Coach: Blake Griffin's New Moves & 76ers Defense
Blake Griffin: starting, stopping, and side-to-side
Much has been made, and rightfully so, about the personnel moves the Los Angeles Clippers made in the offseason. Additions like Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups, and Caron Butler are eye-catching and demand a lot of attention from the media and fans. However, a more subtle change for the Clippers is the continued development of second year forward Blake Griffin, especially as it relates to his basketball agility and body control.
The transformation Griffin has undergone since his final year at Oklahoma is astounding. He was a very productive and strong player there, but his movements were linear, and he had trouble creating a burst of speed to get past a defender or stopping once he had started that momentum. He was excellent in the fastbreak, but did not yet have the polish to consistently create spaces and angles in the halfcourt. Over the course of his "redshirt" year (when he was injured before his would-be rookie season) and last season, it was easy to see Griffin had started to address those issues.
Last year, Griffin added the ability to change direction via a variety of spins and jump-stop change-of-direction moves. These additions are big for a player of his size and athletic type, as they give him more avenues to the basket and make him harder to guard with a single defender. However, over the long-term an over-reliance on these types of moves would become problematic: they are easy to scout and counter if they are all a player can do to change direction.
All that has changed for Griffin this year, however. While not a finished product, he has made a concerted effort to add some shake to his face-up game, setting up moves by facing the defender in open space, and not relying on straight line drives with a spin to change direction.
That Griffin is still experimenting with these new skills was obvious in the Clippers' loss to San Antonio on Wednesday night: Griffin constantly found himself attempting to dribble by Tim Duncan and DeJuan Blair after face-ups, but he was largely unsuccessful. However, Griffin's continued development as a player requires he attempt (and occasionally fail) at plays like this—the long-term benefits are worth these initial struggles.
The other piece that makes it easier to guard Griffin when he attempts his face-up & shake moves is the lack of a jumper on the catch or off the dribble. Because defenders are not as concerned about him shooting jump shots, they can take better angles on him when he drives and prevent him from getting to prime operational areas. This is definitely the next major area for Griffin to address in his game.
The amazing thing is that we are talking about all the improvement Blake Griffin has made, is making, and needs to make; yet, he was an All-Star selection in his first year in the league. The growth potential for this young player is amazing, and he seems ready, willing and able to take on the challenge. That may be the brightest news for the Los Angeles Clippers in this young season.
76ers taking next steps
Last March, I wrote about the way the Philadelphia 76ers were spacing the floor offensively, and how their entire attack had a fundamental "correctness" to it that could lead to real success as the players matured and grew together. Their offense looks similarly efficient and unselfish this season, with players knowing and accepting roles. However, the real key for their ability to take the next step might be their commitment to the defensive end.
The easiest way to put it is this: they simply don't make a lot of mistakes, and that makes them the most unselfish team in the league on the defensive end. Being unselfish on the defensive end means never taking unnecessary risks to force the action. It means staying disciplined on the ball, not reaching to become off-balance, and not negating hustle by fouling. It means creating a solid rebounding triangle on every single shot attempt, and it means getting hands up to challenge every catch. It means they communicate, in simple and direct ways, and they accept the information shared by teammates and apply it into each situation.
The Philadelphia 76ers do those things. That type of play is infectious—every player has committed to playing that way, doing their individual job, and then letting the chips fall where they may as a result. It is refreshing basketball to watch, because it is ruthlessly efficient and focused with one goal in mind… winning.
Whether the Sixers can keep their current commitment or not is the test of a long season. Today their chances of finishing with a higher seed than last year look good, and that kind of team success encourages their great defensive effort. Their lack of a bona-fide star (or two) can be masked if they are able to convert turnovers and missed jump shots from their opponents into easy scores at the other end through transition.
It will not be easy for Philadelphia to continue on their current path. Playing selfless, solid, mistake-free defense is very hard and requires a lot of concentration and commitment to detail. Will they have the discipline to pull it off? Only time will tell.

Thanks for the link Crowv, yeh I really like them! They are adorable and have inspired me to make a cup of tea
Hi TeaMonster. Was just browsing some sculpture forums and found this on Devient art. It made me think of you lol. Hope u like it http://browse.deviantart.com/traditi...t=624#/d38un0w
I hope to do yearly sculpting comps, announced in the 3d section or check my website
Just wondering whether there's going to be another 3D competition this year, like Halo Mission. Ta, Yowza.
Its so nice of you to have replied... i tried out wat u said earlier (i read the same thing u told me in some official thread) BUt that didnt work then.. But today i tried it again and it miraculously worked. i guess its some wierd bug thanks for the help anyway
hey there tea monster-- thanxx for the comment. Man, i kinda have this problem with my clay sculpting thread. there is no longer an image next to my -thread title- in the list of titles in the forum. Its really frustrating. I am trying to find a fix. But have so far drawn a blank. I see that a number of threads seem to have the same problem(No image next to their title). As it is really less people have commented on my thread. But no display image next to the title in the list means that even less guys will show any interest. I have to fix this. Do you know how i can get this done???

Traffic [DVD]
Screenplay : Stephen Gaghan (based on the miniseries Traffik created by Simon Moore)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2000
Stars : Michael Douglas (Robert Wakefield), Don Cheadle (Montel Gordon), Benicio Del Toro (Javier Rodriguez Rodriguez), Luis Guzman (Ray Castro), Dennis Quaid (Arnie Metzger), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Helena Ayala), Steven Bauer (Carlos Ayala), Jacob Vargas (Manolo Sanchez), Erika Christensen (Caroline Wakefield), Clifton Collins Jr. (Francisco Flores), Miguel Ferrer (Eduardo Ruiz), Topher Grace (Seth Abrahams), Amy Irving (Barbara Wakefield)
Steven Soderbergh's Traffic is about the ultimate futility of the current war on drugs. In a lean, taut two and a half hours, Soderbergh and screenwriter Stephen Gaghan, a former writer for N.Y.P.D. Blue, weave an Altmanesque multi-layered narrative that covers every aspect of the illegal drug trade between Mexico and the United States. With more than 20 major characters, Traffic shows, with painful, indelible clarity, how the drug trade affects people from all walks of life, from the richest to the poorest, from the powerful to the powerless, and how this trade is, for all intents and purposes, unstoppable.
This point is most caustic when, near the end, Robert Wakefield (Michael Douglas), a well-respected Ohio supreme court justice who has been picked to fill the chief position in the U.S. Office of Drug Policy, attempts to give his first press-conference speech. Wakefield has spent the majority of the film dealing with his 16-year-old daughter, Caroline (Erika Christensen), who has been on a rapid descent into the world of drug abuse. Wakefield attempts give the reporters what they want: positive, strong rhetoric about the need to fight the influx of illegal drugs. When he gets to the point where he is about to list his 10-point plan, he breaks down and cannot go on any more. It is key that he finally breaks at this point in the speech because it underlines how ineffective 10-point plans are in battling a multi-billion industry.
A similar, but different, moment occurs earlier when Wakefield asks a group of advisors to "think outside the box" for other ways to stop the drug trade. He is met with awkward silence because they are incapable of doing such a thing. Like the overlong involvement in Vietnam, the war on drugs is so entrenched in its own logic that it cannot see any other alternatives.
Having said all that, I want to make clear that Traffic is not a one-note film. Had it been that, it might not have been so memorable. On the contrary, it deals with the issues in a multifaceted manner; and, even though its overall message is one of despair, there are moments of hope. Even amid all the defeats in the battle to control the drug trade, there are still true believers, and the film strongly asserts that treatment and familial support for drug addicts is worth more than all the border inspections in the world.
One of the true believers is Montel Gordon (Don Cheadle), a DEA investigator who, along with his partner, Ray Castro (Luis Guzman), busts a small-time drug wholesaler named Eduardo Ruiz (Miguel Ferrer). In a plea bargain, Ruiz agrees to give them information about his main supplier, who turns out to be a wealthy husband and father named Carlos Ayala (Steven Bauer). Ayala is, perhaps, the most sinister of all because he is the kind of criminal who hides behind a thick mask of respectability. A pillar of his community who owns multiple legitimate businesses and hosts charity fundraisers at his multi-million-dollar home, he is actually one of the major suppliers of cocaine to all of California.
Ayala keeps this secret so well hidden, though, that not even his pregnant wife, Helena (Catherine Zeta-Jones), knows about it until he is arrested. A substantial portion of the film follows Helena and her response to the discovery of her husband's secret business dealings. The results are chilling, as we watch a woman turn into a ruthless, calculating criminal capable of ordering an assassination all because she is afraid of being alone, something she has never experienced before.
Another major narrative thread concerns Javier Rodriguez Rodriguez (Benicio Del Toro), a Mexican cop who becomes involved with a Mexican army general who is battling a huge drug cartel for multiple reasons, not all of which are honorable. Javier is a complex character who goes through multiple changes throughout the film--it is hard to tell absolutely on which side he stands at any given point. Of course, he works as a police officer in Mexico, a country in which, as one character puts it, being a police officer is an entrepreneurial position.
The narrative in Traffic, which was based on a 1989 British miniseries of the same name (but spelled Traffik) that dealt with the European drug flow, is particularly adept at getting underneath the political rhetoric and middle-class assumptions about what the drug trade is. In fact, the film only seems to scratch the surface, suggesting an infinity of possibilities. The fact that corrupt Mexican officials and police officers use desperate, poor men to smuggle the drugs over the border, which are then taken by wealthy Americans and parceled out to street thugs and dealers, who then sell to everybody from pathetic junkies to wealthy suburban kids shows how the trade encompasses the totality of life in North America.
The most harrowing moments in Traffic, though, deal with Michael Douglas' character and his fight to save his daughter. The film suggests that he is partially to blame; as a politically active judge with a time-consuming career, he has not had the time to deal with a daughter in the thralls of adolescent angst. One of the harshest criticisms leveled by the film is that his daughter, Caroline, is particularly susceptible to drugs because she is rich and bored and, most importantly, has easy access. Led by another teenager, Seth (Topher Grace, many degrees removed from his lead role on the teen sitcom That '70s Show), she indulges in free-basing cocaine as a form of escape. But, that escape becomes a sharp descent that leads her from a privileged life in the suburbs to a strung-out existence in the ghetto where she will do anything, including selling her own body, for a hit.
Soderbergh directs Traffic with a sure hand, juggling multiple plots and dozens of characters with apparent ease. Despite the quick introductions and necessarily brief screen time that is spent with some of characters, all of them still emerge as fully realized. This is due in no small part to the fine performances--not a single character rings false or forced. What could have been tacky melodrama between Douglas' character and his daughter is instead touching and sincere. Douglas, despite his anger, reacts as a loving father, and one of the most heart-breaking scenes in the film is when he finally tracks Caroline down and, having found her naked in a sleazy motel, strung out and delirious, strokes her hair and cries.
The visual style of Traffic is also quite striking. Soderbergh, who acted as his own cinematographer, relies heavily on slightly unstable hand-held camerawork. He also uses special multi-stage film processing to give the scenes in Mexico a ragged, bleached look that contrasts with the sharper, blue-hued scenes in which politicians discuss and debate in large governmental buildings in the United States. He also adds some aesthetic flourishes, such as a gripping car-bomb sequence shot in slow motion in which all the sound drops out except for the musical score.
But, again, the film ultimately works not because of the style, but because of the characters and the storytelling. Soderbergh may not be telling us anything we don't already know--many rational people who have no interest in using drugs have nonetheless begun to concede the futility and monetary wastefulness of the drug war. But, he does it so well with so many intriguing and moving characters that the film takes hold of you and keeps you wrapped in its grip.

1.85:1 (Anamorphic) Steven Soderbergh gave Traffic a unique visual look that utilizes several visual schemes to differentiate among plot threads. The new anamorphic widescreen transfer on this disc, created from a 35mm interpositive, captures all of these visual schemes perfectly. The blue-tinted scenes are crisp and sharp, while the yellowish, desaturated scenes in Mexico are appropriately severe in their contrast and graininess. At Soderbergh's request, Criterion has used burned-in subtitles during the length sequences in Spanish, as opposed to player-generated electronic subtitles, in order to more accurately reflect the film's theatrical presentation. | |
English/Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround, Dolby Digital 2.0 surround Traffic also has a unique sound mix that was designed to add to its sense of realism. Rather than utilizing all the channels, the sound designer down-mixed everything into one-channel monaural, with the exception of Cliff Martinez's musical score. Thus, all dialogue and sound effects come out of the center channel, which aurally matches the film's slightly shaky, documentary-like aesthetic. However, when Martinez's music comes on, it swells from the full 5.1 channels, giving it a sweeping, all-encompassing sensation that is quite beautiful. | |
Three Audio Commentaries: Director Steven Soderbergh is near the top of my list of directors I always find fascinating to listen to in audio commentaries. Perhaps it is because he is one of the few fiery independent directors to have worked successfully in the Hollywood mainstream, or perhaps it is because he is so thoroughly knowledgeable about and in love with the medium of the cinema, but he is consistently engaging and informative, even during a lengthy film like Traffic. Here, he teams up with the other Stephen, writer Stephen Gaghan, to discuss the making of Traffic on the first of three audio commentaries on this disc. They have a loose, easy-going rapport, giving plenty of background information and technical details, as well as amusing anecdotes and more than a few regrets about what they might have done had they known the film was going to turn out to be such a hit. The second audio commentary includes producers Edward Zwick, Marshall Herskovitz, and Laura Bickford and consultants Tim Golden, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist with The New York Times, and Craig Chretien, former DEA Chief of Intelligence. Each was recorded separately and discusses different elements of the film. The most intriguing parts come from the two consultants, who talk candidly about the film's verisimilitude, which, for the most part, is quite high. The third audio track isolates the film's score in down-mixed two-channel stereo with commentary between the cues by composer Cliff Martinez, who has worked with Soderbergh on eight films. Because the film doesn't feature nearly as much music as the typical Hollywood production, there is quite a bit of space for Martinez to elaborate on his working methods, the various musicians involved, and what he was aiming for with each musical cue. 25 Deleted Scenes (with optional commentary by Soderbergh and Gaghan) Film Processing Demonstration Editing Demonstration Dialogue Editing Demonstration Additional Footage The first scene, which is a lecture given at the El Paso Intelligence Center, has three camera positions. The second scene, which is rough tracking footage of an enormous warehouse where law enforcement agencies store seized drugs, offers an optional audio commentary by Traffic adviser Craig Chretien. The third scene, additional footage at the Georgetown cocktail party, gives us raw footage of Michael Douglas talking drug enforcement with 11 different real-life politicians and media celebrities, from Senator Orrin Hatch to MTV correspondent Chris Connelly (this section uses three angles and is divided into 11 chapters corresponding to each person). Finally, there is a longer scene with Erika Christensen and Topher Grace walking in the city to buy drugs, which shows us three different takes, with takes 1 and 2 offering two different angles.

As a mostly presynaptic protein, αS is transcribed from five of the six exons of the SNCA gene and represents one of the most abundant proteins found in the adult nervous system. In the first of a series of five publications, Chartier-Harlin et al. last fall reported that a rare duplication event of the SNCA gene on one chromatid of chromosome 4, leading to a total of three SNCA gene copies, lies at the root of an aggressive Parkinsonian phenotype that encompasses early-onset PD with cognitive and autonomic dysfunction transmitted in an autosomal-dominant fashion. This report further strengthens the importance of the gene dosage effect of the SNCA gene in the pathogenesis of rare familial forms of the disorder, which was previously raised by two independent reports of triplication events in the SNCA gene (leading to a total of four copies) (Singleton et al., 2003; Farrer et al., 2004). Intriguingly, the copy number of the SNCA gene, its resultant transcription, and the severity of the phenotype appeared to correlate with the gene dosage in all these cases. That is consistent with the concept of a toxic gain-of-function effect of wild-type αS in this class of disorders that are generally referred to as "synucleinopathies."
Gispert et al., 2005 demonstrated that gene dosage changes were not found as the underlying mutant genotype in a European cohort of familial PD phenotypes from Germany, Portugal, and the former Yugoslavia. Thus, as expected, these multiplication events of the SNCA gene are (and will likely remain) rare and isolated contributors to the phenotype of PD. Even so, they may be just as significant to the understanding of PD pathology as APP gene dosage in Down syndrome is to the development of Alzheimer disease pathology.
The third paper discussed in this comment fits in logical succession with the body of work on gene dosage. It revisits the genetics of the SNCA promoter as a susceptibility factor for sporadic (not familial) PD (Pals et al., 2004). In it, Matt Farrer, Christine van Broeckhoven, and colleagues first confirmed previous reports that had postulated an association between the SNCA promoter and sporadic PD. In addition, the authors also characterized a "minimum promoter haplotype" of 15,338 bp that is overrepresented in their cohort of 175 patients from Belgium and that may act as a susceptibility factor for PD development. The implication from such a positive association of a distinct SNCA promoter haplotype with sporadic PD is that the expression levels of the αS protein would be increased in vivo in contrast to an allele carrying a promoter haplotype not associated with PD. This hypothesis can now be tested in detail in cellular promoter activity assays, as used, for example, by Chiba-Falek and Nussbaum in the past.
A fourth study provides additional genetic input to the list of susceptibility factors in sporadic PD. Ellen Sidransky and her colleagues at the NIH (Varkonyi et al., 2003) first observed Parkinsonism in a subgroup of patients with a genetically defined glycosphingolipid storage disorder called Gaucher's disease. Last November, Aharon-Peretz et al. added further evidence to this association when they reported a statistically significant occurrence of gene mutations in the glucocerebrosidase-encoding gene (GBA) among Ashkenazi Jews with sporadic PD who showed no signs of Gaucher's disease (Aharon-Peretz et al., 2004). In their study, 31 percent of sporadic PD patients had either one or two mutant GBA alleles, in contrast to only 4 percent of people with sporadic Alzheimer disease. The underlying molecular pathway between altered GBA genotypes and the development of PD remains to be determined, in particular whether glucocerebrosidase activity (which, when absent, results in Gaucher's disease phenotype) intersects with other known PD-associated gene products.
Lastly, the fifth paper, by Patrick Aebischer's group, provides an intriguing animal model by pairing the authors' previously developed toxic in vivo model of human αS overexpression by lentiviral delivery with the neuroprotective effects of the concomitant delivery of wild-type parkin (LoBianco et al., 2004). Numerous studies have linked the latter protein to monogenic forms of PD in a loss-of-function type (e.g., Hedrich et al., 2002). Many researchers see overexpression of neural parkin as a valid therapeutic goal to confer protection of dopaminergic cells from PD-related insults. The Aebischer group demonstrated just that by showing a significant reduction of mutant, human αS (A30P)-induced neuronal loss in the nigrostriatal pathway by parkin overexpression. In association with this neuroprotection, they observed an increase in αS-positive inclusions. It remains unknown which mechanism underlies the significant protection of the dopamine-producing cells in this rat model, and whether parkin intersects with αS metabolism directly or indirectly. Even so, the authors suggested that these results were consistent with a contributing role for parkin in inclusion (Lewy body) formation in vivo, as has been suggested by past immunohistochemical studies in human PD tissue (Schlossmacher et al., 2002).
Together, these studies highlight three issues:
1. steady-state levels of αS are important in the pathogenesis of PD in the adult human brain, and multiple pathways potentially contribute to its control;
2. an important question is whether the nucleotide sequence, the rate of transcription, or the protein product of the SNCA gene could serve as a biomarker for PD;
3. the concept of increased parkin expression is being validated as a therapeutic target; this goal is of equal importance to the desired downregulation of α-synuclein expression in vivo. View all comments by Michael Schlossmacher

Steve liked this post02-17-2013, 02:44 PM #6I have had the atomic wings at quaker steak and lube, where you have to sign the waver. I did not think that they were that hot. I would love to find a place that has ghost pepper sauce. I like things hot! We grow habanero, cayenne and serrano peppers in out garden every year. Friends and I have a few drinks and then challenge each other to eating habaneros, you actually get used to it. We also use the last harvest to make and jar Habanero jelly. It is pretty good. It starts out with a sweet taste because of all the sugar and then it starts burning. I am going to try to order some ghost pepper seeds this year.

we have buffalo wild wings down here in texas, and there blazin wing challenge just aint crap... my dad would get the 50 wing bucket to take home and he would always complain to the manager how they aint hot enough (my father is a HEAT FREAK) and if we didnt finish them together, i'd wake up in the morning and it would be my breakfast...
i actually swore to myself that i would never eat a ghost pepper, not for fear of how hot they are, because i like hot things, but because of fear of what they might do to my insides lol..... but i was with my fraternity and its our tradition that all pledge classes must at least try the ghost wing challenge and I decided to do it with them, because we used to do the blazin challenge at BWW but found that the ghost peppers are WAY hotter so my pledge class was the last at BWW and i never tried the ghost peppers until now.
02-18-2013, 01:10 AM #8I was doing some research as it is almost time to get me garden seeds germinated and growing so I have plants in the spring. Apparently, there is a new pepper the Trinidad Scorpion Moruga they are 2,009,231 SHU on the Scoville scale. It is $10 for 10 seeds, which is pretty spendy for seeds. It is the world record holder for "hotness"! I am considering them but, I have two small kids that like to grab vegetables out of the garden and eat them while they are playing in the yard. They have another pepper that is hotter than the ghost that claims that one pepper is enough for 7 pots of chile.

England will hone their preparations for Rugby League World Cup 2013 with an International Origin Game against the Exiles at The Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington, on Friday June 14.
The showdown against the cream of Super League's southern hemisphere talent will be England's only competitive fixture this year before they face Australia in the opening fixture of RLWC2013 on October 26.
The International Origin matches have grown in stature and intensity since their inception in 2011 and England coach Steve McNamara believes this year's fixture will be the biggest yet.
"It's a massive game for England and every English player who aspires to being involved in our plans for the World Cup," said McNamara. "International Origin offers us a great opportunity to continue the progress we have experienced as a group over the last few years and take an important step towards the World Cup.
"However, it's not just about the World Cup: this is very much a fixture we will be looking to win. There is always a lot of needle between the England and Exiles players ahead of the Origin game and I'm sure that between now and then we will see a massive hunger to be involved in this fixture from every player in Super League.
"We are delighted by the choice of venue: there's always a terrific atmosphere at The Halliwell Jones Stadium and the players all like playing there. "It's going to be a big night for everybody and we're really looking forward to it."
The process of appointing a coach for the Exiles in 2013 is currently ongoing and details will be confirmed over the coming months.
Tickets for the 2013 International Origin Game at The Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington, will go on general sale from Monday February 25.

I was out last night at a friend's house, they served what I would call chutney. I said, "This chutney is amazing". To which they replied, "Do you mean the relish?"
What is the difference between a chutney and a relish?
I was out last night at a friend's house, they served what I would call chutney. I said, "This chutney is amazing". To which they replied, "Do you mean the relish?" Awkward! What is the difference between a chutney and a relish? |
It depends on what cuisine it is, though all chutneys and relishes are used as condiments/sides. In European cuisine, chutneys tend to be jammier and involve fruit of some kind. Relishes, like Elendil mentions, are usually made from pickled vegetables. As far as I have experienced, the chutney moniker is used when non traditional ingredients are involved Mango chutney, ginger mint chutney) whereas a relish is used when it is made from slightly more familiar ingredients like dill, cucumber etc (This is with regard to non Indian cuisine). In Indian cuisine (which is where the chutney moniker originated from), chutneys are thinner and are almost always savory, even when they involve a fruit(eg., mango chutney will have chillies and salt in it). Indian chutneys involve herbs and chillies and sometimes even nuts/lentils. The texture difference comes from the fact that it is usually blended/pureed and usually water based. But then again, you would not have landed in this situation if the meal was Indian, as there is no concept of a relish there. | ||||
First, let me sympathise with your excruciating social predicament. However, it really was avoidable, since you are both correct. While there is no official ruling on the matter, it is reasonable to say that a chutney is a type of relish. The Oxford English Dictionary defines a relish (in the sense of a foodstuff) thuswise: and a chutney: So a chutney is a specific type of relish. If I might be permitted to add a personal slant to proceedings, in my experience they are usually a thicker, sweeter, jammier affair involving fruit of some kind, whereas a relish is more savoury. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Chutneys are lumpier (example: Branston pickle) than relishes, which are much smoother and more finely chopped, in my experience. | |||

COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Tajikistan is a small land-locked country that borders Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, China, and Afghanistan and is home to some of the highest mountains in the world. Tajikistan is the poorest of the former Soviet republics in Central Asia. It is a nominally constitutional, democratic, and secular republic, dominated by President Emomali Rahmon who has been in power since 1992. Tourist facilities are undeveloped and many goods and services usually available in other countries are unavailable. Read the Department of State's Fact Sheet on Tajikistan for additional information.
SMART TRAVELER ENROLLMENT PROGRAM (STEP) / EMBASSY LOCATION: If you are going to live in or visit Tajikistan, please take the time to tell our Embassy about your trip. If you enroll, we can keep you up to date with important safety and security announcements. It will also help your friends and family get in touch with you in an emergency. Here's the link to the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program.
U.S. Embassy Dushanbe

Dushanbe, Tajikistan

Facsimile: 992-37-229-2050
ENTRY / EXIT REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS: A valid passport and visa are required to enter and exit Tajikistan, as well as to register at hotels. Your visa should be valid for the entire period of stay in-country and ideally, you should request a visa that allows for changing travel dates. If you do not have a valid visa, you may be required to leave the country immediately.
If you travel to Tajikistan from countries that have Tajik embassies or consulates,you must obtain your visa abroad prior to your travel. Tajikistan is represented by embassies and consulates in the following countries: the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Afghanistan (Kabul, Mazar-I-Sharif), Austria, Belarus, Belgium, China, Egypt, Germany, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, the Russian Federation, Turkey, Turkmenistan, the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), and Uzbekistan.
If you travel to Tajikistan from countries in which there are no Tajik embassies or consulates,you may apply for a visa at the Dushanbe International Airport upon arrival.
To apply for a tourism (T) visayou need two visa application forms, your travel itinerary, two passport photos (3x4 cm), a U.S. passport with at least six months validity beyond the duration of your planned stay in Tajikistan, and two photocopies of the biographical page of your passport. Tourist visas are issued for a duration not exceeding 45 days and cannot be extended or replaced. If you are issued a tourist visa you should leave the country before the visa expiration date. All other types of visa applicants must have Tajik visa support in the form of a letter from the Tajik Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) confirming that a visa may be issued upon arrival at the Dushanbe airport. This "upon arrival" visa service does not apply to any other Tajik airports or land borders. Receiving a visa at the Dushanbe airport may also entail some waiting time at the airport's Consular Bureau, which in rare cases, may not be staffed.
To receive your visa support, the organization that invited you to Tajikistan must submit a request to the MFA at least two weeks in advance of your planned travel date. If you are invited by a private Tajik resident (e.g., a friend or relative), he or she first needs to obtain a notification letter from the Department of Visas and Registration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (OVIR). Obtaining the notification letter can take up to 45 days, after which the Tajik resident should request your visa support letter from the MFA. A copy of the MFA visa support letter should be sent to you. The original will be filed with the Consular Bureau at the Dushanbe airport.
If you plan to stay in Tajikistan three days or more, within three days of arrival, you must obtain a Tajik visa registration stamp in your passport. Official travelers, employees of international organizations, and journalists must register with the MFA. All other travelers must register with OVIR. Tourism (T) visa holders who plan to stay in Tajikistan less than 30 days are exempted from this rule. If you plan to stay for more than 30 days, you must register with OVIR prior to the 30 day limit. A few hotels in Dushanbe are also allowed to register foreign citizens staying at their hotels. If you fail to register your visa, airport immigration authorities may prohibit your exit from Tajikistan until you have paid a fine and obtained a registration stamp from the MFA or OVIR.
Entry into the Gorno-Badakhshan region, both from inside and from outside Tajikistan, requires a special permit in advance in addition to a valid Tajik visa. You can obtain this permit at Tajik embassies and consulates abroad, or by applying to the MFA or OVIR once in Tajikistan. Tajik authorities advise sponsoring organizations in Tajikistan to submit their authorization requests at least two weeks in advance of the planned travel. If your request is granted, the names of the settlements and cities you are authorized to visit are annotated in your passport. The permit is not listed on your visa.

Visit the Embassy of Tajikistan website for the most current visa information.
Transit Visas: If you transit through Russia en route to a third country you should consult the U.S. Embassy Moscow website for up-to-date information regarding transit visas for Russia. Even if you are simply changing planes in Russia for an onward destination you may be asked to present a transit visa issued by a Russian Embassy or Consulate. If you do not have a transit visa you may be required to immediately return to the point of embarkation at your own expense. Please note it is not possible to obtain a Russian visa at the airport. Arrival without an appropriate visa may result in additional restrictions on future travel to Russia.
Note: Departure options from Tajikistan may be limited in an emergency. You can maximize your departure options by obtaining extended visas for travel to countries with reliable connections to Tajikistan, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Russia. Other destinations, including Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Germany offer at least one flight a week and do not require U.S. citizens to obtain visas in advance. Please note, however, that in emergency situations, flights may be suspended.
Some HIV/AIDS entry restrictions exist for visitors to and foreign residents of Tajikistan. Visitors and foreign residents who will be in Tajikistan for more than 90 days must present a medical certificate showing that they are HIV-free, or to submit to an HIV test in Tajikistan. Please verify this information with the Embassy of Tajikistan before you travel.
Information about dual nationality or the prevention of international child abduction can be found on our website. For further information about customs regulations, please read our Customs Information page.
THREATS TO SAFETY AND SECURITY: Supporters of terrorist groups such as the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), the Islamic Jihad Union (IJU), al-Qaida, and the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement as well as anti-Western, anti-Semitic extremist organizations such as Hizb'ut-Tahrir have expressed anti-U.S. sentiments and may attempt to target U.S. government or private interests in the region, including in Tajikistan.
Terrorist attacks involving the use of suicide bombers have occurred in Tajikistan and in neighboring Uzbekistan. Minor explosions occasionally occur in Dushanbe and rarely cause serious injuries or damage. From time to time, the Tajik government conducts counter-terrorist operations in areas outside Dushanbe. In July 2012, Tajik military forces conducted operations in Khorog, the capital of the Gorno-Badakshan region in eastern Tajikistan, causing instability and disruptions for visitors and the local population. Although there have been rare instances of criminal or terrorist groups specifically targeting U.S. citizens or foreigners, you should take care to abide by government-imposed restricted areas. Additionally, insurgent activity in neighboring Afghanistan could also affect the security situation along the border and in Tajikistan. You should exercise extra caution if traveling in border provinces.
Because of increased security at official U.S. facilities, terrorists may seek softer civilian targets such as residential areas, clubs and restaurants, places of worship, hotels, outdoor recreation events, and other venues. The limited number of facilities catering to Westerners in Tajikistan presents a heightened risk. You should also avoid demonstrations and large crowds. Demonstrations and mobs are rare in Tajikistan since the 1992–1997 civil war, and police reaction to such behavior is unpredictable.
Stay up to date by:
CRIME: The level of criminal activity in Dushanbe is moderate to high. Of significant concern is the inability of Tajikistan's law enforcement entities to provide adequate and immediate assistance. Lack of manpower, low salaries, and inadequate training all contribute to a lack of professionalism among law enforcement entities. Tajikistan's struggling economy and high unemployment have resulted in incidents of street crime, including pick-pocketing, muggings, and armed robberies. Alcohol-related incidents such as drunk driving are common. Criminals are not deterred by the risk of confrontation and tend to operate in groups of two or more to decrease their chances of arrest. When crimes do occur, they can be violent in nature. Additionally, the lack of a free media and infrequent government outreach through the media do not provide the average citizen with current and accurate information to make informed decisions about safety. Government statistics are typically inaccurate because many crimes are not reported to law enforcement organizations. Often police refuse to open minor or routine cases that seem too difficult to resolve.
Crimes of opportunity can occur against anyone, and you are reminded to be careful and cautious in your own personal security, whether within the city limits of Dushanbe or in the more remote areas of the country. You should be aware that danger increases after dark, and to use caution when traveling alone or on foot after dark. The U.S. Embassy encourages visitors to travel in pairs and to notify colleagues of their whereabouts when not working, especially during evening hours. It is wise to refrain from wearing expensive jewelry or anything that may indicate that you have any amount of wealth. Travelers are also encouraged to carry a copy of their passport (separate from their wallets) to speed up issuance of a new passport in case of theft.
Don't buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if they are widely available. Not only are the bootlegs illegal in the United States, if you purchase them you may also be breaking local law.
VICTIMS OF CRIME: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a crime abroad, you should contact the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. We can:
The local equivalent to the "911" emergency line in Tajikistan is:
01 - fire, 02 - police, 03 – ambulance
Please see our information for victims of crime, including possible victim compensation programs in the United States.
CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While you are traveling in Tajikistan, you are subject to its laws even if you are a U.S. citizen. Foreign laws and legal systems can be vastly different from our own. In some places you may be taken in for questioning if you don't have your passport with you. In some places it is illegal to take pictures of certain buildings. In some places driving under the influence could land you immediately in jail. These criminal penalties will vary from country to country. There are also some things that might be legal in the country you visit, but still illegal in the United States, and you can be prosecuted under U.S. law if you buy pirated goods. Engaging in sexual conduct with children or using or disseminating child pornography in a foreign country is a crime prosecutable in the United States. If you break local laws in Tajikistan, your passport won't help you avoid arrest or prosecution. It's very important to know what's legal and what's not in the countries where you are going.
Persons violating Tajik laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Penalties for possessing, using, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Tajikistan are severe, and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines.
The Government of Tajikistan may enforce strict customs regulations. Customs authorities may subject all items, including travel souvenirs, imported into or exported from Tajikistan to a high level of scrutiny. The export of antiques, precious stones and metals, and cultural valuables requires special permission. The number of items that can be exported may be limited. It is illegal to export or possess unprocessed stones and metals and jewelry without a hallmark (mark of authenticity). Even if travelers have a receipt confirming legal purchase of such items at a store in Tajikistan, the items must be declared upon departure. Failure to abide by Tajik customs laws and regulations may result in heavy fines, arrest, or imprisonment.
There are also currency restrictions. You must fill out a Customs Declaration Form upon arrival in Tajikistan, have it stamped by Tajik customs officials at the port of entry and retain the form until your departure to demonstrate that you are not leaving Tajikistan with more money than you brought into the country. Please contact the Embassy of the Republic of Tajikistan in the United States for specific information about customs requirements.
While some countries will automatically notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate if a U.S. citizen is detained or arrested in a foreign country, that might not always be the case. To ensure that the United States is aware of your circumstances, request that the police and prison officials notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate as soon as you are arrested or detained overseas.
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES: Tajikistan has a cash-only economy. International banking services are limited, but ATM machines have been installed in various locations. Cash is dispensed in both U.S. and local currency. Few establishments in the country accept credit cards and none accepts travelers' checks. Tajikistan's national currency is the Somoni, which is convertible.
The Republic of Tajikistan does not recognize dual citizenship with most countries, including the United States. An exception is with Russia, where dual citizenship is regulated by a special interstate agreement). Dual nationals who attempt to leave Tajikistan on U.S. passports without valid Tajik visas in them are likely to have problems with immigration authorities upon departing Tajikistan.
Travelers to Tajikistan are subject to frequent document inspections by local police. You are strongly encouraged to carry copies of your U.S. passport, Tajik visa, and visa registration at all times (including while traveling within Tajikistan) so that proof of identity, U.S. citizenship, and valid visa status in Tajikistan are readily available. Always check your visa and registration validity dates so that these documents can be renewed if necessary before they expire.
Travelers to Tajikistan should keep in mind that the rationing of electricity is an ongoing practice in Tajikistan - especially during the colder seasons of the year (i.e., from September to March). During the winter, it is not unusual for Dushanbe to be without electricity at night and sometimes even during the daytime. Wintertime brings even more severe limitations of electricity outside Dushanbe.
Tajikistan is an earthquake-prone country. General information about natural disaster preparedness is available via the internet from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Accessibility: When in Tajikistan, individuals with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different from what you find in the United States. Tajikistan has no laws regarding discrimination against persons with disabilities. Buildings, public transportation, communication, and road crossings are inaccessible.
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: The quality of Tajikistan's medical infrastructure is significantly below Western standards, with severe shortages of basic medical supplies, including disposable needles, anesthetics, prescription drugs, and antibiotics. Many trained medical personnel left the country during or after the civil war. Elderly travelers and those with pre-existing health problems may be at particular risk due to inadequate medical facilities.
Significant disease outbreaks are possible due to population shifts and a decline in some immunization coverage among the general population. There have been outbreaks of polio in the southwest areas of the country near the borders with Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, including the capital city Dushanbe; typhoid outbreaks in the Dushanbe area and in the south of the country; an outbreak of Congo Crimea hemorrhagic fever to the west of Dushanbe; and the risk of contracting malaria, cholera, and water-borne illnesses is high. Throughout Central Asia, infection rates of various forms of hepatitis and tuberculosis (including drug-resistant strains) are on the rise. Tuberculosis is an increasingly serious health concern in Tajikistan. For further information, please consult the CDC's information on TB.
It is advisable to drink only bottled or thoroughly boiled water while in Tajikistan.
The government of Tajikistan requires all foreign citizens who remain in the country for more than 90 days to present a medical certificate from a medical facility or to submit to an HIV test in Tajikistan if they are already in Tajikistan without such a certificate (with the exception of persons applying for diplomatic, official, investor, and humanitarian types of visas).
You can find good information on vaccinations and other health precautions on the CDC website. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, consult the World Health Organization (WHO) website. The WHO website also contains additional health information for travelers, including detailed country-specific health information.
MEDICAL INSURANCE: You can't assume your insurance will go with you when you travel. It's very important to find out BEFORE you leave whether or not your medical insurance will cover you overseas. You need to ask your insurance company two questions:
In many places, doctors and hospitals still expect payment in cash at the time of service. Your regular U.S. health insurance may not cover doctor and hospital visits in other countries. If your policy doesn't go with you when you travel, it's a very good idea to take out another one for your trip. For more information, please see our medical insurance overseas page.
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in Tajikistan, you may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning Tajikistan is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally accurate in any particular location or circumstance.
Travel to, from, and within Tajikistan is difficult and unreliable. Neighboring countries may unilaterally close borders and some borders are poorly delineated. Armed police or military checkpoints can make road travel outside Dushanbe more difficult. Crossing the Tajik-Uzbek border, in particular, has been known to present difficulties for drivers operating vehicles with non-Tajik government-issued plates. Road travel should be undertaken only in daylight hours and on routes known to the traveler or a reliable escort. Those traveling to Gorno-Badakhshan by car should do so only during daylight hours. The roads traverse mountainous terrain along the Afghan border that is difficult to navigate, even in daylight hours. If you are driving, be vigilant because pedestrians often tend to cross the street at inappropriate places or walk along the highway without paying attention to vehicular traffic. Also, erratic driving and car accidents are common. Traffic police are posted at stationary positions and checkpoints and along major roads. They are notorious for paying little if any attention to traffic safety issues, but rather for randomly pulling over cars and exacting bribes. In Dushanbe, expensive cars and those with government license plates routinely speed past police, sometimes on the wrong side of the road and through stoplights, while other cars are flagged down for "document checks."
Public transportation vehicles in the city are often overcrowded and not always safe. Bus services between major cities have been severely disrupted by border closures and should not be relied upon. The State Traffic Inspectorate (GAI, or in Tajiki, BDA), which has checkpoints in many cities and at regular intervals along all highways outside the city, frequently stops vehicles for inspection of both the vehicle and the driver's documents. The government will not register vehicles with darkly tinted windows. During the winter months, the potential dangers when traveling outside Dushanbe in the mountainous areas of the country are heightened. Every year, accidents and casualties occur on Tajikistan's mountain roads and passes, often when drivers ignore warnings not to travel over a closed mountain pass. Avalanches are a common occurrence in Tajikistan's mountains during the winter months. The tunnel bypassing the Anzob Pass is still not complete and you should try to obtain information regarding tunnel conditions before traveling via this route. The alternate Anzob Pass road is not maintained. Please exercise caution and limit winter travel to Tajikistan's mountain regions.
In certain parts of the country, including the Vakhsh and Rasht valleys and along the Afghan-Tajik border, land mines and cluster munitions form an additional hazard. If an area has land mine warning signs, or is marked off with red and white plastic tape, heed the warning and do not venture off the road. In all cases, do not pick up or handle anything that looks like unexploded munitions.
Emergency phone numbers in Tajikistan include: fire – 01, police – 02, ambulance – 03, state traffic control (GAI) duty officer – 235-4545.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information.
AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: As there is no direct commercial air service to the United States by carriers registered in Tajikistan, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the Government of Tajikistan's Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards. Further information may be found on the FAA's safety assessment page.
CHILDREN'S ISSUES: Please see our Office of Children's Issues web pages on intercountry adoption and international parental child abduction.

After suffering from Anxiety and De realization for over a week I started panicing about being in space and that I was on a planet
Has anyone else had these thoughts
After suffering from Anxiety and De realization for over a week I started panicing about being in space and that I was on a planet
Has anyone else had these thoughts
not so much about being in space, but I've thought like how do I know other countries exist etc if Im not there! All mad stuff, just tired mind I reckon!
Richard, I get derealized and start thinking about the universe and it really freaks me out. I'll be like "why am I alive" or "what happens when I die?". I've also thought about how weird it is to be on a planet. It's pointless to think about these things though. Just try to distract your brain with more productive thoughts.
Its good to know Im not the only one who thinks this stuff.
I guess eventually I'll just get bored of thinking about it.
I know it can't hurt me that we are in a big galaxy on a little ball going found the sun, but can't get a grip on what is actually scaring me about this. Unless its just a feeling of being insignificant that scares me, not sure. Or is it just my brain thats not good at the moment and once I get that right the thoughts will go
Hey Richard,
Existentialism is a freak out no matter who you are or how calm your foundation. We don't have all the answers for our existence and the fear of lack of purpose feeds that anxiety. Some things have not answer and if dwelling on them makes you nervous, then it's best to learn the art of distracting or controlling what your brain thinks about. You do have a choice as to what you think about. Although, consecutive thought is one of the most laborious tasks known to man.
I took CONTROL of my ANXIETY
and STOPPED my PANIC ATTACKS at
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
So whats the best thing to do then talk about this stuff with other people,
block it out or just accept it ?
As I said in my post about weird thoughts and feelings, this is really nothing more than reacting with fear to thoughts that are actually quite normal. These thoughts occur from time to time even without anxiety. But without anxiety, you are able to rationalize them, let them pass, or perhaps even make something interesting or enjoyable out of them. With anxiety, they take on a fearful note, often making you feel that you are going crazy. And because they are fearful, your brain locks onto them and makes them stick and return often - all because your brain was MADE to do this in order to protect you against threats (which is how it is viewing these thoughts). Try to accept the thoughts, stay calm, and pay these thoughts little to no attention. Recognize them as just an anxiety symptom.
So these thoughts are not actually causing the anxiety they are been caused by the anxiety itself and just adding to the worry.
So once I give my Brain time to relax and recover the thoughts should just past?
I do admit the thoughts don't cause me as much panic as before, more a feeling of "Errrr I dont really like that" so I guess Im getting better, Im also feeling alot more here now, not as much dream like.
I do notice that I get better towards the end of the day, but then seems to drop back a little again in the morning. Is this normal and can you recommend anything to help with this
The thoughts are not really caused by the anxiety. The thoughts simply come about because your brain tends to think about random things at times. It's kind of like the way that you might spontaneously think about an old Sesame Street episode you saw as a child while hiking up a 14000 foot peak (and yes, this HAS happened to me). Rather, your anxiety state is causing you to react to these thoughts with fear. And when they become fearful, your brain tends to focus in on them, which causes these thoughts to be persistent and recurrent. Why does this happen? Because the brain was MEANT to do this. By focusing on REAL threats and remembering them, you increase your odds of survival since it forces you to deal with them.Originally Posted by Richard77
Of course, scary thoughts about, say, space and time or the vastness of the universe are hardly theatening. And without anxiety, they can possibly make for some interesting conversation around a campfire. But when you have anxiety, they become fearful, and looked at as a threat. You might fear them because they seem like they could make you go crazy. On the other hand, not reacting to them with fear and letting them pass trains your brain not to be fearful of the thoughts. And if you are not fearful of them, your brain will no longer zero in on them. This is not to say they won't ever return. But they won't be so persistent. Also, by not being fearful, you will help your brain to recover from the anxiety state in general. And as you DO recover, you will find that you become less fearful of spontaneous thoughts.
As for feeling better at the end of the day than the morning, this is actually quite common for people with depression and anxiety. In fact, Claire Weekes refers to this as the 'dreaded morning feeling'. Her recommendation is to 'float' through it. In other words, try your best not to let this feeling hold you back or actively fight it, while you go about doing what you normally do when you get up. Listening to enjoyable, upbeat music when you get up might help as well.
Thanks thats really helpful and does make sense, the problem is at the moment it seems impossible to forget about these thoughts and to feel OK with them, I guess though if it wasn't space I thought of it would have been something else instead, ie death or the meaning of life or something else like that.
I do keep telling myself I've alway known stuff about space, infact people go to work and do it for a job, I just can't get my head round what is actually scaring me about it. It can't come and stab me or jump on me or cause any harm what so ever to me so why am I been so stupid.
Sorry to ramble on like this but I feel its better out than in

Herzog is gone forever, but his untimely death should not affect court proceedings or legislation approved by the California legislature designed to prevent the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) from releasing a parolee in a different county than the one in which they committed their offense without the mandatory notice required by California law.
So while I'm not jumping up and down for joy and deliriously dancing on Main Street, there is an upside to the news that convicted killer Loren Herzog apparently hanged himself inside a little trailer on state property outside High Desert State Prison last week — we never have to worry about him hurting another woman, and frankly I am more than quite happy about that.
For a number of years, the board has sought reasoned discourse on the matter — discussions based on facts and science rather than emotion.

JBB Antique Vintage Brass-Plated Pewter S-Cut Silver Ring
These antique vintage brass-plated pewter rings with s-cuts are a great, versatile addition to any jewelry maker's collection. Their antique brass color is accented by the delicate "s" shaped etching across the surface of the ring. Their antique finishing makes them perfect for adding a vintage touch to any piece of jewelry. The plating of this pewter component offers all the beauty of brass at a fraction of the cost. Jump rings are great all-purpose connectors, although you can also use them as primary components for chain maille and other types of jump ring jewelry. Closed jump rings are jump rings that have been soldered closed. By themselves, they lack the ability to attach to anything else. Because they do not open, they are especially useful on the end of a necklace for the clasp to hook on. Make sure to check out Artbeads.com's large selection of
base metal jump rings
