50 year old single malt from one of the most well-respected Scotch whisky distilleries - Glenfiddich. This extraordinarily well-aged expression was drawn from a pair of casks which slumbered the extensive Glenfiddich warehouses for half a century, and married together for six months in an American oak barrel by Malt Master Brian Kinsman. It comes presented in hand-blown bottles alongside an aptly decadent presentation case. Frighteningly rare and exciting.


Foam Rollers – You simply place the foam roller on the ground and roll your achy muscles over it so that you can give those hard-to-reach muscles a deep massage. Foam rolling helps stretch out tight muscles, ligaments, and tendons to help improve your posture and balance.
Massage Balls – Massage balls these days usually come with bumpy or dimpled surfaces that you simply roll over your muscles. You simply press and roll the ball against your sore muscles to alleviate any pain, tension, or tightness. They're great for hard-to-reach areas as well. You just place the ball between a hard surface like a wall, floor, or chair and the area you want to massage. If you need more pressure in some areas, you can opt for a tennis ball or a golf ball.
Massage Sticks – These are perfect for massaging larger areas, especially for taller people and those that are bigger. When using a massage stick for self-massage, you simply roll it across the target area for 10 up to 20 times, gradually increasing the pressure with each pass to help soothe, stretch, and lengthen sore muscles. The best thing about sticks is that they can be used for all muscle groups such your shoulders, arms, neck, lower and upper back, glutes, hamstrings, quads, feet, and calves.
Massage Knobs – These knobs are usually made of wood or plastic and have knobby or raised sections that enable you to put pressure on your trigger points or over knotted muscles to release them.
Now that you're aware of the various devices that you can use for your self-massage, it's extremely vital to practice some caution. While self-massage is perfectly safe, there might be instances where it may do more harm than good. For instance, it's not a good idea to do self-massage if you have a bleeding disorder, vein infection of phlebitis, soft tissue infection or cellulitis, osteoporosis, contagious skin disease, or rheumatoid arthritis flare. With this in mind, if you are uncertain about any chronic pain or injuries that a massage could worsen, discuss your plans with your doctor first just to be on the safe side. Once your doctor has cleared you for self-massage, you need to do it on a regular basis to prevent sore and tight muscles from coming back.

The above timetable is very approximate. Allow at least 15 minutes leeway either side of each arrival time.
Can I get the bus at Kardemyli and get off at Tseria? We aim to walk down , across the gorge, up to the hotel at Exchori and back to Kardemyli? Would that be possible?
I'm afraid the Express takes 2hrs, 45mins, so you miss the connection by just 15 minutes. Crazy.
Yep, just pay on the bus. You will arrive in Kalamata with plenty of time to sort out your online booking. I have never used this service though- I usually phone to book seats which requires you to be there half an hour prior to departure- which you will be. KTEL Bus Service- 27210 28581 if you want to phone. I do not think there is a reduction for children I'm afraid.
Hi! We are staying in Kardamilli. We are wondering when the busses go from here to Kalamata, and back. Thank you!
Refer to the timetable above, Maja. It is up to date.
We are in stoupa and need to head to diros tomorrow. Is there any bus from stoupa to diros or near diros we could take?
The local bus terminates at Oitylo- a good 20 minute drive from the caves. I'm afraid I have no information on possible connection times. Oitylo is a very small place, so there may not be taxis waiting. I would recommend a taxi all the way.
Hi. Does the bus run from Kalamata Airport?
No it doesn't. It starts from the main bus terminal in Kalamata.
Hi, roughly how much is the bus fare from Stoupa to Kalamili Please?
We are hiking in Mani, we are going to end our trip in Areopoli. Does any bus exists from there to kalamata which doesn't passes by Sparti?
The only way to do what you want is to get to Oitylo where the bus to Kalamata originates. Oitylo is only a 10-15 minute taxi ride from Areopolis.
Go there to enjoy it - eat, drink and feel this magic space.

Life After Life | Sep 2001
Life After Life
William C. Gough and Adrienne Juliano
Marshall Pease always emphasized that life consisted of choices, and a non-choice was a choice. On June 3, 2001 Marshall Pease, FMBR Board Member and Newsletter Editor, with his family gathered around, chose to personally disconnect his life support equipment and leave the Ice domain to enter the Fire domain. Before he died Marshall completed his book on the Norse mythology of Fire and Ice and its relationship to our world. In Marshall's words: "The fundamental assumption is that we, each of us, is what I call a Fire spirit who has chosen to incarnate in this world -- the Ice domain -- in order to explore the possibilities of identity."
In the 1960's while a volunteer in Government sponsored LSD research, Marshall made a deliberate decision to explore the deeper meaning of death. In his autobiography about this experience Marshall wrote this conclusion: "Life requires change, to be life. But change means that that which was, ceases to be. Therefore life requires death. Without death there can be no change; and without change, no life. Death is not only essential to life. It is life, viewed from the other side. They are a single coin. They are the same, one signifying the passing of what was, the other the coming of the future."
After Marshall's death I received a phone call from Adrienne Juliano, a sensitive and channeler. On the following page is an account of her "message" from Marshall. How does one interpret such communications? The last paper that Bob Shacklett and I wrote before Bob's passing was What Science Can and Can't Say About Spirits. The question of the existence of spirits is one that mainline science has painstakingly avoided. The belief in the existence of a spirit world has been a staple element of the human race over thousands of years. What is the research evidence that there might exist a continuity of life after death? There has been more than a century's investigation of channeling and apparitions including work by top physical scientists such as Sir William Crookes and Sir Oliver Lodge and doctors such Arthur Conan Doyle, M.D. the author of the "Sherlock Holmes" stories.
More recent supporting evidence comes indirectly from the field of thanatology, the scientific study of death and dying. A related area of research that supports the existence of a possible afterlife is out-of-body experiences (OBE's) and especially near-death experiences (NDE's). A recent study of heart attack patients found evidence that consciousness may continue after the brain has stopped functioning and a patient is clinically dead. Studies of comatose patients offers another area of support. Reincarnation research also implies the possible existence of a spirit world. Ivan Stevenson, M.D., has done rigorous research on persons from areas of the world where reincarnation is an accepted belief for over 30 years. He has collected 2,600 reported cases of children who claim to remember a previous life. Last but not least is the research starting in the 1950's using electronic devices to purportedly receive information from the spirit level. This "instrumental communication" research started with recordings on magnetic tape, moved to two way communication via radio like equipment, then to telephone, television, FAX machines, and computers (see www.worlditc.org). Each of the research areas mentioned above are considered controversial. However, when taken in aggregate, Bob and I believe that they justify a serious consideration by science, and therefore have proposed a model that includes the world of spirit in a scientific framework. We all wish Marshall well in his life after life.
William C. Gough, Sep 2001
Marshall Speaks
by Adrienne Juliano
I am writing this on Sunday morning June 24, 2001, the day after attending the Celebration of Life Memorial for Marshall Pease. Almost a decade ago to the day, I became a reader of tarot-like cards, and then a "channeler." Last year, however, it seemed time to stop working with the cards, so I put them away without questioning whether it was permanently or only for a while. But this morning, events began to unfold in such a way that I knew I would have to use the cards again -- for I was beginning to sense Marshall's "presence." It became palpable to the point where I had to get the cards from their cache and start shuffling them. After doing a card "spread" and waiting for a few seconds, a most revelatory -- and awesome! -- reading began. Herewith the results, card by card in quick succession, as if "dictated" by Marshall: 1) I am journeying home, to the Land of the Fjords. I am on a boat, sailing the inland waterways. 2) I am dancing the rhythmic dance of the shaman. Other shamans are nearby. 3) I am entering the Land Where Dreams Come From. 4) I am returning to my roots, far to the north. 5) I can see many stones ("runes") cascading from the Source of All Creation. 6) I have a "totem animal," a huge whale from the northern waters. It said it is there to guide me. 7) I am being released from my body. I am no longer confined to my personality. I am one with all of Creation. Everything I have learned is available to all people. All they have to do is open the door....
What a meaningful experience! Deep emotions arose as I related all of this to Bill Gough over the phone shortly afterward. And though I am sad at the thought of not being with Marshall "in the flesh" again, I am overjoyed at such a wondrous form of "communication." Despite some trepidation over sharing it in such a public way, I do so with joyous heart.

NESTOR INSTINCTS
Formed more than three decades ago in 1989 only to fall into a slumbering hibernation lasting until last year, cult-followed Swedish hard rock outfit NESTOR decided to reunite, reinvent the iconography of rock and restore its glory in 2021 with their debut album – yes, their debut album – Kids in a ghost town. With friendship as the foundation of this unique, seemingly unbreakable bond, NESTOR are back for good and better than ever!
Today, NESTOR reveals a new rendition of their song "It Ain't Me", off their acclaimed debut album. In this stripped down acoustic version, the band shows that they are a jack of all trades, able to transform their beloved old-school hard rock into timeless and heartfelt adaptations.
NESTOR states:
"'It Ain't Me' is all about unanswered love. In the end the love you make is equal to the love you take!"
Watch the new music video for "It Ain't Me" HERE
NESTOR embraces influence from the 80s with a sense of nostalgia and authenticity. With glossy production, NESTOR takes you straight back to the golden age of rock music, openly displaying their influences – from Bon Jovi and Aerosmith to Journey and Foreigner. With over 30 years of existence, NESTOR turn back time while being one of the hottest newcomers of modern rock music, with millions of streams on Spotify and hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube to boot, even having shared stages with the almighty ALICE COOPER, hard rock powerhouse H.E.A.T. and supporting the legendary KISS in Stockholm on their 2022 stadium tour!
Upon its initial release, NESTOR's acclaimed first album, Kids in a ghost town, sent their fans on a journey back in time to the 80s, both in sound and spirit, as well as with their completely self-produced music videos – all of which spurred a nomination for a Swedish Hard Rock/Metal Grammis-Award! This is an album of such impressive scale in fact, that Napalm Records has decided to re-release Kids in a ghost town as an exclusive Deluxe Edition, set for release on September 30, 2022!
NESTOR Singer Tobias Gustavsson about the re-release of Kids in a ghost town:
"The ambition with the re-release of the album is to extend and deepen the story of NESTOR. By adding three new songs, we're letting the listener once again go back in time and remember how it used to be in the late 80s!"

Click the image (right) to open the Google Sheet of the latest version of the Colour Marks Register.
Explanations of columns and codes and instructions for use can be found on separate sheets, but also see below.
When you open the Google spread sheet you will see 3 tabs in the bottom left hand corner. The left tab shows the date the database was last updated, the middle tab explains the coloums in the spread sheet and the symbols which are used and the right hand tab explains how you can search the spread sheet (see also here).
Once you have opened the Google Sheet you can simply scroll up and down to browse it. For easier searching you can add "Filters" to show only certain values in one or more columns. To enable Filters, first click on the "Data" menu, then "Filter views" and then "Create new temporary filter views". Small down arrows will appear in row 1.
The spread sheet can now be filtered. For example if you are a ringer and want to find all your schemes click on the Filter for surname, click on Clear to untick all names, then scroll down until you find your name and click on that. A list of all your schemes will be shown. For a ringing office who wish to find all schemes on the Register for their country click on the Filter for country and follow the same procedure.
If you have seen a colour-marked wader, you can use multiple filters to search for the scheme the bird may originate from. For example first filter for the species as described above. Then go to the colour coding and begin filtering. For example if you have seen a encoded ring on the left tibia, then first filter to find all the "er" codes in the flag/ring column, then filter on the left tibia position 1 column which will then show all the schemes with an engraved ring on the bottom part of the left tibia for that species. You should then be able to pick out the scheme you have seen. With practice at using the various filtering possibilities you should be able to find any colour-ringed bird in a few seconds – that is as long as your reading is complete, that rings have not been lost, and that the scheme is registered with us (which all schemes should be!).

La Psallette est un manoir bâti au , situé à Nantes, en France. L'immeuble a été classé au titre des monuments historiques en 1910.

Localisation
La Psallette se trouve sur le côté sud de la cathédrale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul dans le centre-ville de Nantes. On y accède notamment depuis l'extrémité de l'impasse Saint-Laurent qui donne accès au jardin de la Psallette qui borde le manoir au sud.

Historique

Construit à la fin du , le bâtiment est à l'origine la résidence de l'archidiacre du pays de la Mée.

Il est acquis par le diocèse de Nantes en 1837.

La psallette désigne à l'origine l'école de chant attachée à la cathédrale. Elle a été fondée en 1413 par l'évêque Henri le barbu. Le mot psallette vient du latin  qui signifie étymologiquement « chanter les psaumes » et, au sens plus large, chanter les offices religieux. Au , l'école est contrainte de quitter sa maison à la suite du réaménagement de la place Saint-Pierre toute proche, et s'installe dans le manoir tout en lui transmettant son nom.

Classée au titre des monuments historiques depuis 1910, la Psallette devient peu après propriété de la ville de Nantes dirigée alors par Paul Bellamy.

La façade sud a fait l'objet d'une restauration complète qui s'est achevée au printemps 2014.

Architecture et décor
Le bâtiment, de style gothique, est en tuffeau et granit. Une tourelle, dont la porte en anse de panier est surmontée de deux écussons aux armes de Bretagne, est placée contre le logis principal. À l'intérieur de cette tourelle, un escalier à vis en granit et calcaire est conçu d'une manière inhabituelle à Nantes : le noyau hélicoïdal s'enroule autour d'un vide. Une seconde tourelle, ronde, permet l'accès aux étages supérieurs. Cette tourelle est en encorbellement, et s'appuie sur des corbeaux qui sont façonnés dans un style flamboyant. Au second étage, une grande salle abrite une cheminée monumentale, qui présente un manteau d'hermines sculptées, sous un dais gothique sculpté également.

Jardin de la Psallette
Le jardin donnant sur le côté sud du manoir, d'une superficie de , est accessible depuis l'impasse Saint-Laurent, le cours Saint-Pierre et le cheminement longeant la cathédrale depuis la place Saint-Pierre.

Three Way Shootout Part 2: Resolution
Dustin Abbott
This article will seek to examine what is probably the single biggest burning question for us all: can the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD live up to the superlative standard for sharpness (particularly in the corners) set by the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS? I first want to give a shout-out to Tamron of Canada (Amplis Foto) for providing the copy of the Tamron for this comparison and B&H Photo of New York for providing the 16-35mm f/4L IS and the 16-35mm f/2.8L II for this comparison. The copy of the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 that I use for comparison was purchased from the great people at Amplis Foto a few years ago. Reward these companies that provide the answers to your questions by shopping there. Back to the question of whether or nor the Tamron can optically compare to the Canon…
Before answering that question, let me first say this: There is only one loser in this comparison, and that is the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II. It tells its age in many ways, including very poor performance in the corners, noticeably inferior contrast (even stopped down), poorer flare resistance, and much more chromatic aberrations (both green and purple fringing). One thing that I have learned as a reviewer and one who actually does photography with a huge variety of lenses is that field use is kinder to many lenses than chart testing. Some lenses don't chart very well, but compensate by producing good pictures when actually used. Some of you may own the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II and probably have produced some stunning photos with it. I have certainly seen a number of amazing images from it. If you own it and like it, then just go on enjoying it; the existence of these other lenses doesn't make yours worse! I have had to the same thing with my EF 135mm f/2L despite its optical performance being passed by both the Zeiss APO Sonnar T* 2/135mm and the Samyang 135mm f/2 ED UMC. But when this lens has to go head to head with the new Canon or the new Tamron, it comes away looking pretty bad by comparison (with a few notable exceptions that will show up in the next articles). When I took it and f/4L IS out I could definitely tell a difference between the images. The difference was immediately noticeable when comparing images, as both the sharpness and contrast differences (along with chromatic aberrations) were quickly apparent.
Not so with the Tamron and the f/4L. These are both amazing optical instruments. There is a bit of give and take:
The Canon has better chromatic aberration control (almost none). The Tamron has very little, but more than the Canon.
The Tamron is much better in the vignetting department, with noticeably less shading in the corners. That difference is even more apparent when it is stopped down to f/4.
The Canon is marginally sharper in the extreme corners, with the advantage virtually gone by the time the Tamron is stopped down to f/4.
The Tamron produces slightly more micro-contrast.
The Tamron (obviously) produces a more blurred background at or close to minimum focus.
The Tamron (surprisingly) has less distortion.
Most of these differences, however, are only distinguishable by comparing images taken in controlled environments side by side. In fact, it is very hard to distinguish images taken by these lenses from each other except if they are shot with narrow depth of field (the f/4 backgrounds are a little busier due to the smaller aperture). The color rendition is quite similar. There were a few situations where the Canon had some motion blur because it would drop to a lower shutter speed due to the slower maximum aperture, but under normal circumstances I would just raise the ISO to compensate. This is really only an issue if you are a low light situation where that isn't an option.
In subsequent articles we will look closer at:
Coma and shooting the stars
Flare Resistance
This article is going to take a closer look at resolution, however. The best way to visualize this comparison is by watching the video below where I go through the process of acquiring the images and then interactively look at the results. I think you will find this very interesting:
None of these images have received any processing or correction. I shot them as RAW images so that there would be no in camera processing. There is not additional sharpness, chromatic aberration correction, distortion correction, or vignette correction. As you can see, the optical difference between our two top competitors is marginal. Both the Tamron and the Canon f/4L IS offer extremely impressive resolution. If you would prefer to do this comparison yourself, here are the full size images of the Tamron at f/4 (top) and the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS at f/4 on the bottom – if you will click through you can go to a page with the full size images that you can zoom into at any point. One thing to note: the focus point was the poles in the center of the image, which means that at this aperture the bottom corners (and bottom quarter of the image) are not yet in focus, so don't draw any conclusions on any of the lenses from that.
Here are the pertinent crop comparisons. In this series, the Tamron is on the left (as marked) and the Canon is on the right. Other than the heavier vignetting of the Canon and a minute amount of additional fringing on the Tamron, making a visual distinction between the lenses is difficult. I do think the extreme left still slightly favors the Canon, but every other portion of the image is a draw.
As a final comparison, here is the f/4 image from the older Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II:
You can quickly see that the newer lenses outresolve the older f/2.8L lens in a dramatic way. That is particularly true in the corners, but is true throughout the frame as well. The older lens also demonstrates far more chromatic aberrations and reduced contrast. If you want to look further, I am including 1500px copies from the Tamron at 15mm, 20mm, and 30mm in f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, and f/11.
This second series will share similar images from the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS (f/2.8 results won't appear for obvious reasons): 16mm, 20mm, and 31mm in f/4, f/5.6, f/8, and f/11.
The third series shares the images from the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II: 16mm, 21mm, and 31mm in f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, and f/11.
Our final series is from the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8. These images (for obvious reasons) are only at 14mm: f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, and f/11
It may be harder to visualize the differences in these images, so let me summarize my findings: at 15/16mm for the Canon f/4L and Tamron further stopping down is just about either getting a slightly deeper depth of field or because you want a slower shutter speed: they are both essentially perfect sharp at f/5.6 and sharpness doesn't change at f/8 or f/11. f/5.6 is probably a great aperture to choose for landscape work, as it represent something close to peak sharpness across the frame.
As for the Rokinon, it suffers in this comparison for a few reasons. The incredibly heavy vignetting really detracts from the image quality here, but note that this is very easy to correct for in post. The Rokinon also suffers because of its fairly extreme distortion that stretches the edges of the image and gives the appearance of softness. Towards the center of the image it is fairly equal to the other competitors, but is definitely the worst in the extreme corners. Stopped down and corrected it continues to offer great image quality at its bargain price point, but it is not at the level of our top two performers.
At 20mm most of the previous observations remained true, although the Tamron looked better in the corners than the Canon f/4L while the Canon looked better in the center (essentially reversed, which could be a focus variation). When stopped down to f/5.6 and beyond the images were indistinguishable from each other. The older Canon continued to lag behind the other two lenses in an equally obvious way. Test say that the Tamron is actually the sharpest option available in the 21-24mm range.
A 30mm the older Canon seems to fall behind even further. It is quite soft wide open even towards the middle of the frame when compared to the other two. The Tamron is now basically equal to the Canon f/4L even wide open at f/2.8. Both of these lenses are producing a nearly flawless result, however, with great resolution across the frame and excellent contrast.
(Believe it or not, there are a couple of places in later discussions where the older Canon f/2.8 II is a winner, but resolution and overall image quality is not one of them.)
Put simply, while I do feel that there is a very marginal advantage at wider apertures for the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS (at least at 16mm), you can take resolution off the table as a means of making your decision between the new Tamron 15-30 VC and the Canon 16-35mm f/4L IS. In subsequent articles were will compare the differences in other areas that might help you make that decision one way or another, but I don't think that you can declare a clear winner between these two new wide angle zooms when it comes to resolution…unless you need an f/2.8 aperture. The Tamron is the far and away winner of our four contestants in resolution at f/2.8 (though the f/4L concedes this by default). In practical use for most subjects, however, it would be hard to distinguish the images from one lens to the other. The only exception to this rule is close focus shots at maximum aperture. The f/2.8 aperture is going to produce more defused backgrounds, but this also represents a fairly marginal use of these types of lenses. This series of images demonstrates how similar in practice these lenses really are.
If you were unable to tell the difference, here's the clue: Canon images are first in the sequence, Tamron images are second. Most of the Tamron images are at f/2.8 (other than some of the landscape shots), while the similar shots from the Canon are at f/4, of course. I think you will probably agree that in real world use, you aren't going to be tell a resolution difference between these lenses. They are just going to produce great looking, sharp images…period. If you can't produce sharp results with either of these lenses, then I'm afraid you can't blame the glass. These lenses offer the pinnacle of image quality in wide angle zooms. The shootout will continue, but between our main competitors you will probably have to call this one a draw.

The Houston Astros will look for a little more offense on Wednesday to back Justin Verlander when they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the World Series at a warm Dodger Stadium. Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw allowed one run and three hits with 11 strikeouts over seven innings and Justin Turner belted a tiebreaking two-run homer (his fourth of the postseason) in Tuesday's 3-1 victory in Game 1. Kershaw had Houston hitters baffled all night and his quick work made it the shortest World Series Game in 27 years – 2:28. Turner has driven in a franchise-record 14 runs this postseason, and his 26 career RBIs match the club mark set by Hall-of-Famer Duke Snider. Chris Taylor led off the bottom of the first inning Tuesday by slugging the first pitch from Dallas Keuchel 447 feet over the wall in left field for his third homer of the postseason. Astros 3B Alex Bregman went deep for the third time this postseason to account for his team's lone run in Game 1.
Pitchers: Astros – Justin Verlander (4-0, 1.46 ERA) | Dodgers – Rich Hill (0-0, 3.00)
Verlander, who is 4-0 this postseason, was acquired by Houston from Detroit in July, and now owns an 11-5 postseason record. None of those 11 victories, however, occurred in the World Series, where he went 0-3 with a 7.20 ERA in three career starts for the Tigers. Verlander has given Houston exactly what they needed – a second ace alongside Keuchel and a chance for them to claim their first title.
NFL FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS
37-year hold Rich Hill will get the nod in Game 2 and will be making his World Series debut. He is 1-2 with a 3.96 ERA in six career postseason starts. Hill is just happy to be in this spot after his major-league career appeared to be finished in the summer of 2015, when he signed with the independent Long Island Ducks, but 26 of his 50 career regular-season victories have come since then.
[ad id='36449′]
Verlander has been more than the Astros have expected – and those expectations were high – but if Houston can't hit the baseball, it won't matter what the former AL MVP does. Houston has scored just six runs in their last four postseason road games as their stars seem to be overwhelmed by the spotlight in both New York and Los Angeles. Maybe I'm wrong, but if there's one lineup that can solve Verlander, it's the Dodgers.
Pick: Dodgers -109
