Folk Mindfulness Comes To mActivity
"Good evening," Sylvia Tyson's alto coasted over a growing crowd at mActivity Fitness. "Long time, no see … I'm going to start by taking you back to those wonderful days of yesteryear: the '50s."
Saturday night, nearly 70 guests filled mActivity's Nicoll Street cafe for the latest iteration of the East Rock Concert Series, the young brainchild of music manager Fernando Pinto. As raindrops licked large, street-facing windows that glowed blue, green and pink, Scarlet Rivera positioned her violin between her chin and shoulder, and Randall Kempf ran his fingers along the thick strings of his electric bass.
The band struck up a song called "Same Old Thing," a tune that recalled "boys in their daddies' trucks/ high heeled girls with their hair pinned up."
It was an interesting song to start with. Tyson walks the line of doing the "same old thing" delicately and skillfully. As one half of the famed 1960s duo, "Ian & Sylvia," the musician made her mark on popular folk music when it was at its height, and she still plays some of the duo's most popular hits. As she dug into her set, she drew on those old favorites, including "You Were on My Mind" and "Four Strong Winds."

But since then, her career has spanned decades and media. Her works have been in print, on the theatrical stage, on radio and television, and her musical collaborators are varied and many. Saturday, her focus did not appear to be on her stardom, but honesty; not on her persona, but on the desire to explore life's truths.
The folk storytelling tradition is ingrained in Tyson's music. Ages, locations, and memories are recalled in her lyrics, and she regarded the room as one filled with friends gathered for an intimate evening.
In contrast, the billing of the event made very clear the musical pedigree of the two women at the front of the group. Rivera is well-known for her road and studio work with Bob Dylan, but the feel of the evening was not dictated by the titanic pasts that these musicians have had. On stage, she discussed the musical maturation that occurred after, not during, her time working on the "Rolling Thunder Revue," "Desire" and "Hard Rain."
She talked about her subsequent journey exploring musical styles of the rest of the world, and the new age and roots genres. She accompanied Tyson's songs, added a few selections of her own, and gracefully thanked the evening's sound engineer Hannah for a job well done. These two women were neither riding the wave of previous success, nor the coattails of former collaborators, they had songs to share and an audience of people who wanted to listen.
As she mesmerized the crowd, Tyson sang naturally. Her presentation was undoctored, a trademark of her style. In her songs are stories about unexpected people—the early women of the Calgary Stampede, her father who fought in both World Wars, Janet and her garden. But within those songs she sings of the generalities that can be found in both the simplicities and the difficulties of the human experience.
In "Spring of 45," written and performed with her group Quartette, her character recalls that "so many lives were changed forever/so many young men lost and gone." In "Pepere's Mill" she sings "the wheel turns round/the corn is brown/there'll be bread on the table in the morning."
Rivera followed the form of the songs; her notes hanging heavily, deftly among chords of Tyson's guitar and Kempf's tactful bass lines. Only at the right moments would she add a flourish of flare. When Tyson played her accordion, Rivera shifted shapes and danced lightly along.
That feeling—intimate but informal—is what the series is all about. "True fans will pass the word on and on," said Pinto at one point in the eventing.
It's likely they will. At intermission and at the close of the concert, the three musicians did not retire, but mingled with those who had come to see them. One attendee named Noah said he'd driven all the way from Boston to see Tyson and Rivera—that he would pass the word on. Others had walked there from around the neighborhood. They, too, said they would pass the word on.
Next up in the series, Japanese singer/songwriter Miwa Gemini and Shelton-based Lys Guillorn come to mActivity on Aug. 19th. Then on August 26th, Fanna-Fi Allah will bring their sounds of traditional Sufi Qawwali music. For the series' full schedule, click here.

New species of extinct heron discovered at North Florida fossil site
Fossil is the oldest-known scorpion
Scientists studying fossils collected 35 years ago have identified them as the oldest-known scorpion species, a prehistoric animal from about 437 million years ago.
100 million years in amber: Researchers discover oldest fossilized slime mold
Most people associate the idea of creatures trapped in amber with insects or spiders, which are preserved lifelike in fossil tree resin.
When the bones of an ancient heron were unearthed at a North Florida fossil site, the find wasn't made by researchers but by two Florida Museum of Natural History volunteers.
A previously unknown genus and species, the heron has been named Taphophoyx hodgei (TAFF'-oh-foy-ks HAHJ'-ee-eye) in honor of landowner Eddie Hodge, who has allowed Florida Museum researchers and volunteers to excavate the site on his property near Williston since his granddaughter first discovered fossils there in 2015.
Nearly 700 volunteers have worked at the Montbrook fossil site, collectively digging more than 12,000 hours.
"You couldn't have a better group of people," Hodge said. "There's a lot of negativity when we get home and turn on the television, but it does you good to be out here seeing volunteers get excited and be positive about something."
The bones used to identify the new heron were found by volunteers Toni-Ann Benjamin and Sharon Shears.
Taphophoyx hodgei – whose genus name means "buried heron" in Greek and Latin – is the first new species to be described from Montbrook. Many other new species from the fossil-rich site await publication.
"It's invigorated the local fossil community," said David Steadman, Florida Museum curator of ornithology and lead author of the description of T. hodgei. "One of the greatest values of Montbrook is that it's been such a collaborative learning tool."
Because Montbrook is such an intensively worked fossil site, processing the finds takes the teamwork of scientists and amateurs. Hodge oversees much of the land management that Montbrook requires, including moving dirt and managing drainage. In addition to working outdoors at the site, volunteers prepare and catalog specimens in the Florida Museum's vertebrate paleontology lab.
A good day of digging requires between 10 and 20 days to process in the lab, said Jonathan Bloch, Florida Museum curator of vertebrate paleontology and a coordinator of the fossil dig.
"We simply couldn't do all this work without help from the public," Bloch said. "Volunteers are not only the backbone of the dig, they're actively contributing to scientific discoveries."
Steadman and then-master's student Oona Takano used the characteristics of the bird's scapula and coracoid, two bones that intersect to support the bird's shoulder, to determine the relationship between this ancient heron and modern lineages.
They believe T. hodgei is most closely related to today's tiger-herons, which live in Mexico and Central and South America. They have given the new species the common name "Hodge's tiger-heron."
"This heron adds to this big suite of aquatic birds we're finding at Montbrook," Steadman said. "We're seeing the same families of birds you'd see around wetlands today, but they're all extinct species. The fun challenge is finding out how closely related any given species at Montbrook is to the birds that we see flying and swimming around Florida today. Even after three and a half years, we're nowhere near diminishing returns."
Takano, now a University of New Mexico Ph.D. student, said that bird fossils are prized finds, particularly at a site like Montbrook where the majority of fossils belong to young gomphotheres, extinct elephant-like mammals.
"In general, bird bones don't fossilize well because they're hollow," she said. "It's relatively rare to find well-preserved bird bones at all and even rarer to find articulated bones," referring to bones that would have locked together in the bird's body.
Most Florida fossil sites are limestone sinkholes or pitfall traps created by ancient predators to capture their prey. At Montbrook, researchers have been able to glimpse a different type of ancient environment: the riverine ecosystem. Five million years ago, T. hodgei would have lived alongside saber-toothed cats, rhinoceroses and horses that frequented a river that likely weaved through a grassland, Steadman said.
Researchers believe the ancient river's current scattered decomposing animal remains, making this find of two intersecting bones even more significant. Steadman said naming the species after Hodge was a natural choice.
"Through the kindness of his heart and being interested – just wanting to know what's in the ground on his land – Eddie let us in and one thing led to another." Steadman said. "Naming this heron after Eddie is a minor part of treating him right because he's been treating us right."
"He's genuinely interested in the fossils we're finding," Takano added.
The Florida Museum recruits volunteers for the Montbrook dig in fall and spring and regularly encourages volunteers and students to become involved, often resulting in meaningful fossil discoveries. Finds are shared on the Florida Museum Montbrook Fossil Dig Blog.
"Volunteers are fascinated by this stuff – it's really their passion," Hodge said. "There's a satisfaction in being able to provide something like this for people interested in higher learning, and you don't get the chance to do that very often. You never know what you can find. Just the next little spoonful of dirt, brush it back and there it is."

When recovering from infidelity, emotional flooding will most certainly be a piece to the puzzle. When flooding arises, chaos seems to ensue. If you've ever flooded emotionally, you know it's excruciating. Many describe it as an influx of almost uncontrollable emotions where flight or fight seems to rule the day and our heart rate spikes at least 20%. Attempting to curtail this flooding with a simple "get over it" or "what's wrong with you" or "lookout, here we go again" ensures certain disaster. It will only intensify heart rates, emotional flooding and instability and the speed in which things like dishes, silverware, books, cell phones or anything else within arm's reach is thrown by the spouse who is flooding.
Flooding is real. If you're an unfaithful, I assure you this is not an excuse for chaotic violent behavior. But imagine your worst memory. I mean the worst memory you can fathom where you felt betrayed, abandoned, raped, molested, you name it. Then play it over and over in your head. Then think of a million ways this memory can be replayed and triggered between 70 and over 100 different times a day and see how it feels. I could go on, but I'm sure you get it.
When flooding occurs, the opportunity at healthy, constructive communication is gone. You or your spouse is flooding and typically, the spouse who is being flooded upon if you will, feels completely helpless. The worst thing the floodee can do if you will, is to react to the flooding and try to either one up the flooder, or try and engage them at their level. They simply won't be able to act rationally and will not listen to rational thought. They may not think that or agree with that statement at the time, but in retrospect many admit to such overwhelming emotion. They are flooding and are in a hemisphere you cannot reach, speaking a language you cannot compete with, and are at a heart rate which is running faster than you can imagine. So what do you do? Here are a few suggestions to handle flooding.
1. Purchase low cost but efficient heart rate monitors. Once they get to 100 beats per minute, take a time out. All rational and reasonable conversation is now lost and you're probably going to say or do things depending on who you are, which you both will regret very shortly. Nothing good happens after 100 beats per minute when you're arguing.
2. Take a thirty minute time out immediately and go for walk, get some water, fresh air and time to simply cool down. Maybe it's a fast walk or simply sitting on a bench and letting your heart rate calm down, your anger subside and allowing clarity to reenter the picture. Thirty minutes may not be enough and it may take an hour or two, or even later that night or in the morning. Have a time out protocol.
3. A time out protocol needs to be established before flooding ensues. When one spouse feels like things are out of control, they need to take a time out. There needs to be a hand gesture of some sort that will suffice for the signal. Either Samantha or I would put our hands up slowly and say "I'm taking a time out." At that point, we agreed, we were done, right then, right there. The spouse that raises their hands is the one who leaves the room. No following the spouse who called time out. No trying to get the last word or jab in. No violating this procedure or else more trust will be lost, more damage will be done, more confidence will be lost and you will not have a safe protocol to utilize to minimize the chaos you both are probably stuck in.
1. Try to find something else to focus on such as reading a book or lying down.
2. Do not think about what you're going to say when you come back together.
3. Don't obsess about how angry you feel at the other person during this time. Rather, it's a time to cool down so the discussion later can be more productive.
1. Both people focus on what aspects of the solution will work (rather than focusing on what won't work).
2. Together, they choose parts of both solutions that will make both parties satisfied.
3. Use "I" statements. Be flexible and look to compromise. Listen to see if you can understand how your mate is feeling and communicate your understanding.
3. Criticize the other person for their idea.
4. Eye roll or shake your head in disapproval non-verbally.
Wow flooding it hit me one time real hard at least for me it was bad and what pit me over the top was my wife just sitting there not saying a thing I yelled then I slammed the car door! How bad is that I could not believe I did that I was so shocked that I did that, that it stopped the flooding right away it scared the s..t out of me I had never done anything like that before it also brought me to a real understanding about myself I knew I was healed not long after and have not been triggered again even when I found my wife over her ap's house two times after that. I can not tell you how to get over it because everyone is different. But for me that time got me thinking just how much I had let things get out of control that I could handle it if I just redirect the feelings from the person (my wife) to the situation if I focused on her then just about anything she would do would only make things worse but instead I would thing of what just happened and not on her I know this sounds a little strange but it is kind of what we talk about in Married for life focuse on the emotions of the argument not the person and that is kind of what I had started doing. It has worked for me.

Tampa Bay Rays Reportedly Interested in Sam Dyson
By David Hill

The Tampa Bay Rays are still looking to shore up their bullpen. One option may be former Texas Rangers closer Sam Dyson, who was designated for assignment yesterday.
It is as though the past three years never happened. After emerging as a solid reliever in 2014, and becoming the Texas Rangers closer last season, Sam Dyson struggled mightily this year. Fresh off his appearance in the World Baseball Classic, Dyson imploded, posting a 1-6 record with a 10.80 ERA and a 2.580 WHiP in his 16.2 innings, walking 12 batters with just seven strikeouts.
However, that track record of success has to be enticing. As such, the Rangers are fully expecting that they will be able to trade their former closer, who they designated for assignment. According to Marc Topkin, the Tampa Bay Rays are amongst the teams interested in acquiring Dyson's services.
#Rays will look into RHP Sam Dyson, Tampa product to be DFA'd by #Rangers. May be just usual due diligence, or could end up being more

As Topkin says, this could be nothing more than the Rays doing their due diligence and looking into any possible upgrade that would be available. Yet, pairing Dyson with pitching coach Kevin Hickey, who has overseen numerous reclamation projects, is an interesting idea. If he can work his magic again on Dyson, the former closer could be the missing piece in the Rays bullpen.
After all, Dyson is coming off of three excellent seasons. In those 179 games, spanning 187.2 innings, he posted a 2.45 ERA and a 1.215 WHiP, striking out 159 batters against 59 walks. It certainly makes one wonder what went wrong this season with Dyson.
That is the question the Rangers are asking themselves as well. Somehow, somewhere, the pitcher who solidified their bullpen last season when current Ray Shawn Tolleson imploded, suffered the same fate. And again, a former Rangers closer could find his way down to Tampa Bay, hoping to turn his career around.
Next: Stone Crabs have three All Stars
That Tampa Bay Rays are interested in Sam Dyson. If they can bring him back to his previous form from the last three seasons, he could be quite the steal.

Torbjorn Blomdahl WIns Supercup And Player of the Year
Torbjorn Blomdahl, at 53, has once again reached another milestone at the top of world 3-cushion billiards, winning both the Supercup in Antwerp Belgium and being named Player of the Year. The Swedish champion himself said, "This was my best year ever."
And what a year it was. Beginning with his winning the Swedish National Championship in January, Blomdahl went on to win the European Championship in April, The World Cup in Porto in July and capped the year off with his winning the World Championship in December. Blomdahl finished the year ranked number one in the world. He seems to get stronger as his career rolls on, to the delight of three cushion billiard fans around the world.
With his World Championship win Blomdahl earned the right to meet the overall 2015 World Cup winner Dani Sanchez of Spain in the Supercup in Antwerp Belgium. This prestigious and much anticipated event is held each year in conjunction with naming the winner in the voting for Player of the Year. This year it was all Blomdahl as he defeated Dani Sanchez 4-1 in the short format race to 7 point best 4 of 7 games. And then came a moment even more rewarding as Blomdahl learned he had been voted Player of the Year by a jury of the 50 best players in the word. Also nominated were Dani Sanchez and Tayfun Tasdemir of Turkey. Being recognized as the best by his peers is an honor he has enjoyed twice before, but Torbjorn acknowledged that it was especially gratifying in this era of such strong play by so many.
In addition to the Supercup match and Player of the Year ceremony, the event had an exhibition match between Blomdahl and Sanchez as they faced former world champions Ludo Dielis and the great Raymond Ceulemans. Both the Supercup match and exhibition match can be seen by premium members on Kozoom. Thanks to Kozoom for the pictures and for their excellent event coverage.

Saul has a new chore: cleaning the hockey rink before practice. He has to wake up very early to do so, but he never needs an alarm clock to get up. Saul loves breathing the crisp morning air. In secret, when nobody is watching, he'll sometimes practice moving "frozen horse turds" across the rink with a stick. Late at night, before he falls asleep, he imagines himself becoming a great hockey player one day. In these moments, Saul no longer feels so lonely or frightened.
Saul slowly, secretly teaches himself how to play hockey. The game gives him a sense of purpose that he's never felt before, and symbolizes his attempts to make sense of his life. Finally, hockey gives Saul something to aspire to, and keeps him from being consumed by despair, as many of his classmates seem to have been.

It has been about a year and half since I ran my first, and only, marathon. I have run a couple half marathons since then, but in the past six months my running schedule has become minimal. In all honesty in the busyness of a new position this year, my entire workout schedule has suffered greatly. I am in much worse shape and many pounds heavier, so I have decided to make working out more of a priority again and thus started running more in the past few weeks.
As I have started running again, I have found that my mind is still viewing those, short, recent runs like I did when I was training for the marathon. During that training time thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen miles was no big deal and a five mile run as a short day. Now, even though my mind views a five or six mile run as nothing, my body is sending a very different message. In all honesty, my mindset is really all that is getting me through a five mile run because my body is screaming at me constantly during that 40 minutes of time.
I plan on running another half marathon in August and look forward to a time when my body has caught back up to my mindset. I know there are a lot of miles ahead to get me back there, but I am not worried…I have been there before.
This idea makes me think forward to summer break. What else can I condition myself for this summer? What can I spend the next eight weeks doing, so that when I get back to school next year I have the same marathon mindset that is getting me through my runs.
The school year can be long and it can be exhausting at times. We are all feeling this drain here at the end of another 180 day school year. I hope you will find time this summer to reflect on the year and pick a couple things that you can focus on this summer, helping you to build a mindset that will get you through the tiring times next year.
I know I already have some important downtime scheduled and I am starting to put together my summer reading list. These things, along with a few conferences and retreats I plan on attending will help me prepare my mind for next year. When my body (or mind) wants to quit next year, the time I invest this summer will get me through it.
What is your plan? What do you plan on doing this summer to not just get you to next year, but to make you better for next year?
Start a book club…join twitter for the first time…read…write a blog…go to some summer PD…whatever it may be, do not just let summer happen to you, make it happen for you! Realize that your summer holds the key to a positive and productive school year. I am excited for a bit of a break, but I am also looking forward to another amazing school year of learning, growing, and sharing!
Have an amazing summer break!!

«I Think We're Alone Now» — песня, написанная Ритчи Корделлом. В 1967 году она стала хитом для группы Tommy James & the Shondells, попав на четвёртое место американского чарта, где продержалась семнадцать недель. Музыкальный критик Лестер Бэнгс назвал сингл «апофеозом бабблгам-попа». Корделл написал, а также помогал записывать несколько песен для Джеймса, в том числе последующий сингл «Mirage», «Run, Run, Baby, Run» (би-сайд «Mirage») и песню 1968 года «Mony Mony». «I Think We're Alone Now» стала одной из самых успешных песен Томми Джеймса и прозвучала в одноий из сцен слэшера 1980 года «День Матери».

С тех пор песню много раз перепевали. В 1987 версия в исполнении 16-летней певицы Тиффани достигла первого места в США, Великобритании, Канаде и Новой Зеландии. Также были популярны и другие кавер-версии, в том числе The Rubinoos (№ 45 в США, 1977) и Girls Aloud (№ 4 в Великобритании, 2006).

Версия Тиффани

К песне вновь пришла слава в 1987 году, когда американская певица Тиффани записала кавер-версию для своего дебютного одноименного альбома. Её версия две недели возглавляла американский чарт Billboard Hot 100 (и неожиданно была вытеснена другим кавером на Tommy James & the Shondells — «Mony Mony» в исполнении Билли Айдола) и три недели — английский чарт. Спустя 13 недель после дебюта сингл Тиффани стал четырежды платиновым в США. Видеоклип был снят в одном из торговых центров Америки, по которым гастролировала юная Тиффани.

Когда Джордж Тобин, менеджер Тиффани, дал ей послушать оригинальную версию песни, ей не понравилась идея перепеть её, потому что, по её мнению, она не была достаточно современной. Однако она стала её самой популярной песней.

«I Think We're Alone Now» не был первым синглом с дебютного альбома Тиффани. Первым синглом был «Danny», но радиостанции решили ставить в эфир «I Think We're Alone Now». Он стал хитом на радио, а также 18-м в списке самых продаваемых синглов 1987 года и 32-м — в Австралии в 1988.

Версия Тиффани упоминается в песне альтернативной группы Weezer «Heart Songs» на альбоме 2008 года Red Album, однако в песне упоминается, что «I Think We're Alone Now» пела Дебби Гибсон — ещё один кумир подростков того времени.

Видеоклип

По сюжету девушки проворачивают аферу в казино — Сара заигрывая с мужчиной, снимает с его шеи цепочку, на которой висит ключ, Надин уносит добычу в бокале с шампанским и отдает его официантке Николе. Никола с бокалом идет на сцену к фокуснице Шерил и та заставляет её магическим образом исчезнуть. Когда мужчина обнаружил пропажу, солистки уже открывают ключом кейс, полный долларов.
У видео есть три разных концовки. В первой девушек ловят после того, как они открывают кейс, во второй Кимберли Уолш распахивает перед преследователями блузку и те падают в обморок, а в третьей девушки успешно скрываются с кейсом и лежа на кровати обсыпаются деньгами.
