Valero Energy Corporation
) expects to report a loss in the upcoming first quarter of 2012,
considering a $605 million charge related to the closure of Aruba
oil refinery.
The San Antonio, Texas-based company anticipates its first
quarter 2012 loss to range between 75 cents and 85 cents a share
after taking into consideration a charge of about $1.10 a share
related to the refinery closure. Excluding the charge, Valero
expects its profit from continuing operations to be 25 cents to 35
cents a share.
In the preceding quarter, Valero Energy has posted adjusted loss
from continuing operations of 21 cents per share, narrower than the
Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 25 cents and worse than last
year's earnings from continuing operations of 32 cents. The
year-over-year decline could be due to unfavorable refining
margins, particularly in the Gulf Coast region.
During fourth quarter 2011, throughput volumes experienced a 24%
year-over-year growth to 2.71 million barrels per day. However,
company-wide throughput margins decreased $1.84 per barrel year
over year in the reported quarter, due to poor margins for gasoline
and petrochemical feedstocks as well as low discounts for medium
and heavy sour feedstocks
Mars and Maya crude oils. Margins also registered a significant
downfall across all regions, except the Mid Continent.
Valero, the largest independent refiner and marketer of
petroleum products in the U.S., expects its series of growth
projects, recent acquisitions and operational improvement to be the
key drivers of free cash flow generation in 2012. The company has
accelerated its investment level to reap benefits from the current
high trend of oil price and timid gas price environment.
The projects will be mostly completed by the end of 2012 and are
expected to drive a significant improvement in earnings in 2013.
Major capital investment, primarily in hydrocracker units at Port
Arthur and St. Charles this year should be a key driver for future
growth beginning in 2013. These projects position Valero to
increase diesel production and diversify its market exposure.
However, we maintain our Neutral recommendation for the company.
Being the largest independent refiner in the country, Valero
remains particularly exposed to the ongoing unfavorable macro
backdrop. Again, Valero remains exposed to the weakness in refining
margins resulting from reduced demand for gasoline and diesel fuel.
Other risks include natural disasters, unplanned plant disruptions
and changes in environmental regulation.
Valero, which competes with
Tesoro Corp.
), retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which is equivalent to a short-term
Hold rating.

It is WAY too early to be predicting what will happen in next April's draft, but it's also kind of fun. SI.com lists its top 40 prospects for the 2011 draft, and you'll find defensive end Cameron Jordan in there. CBSSports.com also ranks top 2011 prospects by position, and as you scroll through the rankings, you'll see a handful of Cal players on the board.

Yeah, I think so. Shane Vereen is listed as a 2012 draftee.

Law's Knee Injury Forces Dr Faustus Cancellation
Editorial Staff • West End • 21 Mar 2002
Law, an accomplished theatre actor though best known internationally for his many film roles, has received strong reviews for his stage return, which opened on Monday to much fanfare. His popularity ensured that the production's limited seven-week season sold out far in advance of opening.
All theatregoers for last night's performance have been offered tickets on alternative dates. Given the full houses, extra seats are being brought in to accommodate this demand and additional dates at the end of the run are now being considered.
Law plays the title role in Christopher Marlowe's 16th-century morality tale about the man who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge, wealth and power. Also in the cast are Richard McCabe, Annette Badland, David Fielder, Bohdan Poraj, Tom Smith and Ofo Uhiara.
Dr Faustus is directed by David Lan and designed by Richard Hudson, with music by Murray Gold, lighting by Matthew Richardson, sound by Crispian Covell and choreography by Kate Flatt.
The play is a co-production between the Young Vic and Natural Nylon Theatre, formed last year by Law with fellow actors Ewan McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller, Sean Pertwee and Law's wife Sadie Frost as a spin-off of their existing film production company. This is the first Natural Nylon stage project; others planned include an adaptation of Chekhov's Three Sisters, written by Christopher Hampton and directed by Sean Matthias, and The Collector, adapted by Mark Healy from the novel by John Fowles and directed by Mark Clements.
Theatregoers with tickets to see Dr Faustus tonight are advised to call the Young Vic box office on 020 7928 6363 to confirm the status of the performance.

One of the guiding philosophies at Focus on the Family that's woven into the very fabric of our organization is the sanctity of human life.
In part, our statement of faith in this area reads:
"We believe that human life is created by God in His image. It is of inestimable worth and significance in all its dimensions … from the single cell stage of development to natural death."
By and large, Christians do well in recognizing the value of the preborn.

California Bookwatch
The author's written several books on the psychology of the adopted, but here provides her own autobiographical experience, telling of a life where adoptees were still kept in the dark about their identification…. Twice Born: Memories of an Adopted daughter traces her journey and feelings.
Reference and Research Book News
At the time she was told her birth parents were dead and she was adopted, Lifton was seven and sick from scarlet fever. The timing could not have been worse. The experience itself caused significant problems for Lifton, and the questions about her birth parents lingered for decades. Finally she found her birth mother was alive and to ease her pain and answer questions Lifton sought and found her. Her search for her birth father had less success, but Lifton found the questionshad eased and she was able to "re-enter" life, finally, as what she felt was herself. Lifton…adds new insights from the changes in adoption practices to her 1975 original and makes a case for open adoption records.

What's a refundable Security Deposit?
This is an amount that the members agree to set aside, to cover the rare occasion that any damages occur during a stay. If there are no damages during the stay the amount is returned to the members.
How much deposit is required?
There is a minimum amount of £200* to use the security deposit service. We suggest £100 per night for the duration of your trip, but our team will be happy to offer advice that will suit your own circumstances.
What if I find damages?
If you, as a host, find damages to your home you should let us know within 24 hours of the end of the trip and Love Home Swap will mediate between the parties to resolve the issue.
As a guest, you have 24 hours from the time you arrive to report any pre-existing damage to the home beyond normal wear and tear.
In the unlikely event that agreement cannot be reached on the cause of the alleged damage, within 30 days of the end of the trip, 50% of the deposit will be returned to the guest and 50% to the host.

Are there any costs involved?
Love Home Swap manages the process and holds the funds securely and there is a 10% deposit fee for this service.

MCV - Future Publishing says the depreciated games market has hurt its growth. I'm not convinced that's true.
In fact, think hard about the notion that games overall are 'challenged' - at a time when the addressable audience for all kinds of games is bigger than ever - and the whole thing feels disingenuous. It's correlation, not causation.
It's not the first time this year the magazine and website publisher warned games were a challenge. When similar remarks came in May I chalked it down to a pre-E3 lull.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Anyone who thought the Golden State Warriors would be content after winning one NBA title was sadly mistaken.
ALAMEDA, Calif. - The challenges facing a rookie quarterback in the NFL can be a bit overwhelming.
After spending months following the college season preparing for the draft, the player joins a new team already in the middle of its offseason program.
NAPA, Calif. - For all the good that Derek Carr accomplished as a rookie starting 16 games at quarterback for the Oakland Raiders, there was one glaring negative: The inability to get the ball downfield.
After long wait, Tim Brown is headed to HOF
OAKLAND, Calif. - Perhaps more than any other position in football, wide receivers are forced to depend on teammates for success.
OAKLAND, Calif. - When NBA union chief Michele Roberts watched Stephen Curry return to a game after his head slammed against the floor and he walked woozily to the locker room, she immediately took a closer look the league's concussion protocols.
Whether it's steroid testing, all those power arms in the bullpen or a lower strike zone, baseballs just aren't flying out of the park like they did a decade or two ago.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - By proving they can win on the road, the Atlanta Hawks have given themselves a chance to earn home-court advantage throughout the NBA playoffs.
ALAMEDA, Calif. - Two of the Oakland Raiders' big free-agent acquisitions from last season are no longer with the team.
Running back Maurice Jones-Drew announced his retirement Thursday and defensive end LaMarr Woodley was released by the team.
ALAMEDA, Calif. - After watching fellow receivers Cris Carter and Andre Reed get that coveted Pro Football Hall of Fame call the past two years, Tim Brown hopes it's finally time for his number to be called.
OAKLAND, Calif. - Wedged between a pair of games against last season's Super Bowl participants, the Kansas City Chiefs appear to get a bit of a breather with a visit to the winless Oakland Raiders.
Just don't tell that to the Chiefs.

You don't need to imagine it, the UK and US have already done that with Diego Gracia. The UK gave the island to the US to use and booted off the inhabitants, which the US seems fine with since they get a nice big military base in the Indian Ocean.
The inhabitants have tried to get their island through the courts, but haven't succeeded. The UK was even exposed as trying to make it impossible for them to
get their island back off the US.
Even after the peace treaty was signed, the Cardassian time and again would attack Federation targets whenever there was an advantage to be had. TNG's "The Chase" and DS9's "Emissary" are perfect examples.
These were both before the treaty was signed.

Greek mythology and Bulgarian fairy tales have never felt as modern as they do in Wildalone, Krassi Zourkova's debut novel. Building on the momentum established by Stephenie Meyer's ever-popular Twilight franchise, the Bulgarian-born Zourkova introduces fans of supernatural romance to a dark and heady new love triangle involving a gifted musician and two bewitching brothers.
This month's best new mysteries include a detainment on an island paradise, an English historical, a twin investigation in the French Carribean and a dark thriller.
This fast-paced and gripping novel is part thriller, part crime story, part mystery. It tells the story of Bobby Drake, a deputy sheriff in a small Pacific Northwest town trying to outlive the sins of his larger-than-life father, Patrick. He is doing a good job of it, until his father is let out of prison and the cycle of crime and violence begins again—threatening the peaceful existence Bobby has created.
Christina Baker Kline's many fans packed the house for her session at the 2014 Southern Festival of Books. BookPage had the pleasure of speaking with the author about the book's runaway success and what she's working on next.
While we all know George Washington as our first president and leader of American forces in the Revolutionary War, in The Return of George Washington: 1783-1789, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Edward J. Larson illuminates another key role he played: leading the Constitutional Convention.
One might describe Oregon as a mélange of Haight-Ashbury, Appalachia and Yankee nouveau riche. Valerie Geary's first novel, Crooked River, follows this interplay between the state's radicals, rednecks and arrivistes. It begins when a journalist with the WASP-y name of Taylor Bellweather drowns. And the prime suspect is a beekeeper with a beard and a penchant for whiskey.
This month's best new mysteries include a tale of British espionage, a thriller featuring a difficult main character and a story of a South African winery weekend gone awry.
After closing New York Times reporter Matt Richtel's compelling book A Deadly Wandering: A Tale of Tragedy and Redemption in the Age of Attention, I couldn't help but think of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. Both chronicle the story of a crime. If you've ever read In Cold Blood, you know how the story builds with palpable suspense. The same is true here. The crime, though, isn't coldblooded murder, but something seemingly more mundane: a car accident on a hillside in Utah that killed two rocket scientists and was caused by a careless teenager. The alleged crime is negligent homicide, because the teenager, Reggie, may have been texting just before the crash.
This month's best new romances feature an estrangled couple seeking a reunion, a rip-roarin' paranormal adventure and a contemporary story with a Gothic-inspired hero.
Pioneering journalist Gail Sheehy has lived a life jam-packed with work, love, politics and writing. Best-selling author of 1976's Passages, which revolutionized the way Americans thought about the phases of their adult lives, Sheehy has spent a lifetime documenting American culture. Now in her 70s, she casts a retrospective eye on the chapters of her own life in an absorbing new memoir.

I was only reporting Baldock's record at Vergis after some here seemed to believe he did such a great job there. All the info came from PRs the company put out. I am an investor in MMY solely because I believe the stock is extremely undervalued. The main reason for that is some bonehead decisions by the CEO and supported by the BOD. I would not be at all surprised if we see some changes in the BOD and also mgmt in the near future. I'm looking forward to the AGM and what proposals will be put in front of us next month. No, I don't particularly like a CEO who makes misleading statements to stockholders and then refuses to talk to us. I also think that at 72, it's probably time for Baldock to turn over the reins to someone else.
Congratulations to all stockholders who contributed to stopping the third version of the un-needed PP. Sometimes it does pay to become more involved.

My dream FF movie would have it actually pick up with them an already established Super Hero team. Sort of like how Rise of the Silver Surfer started out - people knew them, they have their tower and basically we don't need to rehash the origin. Maybe tell it in cartoon/comic style in the beginning during the credits and leave it at that.
And I would actually not entirely dismiss the original two movies - hell what I'd find funny as anything would be Johnny and Ben watching Silver Surfer and going "Oh geez Ben could they make you look any stupider and c'mon that's NOT what Galactus looks like? What? You think people couldn't take a guy taller than Four Freedoms tower in purple and pink body armor?"
"Well at least they picked that hottie to play our Suzie Q."
"Dude, not cool. I can't even watch her anymore without seeing... shudder... my sister."
So that way you don't entirely have to find a new way to 'reboot' the story, just say that the original two were movies loosely based on the real thing. Which would totally be a very Fantastic Four thing to see.
I really like that idea. Sounds not unlike how the proposed Deadpool script was supposed to handle the character's depiction in Wolverine.

With Microsoft's deployment of the Windows 7 operating system and its discontinued support of XP (in April of 2009), EIT has changed some of its new computer setup and support procedures.
- ALL new computers setup by EIT will have Windows 7 as the operating system.
- If your computer is currently working just fine with XP you may continue to use it for as long as you wish. When a problem arises with a machine however, EIT's solution will be to resolve the problem by installing Windows 7 on the machine.
- Windows 7 installation DVD's will be distributed in the near future. Check back for updates.
Machines that can run Microsoft Vista can also run Windows 7. Machines that can't run Microsoft Vista and Windows 7 no longer meet the minimum support standards.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Incident Commander Chuck Caessens
April 25, 2015-9:15 am Rich Dragoo, Fire prevention officer
Release #2
PULLMAN-Pullman fire prevention officer Rich Dragoo said the Saturday morning fire at 115 SW McKenzie was caused by a spark that was left in some sawdust that smoldered about 12 hours and finally ignited.
After interviewing the crew that was renovating the house, Dragoo said the workers were sanding the floor using a large power sander. He said the sander popped a nail head, causing a spark to land in the sawdust. That sawdust was placed in a 32-gallon plastic garbage can Friday afternoon around 4 and left on the front porch of the home. He said then on Saturday morning, the sawdust ignited and started the fire. Dragoo said the crew worked later Friday evening but that saw dust was still in the sander.
(Release written by Glenn Johnson, PFD/PIO)
|Shortly after the arrival of PL31 the flames were extinguished. PL31 is in the background and a couple firefighters are making their way back to the house.
|A large volume of smoke is seen emitting from the roof of the house.
|A firefighter sprays water from the steps in front of the house.
|A firefighter uses a pike pole to help remove the underside of the ceiling covering the front deck.
|Two firefighters preparing to enter the building. The volume of smoke is visible smaller as the firefighting activities are stopping the fire.

Everyone has been saying character, but to me that is a nebulous answer.
For me, the reason is texture. Old structures lend themselves to B&W to me because B&W is about communicating textures and tones, not colors. Old strutures are already faded and worn. The color is usually depressing and uninteresting (though that is at times what the photographer hopes to capture of course), but the tonality and texture is still abundantly there. That is what attracts me. I think when I look for B&W structural subjects, my first inclination is to look for interesting textures or tones that I can capture on film. Older structures make this easy. Plus, they usually aren't something you see everyday, and that adds interest.

text: Intercepts in quadric surfaces?? 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data How many intercepts can an ellipsoid have? 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution First of all, I don't understand what exactly "an intercept" means in quadric surfaces. in two dimensions, intercepts are the points that the graph meets with x&y axes. So in three dimensions, do intercepts still mean the points that the surface meets with x,y,z axes? if what I understand is right, an ellipsoid can have at least 0 intercept, and at most 6 intercepts. And an elliptic parabaloid can have at least 1 intercept, and at most 6 intercepts. is it right?? Thanks.

Here is a copy of a letter I sent Sunday to House Speaker John Boehner:
Sir, in reading today's newspaper, I have come to the conclusion that you have been lying to America about the Affordable Care Act. I see no other reason for you shutting down the government but to try to hide your lies. It appears that if the Affordable Care Act were to go into effect, it would become obvious it is nowhere as bad as you have told us it is.
The only way to stop us from finding the truth is to ruin our economy by being unwilling to come to an agreement on a spending bill to keep government operations running. ...

Words by Jesse Serwer—
It's not often that we get to celebrate sparsely populated Montserrat on LargeUp, nor is it frequent that someone we know as a party-rocking MC turns out to be a talented visual artist. Well, Montserrat-born Jason "Gazoo" Allen, who can be found livening up NYC nightspots like Greenhouse as a house-music MC, specializes in art made from the black sand and soil abundant on his home island since the eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano (a 1995 catastrophe which has since cut the country's population in half). And damn, if he isn't doing some pretty cool things.
Inspired during a visit home in 2011 to create art with black sand as a way of expressing his country's rebirth and opportunities, Gazoo first exhibited his Black Sand creations at NYC's Montserrat Society last summer. Starting tonight, his "Under the Tree" show will spruce up the walls at one of our favorite downtown NYC hangouts, Spur Tree Lounge. As Gazoo explains of the show, he set out "to create a vibe of 10 pieces I see under a tree while looking out of my window in the Caribbean." See the flyer below for details on the opening, and check out some more of Gazoo's Black Sand Art below, and at his website.

Murghab village – Pamir's eastern hub
Murghab, meaning "the river where the birds drink" in ancient Persian, is the second bigger village of the Pamir region. It has in between 4000 and 6000 inhabitants (the sources vary here) and is located along the Pamir Highway in the very east. From there it is easy to set out for day hikes or longer hikes along Murghab river for example, which eventually leads into the famous Sarez Lake. META (Murghab Eco Tourism Association) is very active in helping travellers to plan and organise trips. They also offer assistance (planning, jeep and driver) for travelling along Pamir Highway to either Khorog, Dushanbe or Osh. I can highly recommend them, they are very much reliable and have fair prices (as opposed to Traveltajikistan/Great Game Company, which are purely rip-offs). Also, they are a local organisation, and I prefer to stick with locals when it comes to learning about a country.
Accommodation (the so-called homestays) can be found in Murghab through MSDSP (Mountain Society Development Support Program). They have an office in Murghab.
Murghab also has a quite big bazaar, which is located in the east of town (north of the main street). Most of the vendors have their shops in converted tanks (see photo 3 in the back), and you can get all supplies you need. Just behind the vending stalls are cafes where you can grab something to eat or drink.
If you arrive in Murghab, coming from Osh (Kyrgyzstan), make sure you go to the police to get your OVIR and show your documents.
I will write more about Murghab on a separate page (see link below), but I didn't even start with it.Related to:

Fly to Khorog and spend some days there
I already mentioned this in the previous tip – you should not only NOT rush along the Pamir Highway, but also spend some days along in the villages and landscapes.
Khorog is a possible starting point for the trip, and it is worthwile to stay here for at least 2 days. The village is the capital of the Pamir region, very much supported by the Aga Khan Development Network (and proceeding links in there), a non profit organisation. It has a university, schools and a very good hospital, people speak very good English (mainly the young ones, but the elder as well). In Khorog, you can learn so much about the region's history and peoples former life in the museum – highly recommendable. And some kms east of town is a Botanical Garden, which is said to be the highest on our planet.
Khorog has a big bazaar where you can get any supply you can think of, excellent local dishes (oh yummmmm….) and you can fill up your stock of food when you want to set out for hikes.
Khorog felt for me like Shangri-La. I was overwhelmed by the locals, so friendly, so big smiles everwhere I went. Given the altitude (2200 m), a lot of fruit trees and berries grow here, so enough of wonderful fresh food supplies as well.

Dushanbe – the capital
Tajikistan's capital is Dushanbe, situated in the western part of the country. The name simply means Monday, as it used to held market on Mondays. I can't judge anything of its sights, as I was mainly occupied with getting hold of a flight ticket to Khorog, capital of the Pamirs, and trying not to waste too much money to the biggest rip-off company on the planet, Great Game Travel. This, as my reason for going to Dushanbe (and staying there 1 night) was to get hold of the Pamir (GBAO) Permit, which I got through a company I cannot recommend (see my Dushanbe travelogue). Nowadays it is no longer necessary to stay in Dushanbe to pick up the Pamir Permit, as it is much more reliable dealt with by either Stantours or by Tajik Embassies (namely the one in Vienna, Austria and the one in Berlin, Germany).
But for hikers, Dushanbe is starting point for hiking in the northern Varzob mountains and also the Fan Mountains.
At the point being, Dushanbe has a nice website with loads of information… but so far only in Russian. However, the English version seems to be in preparation. Check from time to time if the button is active:

Stay with Kyrgyz nomads in their yurt
The eastern Pamir Mountains are characterised by high plains and are therefore ideal ground for Kyrgyz herders to let their animals graze. Don't miss to plan a stay with them for a day or even more. META (see above or below) can organise this for you. Kyrgyz nomads mostly have yaks, but often also sheep, so this means also very much delicious food, you'll have whilst your stay.
Don't expect luxury, the nomads won't have electricity, but expect the highest class of hospitality, so friendly and warmhearted people, a warm bed to crawl in at night (in a yurt), excellent food and a most magnificent star sky in the night. You won't hear any noise except the animals talking to each other, and the occasional creek, flowing over the rocks.
I had one of my best culinary experiences there, a youghurt that tasted like heaven !
If you haven't organised your yurt stay through META, but stay in one during your hikes, it should be self-evident to leave a contribution for your stay. The actual fees for accommodation and food are given on META's website, which has been updated and shows the prices as of 2007.
Later, I will write more about my stay with the nomads on my Karakul page.Related to:

Travel along the Pamir Highway
Even if you won't have that much time to do long hikes or treks in the Pamirs, a travel along Pamir Highway is highly recommendable. BUT: please be fully aware that there is no air conditioned bus, but (old) jeeps to travel along with.
The Pamir Highway is the part of a Central Asian road, which connects Dushanbe with Osh (Kyrgyzstan). Some sources also mention Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan being the westernmost starting point. The road has been built during Soviet times, to connect parts of their imperium in this region. Since the breakdown and Central Asia's independence, not much coherent maintanance has been done to the road, only in spots, where damage has been caused by flash floods or scree. In total length, it is 1252 km long; the leg between Khorog and Osh being 728 km. With Ak-Baital Pass, 4665 m, it is said to be the second highest international highway.
I cannot say much about the leg between Dushanbe and Khorog (as I took a flight). But the part between Khorog and Osh is just breathtaking !! First, it leads through valleys (valley of Gunt river) and then over the high plains of eastern Pamirs to Murghab, the second bigger Pamiri village. Next stop is the famous Kara-kul Lake (!! Not to be confused with the eponymous lake in western China!!), from where it leads north into Kyrgyzstan and eventually finishes in Osh.
If you plan to travel along this highway, calculate enough time. 1252 km would be a piece of cake on western asphaltic streets, but consider the altitude (of which we have nothing comparable in the western world) and influences of bad weather. If flash floods wipe away parts of the road, it will take long until cars or trucks can pass again. For the leg between Khorog and Osh calculate minimum 3 days. 4 days would be better, and 1-2 weeks the best, as this will provide you with the opportunity to visit villages and Kyrgyz settlements and enjoy the locals legendary hospitality.
Please check the transport section for how to organise the travel (not yet done).Related to:

Amazing flora and fauna – to behold
The flora and fauna in Tajikistan and the Pamirs are very much unique due to their altitude. In the website's brochure below (from ACTED, Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development), page 6, it is said that the region has 2 main terraces – alpine and sub-alpine, below or above roughly 4500 m. Depending on the terraces, all different kinds of species grow there. On 4000 m, near the Kyrgyz settlement, I stayed at, I was amazed to find edelweiss flowers (photo 1) and a whole bunch of other tiny flowers I know from the alps (well, maybe not exactly the same plants, but similar families). All have one thing in common, which is that they can live with only a small amount of water. Water is scarce in these higher regions.
In the lower parts in the valleys, like in Khorog on 2200 m, the climate is ideal for growing all kinds of fruits, and cherry and apricot trees are very much abundant. They taste excellent, as they never see any kind of pesticides.
In terms of animals, some very rare species are living here – one of them is the Marco Polo sheep. Photo 2 shows a skull of this sheep, which is characterised by very long and twisted horns.
The other one is the Snow Leopard, which is able to live in regions as high as 6000 m.
These animals are endandered species, and it should be out of any discussion that these are not to be hunted !!!!
And that all the flowers are not to be picked, including the Edelweiss !!!!Related to:

Petroglyphs & Geoglyphs all over in the east
ACTED's website has a wonderful detailed brochure (27 pages) about the Pamir region and their settlement. It is fascinating to learn how much back the early settlements date – as far as 8500 B.C. ! These very old ones are very much rare, though. But witnesses of Iron and Middle Age are widely scattered in the Pamirs and give fascinating insight into the days of these early settlements. During my trip, I saw and visited three of these and will describe them in the Pamir section or on the village pages. Thanks to the ACTED brochure I am even able to name them correctly:
Petroglyphs of Jalang, northwest of Murghab, the burying ground of Shurali close by and the kurgans (circular burying grounds) of Karaart near Karakul village.Related to:

Geothermal activity all over in this area
The Pamir Mountains are part of what has been the result of Indian subcontinent collision with Eurasia long time ago. And as the plates of our earth are still moving, a lot of "action" below the surface takes place. This is most obvious, where the plates are "touching" each other. Ok, this was now very simple explained, and I hope, geologists won't tear me apart.
What I want to say is that this region, as well as others in the circumfence of Himalaya region, do have a lot of geothermal activity. On Markus Hauser's map, you can see so many icons marking hot springs along the Pamir Highway and also deep inside the mountains. Given the low amount of constant electricity in the Pamir Mountains, these hot springs are very important for the locals to take their hot bath.
It is a marvellous experience to dip into warm or even hot water, after a smaller or longer hike.
BUT: please understand how important these are for the locals. Don't mess around and don't leave trash please !
In case, the hot springs are pools, please check in advance how the separation of genders is handled. Remember, this is an Islamic country, and it would be very much inappropriate to have both males and females bathing there clotheless.
Thanks.Related to:

Go to the Pamirs – and touch the sky!!!
Why going to Tajikistan ? Well, there are a lot of very simple answers – it has one of the most beautiful mountain ranges on our planet, and the hospitality of the people is just incredible ! A bit high, but…. we all have to make compromises :-) and suffer from time to time (I did, my nice travellers diarrhoea did not enhance my "body feelings" in 4200 m altitude).
Go to Tajikistan and touch the sky, as I called my chapter about this fascinating country.
The eastern part of Tajikistan is an autonomous region, with the – for westerners - unpronouncable name of Gorno Badakhshan Avtonomnaya Oblast, better known as the Pamirs, offers you anything you like when it comes to spectacular landscapes, very high mountains (up to 7400 m), hot springs, lakes, ancient history with petroglyphs, animal riding on horses, yaks or camels, long and short trekking tours, mountain climbing – you name it.
I will write more about this fantastic region, separately under Pamirs , but this page is still under construction at the moment.
But - as I recently have realised that VT's things-to-do on Tajikistan is listed as second external link on Wikipedia, Pamir Highway, and thus this tip here appears at the top of our guide, I have the happy obligation to write more about the highway and the Pamirs now :-)
In the meantime, feel free to visit the website, I have added below, the famous Pamirs.org, which might get you inspired about what the Pamirs have to offer.Related to:

Experiance Tajikistan!
Welcome to Tajikistan!
Tajikistan is a place where you can study culture and traditions in reality.The best way of getting know people is-visiting them.
In order to understand Tajik culture it is necessary to look back to the time of Transoxiana, (an area that lies between the Amu Darya and Sir Darya rivers and modern north-west Afghanistan), and the centres of civilization of the Nile, Mesopotamia and the banks of the Yangtze. The Tajiks' ancestors were from Scythian proto-Indo-European tribes who were nomads of the Eurasian steppes and were among the first to settle in Central Asia about 4000 years ago.The Culture of Tajikistan has developed over several thousand years.
Modern Tajik literature and its history is wound up with the standardisation of the Tajik language. Tajik literary centres include the cities of Bukhara and Samarkand, currently in present day Uzbekistan.Tajik's literature and culture is very rich.
Tajik holidays are very amazing and interesting and one can easely get in to them
Date Holiday
Jan 1 New Year's Day
March 8 International Women's Day
March 20-22 Navruz (Persian New Year)
May 1 International Labour Day
May 9 Victory Day
September 9 Independence Day
November 6 Constitution Day
November 9 National Reconciliation Day
Tajikistan's biggest annual celebration is the spring festival of Navruz, literally "New Day". Navruz marks the beginning of the Persian New Year, which starts at the spring equinox. (The exact date of the celebration depends on the timing of the equinox). The roots of the festival are Zoroastrian - the fire-worshipping religion that the Persians followed before they converted to Islam.
Abdullah Jafar Ibn Mohammad Rudaki is considered a founder of Persian classical literature.
He was born in Rudak, a village in Transoxiana, 870 in what is now Panjakent in Tajikistan. . He was the court poet to the Samanid ruler Nasr II (914-943) in Bukhara, but he eventually fell out of favour and ended his life in poverty.

The Fan Mountains
The Fan Mountains is acknowledged to be among the most beautiful in the world. It is a eas-west range in west-central Tajikistan, with the main massif in the west. For international travellers the best is possibly to cross in over the Uzbek border from the west; it is a long haul from Dushanbe. Either way you get there, the approach will be interesting.
The high Fan massif consists of high peaks (Chimtarga at 5489 meters the tallest], snow capped and with small glaciers hanging about, and a maze of valleys carving up the massif, making it a fairly easy laid-out area for trekking and mountaineering. In terms of objective dangers, the main onwe would probably be altitude sickness due to the high passes, rock slides and in the wrong season hypothermia. If you aim to go there, do come preapared before entering Tajikistan.Related to:

Atomic Tajikistan
In the Soviet era (note than many people in Tajikistan citizens miss that time), Tajikistan was one of the main sources of uranium for the Soviet nuclear program. The city of Saryn in the northern parts of the Khojand area was the source of uranium mined for the first Soviet nuclear bomb (separate tip coming soon!). You will find uranium mines here and there nowadays, too, but I do not think any of them are open for mining for the time being. The worst sites in terms of pollution and radiation have been sealed. If you travel upr the side valley north from Takob, the road takes you right next to a uranium mausoleum, a huge concrete construction topping a sandy hill. This "atomic Tajikistan" is not only an historical event to keep in mind, but very much an ongoing environmental and health disaster.Related to:

Fruit country
Tajikistan along with its neigbours is a faboulous country for fruits. Make a point of sampling some on the way through the country. Apples, peaches, apricots, plums, pears in the mountains; melons, grapes and other in the lowlands.Related to:

Desert country
Most of Tajikistan appears to be either barren rock or desert. While some of the desert landscapes are drab, you will also find really nice desert scenery here and there, notably in the south toward the Afghan-Uzbek border as well as in the north of the Khojand region. The mountain deserts of Gorna Badakshan/Pamir are outstanding. Some of the finest desert scenery that I saw was in the Anzob gorge, near Shaartuz and Kurgan-Tyube. Plan on spending some desert scenery time - don't give it a pass!Related to:
