang
straight down, bend your elbows at about 90 to 110 degrees, and keep your
forearms and wrists level as you extend your fingers to the keyboard. If
you cannot sit that way because the keyboard is too high, then change your
keyboard height.

PCPlus has a tutorial on building your own Linux distribution with the customizations you want, derived from Fedora, using the graphical interface called Revisor. "We're used to thinking of Linux distributions being set in stone. They're either KDE or Gnome, use a certain kernel and bundle certain applications. But this doesn't have to be the case. If you find yourself making the same adjustments each time you install a new distribution, it's worth creating your own customised version. Revisor is a tool that lets you do just this, and in this tutorial, we'll show you how."
