60" PALMETTO MEDICINE CABINETVery impressed with the product. Like the soft close doors and color/style of cabinet. Only issue is one of the doors continues to squeak when closing and same door has rubbed off stain in a corner. Other than that it's brought upscale class to our bathroom. Must have a professional install it as it took two people to hang with its weight.
Decent but...I am pleased with the cabinet in general. With the open back of the cabinet two things to consider. Make sure you paint the wall as the back of the cabinet will show and also the hangers that go on the wall to mount the cabinet will most likely not look uniform when you open the cabinet. You will get two small pieces instead of one long board. I had trouble with my cabinet doors closing flush. the shelves interfered and were rubbing the back of the mirror. The soft close hinges are nice but there was no adjustment for that scenario. I bought and installed magnetic clips to catch the door and close it tightly. It will take two people to install, very heavy. I am pleased with it but there are still a few items to be addressed.
I love this cabinetThis is a beautiful, very large cabinet. I love it. The only drawbacks are that there is no back so you are seeing your wall, and the shelves are permanent. To solve these problems, I am putting in extra shelves and some sort of backing material so I can spray and wipe down the back. I think these short comings are understandable considering the price for this size cabinet made of wood. As you can see in the photos, it is very pretty.

Derwent Inktense pencils and blocks provide an easy and versatile way to add color to fabric. They come in a wide range of colors, are blendable, can be applied wet or dry, and are permanent once they have dried.
In addition to providing step-by-step instructions for making wholecloth painted quilts, Ana offers the following tips for using the pencils and blocks:
I love my Inktense Blocks. I use them to set the background for thread painting, scrappy applique, monoprinting and on and on. The Inktense blocks are my favorite go-to material whenever I want to just 'dive-in' and be creative.
I don't know how to keep them on the fabric :( it always washes out
Love the Inktense blocks. And the big plus is they are a permanent ink when dry.
I think the inktense works great! I use them a lot on fabric and paper! I like to use them mainly on projects that are not going to be washed to often, but if you heat set with a hot iron and hand wash with a little synthrapol, I have found they work great! I love them!

Another sensational finding is that every third schoolchild would prefer non-sugary soft drinks. All the pupils did a blind test in which they were instructed to give scores to ten different variants of the same soft drink with varying sweetness and sourness. Surprisingly, as many as 30 per cent of the pupils preferred the variant which contained no sugar at all or very little. "This is new. In other words, soft drinks for children and young people do not always have to contain a lot of sugar," says Bodil Allesen-Holm. On the other hand, 48 per cent of the pupils just couldn't get enough: They gave top marks to the sweetest of the variants. "It may be because many pupils are quite used to drinking a lot of soft drinks and eating a lot of sweets," says Bodil Allesen-Holm.
Funnily enough, girls generally prefer flavours which are not too strong. Boys, on the other hand, tend to like the more extreme flavours. Boys also have a sweeter tooth than girls most of the boys preferred the super sweet soft drink variety. And most boys also gave top marks to the sourest samples.
The study shows that when you ask the children about their likes and dislikes, they actually like fish. As many as 70 per cent of the pupils said they like fish. And you can safely give them exciting foods.

New gameplay footage of BioShock Infinite shows off the first five minutes of the upcoming first-person shooter.
Minor spoilers about the game's opening scene ahead.
There's no doubt that the third installment in the BioShock franchise will remind fans of the game's roots in Rapture.
The protagonist starts off in a boat, during a stormy night. It's not as scary as an oceanic plane crash, but it's still hard not to get bad vibes, while rowing out to the lighthouse.
BioShock veterans know that this isn't the first time the franchise has led a character to a creepy lighthouse in the middle of a storm…
The similarities don't stop there either. The seemingly handknit words of wisdom posted around the lighthouse aren't exactly from Andrew Ryan's book of philosophy, but they still scream BioShock dystopia.
We don't see the actual ascension to Columbia, but the transformation of Booker's chair into what I assume is an elevator of sorts is pretty exciting.
Although everything we see here is more cinematic than actual gameplay, the footage definitely has me excited for the game.
After all of the studio departures and drama surrounding the production, I think we're all anxious to see what the third BioShock game has to offer.

Travel Guide Middle East Jordan
© All Rights Reserved joshester
The Middle East doesn't exactly come across as the most stable area on earth these days, but Jordan has managed to remain a reasonably safe nation. Moreover, Jordan's progressive leadership is playing an important role in encouraging peaceful Middle Eastern relations, as it moves internally towards greater female equality, freedom of press and democratic governance.
But tourists, they don't really come to a nation because of its great leadership do they? It's a good thing, then, that Jordan packs a variety of fantastic attractions into its borders. Best known is Petra, an ancient Arab city which was rediscovered in the 19th century, given airtime in "Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade" and is now the most impressive ruins site in all of the Middle East, with visitor numbers proving it. In Jordan's far southwest corner is Aqaba, which lies along the Gulf of Aqaba and provides what is said to be some of the best diving in the world.
The most prominent early roots of Jordan, as an independent state, can be traced to the Kingdom of Petra, which was founded by the Nabataeans an ancient Semitic people from Arabia who developed the North Arabic Script that evolved into the Modern Arabic script. As a result of the control of regional trade routes between Syria and the Arabian Peninsula, Petra enjoyed independence, prosperity and wealth for hundreds of years until it was absorbed by the Persian Empire and later the Roman Empire which was still expanding in 100 AD. During the Greco-Roman period of influence, a number of semi-independent city-states also developed in Jordan under the umbrella of the Decapolis including: Gerasa (Jerash), Philadelphia (Amman), Raphana (Abila), Dion (Capitolias), Gadara (Umm Qays), and Pella (Irbid).
Later, Jordan became part of the Islamic Empire across its different Caliphates stages including Rashidun Empire, Umayyad Empire and Abbasid Empire. After the decline of the Abbasid, Jordan was ruled by several conflicting powers including the Mongols, the Crusaders, the Ayyubids and the Mamluks until it became part of the Ottoman Empire in 1516.
The country was under British supervision until after World War II. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Jordan occupied the area of Cisjordan now called the West Bank, which it continued to control in accordance with the 1949 Armistice Agreements and a political union formed in December 1948. A political union was legally established by the series of proclamations, decrees, and parliamentary acts in December 1948. Abdullah thereupon took the title King of Jordan, and he officially changed the country's name to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in April 1949.
Jordan and Iraq united in 1958 to form the Arab Federation of Iraq and Jordan under the Hashemite crowns in Amman and Baghdad. A coup later that year would end the union with the execution of the Hashemite crown in Baghdad. The United Arab Republic consisting of Egypt, Syria, and Yemen quickly moved to antagonize Jordan's young King Hussein with Soviet support. King Hussein asked for British and American assistance. The RAF and the USAF was sent to patrol Jordanian airspace and British troops were deployed in Amman. The UAR backed off but then turned to Lebanon. The Americans would later be deployed in Beirut to support Lebanon's pro-Western government.
In 1965, there was an exchange of land between Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Jordan gave up a large area of inland desert in return for a small piece of sea-shore near Aqaba.
Jordan signed a military pact with Egypt in May 1967, and following an Israeli air attack on Egypt in June 1967, Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq continued the Six Day War against Israel. During the war, Israel captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem. In 1988, Jordan renounced all claims to the territory now occupied by Israel but its 1994 treaty with Israel allowed for a continuing Jordanian role in Muslim and Christian holy places in Jerusalem.
King Abdullah II succeeded his father King Hussein in 1999.
Jordan's rapid reinstitution of political and civil liberty continued throughout the 1990s and the 2000s. Economic liberalization policies were especially introduced by King Abdullah II creating one of the freest economies in the Middle East. Political liberalization is occurring but at a slower pace than 1989 and the early 1990s. Liberal policies continue to be predominate in King Abdullah II's reign with economic reforms being the dominate.
On 9 November 2005 Jordan experienced three simultaneous terrorist bombings at hotels in Amman. At least 57 people died and 115 were wounded. "Al-Qaeda in Iraq", a group led by terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, claimed responsibility.
Jordan shares international borders with Israel, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Jordan lies between 29° and 34° N latitude, and 35° and 40° E longitude (a small area lies west of 35°). It's a mostly arid country with fantastic desert sceneries, wadis (dry river beds), rocks, sand and of course there is also the lowest point on earth in the west of the country: the Dead Sea at 420 metres below sea level. The northwestern corner of the country is the highest area in the country, gradually descending in the direction of the Red Sea and Iraq/Saudi Arabia. The Great Rift Valley of the Jordan River separates Jordan, the west bank and Israel. The highest point in the country is Jabal Umm al Dami at 1,854 metres above sea level. Jordan is part of a region considered to be "the cradle of civilization", the Levant region of the Fertile Crescent.
Jordan is divided into 12 governorates. From north to south these are:

Petra is Jordan's most famous tourist attraction. A city hewn by the Nabateans into the rose-coloured rock hidden behind the surrounding mountains the site became famous after reports by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. It probably is one of the most Famous Ruins in the world and therefore is on the Unesco World Heritage List. For more detailed information about visiting this fantastic highlight of Jordan, read the Petra article. The village of Wadi Musa, about 2 kilometres uphill from the main site, is the base for visiting Petra.
Wadi Rum is a valley in the Jordanian desert known for its sand dunes. Parts of the Lawrence of Arabia movie were recorded here. The area is very isolated but can easily be visited as it is not to far from the main Amman to Aqaba road. The only permanent inhabitants are several thousand Bedouin nomads who sometimes function as guides in the area.
The Dead Sea is located in the west of the country and shares part of it with its neighbouring country Israel. This is the lowest point in the world at almost 400 metres below sea level and the water is the most salty in the world as well. In summer it can get very hot here and it is best avoided during this time. The Dead Sea is easily visited in a day or so but some more time deserves to be spent here, as nearby attractions like Madaba (known for its Madaba Mosaic Map, a 6th century mosaic depiction of Jerusalem and parts of the Holy Land on the floor of St. George's church), Bethany-beyond-the-Jordan (Jesus' baptism site) and Mount Nebo are highlights of the country as well. Madaba, a relaxed small town about a 45-minute drive from Amman, can be a good base for exploring the sites around the Dead Sea. Alternatively, backpacker hotels in Amman organise day trips, and you can also rent a car.
The Red Sea borders a small portion of southern Jordan at and near the city of Aqaba and the waters are known amongst divers all over the world for its tremendous variety of marine life. Aqaba itself has some fine hotels to stay at, both upmarket as more modest places, several of which offer snorkeling and diving just offshore.

Jordan has several magnificent ancient ruins other then Petra, especially in the northwest of the country including the ones at Jerash (famous for its roman ruins) and at Umm Qais in the far northwest with great views offered towards Lake Tiberias in Israel and the Golan Heights in Syria. Another one is at Kerak, located on the King's Highway with its magnificently-situated Crusader castle. Amman itself has some fine roman ruins as well, including the ones at citadell hill. Finally, Ajlun in the north of Jordan is famous for its impressive ruins of the 12th century Ajlun castle.
Jordan has a hot, dry and sunny climate, although winters in the north can be quite cold sometimes. The east and south has the warmest weather, with average temperatures during the summermonths of May to September over 35 °C, sometimes hitting 45 °C or more! Nights are still warm. The Dead Sea area can be extremely hot and as it is the lowest point in the world, temperatures can rise to over 50 degrees Celcius in the shade. Winters here are pleasantly warm, around 20 °C or a little more during the day, nights can be relatively chilly.
More inland, winter nights can be downright cold, with temperatures below zero being a real possibility. The northwest is located at higher altitude and its proximity to the Mediterranean make this the wettest and most fertile part of Jordan. Here the annual rainfall can be as much as 800 mm in the highest parts. Temperatures are more pleasant but hot days in summer are possible, averaging around 32 °C. Most of the rain falls in winter, from November to March, while summers are generally quite dry and sunny. Frost and snow in winter is possible in places like Amman.
Royal Jordanian Airlines is the national airline with many destinations served from Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), 32 kilometres south of Amman. Destinations are as far away as New York, but most flights are to major cities in the Middle East and Europe. Asian destinations include Bangkok and Hong Kong. Dozens of other airlines (mostly regional) fly to the airport as well. Buses and taxis serve the airport all day, with buses operating every half hour to Amman. A new rail line is being constructed that will link Queen Alia International Airport with central and downtown Amman. Domestic flights are an option you don't really need with travelling times overland just a matter of several hours, but travelling between Amman and Aqaba could be done with Royal Jordanian Airlines.
Amman Civil Airport (ADJ) in the east of Amman has flights to Dalaman (Turkey), Cairo, Baghdad, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Baku, Sharjah and even Stockholm, though some are seasonal.
There are also international flights to/from Aqaba Airport in the south of the country, mainly including charter flights from European countries.
A twice weekly train travel between the capital of Syria, Damascus, and Amman. The train leaves both places on Mondays and Thursdays at 8:00am in the morning and take 9 hours to complete the schedule. Although slower than buses and shared taxis, this train ride comes as a welcome alternative for train fanatics.
From Syria there are plenty of shared taxis leaving Damascus for Amman, taking about 4 hours including time to clear immigrations. It costs around US$15 for a seat.
With your own car you can also cross the border without major hassles but when travelling to Syria be sure to have a visa before entering. You can also cross into Israel to not at the King Hussein Bridge.
Although buses and minibuses travel to Saudi Arabia and Iraq it is either almost impossible (SA) or not advisable (Iraq) to cross these borders. Instead, most travellers take overland routes to and from Israel and the Palestinian Territories or Syria. Buses travel between Amman and Tel Aviv, Nazareth and Haifa. Buses to Syria go to Damascus (daily) and Aleppo (weekly). There are also numerous minibuses that ply the route between the two capitals.
Minibuses between Amman and Damascus sometimes also stop in Jerash (Jordan) and Bosra (Syria).
There are ferries between Aqaba, Jordan and Nuweiba on the Sinai peninsula in Egypt. There is a daily fast ferry (US$90 for First class and US$70 for economy seat) leaving at 11:00am from Jordan and 3:00pm from Egypt. It takes 1 to 2 hours travelling depending on sea conditions, but much longer in reality as a result of the time needed for everyone to clear customs and immigrations - up to 7 hours of mostly waiting. The slow ferry leaves daily as well but costs almost the same and is much less comfortable and much slower indeed. These ferries are operated by AB Maritime, do check their website for more details. Citizens of most European countries, North America and Australia and New Zealand can get a visa for free when entering Aqaba.
The country is small, so you don't really need a domestic flight although travelling between Amman and Aqaba could be an option with Royal Jordanian Airlines.
Although the train from Syria travels through Jordan to Amman, there are no other convenient points to break your journey.
Jordanian roads and roadsigns are of good quality and apart from the chaotic roads in and near Amman, it is also very easy to drive around this country. Just be careful of other local drivers. You can hire cars at the main airports, some resorts and bigger cities. Traffic drives on the right. It is best to bring an international driving permit, which is valid in all circumstances. Hiring a car with a driver is also popular and saves you the hassle on the road.
There are many bus companies offering direct services to most major cities and towns, like Amman, Aqaba, Petra, Jerash and Irbid. Companies include Alphadt, JETT and Rum Tourist Transport. There are also minibuses.
Smaller service taxis ply the same routes and often are more expensive but also faster and more convenient.
Other than taking a leisurely boat tour on the Red Sea (and occasionally the Dead Sea), there are no regular passenger services within Jordan.
Citizens from Bahrain, Egypt, Hong Kong, Japan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Vatican City and Yemen do not require a visa when visiting Jordan.
Visitors to Jordan from non-Arab countries will need a visa, easily obtainable on arrival at almost all border points. One key exception is the crossing from the West Bank at the King Hussein ("Allenby") Bridge where you will need a visa in advance. Visas are available at all other land crossings into Jordan and all sea and air crossings.
Visa prices are standardized for non-Arabs at JOD40 for single entry, JOD60 for multiple entry. Alternatively, you can receive a free, one-month ASEZA (Aqaba Economic Zone) visa if you arrive at Aqaba by land (from Israel or Saudi Arabia), by sea (ferry from Egypt at Nuweiba) or by air (land at Aqaba International Airport). If you receive an ASEZA visa, you will have to exit the country trough the same entry point. The ASEZA visa allows free travel throughout Jordan. There is no tax for leaving the Aqaba Economic Zone and crossing into the rest of the country. There are road checkpoints when leaving ASEZA, but these are no concern for foreigners. Usually, the control is either waived for tourists or minimally done (just show your passport; if driving, show also your driving license, car registration and open the trunk). If you want to enter through Aqaba and do not want to get the ASEZA visa, you must ask the customs officer to put the normal vsa in your passport and pay the normal visa fee.
The free ASEZA visa can also be obtained at almost all other crossings (except King Hussein "Allenby" Bridge), by stating that you are going to Aqaba. There will be no JOD40 charge for the entry visa, but you are obliged to arrive in Aqaba in maximum 48 hours and get a stamp from a police station in Aqaba or from the ASEZA headquarters. If the Aqaba late-arrival stamp is not in your passport, at departure you will pay the JOD40 charge for the entry visa plus a fine of JOD1,50/day, for each day non registered (the day you entered Jordan is counted as day 1, even if you entered at 23:59 hours).
The visa can be extended by three months at any police station. This extension can be granted twice. The ASEZA visa cannot be extended.
There is a departure fee of JOD10, imposed at all land and sea crossings. The departure fee of JOD30 for leaving Jordan by air is usually included in airline ticket.
If leaving through King Hussein "Allenby" Bridge you can return back to Jordan through the same crossing point, on the same visa you got when entering the country in the first place, if its validity has not expired. The ASEZA visa cannot be used in such manner, because you must exit Jordan through the same exit point in Aqaba you entered.
The King Hussein "Alenby" Bridge is the only crossing point where entry to Jordan is not allowed on a Israeli passport.
The following nationals need a visa beforehand:
Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Cote d'lvoire, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Guyana, Liberia, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Iran, Laos, Lebanon, Mangolia, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Russia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Belize, Colombia and Cuba.

The national currency is the Jordanian dinar (JD), divided into 1,000 fils and 100 piastres (or qirsh). Coins come in denominations of ¼, ½, 1, 5 and 10 piastres and banknotes in 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 dinar denominations. The currency rate is fixed at 0.71 JD per US$ (or 1.41 dollars per dinar).
Work opportunities for the casual foreign visitor are somewhat limited in Jordan. The majority of foreigners working in Jordan are on contract work with foreign multinationals and development organisations (Amman is the 'gateway to Iraq' and a key base for the continuing efforts to rebuild its neighbour).
There is the possibility of picking up casual English teaching work if you hunt around hard for opportunities.
Fluent Arabic speakers might have more success, though the process of obtaining a work permit is not particularly straightforward. Engage a knowledgeable local to assist you.
For long stays, it is possible to take Arabic courses at the University of Jordan as well as other private educational centres in Amman. The British Council in Amman occasionally runs courses in Arabic for foreigners.
An alternative is Zarqa Private University. It is a 35 minute drive due east of Amman and can save you a fortune, due to the fact that the city Zarqa costs 1/3 less to stay in an apartment than Amman.
The national language of Jordan is Arabic. Most Jordanians speak English, especially in urban area such as Amman and in and around tourist centres like Aqaba, Petra, Jerash and Wadi Rum.
Jordanian cuisine is quite similar to fare served elsewhere in the region. The daily staple being khobez, a large, flat bread sold in bakeries across the country for a few hundred fils. Delicious when freshly baked.
For breakfast, the traditional breakfast is usually fried eggs, labaneh, cheese, zaatar and olive oil along with bread and a cup of tea. Falafel and hummus are eaten on the weekends by some and more often by others. There's no convention for when you should or should not eat any type of food. It's up to you. This is the most popular breakfast. Manousheh and pastries come in as the second most popular breakfast item. All of the hotels offer American breakfast.
The national dish of Jordan is the mansaf, prepared with jameed, a sun-dried yogurt. Grumpygourmet.com describes the mansaf as "an enormous platter layered with crêpe-like traditional "shraak" bread, mounds of glistening rice and chunks of lamb that have been cooked in a unique sauce made from reconstituted jameed and spices, sprinkled with golden pine nuts." In actuality more people use fried almonds instead of pine nuts because of the cheaper price tag. While mansaf is the national dish, most people in urban areas eat it on special occasions and not every day. Other popular dishes include Maklouba, stuffed vegetables, freekeh.
The most popular place to eat cheap Mansaf is the Jerusalem restaurant in downtown Amman.
Levantine-style mezza are served in "Lebanese-style" -which is typical to Jordaian style- restaurants around the country, and you can easily find international fast food chains including McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Burger King.
Amman has an abundance of 5 and 4 star hotels. In addition there is good number of 3 star hotels and there are plenty of 2 star and 1 star hotels in downtown Amman which are very cheap, and there are plenty of tourists, especially those that are passing by stay in these hotels. Be advised that there are two scales of rating the hotels in Jordan. There are the standard, Western-style 5-star hotels such as the Sheraton, Crowne Plaza, etc., and then there are the local 5-star establishments. The local establishments that are considered '5-star' in Jordan would be more like 3-star hotels in the West. That being said, a traveller will pay top dollar for a Western brand-name 5-star hotel in Amman or Petra and less for the local 5-star hotel.
Furthermore, for longer stays it is possible to get furnished apartments from around JOD200-600 a month.
Black thea with mint is one of the drinks in Jordan which are worth a try.

There are no vaccinations legally required to travel to Jordan. There is one exception though. You need a yellow fever vaccination if you have travelled to a country (7 days or less before entering Jordan) where that disease is widely prevalent.
It's a good thing to get your vaccinations in order before travelling to Jordan. The general vaccination against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (DTP) is recommended. Also a hepatitis A vaccination is recommended and vaccination against hepatitis B, typhoid and rabies are also sometimes recommended for stays longer than 3 months.
Finally, other possible health issues include diarrhea and other general travellers' diseases like motion sickness. Watch what you eat and drink and in case you get it, drink plenty of fluids (to prevent dehydration) and bring ORS.

Jordan is very safe. There is virtually no unsafe part of Jordan except at the Iraqi border. Although the rural parts of Jordan have limited infrastructures, the fellahin (or village people) will be happy to assist you.
Jordan is one of the most liberal nations in the region. Women may wear regular clothing without harassment in any part of Jordan. Western fashions are popular among young Jordanian women. However, modest clothing should be worn in religious and old historical sites. Keep in mind Jordan is a Muslim nation and western norms may not be accepted even by Jordan's western educated elite, such as public displays of affection. Jordan is not a place where homosexuality is taken as lightly as in the West, although is not illegal as is the case in most other Arab nations. Adultery, including consensual sex between unmarried couples, is illegal and can be punished by a maximum of a 3 year jail term.
Jordan is relatively well connected to the internet compared to many other countries in the Middle East. Internet cafes are all around Jordan and range from 1- 2 JD for half an hour. Wifi is getting more and more popular in Jordan, but is not very common everywhere. In larger places, you find free wifi and some coffee places and restaurants. Hotels tend to charge for wifi, but not always, so check beforehand.

Jordan's international country code is 962. The emergency numbers include 112 and 911, you can use them both.
Most of Jordan has mobile coverage. There are three mobile operators: Zain - the first and largest mobile provider, Orange and Umniah. You can buy SIM cards at any of these providers and if you are planning to make international calls, use Umniah as they are the cheapeast. Otherwise Zain is the better choice of mostly domestic calls. Using your own SIM in Jordan can be expensive, especially for internet.
Card-based temporary numbers can be purchased at the airport or any mobile shop for JOD5. These numbers can be subsequently recharged with a prepaid card starting at only JOD1. Temporary "throw away" phones can be bought at many mobile phone shops across the country for around JOD20-30, but a Jordanian must buy the phone before possession can be transferred to you.
Jordan Post runs the postal services in the country. It has fairly reliable and cheap services and international post usually takes several days up to a week or more for countries further away. Opening hours of post offices are mostly between 7:00am and 5:00pm Saturday to Thursday and 7:00am to 1:00pm on Friday, although this depends whether it's a main city or smaller villages. In summer, there might be slighty longer opening hours. For larger packages, it might work out cheaper and certainly faster to use international courier services, including DHL, FedEx, TNT or UPS for example.

Jose Valverde Rumors
Jose Valverde Receives 80-Game Suspension
Righty Jose Valverde has been suspended for eighty games, the league announced today. He was punished for testing positive for stanozolol, a banned performance-enhancing substance.
Valverde played most recently at the Triple-A level in the Nationals organization, throwing 26 1/3 innings of 2.39 ERA ball. He struck out 7.2 and walked 1.0 batters per nine in that span, but ultimately exercised an opt-out clause and took his release. Valverde spent the spring with the Padres but elected free agency when he wasn't added to the active roster to start the season.
Once the Tigers' closer, Valverde lost the gig during a rough 2013 season. He opened 2014 with the Mets, but was again cut loose after struggling. All told, Valverde has only thrown forty innings, putting up a 5.63 ERA, since the end of the 2012 campaign.
It already seemed that the 12-year big league veteran could be near the end of the line, particularly given that he had yet to sign since being released nearly a month ago. Certainly, the suspension will make it much more difficult for him to find another opportunity.

Nationals Release Jose Valverde
The Nationals have announced the release of veteran reliever Jose Valverde. As Mark Zuckerman of CSNWashington.com notes on Twitter, Valverde had an opt-out clause in his deal.
While Valverde never got the call to the big league club, he did put up some solid numbers over his time at Triple-A. Over 26 1/3 innings, he owns a 2.39 ERA with 7.2 K/9 against just 1.0 BB/9. The latter number is particularly notable, given that Valverde has walked nearly four batters for every nine innings pitched over his lengthy MLB career.
It has been a few years since Valverde has been a productive pen arm at the game's highest level. He's been hit hard since a three-year run as a quality late-inning arm for the Tigers, during which he tossed 204 1/3 innings of 3.00 ERA ball. Nevertheless, given his results in the minors, it would not be surprising to see the 37-year-old pop up onto an active roster late in the season.

Nationals Agree To Minors Deal With Jose Valverde
The Nationals have reached agreement on a minor league deal with righty Jose Valverde, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported (Twitter links) that an arrangement was in the works.
The veteran reliever spent the spring with the Padres, working to a 4.15 ERA over 8 2/3 innings while striking out eight and walking only one batter. But with San Diego carrying a loaded pen that was not due to include him, Valverde opted out of his deal.
Valverde enjoyed a long run of success as a closer earlier in his career, but has struggled to get outs over the past two seasons. Between his time with the Tigers in 2013 and his run with the Mets last year, Valverde has tossed 40 frames of 5.63 ERA ball. He has posted 9.5 K/9 against 3.6 BB/9 in that stretch, but has been victimized by the long ball.
Metrics suggest he has been a bit unlucky as well, though only SIERA sees his work as being above average across 2013-14. All said, the Nats will presumably look to get what they can out of the 37-year-old as they seek to deal with performance issues and injuries to Craig Stammen and Casey Janssen.

Jose Valverde Opts Out Of Deal With Padres
12:28pm: Valverde tells Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union Tribune (Twitter link) that his agent has informed him that a new deal may come quickly. Given the fact that Valverde opted out of his deal (as opposed to being released) and has pitched reasonably well this spring, it wouldn't be surprising if he's drawing interest from other clubs.
10:03am: Righty Jose Valverde has opted out of his deal with the Padres and will be given his release, MLB.com's Corey Brock reports on Twitter. The 37-year-old was in camp on a minor league deal.
Valverde enjoyed a long stretch as a quality reliever who racked up a lot of saves. But his struggles over the past two years have been rather pronounced: over 40 innings, he owns a 5.63 ERA. Though the veteran still has a useful K:BB ratio in that stretch (9.5 K/9 against 3.6 BB/9), he has been exceedingly home run prone. Among the major ERA estimators, only SIERA values Valverde as an average or better reliever since 2013.
It seemed at one point that Valverde could be headed toward a job with the Pads. He has maintained quite a bit of fastball velocity into his later years, but reportedly was working into and above the mid-90s at times this spring. He allowed four earned runs in 8 2/3 spring innings, but fanned eight while walking only one batter.

Quick Hits: Gardenhire, Bryant, Valverde
Former Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, who was in attendance as the team his son coaches at the University of Wisconsin-Stout took on a Twins rookie team Tuesday, would be thrilled to manage again, Phil Miller of the Star Tribune writes. "Oh, no. I've got a lot left in me in baseball," says Gardenhire, shown in a photo wearing a T-shirt and smoking a cigar. "If somebody is looking for a manager and I'm a fit, great. I would love to manage again." After the Twins fired him following last season following the team's fourth straight season of 92-plus losses, Gardenhire lived for a month in an RV parked near his daughter's house in Oklahoma while he waited for his first grandchild to be born. Gardenhire turned down a front-office job with the Twins, but says he's still willing to help his former organization, perhaps with occasional scouting tasks. Here's more from around the game.
- MLBPA head Tony Clark says it's "unfortunate" that teams delay promotion of top prospects for service-time reasons, ESPN's Jayson Stark reports. "We don't think it's in anyone's best interest, and we don't think it's in the industry's best interest, to not have the best players on the field all the time," says Clark. This has become, of course, a point of discussion every year. This season, top Cubs prospect Kris Bryant has been the focus of the issue. The Cubs are likely to send him to the minors to start the season even though he's leading MLB in Spring Training homers with six.
- One Padres move that didn't attract much attention in a high-profile winter was their signing of former Diamondbacks, Astros and Tigers closer Jose Valverde to a minor-league deal. Valverde has performed well in camp, however, and now appears to have a good shot to make the team, Barry M. Bloom of MLB.com writes. "I feel like I'm 21 because I'm throwing 98 [mph]," says Valverde. "I'm surprised because I haven't walked anybody yet." Bloom suggests Valverde could even be the Padres' closer. That would be an upset if it came to pass, since Joaquin Benoit performed well in that role last year after the team traded Huston Street.

Padres Sign Jose Valverde To Minor League Deal
The Padres have signed former closer Jose Valverde to a minor league deal, Baseball America's Matt Eddy tweets. San Diego has also signed lefty Scott Elbert and righty Marcos Mateo.
Valverde made the Mets' Opening Day roster last season, but after a combustive two months in their bullpen, the Mets released him in late May. He has struggled in each of the past two seasons, posting ERAs over five in both and giving up ten home runs in 40 total innings. Valverde's last full season came in 2012, when he posted a 3.78 ERA with 6.3 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 for the Tigers. The 36-year-old has 288 career saves with the Diamondbacks and Astros in addition to the Tigers and Mets.
The 29-year-old Elbert was a first-round pick of the Dodgers all the way back in 2004. He had two effective seasons of relief for them in 2011 and 2012, but had Tommy John surgery in 2013 and missed most of the next two years. The Dodgers outrighted him in early November, and he became a free agent.
The 30-year-old Mateo pitched for Triple-A Iowa in 2014, posting a 3.86 ERA, 10.4 K/9 and 4.1 BB/9 in 37 1/3 innings of relief. He last appeared in the big leagues with the Cubs in 2011.

Mets Release Jose Valverde, Fire Hitting Coach
The Mets have released Jose Valverde and fired hitting coach Dave Hudgens, ESPN New York's Adam Rubin reports (Twitter links). Vic Black is expected to replace Valverde on the Mets' active roster, Mike Puma of the New York Post tweets. Hudgens will be replaced by minor-league hitting coordinator Lamar Johnson.
Valverde allowed four runs while blowing a save in the Mets' 5-3 loss to the Pirates Monday. He had a 5.66 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 10 walks in 20 2/3 innings this season after the Mets signed him to a minor-league deal in February. The 36-year-old has also pitched for the Diamondbacks, Astros and Tigers in his 12-year big-league career, racking up 288 saves. His career began heading downhill with the Tigers in 2012, and he posted a 5.59 ERA in 19 1/3 innings before being released by Detroit last season. His fastball has lost velocity over the years, falling from 95.8 MPH in 2009 to 92.8 MPH in 2013 and 2014.
Hudgens had served as the Mets' hitting coach since 2011. The Mets' offense currently ranks 10th in the National League in runs scored and has endured poor seasons from Ruben Tejada and Lucas Duda, as well as disappointing performances from newcomers Curtis Granderson and Chris Young.

Parnell Says 50-50 Chance Of Tommy John Surgery
THURSDAY: Parnell tells Rubin that team doctors have told him there's a 50-50 chance that he will require Tommy John surgery. Parnell adds that he might not wait the full six weeks described by Alderson yesterday and could have an answer within two weeks. He would like to have the surgery sooner rather than later, if necessary, in order to be ready as early as possible in 2015.
WEDNESDAY: Because the tear occurred in a thicker part of the ligament, Parnell may be able to avoid a Tommy John procedure, GM Sandy Alderson told reporters, including ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin (links to Twitter). Parnell will go through a program to see if he can stay free of surgery, with a final determination in six weeks time.
In the meantime, Alderson said the club will "continue to monitor" free agent relievers but will wait to see how "things shake out" with his current options before making any moves.
TUESDAY: One day into the season, the Mets are already facing the prospect of an extended absence for their closer, as the team announced that Bobby Parnell has an incomplete tear of the medial collateral ligament in his right elbow (All links to Twitter). Parnell will be shut down completely for two weeks and has already received a platelet-rich plasma injection in the elbow, but surgery is a possible outcome. In the wake of the injury, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News tweets that the Mets "will consider all options," including veteran free agent relievers.
The free agent market contains three names that come with significant experience as a Major League closer; Ryan Madson, Joel Hanrahan and Kevin Gregg are all unsigned, though Madson and Hanrahan are each working their way back from arm injuries (Frank Francisco is also available, but for the time being, I'll assume that ill-fated matchup won't be revisited). As Martino notes in the aforementioned tweet, New York watched Hanrahan throw this winter but didn't elect to send scouts to Madson's showcase.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets that D'Backs right-hander J.J. Putz is "very available" in trades, but he points out that the Mets have already tried that avenue as well in the past (the results were less than spectacular). Sherman hears from scouts that Putz isn't throwing well, and beyond that is the fact that he's set to earn $7MM this season. In a second tweet, he speculates that the Mets won't react by making a big move; the team didn't prioritize the position in the offseason and overvaluing the closer's role isn't GM Sandy Alderson's way, Sherman opines.
For the time being, Jose Valverde will step into the ninth inning for the Mets. After signing a minor league deal this offseason, Valverde had a solid Spring Training and worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings in his first game with the Mets yesterday, including the escape of an inherited bases-loaded jam. The Parnell injury has potentially lucrative ramifications for Valverde, who can reportedly earn up to $1.5MM on top of his $1MM salary based on appearances and games finished (full breakdown here).
Alderson tells Marc Carig of Newsday that a move to the bullpen for Jenrry Mejia isn't an option (Twitter link). Other internal options for the Mets could include Jeurys Familia, Vic Black (though he struggled mightily in Spring Training) and Kyle Farnsworth. For further updates on Parnell and other closer-related news throughout the season, you can follow @closernews on Twitter.

Added To The 40-Man Roster: Wednesday
Between now and Opening Day, several minor league signees will win jobs with their clubs and earn 40-man roster spots. Here are today's additions:
- Reliever Jose Valverde will make the Mets Opening Day roster, tweets Adam Rubin of ESPN.com. The 36-year-old will occupy a 40-man slot. Last year, in 19 1/3 innings with the Tigers, Valverde threw to a 5.59 ERA. But he allowed only three earned runs in nine innings this spring, and more importantly struck out seven against just one walk.
- The Indians have informed reliever Scott Atchison that he will be on the Opening Day roster, Paul Hoynes of the Plain Dealer reports on Twitter. Accordingly, Atchison will need to be placed on the club's 40-man. The soon-to-be 38-year-old was non-tendered by the Mets before hooking on with Cleveland on a minor league deal. He had a strong spring, allowing just two runs and one walk in eight innings while striking out eight batters.

Mets Sign Jose Valverde
SUNDAY: Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets the breakdown of Valverde's performance bonuses: $75K for appearing in 40, 45, and 50 games; $100K for appearing in 55, 60, and 65 games; $100K for finishing 30 and 35 games; $250K for finishing 40 and 45 games; and $300K for finishing 50 games. Valverde also has a March 26 opt-out, tweets Sherman.
WEDNESDAY, 10:51am: Valverde can also earn up to $1.5MM in performance bonuses, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter link).
9:11am: The Mets have signed right-hander Jose Valverde to a minor league deal that contains an invitation to Major League Spring Training, the team announced on Twitter. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports (also via Twitter) that the Praver/Shapiro client will earn $1MM if he makes the club.
This marks the second former closer that the Mets have signed to a minor league deal in the past week, as the club has also invited Kyle Farnsworth to camp. Valverde is the more accomplished closer of the two, but his recent struggled are well-documented. "Papa Grande" posted a 3.00 ERA with 7.9 K/9, 4.1 BB/9 and 110 saves for the Tigers from 2010-12. However, he began to unravel late in the 2012 season and in the 2012 playoffs. He would eventually return to Detroit in May 2013, briefly solidifying the closer role before allowing six home runs in eight appearances. The end result was a 5.59 ERA that caused the Tigers to designate Valverde for assignment.
Valverde adds another experienced arm to the Mets' bullpen depth, and he'll try to break camp with the team in order to join a bullpen that figures to be headlined by Bobby Parnell and young flamethrower Vic Black.

Um, are you an idiot?
If a real car acted like this we would have numerous deaths. I understand it is a potty, but if you are going to make it a car, make it drive like one. Idiot.

Express Yourself - Anywhere You Go The FZ1000 is the Panasonic LUMIX flagship bridge camera with ultimate image quality. The superb images produced with a large 1-inch sensor and all-new lens fully express the limitless depth and sunlit warmth of nature.

The DMC-FZ1000 is all you need to capture the world around you, in all its natural beauty.
Large 1-inch 20.1-megapixel MOS Sensor The newly incorporated 1-inch 20.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS Sensor improves the S/N ratio, making it possible to capture clear images with minimum noise even when shot at ISO12800 / Extended ISO25600. Rich amounts of light help produce impressive defocus with shallow depth of field. The result is truly stunning images in a wide variety of shooting conditions.
Bright LEICA DC Lens - F2.8-4.0 25-400mm The new LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens is created especially for the DMC-FZ1000. It has an F2.8-4.0 brightness that resists blurring even with telephoto shots, and an angle of view that extends from 25mm wide-angle to 16x optical zoom*. Comprising 15 elements in 11 groups, including 4 ED lenses and 5 aspherical lenses with 8 aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit achieves high MTF value. Adoption of 5 aspherical glass lenses achieves beautiful, evenly smooth defocus with invisible edge line, which is made possible by Panasonic's unique aspherical lens mold technology.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 13 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 This is a good product the camera lenses are good and with this picture quality is improved October 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wukka One of the Best Bridge Cameras Bought this as a replacement to my Digital SLR with multiple lenses. Just got tired of lugging all of the lenses around, but still didn't want to give up on the superior image quality over cellular phone cameras (which everyone has). It was a toss-up between this camera and the FX200. Am glad I went with the 1000 with the larger image sensor. And having everything in one "package" makes it more practical without "compromises." September 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarkyMark Awrsome Features This is my first bridge camera and I'm very impressed with it. There are so many options and features at your disposal. I have not extensively used or played with the majority of them unfortunately. Though I have a lot to learn in order to take full advantage of all this camera has to offer, I'm not discouraged to put the time in to learn. I love the wireless shooting option where you can control your camera through a phone app. You can touch to focus on a specific part of the image you are trying to capture which is awesome. April 4, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ramiam Jerky zoom is a major problem for video recording As currently is, the zoom pulses in response to the slow movement of the zoom ring. I read reviews before I bought the camera but only realized how bad it is after started using it. At each pulse, the image would lose focus for a moment and then refocus. I have not figured out how to overcome this problem. I do hope Panasonic would fix the zoom problem with a firmware upgrade. April 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by jschneir AN ALMOST PERFECT CAMERA IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT When I first bought the FZ1000 back in October of 2014 I wrote a two page review on it for my students in the digital photography class I teach at Emeritus College in Santa Monica, California. I titled the review" My first 5 days with the Panasonic FZ1000"- Now that I have been using that camera for six months I am even more impressed. I noted in that original review that the FZ1000 used the same battery as the FZ200 which I had and so did about a half-dozen of my photo students. I didn't have to wait to charge the battery, I was able to start using with the FZ1000 right away and since I was very familiar with the FZ200, it was no problem to pick it up and use its big brother, the FZ1000, a very easy to master learning curve. Two things worried me about making that switch, the impact of giving up the constant f2.8 lens for a f2.8-f4.0 lens on the FZ1000. The 2nd thing that worried me was giving up the 24x optical zoom of the FZ200 for the 16x zoom of the FZ1000. My concerns quickly evaporated. The 1" sensor of the FZ1000 made shooting at higher ISO levels very nice, up to ISO 1600 the images were better than what I was raving about on the FZ200 shot at ISO 200. In fact, some images I got at ISO 3200 had very little noise and still kept fine image detail. My 2nd concern, the loss of some zoom range, also disappeared. I simply set one of the custom settings, C1 to give me a 10MP image. The zoom range went from 400mm to 565mm. Yes, I did loose 2MP of image and about 1x of zoom (25mm-565mm or about 23x zoom range) but the images again were superb even at higher ISO levels. A couple of things with the FZ200 had bothered me, the electronic viewfinder (EVF) of the FZ200 required manual switching between the LCD and the EVF. The FZ1000 had an automatic eye sensor which solved that problem 100%. My impression of the FZ200's EVF was very good, only a very slight bit of blurring when following a moving subject. It was bright and I was able to display all the shooting info I wanted. It wasn't until I picked up the FZ1000 and took a close look through that EVF that I realized it was as good as using an optical viewfinder like on my Nikon D90 dSLR, only much better. I not only could see my shooting parameters, shutter speed and aperture, but ISO, white balance, along with a host of most other shooting parameters. I immediately took out my Sony NEX 6 to further check things out, to compare viewfinders, to compare images, to compare ease of use and the effect of the larger sensor size of the NEX 6. The NEX 6 has a APS sized sensor while the FZ1000 only a 1".. Again, no contest. While my NEX 6 was still warming up, I got off 3 or 4 pictures. Focusing speed with the FZ1000 was phenomenal, unlike anything I had ever handled, and as a photo teacher, I have handled a lot of cameras. During my initial setup of the camera, I had selected center focus and it worked very well. I tried shooting in a variety of burst modes without encountering any problems. I even set the camera to shoot 4K video and extracted 8MP images which were more than acceptable. I did run into a problem trying to turn on the 4K video but then found I had to be in the movie mode in order to access the 4K format in the menu. I notice that several of the commercial reviews commented, somewhat negatively, on the "plastic feel" of the FZ1000. I did NOT find that experience. I found the FZ1000 to be very sturdy, free of creaking or squeaks, a very well put together, solid feeling camera. The top left dial on the camera controls single frame shooting, burst mode, bracketing, time delay, and time lapse shooting. There are 5 Fn (function) buttons, I set Fn1 to HDR which I frequently use and find the results very good. In camera RAW processing is also a handy thing to have, especially when travelling. It is truly amazing as to how many things you can set to a Fn button. The 4 way dial on the back has ISO, AUTO FOCUS MODE, White balance, and macro mode. One thing I definitely do NOT miss from my FZ200 is how often I accidently hit the WB button on the 4 way dial on the FZ200. I have not run into that problem with the FZ1000. I have been talking about all the pluses but there are some negatives as well. Weight and size are certainly two things some people will find problematic. The FZ1000 does fit into the vertical pockets on the front of my TravelSmith vest, a definite plus for me since I wear it whenever traveling. Battery life is another negative, it is somewhat shorter than other bridge cameras but then again, I travel with 3 backup batteries. I suspect the 20MP image uses far more battery power than other cameras. This is not a camera for someone who takes a bunch of shots then puts away the camera for a month or two. This is NOT a camera for a novice photographer, rather this is a camera for a dedicated photographer who is tired of carrying around extra lenses and gear for their dSLR. This is a camera for someone who wants one camera that does just about everything and does it exceptionally well. I compared images shot with my Nikon D90, the FZ200 and my Sony NEX 6. I had hoped either the Sony or the FZ200 would allow me to greatly reduce most of the photo stuff I had to lug around on my trips. But now with the FZ1000, the smile on my face and the smaller package of camera gear I carry around tells the whole story about how happy I am with the FZ1000, it is a pleasure to use, extremely responsive, and does just about everything one could want from a professional level camera. It took me a while to come to grips with the price, but now that I did it, it was money well spent. Gerald Schneir March 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyNewOwner Met all expectations on a once-in-a-lifetime trip I haven't really had a serious camera since film days; after a couple of low-end digitals died I've basically been using my phone for snaps over the past couple of years. When planning a trip to Antarctica, however, I knew I had to get a "real" camera, and after a very long search, purchased the FZ-1000. I'd considered many others in about the same price range before landing on the Lumix -- mostly the Sony point & shoot offerings and Nikon and Sony interchangeable lens models -- and now that I'm back, I've no regrets. The main reasons for my selection were: 1. I decided I didn't want to deal with multiple lenses, given the conditions I'd be shooting in. 2. The range of the lens on the Lumix #to 400 mm equiv# exceeded the Sony's 200. 3. Yes, the Sony has a faster lens, but for most of my shooting, the slight loss on the Lumix was less important than the greater range #see 2# Shot approx. 1500 images in the months before the trip #best piece of advice I received from a retailer, buy early so you have time to get used to new gear before it really counts# and I was really pleased with the results. Everything from close macro shooting to the far ends of its telephoto range, from landscapes to burst shooting fast-moving wildlife, from straight idiot-auto mode to full manual yielded good results. Some of the presets are pretty hokey and produce pretty tacky images, but nobody says we have to use them. The things that I was less than thrilled with were the WiFi functions #far easier to just run a cord to my computer and transfer files that way#, the many steps it takes to access the panorama mode #made me wish for my iPhone#, and my inability to figure out the geotagging function, but those are small quibbles. On the positive side, aside from overall image quality, It handled sub-freezing temps fine, it was ready to shoot whenever I needed it, battery life was excellent #I did carry two spares at all times, but never needed more than one#. All in all, I'm very happy with it, and look forward to even more as I get even more comfortable with it over time. March 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Photoguy Awesome camera and outstanding photographs I have been a Canon fan for many years so making a change to a Panasonic camera was a challenge. I read several reviews on the FZ1000 and it sounded great. My current Canon SX40HS was not doing the job right for me so I took a chance and bought the FZ1000. Very glad I made the purchase because I am very happy with it! The camera is easy to use, very intuitive, takes awesome clear photos and has more than ample zoom and wide angle for all my needs. I was drawn to the super zooms of higher magnification but find the 400 mm maximum on the FZ 1000 to be more than sufficient. The camera focuses at lightning speed and is ready to take the next picture almost instantly...no waiting to take successive photos. The quality of the images is astounding. I could not be more pleased with my purchase. Although the price was more than I usually spend for a point and shoot, this one is well worth it and I am glad I took the plunge. Changing cameras is never easy or comfortable but this change worked out very well for me. January 21, 2015
