Boulton Center for the Performing Arts
37 W. Main Street,
Bay Shore,
2 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 41 comments
The first movie I saw there was in the early"60's"a matinee"Little Red Ridinghood and the Monsters"imported from Mexico and dubbed into English by K.Gordon Murry,Elvis Presley's "Paradise Hawiian style","The Sound of Music","Deranged","Mark of the Devil"(with barf bags)and a French movie"Going Places"with Garrard Depardeau. The theater was okay, not as grand as the other Bayshore on main street.
Are theaters where you are listed on CT? If not, they're easy to establish. If you've been to one or more, look them up on CT and make comments which would be informational.
No. I am not sure what I can contribute.
alyxzandra have you contributed info on your current theaters to CT?
I want to add I now live in Europe and have not been back to Long Island for 28 years. I am sure things have changed a lot; especially Main Street, Bay Shore.
I remember the doorman being very intimidating looking, but he was lovely and protective of my mother and I. I remember being fascinated with the lovely interior, which contrasted with the type of movies being shown. But, you may be right about the combination of people working there.
When I lived in Bellerose the cashier at the local theater was, I believe, a single parent of two sons, and a WWII widow. The doorman was an elderly gentleman. I think that was often the combination at the Century Theatres which always had continuous performances rather than just evening and, perhaps, matinees like most of the Long Island venues.
I have fond memories of this theater. My mother, Judy, was a single parent and worked as a ticket seller when this was a XXX theater. She used to bring a little portable TV to watch while selling them and I used to sit just outside the ticket booth next to her and we would watch TV together. The foot police were always stopping in and the bouncer ensured there were no problems.
One day, my aunt and mother decided to go to the upstairs balcony, which was closed to the public, and watch a movie. They laughed so hard that the punters started to leave. Both of them had identical, loud laughter.
Some people would say it was very seedy to have a young, teen daughter with her, but I always understood we needed the extra money and this worked well around my mother's day job. Before it became a XXX theater, we saw several films there as well as at Bay Shore theater.
My mother is now deceased (as well as my aunt), but I will always have funny and fond memories of this place.

Added a 1930s image of Main Street. Note the original Regent vertical is still in place but a marquee has been added.
Added 1914 image of Main Street showing the vertical of the New Regent.
Doing research on something else I came upon an article indicating that, in 1917, the Regent was in receivership but would be reopening under the management of Nathan Goldstein who operated the Unique and Star in Patchogue. It was subsequently operated by W.D Eccleston until it was acquired by Mike Glynne in 1926. At some point in time it became a Prudential theater.
Notice the parallels of movie exhibitors and banks? Always changing ownership and, sometimes, names.
I don't know. I know there are quite a few small theatre outfits on the island as well such as the Arena Players, The Airport Theatres. I do gather that they must be hurting now big time with the recession. Gateway, one of the more well known theatre groups seems to still be doing OK. I have seen a few of their shows at the Patchogue. That is a nice place BTW. Too bad that more theatres like that didn't survive on LI. After I saw pictures of the Bayshore theatre, that would have been a nice candidate for restoration. But in the case of the Regent, the place was a hole so I did welcome the idea that Hollyrock presented. It certainly did breathe some life into the place. It was a good idea while it lasted. It was just poorly managed. It's a shame as the place nicely lit up main street too as it had quite a bit of neon on the facade.
How many performing arts venues can LI sustain? You have the Patchogue, Westhampton Beach, Engelmann(at Northport), CM (at Oakdale), Smithtown, Paramount (at Huntington)soon to be Westbury and Suffolk (Riverhead), all former theatres PLUS Bay Street in Sag Harbor and a myriad of others.
Echoing Robboehm, I clearly remember the Regent being Hollyrock in the early 90's. At the time I was a DJ / Sound system installer and I did clubs in that area. While I never did any work, nor DJ'ed at Hollyrock, I was inside there twice. The place was done up very nicely in an art deco style. They nicely restored the outside and marquee and even had the name "Hollyrock" on the vertical. Inside, the orchestra section had all the seats removed and in the day time they operated the place as a luncheonette complete with 50's style car's as seats that faced the movie screen that played old movies, trailers and cartoons. At night they removed the "car" seats and that area became the dance floor. They had railings around the dance floor area with tall tables and stools to sit at. The balcony was semi converted and still had some theatre seats in place towards the front. The extreme front/center of the balcony is where the DJ booth was. The back of the balcony is where the bar was along with a few more tables to sit at. Food was prepared downstairs behind where the ticket booths were. All in all, they didn't do a bad job at making something of the place, considering the porn hole it was prior. However, the business was poorly run and was pretty expensive compared to other clubs in the area. The owners made people wait outside to make the line long so the place looked packed…even though it was nearly empty inside. This tactic pissed many people off. Overall, Hollyrock didn't last very long. I think it was only open for about 4 years and then shut down. A couple of friends and myself tried to get a hold of the place in receivership, but as it turned out, the owners owed so much money on the place that everything inside was liquidated and sold off. So in the end, the building was once again an empty shell. I don't know what it looks like now as the Boulton Center For The Performing Arts, but I must say the whole repurposing the theatre as a nightclub was interesting in the least and I really did think Hollyrock was going to be around for a long time. I was sadly mistaken…but I think it could have worked with the right management.
I took a look at some pictures of the Bay Shore Theatre (a couple blocks down from Boulton) and THAT place really looked nice. It SHOULD have been restored as a performing arts venue.
But some times the results are interesting. Look at the picture of the Oasis. I thought the current use was as a church because of the way the poles are situated.
Oh yes, David. The bane of every photographer interested in documenting street-level architecture! I have hundreds of photos ruined by those lines. Same can sometimes be said of trees in full bloom, when you're out there between April and October! Thankfully, Manhattan is at least one area where above ground lines are virtually non-existant.
Since joining this site I have come to despise pole to pole utility lines. So many pictures of aesthetically pleasing theaters are ruined by those wretched wires cutting through the foreground.
Wow, the theater really looked crapy by that point.
Somewhere between being the Regent and Boulton Center it was the Hollyrock. There was a cafe infront and a screen showing movies. Bizarre – a little like the current Studio One in NYC that has stage plays in a setting like that.
The Regent can be seen briefly in the movie "Last Summer". Directed by Frank Perry, the film was about four teens spending the summer on Fire Island. Starring Bruce Davidson, Barbra Hershey, Richard Thomas before John Boy Walton and Cathy Burns who received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. There's a scene where the four are running out of the theater to catch the ferry.
The Regent Theater is listed as open in the 1926 edition of Film Daily Yearbook with a seating capacity of 700.
Regarding the recent posts…great to hear Bay Shore pulling itself up by its bootstraps again…Funny storys about the Regent….Made my first all day trek to "another town" on my bicycle, riding all the way from East Islip at 12 yrs. to see "Blood On Satan's Claw"… Took me all day to get there, then realized…
a.) It was an R rated film and as such I would not get in ( I did, no questions asked!) and
b.) It would take me well into the night to get back…Had some explaining to do, but it was an adventure and the movie scared the crap outa me…
I watched that theatre crumble almost in timelapse as I would take a bus to school and pass it every day…First run films….2nd run double bills…Softcore films…Porno chic(Devil in Miss Jones)…hardcore porn…closed….
BTW… the record store you might be thinking about may have been The Cucumber Castle…
We would pass that place every time we drove to Robert Moses, my brother and I would beg my folks to stop and let us go in….never happened….years later older cousins let us in on the fact that it was a head shop….
I just visited the Boulton Center last Friday night. Kenny Rankin performed an intimate concert there to a full house. I also saw Livingston Taylor on March 31st, 2007 and he was spectacular and also packed full. Janis Ian came by last year and graced her sold out audience with her thoughtful and moving talent. It is a GREAT venue!
I work across from the theatre and I want all to know that Bay Shore is coming back! At one time, there was a silent movie studio in this town…so it has a history. The town by the Great South Bay on Long Island will rise again and be gloious. It's all being restored!

See those abs? You know, the super-ripped ones to the left of these words? Those are Amber Lynn's abs.
Amber is a pro fitness model. She's a star competitor in fitness competitions, a black belt in karate, a walking encyclopedia on fat loss, fitness and nutrition…
And makes grown men cry just by flexing 😉
Today, Amber is going to share her secrets for slim, sexy abs. Take notes! This is a good one.
Take it away, Amber!
A lot of people ask me… "How did you get your abs???"
The truth is, it's not all that difficult. I don't try extra hard. I don't starve myself. I just live by a few simple principles, and apply them every single day. First I'm going to share my daily routine with you. Then, I'll show you how you can modify it to work with your own schedule.
That way – whether you want 6-pack abs, or just a flat stomach – you can just follow in my footsteps to get there ;-).
First: Morning Workout & Breakfast
What I do: 60-90 minutes of weight training. This usually comes first, unless I wake up super hungry.
Then I'll eat plain oatmeal with berries, or have a smoothie with cottage cheese, fruit, water, & whey protein powder (a lot of people cringe when they hear I put cottage cheese in a smoothie, but you really can't taste it when it's blended up with everything!)
What you can do: Well, you can copy my meals easy enough. But I know not everyone has time for a 60-90 minute weight training session in the morning! Just get as much of a workout as you can in the morning. It jumpstarts your metabolism like crazy.
– Go for a jog…
– Do pushups, squats, lunges and sit-ups…
– Do pullups…
– Powerwalk…
Exercise in the morning gets your metabolism burning fat for you all day long.
Lunch, Snacks & Dinner
What I do: I eat every 2-4 hours. I hate hunger, and I would never go on a diet that made me hungry. That includes 3 main meals, and 3 snacks. For lunch, I'll usually have a salad with either spinach or dark greens with a lean meat on top (like tuna or chicken). Actually, a lot of times I have this for dinner too. I'll also throw in whatever veggies are in the fridge:
– Tomatoes…
– Avocado…
– Seeds (like flax seeds)…
For dressing, I throw on a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Snacks are either peanut butter… a slice of protein bread with peanut butter… Greek yogurt with peanut butter… or another smoothie with *drum roll please* peanut butter!
Yes, I'm crazy about peanut butter! I think it's the best thing since the discovery of peanuts! 🙂
If you can't have peanut butter – try almond butter, or another nut butter.
What you can do: Have a fridge at work? Bring in some non-fat Greek yogurt and stock up. Throw some fruit and veggies in there too. You can also bring hummus and carrots for a great, filling, healthy snack.
The trick is to never let yourself get too hungry. That's when you make bad food choices.
For meals, pre-cook a bunch of chicken for the week. You can just throw it on top of some greens and add balsamic vinegar and oil for a quick, healthy, filling meal. Same goes for tuna or lean beef!
(Vegetarian? Slice up a block of tofu and throw it in the oven with a bit of salt & pepper. Makes for a delicious protein to add to salads / meals).
I also bring food with me wherever I go. For example, every couple of weeks I travel to NYC to meet at iLoveKickboxing.com HQ. I always bring peanut butter and other snacks, and leave them in their office fridge. Hunger is the #1 cause of bad food choices! Don't let yourself get hungry!
Evening Workout
What I do: With my weight training out of the way, I head on over to my iLoveKickboxing.com location in Rhode Island for cardio and some more resistance. I don't run, jog, play sports or do anything else for cardio.
All I do is work my butt off at iLoveKickboxing.com!
What you can do: Try to make 2-3 iLoveKickboxing.com classes per week. This alone will help you burn fat – and keep it off. I recommend doing weight training too on days where you don't go to kickboxing class.
Weights help you build muscles, which boosts metabolism, and burns fat. And if you're a lady like me, don't worry! You won't get bulky, I promise ;-). It takes a super-high-calorie diet and TONS of protein to bulk up.
A few important notes:
– Avoid sugar and white flour like the plague!!
– As you can see, I don't do workouts especially for my abs. I work my whole body, and eat right, and the abs come naturally.
– Hang in there! A sexy stomach doesn't come overnight. It's part of a slim lifestyle. Give yourself time to create this lifestyle. Make small changes every day, and before you know it, your whole life is healthy & slimming.

The open document foundation has released libreoffice 3.5 and if you are eager like me here's how i installed it in my Ubuntu 11.10 machine!
—— go to www.libreoffice.org
and download latest files, if you are using 64 bit then download the
x64 files, 32 bit users will need to download the x86 files.
—– first thing i would recommend is to uninstall libreoffice 3.4
from your system, since it might create more problems. To do this open
synaptic package manager and search for libreoffice and mark the
following packages for complete removal.
libreoffice-base and select apply it will remove all the libreoffice 3.4 programs and configuration files.
—– then extract the downloaded zip files and open the folder. You
will find a folder named DEBS within that folder. Within the DEBS folder
you will find libreoffice 3.5 packages. However you will find another
folder with just package named "desktop integration", move this package
into the same directory as the DEBS.
—– then copy the folder named DEBS into the desktop, ( not a must but
makes it easier) and open a terminal window and type the following
cd ~/Desktop/DEBS
( this navigates you to the folder named DEBS in the desktop)
sudo dpkg -i *
( this will install all the packages in a batch)
That is it now you have the best and the latest libreoffice 3.5
You can also check the link below for what is new

Label: WormHoleDeath 2012
Review by: Urban "Wally" Wallstrom
Demons to some, Gods to others? What about bozos? a vast majority of the population will most certainly file Bleeding Utopia under the latter category? And as if that wasn't enough, they proclaim to be a thrash metal band? Perhaps the modern typed ones as Dew Scented or whatever (not that I'd call it thrash). But this is mostly plain old boring death metal/core firmly rooted into the sound of the mid to late nineties. It's unfortunately the worst possible era in the history of hardrock and metal. Geez, remember when Slayer decided to jump bandwagon and do this shit as well in the nineties? Oh, the horror, the horror! They haven't recovered as of yet really and their last classic studio album dates as far back as 1990 (Seasons In the Abyss).
For although at heart it's rather technical album based around groove and power riffing, Killing Utopia has gone over board with the monotonious setting synonymous with the 90's core and chosen to locate their songwriting at the far back of priorities. You may however find their music interesting if you're just about to enter the mosh pit and jump around like a tw*t for an hour. Infront of the stereo, in your MP3 player, or whatever (cassette recorder, sony walkman?), it gets quickly dull though. The songs are simply not good enough. Final verdict: The stamina, agility, and position play of Roger Johnson after a two day bender (FYI: Johnson is the captain of Wolverhampton W - football, premier league).


text: I spent a good part of yesterday morning and this morning walking around this tremendous city. In that time, I received all the confirmation I needed. This is where I need to be. And this is where I'm going to be. I'm excited by the thought of calling this city home in a few short weeks.

Well, that was painless...
Ahem, ahem, ahem, I seem to have some cobwebs and dust to clean up. My blog's been hiding in the attic for 5 months. Yep, 5 whole months of 30-31 days each. That's a lot of days. Pretty much half a year. Looks like I'll be dusting it off for a bit before I really get back. You see, I just somehow lost May and then, catching up on May in June as well as covering June seemed daunting. Then July came with many adventures. But you get the point. I procrastinated, then got scared, then felt guilty, then felt liberated, then felt guilty again (before reminding myself I had been LIBERATED from my blog...wait, why do I do this?). And there you have it. Five months of nil. Nothing. And you know me, I like to chat and share. So, I am going to try to bring this jessie back. I have tons of updates, many of which are now irrelevant. After a few months of ups and downs and lots of worries, it seems that Caesar is in very good place to move forward with riding. Let's hope so. More on that front and many more to come. Also, after 2.5 years of bumming off Mike's laptop, I got my very own new computer. Tiny and cute and hopefully it will encourage me to write more soon. I hope soon does not mean March 2012 :)

Richard Shope is borrowing a centuries-old art form to help today's generation write better tomorrow.
Shope, 33, believes there is a strong link between mime--the art of communicating through silent movement and gesture--and the written word.
To be good at either requires an eye for detail and an ability to capture it. A mime does it with movement, a writer with words. While the means are different, the aim is the same: the presentation of a clear, concise image.
But Shope, a playwright and accomplished mime, contends that much of what elementary and high school students compose today is shallow and unimaginative--shortcomings the founder of the Marina del Rey-based company Mime Media believes he can correct.

You grow, girl!
OAK PARK, Mich. (WJBK) - "The price of organic food is kind of through the roof," said Julie Bass.
So, why not grow your own? However, Bass' garden is a little unique because it's in her front yard.
"We thought it'd be really cool to do it so the neighbors could see. The kids love it. The kids from the neighborhood all come and help," she said.
Bass' cool garden has landed her in hot water with the City of Oak Park. Code enforcement gave her a warning, then a ticket and now she's been charged with a misdemeanor.
Listen to the voice of "You can't........" government tyranny from the mouth of pipsqueak commissar Kevin Rulkowski:
"That's not what we want to see in a front yard," said Oak Park City Planner Kevin Rulkowski.
Why? The city is pointing to a code that says a front yard has to have suitable, live, plant material. The big question is what's "suitable?"
"If you look at the definition of what suitable is in Webster's dictionary, it will say common. So, if you look around and you look in any other community, what's common to a front yard is a nice, grass yard with beautiful trees and bushes and flowers," he said.
And they used to laugh at the stiflingly oppressive bourgeois conformity of Eisenhower's America. This Rulkowski has it all: patronizing recourse to authority, "Webster's dictionary" in this case, which miraculously provides him with a definition of "suitable" vouchsafed to no one else on Earth. Look how much contempt the guy has for the average citizen: he brazenly makes up a definition that suits his own convenience and attributes it to a respected authority, because he's so confident that nobody will look it up and prove him wrong! He just doesn't care. He waves the magic words and figures his status as a government bossyboots will simply cow the peasants into dropping their gaze and letting him have his way.
We asked Rulkowski what he would say to those who feel this is ridiculous.Once again, there's just breezy assertion here. How would HE know the opinion of "most people in Oak Park"? He doesn't know. This is HIS opinion, and he's just attributing it to a bigger group of people in order to use the "intimidation by size" ploy. Where are all the voices from this local majority to support him? Nowhere. There are no crowds of people standing on their front lawns shaking their heads at the vegetable menace down the street, the way you'd find if it were a crack house being busted. There is no groundswell of opinion to support ripping up this lady's garden; at most there's a ratty little malcontent or two who anonymously snitched to the city. (And I don't even know that for sure, except that this is how this sort of thing usually falls into the greasy hands of government apparatchiks.)
"I would argue that you won't find that opinion from most people in Oak Park," he responded.
It's not just the gardening side of it that infuriates me so much, though I can easily see myself in this lady's place (and I do have 2 big garden tubs growing tomatoes sitting right on my front driveway by the garage door). It's the vicious over-reaction of the powerful at the effrontery of this little nobody who wants to have her way. The swinging of a MACE to crush a grasshopper that's chirping out of turn. To threaten a respectable woman with 3 months in JAIL - for this. It's like the case of the guy assaulted in his own home by a SWAT time run by the Dept. of Education, for God's sake, or the Iraq vet in Arizona shot 60 times by government thugs because the only acceptable response to a command by a government official is immediate, silent submission. More and more, this is becoming the default attitude of the government towards it's former citizens, now it's subjects - submit or else. This woman is being punished for not being obedient to a government command - people should be hopping mad about it.

8SVX file extension - Amiga 8-bit sound
What is 8svx file? How to open 8svx files?
File type specification:
8SVX Amiga sound format is part of the IFF (Interchangeable File Format).
The Amiga Interchange File Format (IFF) is used to transfer documents to and from Commodore Amiga computers. The IFF file standard is extremely flexible, and allows all a few formats, not only images, including text to be stored inside an IFF file. IFF files can be exported from an Amiga to a PC. The format can also be created on a PC, but the extension of the file name will then change to LBM or to CE (Depending on the application). However, the basic file structure remains the same. The standard form for IFF image files created on a PC is called ILBM. ILBM is formed by means of compressing all images as planes. This is much slower, but it means that these compressed files will be accessible by any application able to read an IFF file, even if they are exported back to an Amiga.

In the meantime, here's the rundown on what we, and our fine friends, neighbors and colleagues, have been getting to eat lately.
Alden's birthday cake – the much anticipated homemade funfetti in four layers
Nicky's Vanilla Cake
Nicky is Ruth Reichl's son, and this cake is from her book, Garlic and Sapphires
All the rest of these are from the Dorie Greenspan:
Coconut Orange Tea Cake – two times, once a non dairy version.
Lots-of-Ways Banana Cake
Nutty Chocolaty Swirly Sour Cream Bundt Cake – three times
Apple Coconut Family Cake
note: this batter does not go with the apple-coconut family cake just mentioned. I just wanted to end with an action shot, so to speak.

TL;DR: Sign up now. Do it! Mr. Hoover is talented, professional, attentive, punctual, organized and effective.
I've taken music lessons my entire life, and I've had bad, mediocre, good and excellent teachers before. Mr. Hoover is excellent. It _never_ once felt like he was phoning it in or killing time-- lessons were well-structured and tailored to help me achieve my personal goals as a musician.
I'm moving away from Chicago for a new job opportunity and am sad to discontinue lessons with him, as I learned a lot in a very short amount of time. I encourage any folks at any age wishing to learn the flute to sign up.
Michael was an excellent flute teacher for my 5th-grade daughter!
He's very patient and calm, which is critical for new learners, and gave my daughter a lot of confidence in her ability to play the flute.
I highly recommend Michael!
We really enjoy having Michael as a private flute instructor. He is patient, good with teens, extremely talented and knowledgeable. My daughter always looks forward to lessons and has fun learning from Michael. He choses level-appropriate music and is always very encouraging. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for private or group flute lessons.+ Read More

I noticed a point within myself today as I was reading an article/document that Sunette had posted – http://desteni.co.za/intro-forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1631&p=7922#p7922 about "Self Change".
The article was looking at the point of Change from the perspective of "Material Change" and how one attempt to change and define change within and through change in ones environment as a result of /directly related to money where one would in a way "Buy" change.
So the point that came up within me is the point of how I often immediately go to the point of money as an indication of my self change, or how I have changed, or how to change. I understand that I cannot simply just change from an external perspective but that actual change must be actual change, as a change that is both internal and external. I am also aware of the Process of doing this from the perspective of what is required to assist and support self with internal self change and also how to actually bring this/walk this live this into ones physical reality so that the change exist both internally and externally as an actual manifested change of as self completely.
I will also say that at the moment I am still in the process of Learning how to in fact do this, though I am aware of different aspects of how this works and have also been involved in actually doing this for myself for the last 4 years, though I realize I am still developing and understanding the basic fundamental points of this process in terms of how to actually apply and live this as myself.
So the point I noticed within me today is that I was tending to go more to an "out-there" approach to change a little quickly in by simply for example looking at "how can I make lots of money" as then this being an indication (if I could do this) that I have changed. I see that I was "jumping a bit" And I see that I must actually assist and support myself to effectively establish this point of self change in writing first, where in I actually explore much more thoroughly my inner reality of self because in a way I see that I was trying to change my external reality without actually walking the internal networks and constructs existent inside of me that are still operating, functioning, controlling and directing myself and my experience and my world. So yes basically seeing the vastness of my inner reality that I was not "taking on" so to speak, and thus require to direct myself within taking on my "internal reality" more specifically and thoroughly so as to "balance out" my application of attempting to change me.
So just a point I noticed, realized today in reading sunettes article that I thought Id share.
So to place it simplistically in the words of a cave man…
Me write more.

Here in Shrewsbury MA there are so many subdivisions to choose from, yet Country Way has always been a favorite, largely because it's one of the few flat pieces of land in an otherwise hilly town. Started by Harrington Development, they took the somewhat unique posture of building only a few homes each year, after which George would head to Florida and the rest of the subdivision would just have to wait until he returned. For years and years, the development chugged along, with lovely homes, on gorgeous flat lots, most of which with brick exteriors, a rare sight here in Shrewsbury.
Two years ago, Harrington sold off the remaining lots to a different developer, who went in and zipped through the rest of the subdivision over the course of only two years, with some amazing homes selling well over $1,000,000.
Below are the available listings located in the Country Way Estates and Morningside Estates sub-divisions. If the page is blank, there are no listings currently available. Feel free to email me though, as I often know about listings, long before they ever hit the market. You can reach me anytime at [email protected]

Mötorhead Guitarist 'Fast' Eddie Clarke Dead at 67
"Fast" Eddie Clarke, the guitarist for heavy metal legends Motörhead who appeared on many of the band's classic albums, died Wednesday. He was 67.
The group confirmed Clarke's death on Facebook, noting that he was in the hospital for pneumonia.
"We are devastated to pass on the news we only just heard ourselves earlier tonight. Edward Allan Clarke - or as we all know and love him Fast Eddie Clarke - passed away peacefully yesterday," the group wrote. "Fast Eddie...keep roaring, rockin' and rollin' up there as goddamit man, your Motörfamily would expect nothing less!!!"
"Such a shock. He will be remembered for his iconic riffs and was a true rock n roller. RIP Eddie," wrote longtime guitarist Phil Campbell.
"Oh my fucking God, this is terrible news, the last of the three amigos," wrote former drummer Mikkey Dee. "I saw Eddie not too long ago and he was in great shape. So this is a complete shock. Me and Eddie always hit it off great. I was looking forward to seeing him in the UK this summer when we come around with the [Scorpions] Now Lem and Philthy can jam with Eddie again, and if you listen carefully Im sure youll hear them, so watch out!!! My thoughts go out to Eddies family and close ones."
Clarke was the last surviving member of Mötorhead's classic trio, with both bassist/singer Lemmy Kilmister and drummer Phil Taylor dying in 2015. The three came together in the mid-Seventies and released their self-titled debut in 1977. Clarke would serve as Mötorhead's guitarist, and occasional singer, for the next five years as the band's popularity grew. Mötorhead released a steady stream of albums during the late-Seventies and early-Eighties, including classics like Overkill, Ace of Spades and their live record, No Sleep 'til Hammersmith.
Clarke's last album with Mötorhead was 1982's Iron Fist, after which Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson took his spot. Band tensions played a role in Clarke's departure and the final straw for the guitarist was reportedly Mötorhead's decision to partner with the Plasmatics for an EP featuring a cover of Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man."
After leaving Mötorhead, Clarke teamed with bassist Pete Way to form a new outfit, Fastway, which released its self-titled debut in 1983. The group released a string of records throughout the Eighties, riding the popularity of heavy metal and hair metal, before splitting in the early Nineties.
Clarke released a solo album, It Ain't Over Till It's Over, in 1994, which notably found him reuniting with his former Mötorhead bandmate Lemmy on "Laugh at the Devil." Clarke would continue to record and perform over the next few decades, releasing solo records and reuniting with Fastway. His last LP, Make My Day Back to Blues, arrived in 2014.

专辑艺人:Minotaur Shock
发行日期:June 13, 2005
新签约在4AD旗下的Minotaur Shock事实上是David Edwards的个人乐队,他在漫长的大学时光里就开始自娱自乐的作音乐,结果为此荒废了学业,但却遇到一个志同道合的同学教给他一些电脑制作音乐的入门技术。
后来回到故乡Bristol,在Melodic唱片公司以Minotaur Shock的名义发行了第一张EP《Bagatelle》。他的音乐基本上是基于电脑技术实验电子,看似自由松散的结构、漫不经心的细节点缀,洋溢着自然温暖的气息,同时又让你惊异于它近乎怪异的创造性。在发行了专辑《Chiff-Chaffs And Willow Warblers》后,受到了乐评届广泛的好评:
"Think: Boards Of Canada. And then think of something far more beautiful" — NME
"Warmth, not trickery, is Minotaur's aim, a target struck with confidence and skill" — Q
"Possibly our classiest leftfield pop band – a British answer to Phoenix" — NME 8/10

以下引自David Edwards的个人点评:
1 Muesli
"This is the closest thing to a sailor's hornpipe you'll find here. It was also an attempt to not use drums, which I nearly managed."
2 (She's In) Drydock Now
"The tale of the final voyage of a successful but outdated ocean liner. The party begins on one side of the Atlantic, but as the 'Last Harbour' looms nearer, so she begins to reflect on former glories."
3 Vigo Bay
"The mutant-disco sound of eager rogue treasure hunters as they ready their equipment. They manage to get underwater but our story ends before they find what they are looking for. I tried to play guitar like David Gedge on this one, and it's harder than it looks."
4 Six Foolish Fishermen
"A reference to the old tale about the six brothers who forgot to count themselves. A silly but conscious attempt at making an electronic song without much fiddling which is all about the chord change."
5 Hilly
"Imagine you're on a lonely boat sailing close by the Cornish coast at night. On the shore, in a field on the side of a hill you can spot a group of debauched individuals dancing naked round a fire. This is what I imagine they'd be dancing to."
6 Twosley
"An ingenius pun based around the fact that Twosley rhymes with Muesli and features similar clarinet styles. Although I insist on pronouncing it T-wos-ley. Like Bosley, the useless middleman in Charlie's Angels. A dark tune which was a bit of a chance experiment in chord progression and rhythm and a bugger to arrange. Not really about anything, mind."
7 Someone Once Told Me It Existed, But They Never Found It
"Now this one is a musical representation of a short film I imagined about a guy that dreams of wonderful treasure, then goes out for a walk and stumbles upon a treasure map, which he realises will guide him to his wonderful treasure (cue dream sequence). Then it cuts to clips of him making the journey on as a stowaway on an old ship, enduring hardships that are softened by his dreams of treasure. Then suddenly he's on the island and he spots the treasure chest. Rapture. After his initial excitement he notices a precariously balanced seabird's nest atop the treasure chest. Being a nice guy, he can't disturb the nest so he just turns around and starts the journey home. It's all there. Listen again."
8 Luck Shield
"This is my favourite song on the album because it doesn't really sound like something I'd do. Its all to do with luck, everything's to do with luck. Sometimes we all have days when it feels like we must have forgotten to leave our luck shields at home. This is the theme to one of those days."
9 Mistaken Tourist
"This carries on the same theme. Its about being in the wrong place at the wrong time and not even knowing it. I wanted it to sound like Van Halen meets Cluster but my weakness for daft melody and whimsical instrumentation foiled me. Again."
10 The Broads
"I went to Mauritius and I went to Norfolk. I recorded stuff in both of those places and put them together on this track. Its about watching wildlife and enjoying simple things."
11 Four Magpies
"This is vaguely about my firstborn. It is a big packet of Mini Cheddars but it knows it so that makes it ok. It also contains cheeky references to the 4AD records that soundtracked my youth. Its got it's heart on its sleeve, I like it. "

|Photo by Nick Holmes Sept 2016
Estimates are that as many as 40% of Americans will be diagnosed with and survive cancer.
Sadly, not everyone will beat cancer, breast, or otherwise. I lost a dear friend, Sherwin Davis, to pancreatic cancer just last month. #fuckingcancer
But for those of us who get cancer, and don't die of it, what then? Should we pretend we died? Live a life of fear and rehash our hurts? Grovel around like beggars at the Table of Life, expressing pathetic gratefulness for any crumbs that fall to us?
Well, as discussed as CatalystCon, and in agreement with Clarissa Pinkola Estes, surviving as a goal ain't good enough. The goal, always, should be to thrive.
This is why I call myself a surthriver. Because my life before cancer was awesome, my life during cancer treatment was awesome, and my life post-treatment (except for the Tamoxifen regimen, which sucks big fat hairy donkey balls), is awesome.
A big part of my journey has been learning to accept that my body has changed. A huge factor helping me do that has been the sexy surthrivers I've been learning from.
That Club Nobody Wants to Belong To
My friend Mina Harker might never have come into my life, except we both had cancer. Hers was cervical, and she is a BadAss, Stage 4, 5 year+ surthriver. She also had a double mastectomy because of the BRCA1 gene, and agreed to sit on my panel for CatalystCon to discuss the modifications required in her sex life because of her diagnosis and treatment.
She is awesome and über-sexy and I love her to pieces.
|If you look super closely, you might notice the scars.
Mostly, you notice a gorgeous woman
And then there's my friend Jennifer Pratt, who can rock purple, silver, or turquoise hair, or a tiara. She is talented like that.
Jennifer has been battling leukemia and ovarian cancer. Because she'e an overachiever.
Jennifer hosted the best (technically, the only) pre-cancer surgery party I've ever attended. She is upbeat and funny and also writes a blog about her celiac disease, and I'm so happy we've met.
Augusta Fleming, Now treating her Stage 3B Hodgkins Lymphoma with cannabis in Colorado, after traditional chemotherapy last year offered a miserable time (months in the hospital at a time!) and no real progress. She's the mother of two little girls, a kick-ass photographer, and a true inspiration.
|Because she had to be hospitalized so much, there are evil medical bills.
Her friends have set up a GoFundMe to help.
And then there's this radiant woman, Sex Educator Ericka Hart, whose proud, joyous photo from Afropunk3 went viral on social media. (Photos shared with her permission.)
You can follow Ericka on Instagram.
"Where were the dykes who had double mastectomies? I wanted to talk to a lesbian, to sit down and start from a common language, no matter how diverse. I wanted to share dyke insight, so to speak." - Audre Lorde

|Ericka at the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Read this interview with her at Posture Magazine. Ericka continually blows me away and I am following her career with intense interest.
Showing Our Bodies When We Want To
One of the things Ericka and I and other breast cancer surthrivers have discussed, is that because we have to show our breasts (and often, other body parts) to so many different medical professionals: doctors, nurses, lab technicians, and more, it can be empowering to show our bodies when we want to. Even if that's to the whole world!
|You get to see my tits! And you get to see my tits! Everybody gets to see my tits!
"Before" lumpectomy picture by Nick Holmes, June 2015
My arrangement with my favorite actor - slash - pretend cowboy - slash - poet (you should totally buy his book and get a lover to read you his deliciously sensuous poems, they're yummy!) - slash photographer, Nick Holmes, was to have him take a set of before-and-after photos. Nick made the "before" pictures easy and fun.
Getting to the "after" pictures was much more emotionally challenging for me. Even though I was so lucky, and I knew it, not having to have a mastectomy, or chemotherapy.
|About two weeks post surgery. I did not expect Laverne to swell up like that.
Possibly the vigorous sex I had with three of my lovers was a contributing factor. #toomuchofagoodthing
As I got deeper into radiation treatment, Laverne and Shirley looked like they were staging an interpretative production of Snow White and Rose Red.
|Radiation reddened my breast, thickened the nipple,
and caused the skin in my armpit to break down.
Fun times!
Nothing like having one of your lovers help you bandage up your 'pit as foreplay.
Eventually, the breast skin became (more) normal, though Laverne remains pinker than Shirley despite lymphatic massage. The nipple and areola are still thicker, and ridged. I've heard it may go back to normal in five years or so.
Or, never.
That was not what I wanted to hear. But that is part of this journey - learning and accepting that our bodies have changed. We have to find ways to love the skin we're currently in. Instead of waiting until we are: thin enough, muscular enough, some other "enough." We deserve to give ourselves love and compassion now. Whether we are breast cancer surthrivers, other cancer surthrivers, or just "regular" women and men, growing a little older every day.
So I decided to stop procrastinating, and booked my "after" session with Nick. These are some of my favorites.
The one good thing about having cancer, is, it helped me lose weight.
Oh, wait.
That's another thing I am struggling to accept, that chances are I can't lose weight (95% of people who deliberately lose weight, see it all come back, with dividends). That what I have to focus on is health: eating nutritious foods, getting regular exercise, drinking water, getting enough sleep. I'm not perfect at those things, but am working on 'em. Blogged about the weight quandary here.
I'm working on accepting that, at least for now, maybe forever, I have a big belly and thick thighs. Flabby batwing arms.
And to love my body anyway.
Because life is glorious!
|I love my eyes and my hair in this shot!
I am very, very happy to be alive, to have this healthy, sensuous body that gives me so much pleasure. And sometimes I think the girls look pretty damn good!
|This photo is NOT by Nick Holmes, lol.
If you haven't already, please consider signing up for my newsletter (right side of page, toward the top) so I can let you know about my progress with my Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n Roll, and a Tiara: How I Celebrated Kicking Cancer's Ass memoir, to be released in 2017.

What is already out there:
In Mount and Blade their were a group of companion characters which I found very interesting. You needed to find them at different locations and have sufficient money and leadership skills to convince them to join your group. Once they joined you could give them any equipment you desired. As they leveled you could choose how to distribute their skill points. They were interesting, when you ventured near their hometown they would give you a little back story about themselves or the town. If their morale fell they would complain about certain other members of your party or reversely compliment certain others. If their morale fell too low they would leave your group taking any equipment you gave them with them. Eventually you might be able to find them again somewhere new.
The game oblivion included a little mini-game in which you could try complimenting, joking, intimidating, or something else I don't remember, to get NPCs to like you. This was important for obtaining quest information or getting better deals from merchants, there were also numerous escort quests like so many games at one point they also had follower characters such as a mercenary that could follow a few basic instructions (attack with magic/attack with melee/etc.) similar to pets in many games.
There are several MMO games out currently that allow you to level specific character skills while offline through the use of "jobs" (I believe EVE online, and City of Heroes are a couple of examples of this). Mortal Online has passive learning skills "skills learned by studying a book" or similar but only while online.
Another interesting game in development, the Secret World, has had different puzzles revealing tidbits of information (Mortal Online did a bit of this as well with their timer background images). Its just another example of offline gameplay that could be looked at.
A Tiered Game Structure
To make a game like this work I think it would need to be developed from the start as two separate but integrated games, each with their own appeal. Each portion could conceivably stand alone, what you did in one could effect the other but you would not necessarily have to play both if only one style of game play interested you.
The browser portion alone would be free possibly with advertisements or a bonus coin shop (idk) but could give you access only to semi-intelligent mobs (goblins, orcs, sator, tengu, etc.). As your mob grew more powerful you could distribute skill points: specialize in a specific weapons, work on defense through armor or evasion, work on stealth, develop the ability to command other mobs (these would be in limited supply, so another player with a higher leadership skill could possibly steal your minions away from you). You could order your mob to any area of your choosing. An intelligence stat might control how many orders you can give to or reports you can receive from your mob.
The benefit of all this for the MMO player paying a subscription fee, is first off more intelligent, less predictable mobs. When combined with the NPC companion system the two games really become one. I imagine a few different types and levels of companions:
1. Your AFK player character and alts - this could have a slow leveling job curve. You would need to spend actual time resting and feeding your character. Reading a book would take time (possibly based on a reading skill); or pay a teacher character to train you, instead of the classic you have been trained +1 swordsmanship instant pop-up message, your character would be training in a dojo. The thing to consider though is that while some areas will be relatively safe because of guards, the way I envision it no where would be completely safe. You have to be aware that some of the logged in characters will take great delight in killing your automated character. I would imagine Assasin builds could be much more literal in their purpose.
2.Companions - these would be like the Mount and Blade guys. You could equip them as you please, give them basic orders, perhaps even edit what they say as greetings to players they like or dislike or when attacked or killed. Their loyalty and how many you could retain would be based on your player characters leadership skill combined with your followers morale. They would do the same type of jobs player characters did while afk; craft a thousand swords, fish, eat, or sleep, mine, build housing, mind a store. Things could get even more interesting if you were able to hire them out or do services for your guild.
3.Associates - These would be guys who would do things for you, but are not your followers. For example you might bribe a guard to let all of your guild members pass by without inspection and alert your account and guild when an enemy guild or player shows up. He might except some weapons from you but would only use what was deemed appropriate for a guard. Another example might be shop keeper or other dedicated professional. They will work for you but only at what they do, selling, mining, fishing, etc. These guys could also have morale, or vices that require careful management to keep them from ripping you off. Other players with more money or higher Charisma might also be able to steal them from you.
and of course finally the Mobs
Some of their behaviors could be guild based. Mobs would attack all humans, but human automated characters could be given different orders based on if a guild were their own, marked as allied or marked as enemy. To make this more interesting guild identifiers could be made more complicated and they could fall into one of two categories overt or covert. Overt guild identifiers could include things like banners, embossed shields, signet rings or seals. These however could be looted. Covert guild identifiers could work like an emote that requires the player to be online. These could also be compromised by an enemy player with a spying skill and then a refreshed covert signal or password would have to be desiminated to the guild.
Keeping the Balance and Fun
For a game like this to succeed both parts would need to be fun and entertaining, and neither could be seen as "ruining it" for the other. This would be despite part of the fun in both halves would be precisely "ruining it" for the others. Watching some automated character going through a repetitive task as he levels his whatever skill, chopping off their head and disappearing into the shadows of the rafters as more automated guards run about searching for you - fun. Figuring out a prime location to drag an entire pack of mobs, influencing battles watching enemy guilds fall prey to an army of goblins- more fun.
Balance is tricky. I think mobs should not be able to distinguish human guilds. Mobs and Associates should be on Perma-death. Companion to leadership skill points should be a very low ratio. Alts should be limited.
Managing Associates and Companions should be a tricky buisness. They should have personalities, take offense to certain things dialogue options or other associates, steal, or wander off and get drunk.
Thats all for now.

On 3 May the people of Birmingham will decide if they want a directly elected mayor and, if so, on 15 November 2012 they will decide who they want. There has been so much debate about what an elected mayor could achieve for Birmingham and the West Midlands, perhaps it is a good time to look at the evidence and compare it to the aspirations.
Do mayoral authorities perform better?
Audit Commission performance data show that some mayoral authorities did improve significantly between 2005 and 2007. For example, North Tyneside and Hackney rose from poor to three-star councils. This may well demonstrate the benefits of strong leadership and accountability for councils which historically had poor political leadership but correlation is not the same as causation.
Many non-mayoral authorities also improved at the same time and there were exceptions to the pattern of improvement in mayoral authorities. Doncaster and Stoke spring to mind: Stoke is a complex story, but Doncaster is a classic example of how poor leadership and bad behaviour on the part of an elected mayor can undermine a town. Its residents turned to an elected mayor in the hope of a new start but merely replaced widespread corruption with wholesale under-performance and negligence.
Does directly accountable leadership make a difference?
Research suggests mayors have been able to use their personal leadership to good effect but so have the leaders of non-mayoral authorities. Some cities and city regions such as Manchester and Leeds have done well in spite of not having a mayor.
What can a mayor do for Birmingham and the West Midlands?
Birmingham has long been perceived as an underperforming city. This is partly because of local political and economic history, and partly because of regional issues such as a traditional resistance on the part of the other six West Midlands authorities to Birmingham exerting "too much" influence. You can hear the hackles rise as potential mayoral candidates set out their region-wide ambitions for the role.
Cities are complex constructs: where does the city of Birmingham end and the West Midlands region begin? Many proponents of the benefits of elected mayors, such as Lord Heseltine – who has been making the case since 1991 – and Lord Adonis, talk about the benefits of regional or metro-mayors. But that isn't the model we're getting here (in contrast to the role of the police and crime commissioner, who will be elected on the same day with a region-wide remit).
What can mayors do?
The powers of mayors under Local Government Act 2000 are limited: to be elected for four years; to decide the size and membership of the cabinet and delegation of power; to set the budget and strategic policy framework of the council, which can be rejected by a two-thirds of the council members. Hardly a demagogues' charter.
So what can a mayor do for Birmingham that a council leader can't do?
Under the Localism Act 2011, the coalition government is planning to devolve some "local public functions" to councils. Cities will bid for new powers and freedoms on; economic growth, infrastructure, housing, planning and skills and employment. Cities with mayors will automatically be considered for these new powers and freedoms because they can demonstrate "strong, accountable leadership" – but they will not be granted automatically.
Might it be better to focus attention on the local, regional and national barriers to achievement in Birmingham and the West Midlands and tackle them collectively, rather than expecting the mayor to overcome them alone by heroism and enormous force of personality? It's a big ask.
