Polyandry (Greek: poly—many, andras—man) refers to a form of marriage in which a woman takes two or more husbands at the same time. Polyandry is prohibited by Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam and it is illegal in most countries, including those that permit polygyny. Even in cultures where it has been known, it is and has been extremely rare, and then only in particular and limited circumstances. In those cultures, the husbands were almost always from the same family. For example, the form of polyandry in which a woman is married to two or more brothers is known as fraternal polyandry, and it is believed by many anthropologists to be the most frequently encountered form.
Polyandry refers to a marriage in which sexual relations centre on the single wife and both/all men know of the existence of the other husbands. When the existence of an additional male is unknown it may be described as an affair.

According to inscriptions describing the reforms of the Sumerian king Urukagina of Lagash (ca. 2300 BC), the former custom of polyandry in his country was abolished, on pain of the woman taking multiple husbands being stoned with rocks upon which her crime is written.[1]
Polyandry in Tibet was a common practice and continues to a lesser extent today. Polyandry in India still exists among minorities, and also in Bhutan, and the northern parts of Nepal. Polyandry has been practised in several parts of India, such as Rajasthan, Ladakh and Zanskar, in the Jaunsar-Bawar region in Uttarakhand, among the Toda of South India,[2] and the Nishi of Arunachal Pradesh.[citation needed]
It also occurs or has occurred in Nigeria, the Nymba,[2] and some pre-contact Polynesian societies,[3] though probably only among higher caste women.[4] It is also encountered in some regions of Yunnan and Sichuan regions of China, among the Mosuo people in China, and in some sub-Saharan African such as the Maasai people in Kenya and northern Tanzania[5] and American indigenous communities. The Guanches, the first known inhabitants of the Canary Islands, practiced polyandry until their disappearance.[6] Polyandry was practiced in Celtic societies as women were allowed to own property and marry more than one husband. The Zo'e tribe in the state of Pará on the Cuminapanema River, Brazil, also practice polyandry.[7]
In other societies, there are people who live in de facto polyandrous arrangements that are not recognized by the law. Saskatchewan Canada is the only jurisdiction in North America to have "judicially sanctioned" polyandrous unions at a family law court level.[citation needed]
Polyandry is a controversial subject among anthropologists. For instance, Pennsylvania anthropologist Stephen Beckerman points out that at least 20 tribal societies accept that a child could, and ideally should, have more than one father, referring to it as "partible paternity."[8] On the other hand, in Tibet, which is the best-documented cultural domain within which polyandry is practiced, certain polyandrists themselves testify that the marriage form is difficult to sustain.[citation needed]
In Tibet, polyandry has been outlawed since the Chinese takeover of the area, so it is difficult to measure the incidence of polyandry in what may have been the world's most "polyandrous" society.[2]
In other parts of the world, most traditional societies have been drastically altered or destroyed, so the incidence of polyandry in the past may not be accurately known. In India, among Tibetan refugee groups who fled the Chinese takeover of their country, polyandry is seldom encountered.[citation needed]
The Hebrew Bible prohibits polyandry. For a woman to have sexual relations when she is married to another (which would include a situation such as polyandry) would constitute adultery. Leviticus 20:10 provides that "both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death." In addition, the children from that relationship are considered illegitimate (i.e., a mamzer).[9]
Christianity strongly advocates monogamous marriage, and consequently does not permit polyandry or polygyny.
Islam also prohibits polyandry.[10] Nikah Ijtimah is a pre-Islamic tradition of polyandry which was forbidden to Muslims.[11]
There is at least one reference to polyandry in the ancient Hindu epic Mahabharata. Draupadi marries the five Pandava brothers. This ancient text remains largely neutral to the concept of polyandry, accepting this as her way of life.[12] However, in the same epic, when questioned by Kunti to give an example of polyandry, Yudhisthira cites Gautam-clan Jatila (married to seven Saptarishis) and Hiranyaksha's sister Pracheti (married to ten brothers), thereby implying a more open attitude toward polyandry by the then Indian society.[13]
Some forms of polyandry appear to be associated with a perceived need to retain aristocratic titles or agricultural lands within kin groups, and/or because of the frequent absence, for long periods, of a man from the household. In Tibet the practice was particularly popular among the priestly Sakya class but also among poor small farmers who can ill afford to divide their small holdings. As to the latter variety, as some males return to the household, others leave for a long time, so that there is usually one husband present.
An extreme gender imbalance has been suggested as a justification for polyandry. For example, the selective abortion of female fetuses in India, it has been suggested, results in related men sharing a wife.[14] Gender imbalance in remote communities has also been reported as leading to several men "sharing" a woman, thereby reducing hostility among the men competing for the woman's attention.[citation needed]
Fraternal polyandry (from the Latin frater—brother) is a form of polyandry in which two or more brothers share one wife or more. It is also termed adelphogamy, but this term also has other meanings.[citation needed]
Fraternal polyandry is found in certain areas of Tibet and Nepal,[15] where polyandry is accepted as a social practice.[16] The Toda people of southern India practice fraternal polyandry, but monogamy has become prevalent recently.[17]
Apart from the famous example of fraternal polyandry in the Mahabharata between the five Pandava brothers and Draupadi, there are other instances, both in Hindu history and folklore. For example, in Mahabharata itself, when questioned by Kunti to give an example of polyandry, Yudhisthira cites Gautam-clan Jatila (married to seven Saptarishis) and Hiranyaksha's sister Pracheti (married to ten brothers), thereby implying a more open attitude toward polyandry by the then Indian society.[13] In contemporary Hindu society, many social scientists have expressed a fear of critical compulsion of polyandry in the near future, due to the rise such marriages in the agrarian societies in Malwa region of Punjab to avoid division of farming land.[18]
Fraternal polyandry achieves a similar goal to what primogeniture did in 19th-century England. Primogeniture dictated that the eldest son inherited the family estate, while younger sons had to leave home and seek their own employment. Primogeniture maintained family estates intact over generations by permitting only one heir per generation. Fraternal polyandry also accomplishes this, but does so by keeping all the brothers together with just one wife so that there is only one set of heirs per generation.[19]
This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (June 2011) |
Fraternal polyandry is permitted in Sri Lanka under Kandyan Marriage law, often described using the euphemism eka-ge-kama (literally "eating in one house")[35] . Associated Polyandry, or polyandry that begins as monogamy, with the second husband entering the relationship later, is also practiced[36] and it sometimes initiated by the wife[37].
In the field of behavioural ecology polyandry is a type of breeding adaptation in which one female mates with many males. Another opposite[44] breeding system to this is polygyny in which one male mates with many females (e.g., lions, deer, some primates, and many systems where there is an alpha male).
A common example of this can be found in the Field Cricket Gryllus bimaculatus of the invertebrate order Orthoptera (containing crickets, grasshoppers, and groundhoppers). Females in this species will mate with any male close to them, including siblings. Widely shown in frogs (Agile frogs, Rana dalmatina), polyandry was also documented in polecat (Mustela putorius) and other mustelids. Related to sexual conflict, Thierry Lodé[45] found possible explanations for polyandry include mate competition and inbreeding avoidance.
Polyandry also occurs in some primates such as marmosets, mammal groups, the marsupial genus' Antechinus and bandicoots, around 1% of all bird species, such as jacanas, insects such as honeybees, and fish such as pipefish. In effect polyandry will reduce the effective population size of a given closed population.[citation needed]
Some New World monkeys, for example Goeldi's Marmoset, have been observed living in polyandrous groups. Although groups may contain more than one female, the dominant female suppresses ovulation in subordinates, causing her to be the only one capable of reproduction. A Goeldi's Marmoset female regularly births more than one offspring, and her eggs are separately fertilized by more than one male. Paternal investment is high among Goeldi's Marmosets, and males often carry infants on their backs even if they are not the father of the infant. It has been suggested that multiple male mates were related, and therefore cooperation in caring for each other's young is adaptive; however, researchers tagged and tracked Goeldi's Marmosets over time, and noticed that unrelated males migrated to new groups to cooperate with nonrelatives as well as with relatives to care for young. It has also been suggested that females select cooperative males, and that the multiple offspring of Goeldi's Marmosets require paternal care for survival.[citation needed]
Current research suggests that polyandry is the dominant social structure in the Callitrichidae subfamily of New World monkeys.
The callitrichidae family includes marmosets and tamarins, two groups of small New World monkeys found in South America. Wild groups usually consist of three to ten individuals, with one reproductively active female, one or more reproductive males, and several nonreproductive helpers that can be either male or female. Interestingly, cooperative polyandry is not the only mating system found in these primates. Polyandrous, monogamous, and polygynous groups can be found within the same population, and a group can even change mating systems, making it the most flexible mating system of any non-human primate.[46] Unlike most primates who typically give birth to single young, twins are the average litter size for tamarins and marmosets. The entire group participates in raising the offspring, sharing the responsibilities of infant carrying, feeding, and grooming. The presence of nonreproductive helpers appears to be the most important factor in determining which mating system is used, as ecological and environmental variability have not been found to have a significant impact. Goldizen (1987) proposed the hypothesis that monogamy in callitrichidae should develop only in groups with nonreproductive helpers to help raise the young, and in the absence of these helpers, both polyandrous males and females would have higher reproductive success than those in lone monogamous pairs. Indeed, in studies of Saguinus fuscicollis, common name saddle-back tamarin, no monogamous lone pairs have ever been seen to attempt a breeding cycle.[47]
The term has gained some currency in sociobiology, where it refers, analogously, to a mating system in which one female forms more or less permanent bonds to more than one male. It can take two different forms. In one, typified by the Northern Jacana and some other ground-living birds, the female takes on much the same role as the male in a polygynous species, holding a large territory within which several males build nests. Subsequently, the female lays eggs in all the nests, and plays little part in parental care. In the other form, typified by the Galápagos Hawk, a group of two or more males (which may or may not be related) and one female collectively care for a single nest. The latter situation more closely resembles typical human fraternal polyandry.[citation needed]
These two forms reflect different resource situations: polyandry with shared parental care is more likely in very difficult environments, where the efforts of more than two parents are needed to give a reasonable chance of rearing young successfully.
Honeybees are said to be polyandrous because a queen typically mates with multiple males, even though mating is the only interaction that they have (the males die off, while the queen uses stored sperm for eggs she fertilizes).
Polyandry in primates and other mammals is usually correlated with reduced or reverse sexual dimorphism—females larger than males. When males of a species are much larger than females, polygyny is usually practiced. As size difference decreases, or the females are larger than males, a species is more likely to practice monogamy or polyandry. The great apes (gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees) are dimorphic and practice polygyny. Male and female gibbons (lesser apes) are similar in size and form monogamous pairs. Human males and females are less dimorphic in body size than other polygynous great apes. Conversely, birds of prey - which show distinct reverse sexual dimorphism—tend to be monogamous for long periods or mate for life; some species like the Snail kite will choose new mates every year, polygyny is noted in many Harriers and polyandry has been observed in the Harris' Hawk (notable for being the only bird of prey to regularly live and hunt in family and social groups[48]) and the aforementioned Galapagos hawk.[49]
Paternal investment is often high in polyandrous species.

Pick winners, union leader urges Labor
PUBLISHED: 22 May 2012 15:52:00 | UPDATED: 23 May 2012 04:44:09PUBLISHED: 23 May 2012 PRINT EDITION: 23 May 2012Pip Freebairn
The federal government should wind back some of Labor's reform legacy of the 1980s and develop an industry policy that picks winners, a leading unionist said yesterday as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development warned Australia against subsidising industry.
Australian Workers Union national secretary Paul Howes fired off a savage criticism of the federal government in a speech to the National Press Club yesterday calling for re-regulation of the banking sector and the exchange rate.
"It should be clear that the government has a role to play in securing our economic future," he said.
"But Canberra policymakers seem stuck in the mindset of passive government."
The government should bring back a policy of directing industry assistance to "winners", said the union leader once touted as a future Labor leader.
"We have effectively let the market pick winners for us, and the market has bet everything on a horse called the resources sector," he said.
The government should co-operate with industry to formulate "industry development plans" and have the "courage to pick winners".
Mr Howes's recommendation contrasted with the OECD's position in its six-monthly update, which was released yesterday.
The Paris think tank said governments must help facilitate adjustments that were needed by sectors of the economy hit by the high dollar and in need of higher productivity. But Australia must not impede "those changes by, for example, subsidising certain sectors", it said
A week after the labour movement celebrated the legacy of Bob Hawke, Paul Keating and Bill Kelty at the ACTU Congress, Mr Howes called on the government to intervene to ensure a "competitive currency".
"The reality is the Australian dollar is massively overvalued," Mr Howes said.
"The economy changes constantly, the structure changes, and now we are going through another big shift. Sometimes our policy settings will also need to change with them and we shouldn't be gun-shy of having that discussion."
The union leader pointed to Swiss central bankers who had intervened to slow the Swiss franc's rapid ascent owing to its safe-haven status during the European sovereign debt crisis.
Mr Howes also called for greater competition in the banking sector, which he said was dominated by large institutions, and asked the government to impose tighter regulations upon banks.
Lenders should be forced to move interest rates in line with changes by the Reserve Bank of Australia, he said, asking: "Why shouldn't it contain requirements that you in fact have to mirror the movements of the Reserve Bank?"
Banks did not pass on in full the latest 0.50 of a percentage point cut in the official RBA cash rate to lenders, citing increased funding costs.

When should I start my pepper & tomato seeds?
I am trying to learn when I must start the seeds indoors for placement into the ground I believe mid May, that's past the frost date for Zone 6. I usually buy the big plants thinking they will produce faster, which I beleive is a myth. For 2010 I want to try to grow the pepper and tomato plants myself from seeds.
This info taken from the seed packet of Early Girl Tomato:
Days to Germination 7 - 10
Days to Harvest 52 - 52
Assuming I would like to harvest my first early girl tomato on July 1st I have to put the started plants into the ground on or by May 22nd right? Ok that's the easy part.
Now...it gets tricky so hold on to your gardening hats....Q: How mature must the seedling plant be before I could place it into the ground mid May? In other words, during which month should i start my tomato seedlings indoors? Or my pepper seeds for that matter?
I dont understand WHEN to start any of my seedlings for my 3 types of peppers or my 4 kinds of tomatoes. It's my first year to try to grow seeds for these plants.
Can someone please help me with this part?
When you start them will depend on how diligent you want to be in babying your seedlings. If you are willing to do a lot of work potting them up, making sure they get lots of light and warmth, you can start them earlier and get earlier tomatoes. If you're not willing to do all of that, you should start them later.
I am also in Zone 6, though Idaho can vary a lot from PA. Last year, I started my peppers and tomatoes March 1, and planted out around May 15. The tomatoes were big and strapping by then, but I potted them up to gallon pots, and was putting them outdoors under plastic every day for a few weeks before transplanting. However, my peppers were smaller than I would have liked. This year I am buying a heat mat and starting the peppers and eggplant and 1-2 early tomatoes in mid-February to hopefully have bushy, 6" plants to put out in May. I will start the rest of my tomatoes on March 1 again this year. I picked my first Stupice tomato July 4 last year, and we had a cool, wet spring.
Tomato: 6-8 weeks before your avg last frost,
Pepper: 8-10 weeks.
In addition, you can stagger plantings I.E. 6, 7 and 8 wks to hedge your bets as sometimes cold weather might wipe out your newly transplanted plants or you might be able to get an unusually early start due to a warmer spring. Sometimes the two happen during the same spring. Other times it seems like spring will never come and the late planted seed will be in the best shape of all of the plantings.
I do this very commonly as there isn't a place to drive to within over an hour to get plants if mine don't work out. I ain't driving an hour to get a dozen tomato plants.
Ditto what michael said - standard experienced recommendation is Tomatoes: 6-8 weeks before your avg last frost date and Peppers: 8-10 weeks. Stretch it much more than that and you have older, stressed, and leggy transplants that don't tolerate hardening off or transplantation nearly as well.
That said, many still insist on starting them months before transplanting time. ;)
PS: there is a long "when to start 2010 transplants" discussion currently running on the Tomato forum here you might want to read.
I have found that peppers can handle an earlier start than tomatoes. They can do it without getting leggy (under the same light conditions as tomatoes). I snip off any flowers that form before putting them outside. In the north, it is tough to get much of a pepper crop over any length of time, so I start very early. It is true, you end up in larger cups, using more seed starter, but it is worth it. Setting out larger pepper plants brings in more of a crop--even if they take the same amount of time to set fruit as their smaller counterparts.
Tomatoes are very quick growers, so I only start as early as suggested on the pack or in books. Any earlier, and I find that they get leggy and sulk more than later started ones when planted out.
Eggplants can also be started very early like peppers. All three plants need good amounts of light, so I use a South-facing window WITH lights.
Hope this helps.
Hi marial1214,
I'm in your same zone in PA, mid-north Montgomery County. I set out my tomatoes about May 1-15. I do everything a little early, so I'm risking frost. Last year, a late frost hit on May 19th, so I had to build tent cities with Xmas lights around my tomatoes. They were fine, but it was a lot of work. I find it to be worth it to plant them early.
I set out my sweet and hot peppers based on night time temperatures, usually around June 1st. They and sweet potatoes are the only plants that I don't put in the ground earlier than recommended.
For seed starting, I do the following:
Hot Peppers: January 15th (but I will be starting the Habaneros next week)
Sweet Peppers: February 15
Tomatoes: March 1
I have a VERY good light set up and my tomatoes grow thick, bushy and quickly. For all my plants, I pot up several times. For the tomatoes, I dig a deep (~12") hole, so even if they do get big, a fair amount of the stem is underground (they will put out roots from that stem). I've been doing some odd additions at planting time for the tomatoes: (bottom of hole) wool, crab compost, shrimp shells, Root Zone beneficial microbes, crushed calcium carbonate. I then water with Root Shield beneficial microbes (2T per gallon). The microbes/shrimp/crab compost is to prevent Verticillium wilt, but oddly, it also helped with late blight last year. The calcium carbonate is to prevent blossom end rot.
Hope some of this helps. I've attached a link to my seed starting setup (can't find the one I posted on this forum)
Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Bellatrix - seed starting light setup
You have good advice above but one item has not been fully brought out. Hot peppers usually should be started earlier than sweet peppers. Since your planting date is May 15th or thereabouts, you should start tomatoes about March 15th to 25th. Sweet peppers should be started about 2 weeks earlier around March 1st to 10th. Hot peppers - and this especially means just about any of the habaneros or super hot peppers - should be started 2 weeks earlier still so around the 15th of February. Just as an fyi, you can slow plants down by exposing them to temperatures of about 45 degrees for a few hours. This will induce about 3 days of recuperation time for the plants during which the roots grow but the stem pretty much stays the same size.
Wish you the best with your plants and be sure to give them lots of light and love.
I start tomatoes about March 30th for setting out about May 10th......peppers started a few days earlier.
Splindly tall plants are what to avoid. I am retired and take mine outside on the picnic table from nearly day one when weather permits. That way they are stocky and already hardened .
This is great info. Thanks. Bella, I like the photos of your lighting setup. I am not planning to get lights this year, I was going to use my south windows since I got 4 sets of sliders & windows above them, running down one side of the house. It gets like a sauna in the LR and dining room during the winter. It gets so hot we have to open the sliders during winter, while we eat lunch.
I dread my seeds drying out in the room.
I like the idea of not starting all seeds at once. Will I be able to buy the seed starter at Lowe's or HD during January?
I have to order my seeds asap, I heard if you dont get them by January online that they could be sold out. Nobody responded to my request on the seed exchange but that's okay. I think most of the traders are looking for something in return, I could not offer anything.
My other question is 'how do I make a hole in the bottom of my plastic cups?' Is one hole enough? 2-3 seeds in each okay? Maybe I'll find those cells at Lowe's. I am saving paper milk cartons too. I cut off the tops, then I have 'a pot.'
I am also reading through the info on seed growing. Thanks for all your tips.
I noticed a dozen or so tomato plants sprouted on one of the containers. They must be from the compost that I make but I am going to transplant them into small containers in a few weeks. These are not in greenhouse or anything but the container is under big tree so may have survived the freeze we had about a week ago. Its been fairly mild weather here - low in the lower 40s and highs in 55=60.
So if I start my tomatoes 8 weeks before avg last frost what size pot would you say they would be at the time of planting? What size would my peppers be at 10 weeks?
Last year I decided to grow seeds versus buy plants and didnt get an early enough start. Then my hot pepers didnt come on until late. I wont grow all my seeds this year, just the hot, sweet peppers that they dont offer at the local garden center's.

Serves: 6
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 2 cup(s) grated tomato with pulp and seeds (about 2 large heirlooms)
- 1 green bell pepper, finely minced
- 1 bunch(es) scallions, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon(s) red pepper paste (see Tip)
- 1 tablespoon(s) tomato paste
- 2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon(s) Aleppo chilies or sweet paprika
- 1.25 cup(s) fine bulgur
- 1/2 cup(s) extra virgin olive oil
- 6 small Brandywine or yellow heirloom tomatoes
- 1.5 cup(s) labne
- 1 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil, for concassé
- 1 lemon, cut into 6 big wedges to squeeze
- 1 handful(s) baby arugula or cress (optional), very lightly dressed in olive oil
- Place grated tomato, minced green pepper, scallions, pepper paste, tomato paste, cumin, and chilies in a bowl. Whisk together and season well with salt and pepper. Stir in fine bulgur and 1/2 cup olive oil and let sit 15 to 20 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Prepare a medium-size mixing bowl with ice water.
- In a medium-size saucepan, bring water to a boil on high heat. Make an X with a small paring knife in each of the tomatoes. Drop them in boiling water for 20 seconds or until you see skin peel back from tomato. Using a slotted spoon or sieve, remove tomatoes from water and plunge into bowl of ice water. Remove skins.
- Cut each tomato in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Salt each tomato lightly and allow to sit for a few minutes, cut side down, to get rid of some of the water. Select 6 beautiful halves for stuffing and finely mince other 6 halves. Chop minced tomatoes until they start to form a paste. Place over a sieve and let drain 10 minutes to lose some of their water. Place tomato concassé in a small mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Stir in a tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
- In a small bowl, season labne with salt and pepper. Stuff each reserved tomato half with 3 to 4 tablespoons labne.
- To serve, spread kibbeh in a round shape on a plate, top with a couple of tablespoons of tomato concassé, some lightly dressed greens, and stuffed tomato half. Serve with lemon.
Tips & Techniques
You can substitute 1 teaspoon harissa for the 1 tablespoon red pepper paste, if desired.

1. A Portfolio of dramatic writing, of the student's own taped dramatic performances, or videos of programs, which they have written or directed, along with a process log that comments on their dramatic work.
2. A Practicum in Theatre would be a structured and reflective involvement in a production of the student drama group, the CMSV Players. The Practicum in Theatre would require that the students:
(a) sign a contract outlining their projected involvement with an on-campus production
(b) meet with the performing arts advisor at several points during the production schedule
(c) produce a log and paper which chronicles and analyzes their role in the production.
The student's grade will be assigned by the minor advisor. It would be based on the log (accounting for 1/3 of grade), paper (1/3), and the quality of the student's participation in the CMSV Players production (1/3). The participation grade would be arrived at through consultation between the on-site supervisor (in this case, the production's director), and the minor advisor, who will serve as the faculty member of record. It should be noted that signing a contract to participate in a CMSV Player's production does not grant any special status or provide any advantage in auditions. Casting and involvement in the production is at the discretion of the director and the CMSV Players. A student actor who chooses the Practicum option, but who is not cast in the production, must either participate in the production in some other capacity, audition for the next semester's production, or complete one of the other interdisciplinary projects. For this reason, it would be advisable to sign up for the Theatre Practicum by the first semester of the Junior year.
3. An Internship with a theatre, film or performing arts organization or production.
Communication or English students, who are completing an internship in a
performing arts organization to fulfill their Major requirements, may not count the
Major's internship toward fulfillment of the minor. Such a student would have to
choose between the Portfolio or "Practicum in Theatre" options to fulfill the
interdisciplinary requirement of the minor.

Mumbai, March 11 Actor Anil Kapoor, who has produced quite a few films, says that as a producer he stays true to the script given by the writer and never tries to change or meddle with it.
"You have to be true to the script. When I made 'Gandhi My Father', I was true to the script. I didn't think it is commercial or not. Whether it is a commercial film, a mainstream film or a good script, you just have to be convinced," the 53-year-old said here Sunday at the Screenwriters Lab press conference.
"I am one of those producers who when he likes a script, leaves it to the director, who makes the story. I really don't interfere in the film," he added.
Anil turned producer with "Badhaai Ho Badhaai" in 2002 and later produced films like "My Wife's Murder", "Aisha" and "No Problem" besides "Gandhi My Father".
The Screenwriters' Lab 2013 is a workshop where six independent screenwriters will be given a chance to develop their skill under the guidance of film experts from across the globe.
It is conducted by the National Film Development Corporation of India (NFDC).
Anil believes that actors are in need of good scriptwriters to further their career.
"The time has come when the scriptwriters will overshadow the actors because actors also need the scripts. In fact, that's the first thing they want," he said.

California Adder's Tongue Fern [Ophioglossum californicum Prantl]
Listing CNPS List 4 R-E-D Code 1-2-2
State/Federal. Status -- /C3c OPHIOGLOSSACEAE Dec.-May
Global Rank G4G5 State Rank S3?
Distribution: Amador County, Butte County, Merced County, Mariposa County, Monterey County, Stanislaus County, Tuolumne County; disjunct to San Diego County, San Bernardino County, Orange County; and Baja California, Mexico.
Habitat: The periphery of vernal pools, seeps, and vernally moist locales are favored by this primitive fern. On Mira Mesa this plant is found in an unusual, very open Chamise Chaparral (Redding cobbly loam), on flatlands which have mesic conditions for only a brief period in the spring. Olivenhain cobbly loam is mapped for the Proctor Valley road site, at the edge of a vernal pool.
Known Sites: A small colony was seen on a vernally moist slope supporting Highway 67 near Iron Mountain. Several dozen were noted growing on the fringe of a vernal pool alongside Proctor Valley Road at the 600 foot contour. It was common on a vernally moist hilltop north of Escondido Creek in Olivenhain. A sizeable population was reported on hills north and south of Questhaven Road near the intersection with Elfin Forest Road. It is growing in swales north of Poggi Canyon, on Carmel Mountain, and near incipient vernal pools southwest of the intersection of Highway 54 and Interstate 15. The latter site may soon be extirpated by development. It is scattered in chaparral openings on Miramar Air Station east of Interstate 805 and south of Miramar Road; a small colony was found in open stands of Chamise on the southwestern portion of Carmel Mountain. A very large population covering acres was recently reported from Proctor Valley. A recent report comes from the south side of Lower Otay Lake. Herbarium collections at San Diego's Museum of Natural History include specimens collected south of Poway Grade, on Point Loma above Loma Portal, the southeast end of Lee Valley, at Lake Murray, the northeastern slope of El Cajon Mountain, Camp Kearny, Mount Soledad, a hill west of Felicita Park, and near the corner of Balour and Encinitas Drive in Encinitas. Old biological survey reports note sites near Sundance Avenue and Carmel Mountain Road, west of Valley Center Road and south of Banbury Drive, in Carroll Canyon east of El Camino Memorial Park, a west facing slope above Honey Springs Road on Honey Springs Ranch, on Goat Peak north of Beeler Canyon in Poway, on the east slope of Bottle Peak near Lake Wohlford, and on the east side of Genesee Avenue and bounded by Miramar Road and La Jolla Village Drive and Regents Road. Reported by Roberts from Orange County at Temple Hill in Blue Bird Canyon near Laguna Beach.
Seen by C. Reiser in Aesculus parryi dominated chaparral at Jatay in Baja California; no specimens are currently found in the herbarium at the San Diego Natural History Museum for Baja California.
Status: California Adder's Tongue Fern is declining in San Diego County. Populations are typically quite small and growth is triggered by the slightest rainfall. As a result, this cryptic species is often difficult to find at known sites during extended periods without rainfall. Censusing for this fern is best done only following recent substantial rainfall. Given its apparent rarity in Southern California, substantial portions of sizeable populations are recommended for protection.

As Germans voted in parliamentary elections on Sunday that will have wide repercussions across Europe, GlobalPost takes a look at some of the major issues. Senior correspondent Paul Ames made a 900-mile roadtrip across all 16 German states to take the measure of the continent's most influential country.
Although Germany is best known for giants such as BMW, Siemens and BASF, its smaller firms — many of them often family run — are the economy's driving force.
Editor's note: As Germans prepare for parliamentary elections later this month, senior correspondent Paul Ames made a 900-mile roadtrip across all 16 German states to take the measure of Europe's most influential country. This is the third in his five-part series.
WERTHEIM AM MAIN, Germany — Tourists disembarking from luxurious Amsterdam-to-Budapest river cruises may not believe Wertheim is a global industrial powerhouse.
There are no billowing smokestacks, no smog or rumble of heavy machinery.
Instead, the pretty little town on the river Main wows visitors with its romantic hilltop castle and cobbled streets lined with colorful cafes offering kaffee und kuchen, and the crisp local white wine.
Head a couple of miles down river, however, and you discover Germany's greatest concentration of world-beating businesses.
Clustered in a bend of the Main and facing a forested Bavarian hillside on the far bank are row upon row of neat, clean factory buildings, mostly run by the kind of small-to-medium-sized companies that form the linchpin of Germany's economy.
Their success explains why Germany has thrived while most of Europe languishes in recession.
"We are looking for the best possible quality," says Werner Scheuermann, product manager at Koening & Meyer, the leading global manufacturer of music stands.
"We only use the best material and everybody in the music market knows that," Scheurermann says as he strides across the factory floor. "This is the reason for our success, we are the quality leader in the music industry — like Rolls Royce in the car industry."
Although Germany is best known for giants such as BMW, Siemens and BASF, its smaller firms — many of them often family run — are the economy's driving force.
Collectively known as the mittelstand, they make up 98 percent of Germany's exporting companies and employ two-thirds of the workforce.
"These innovative and internationally competitive firms that we call the mittelstand are extremely important," says Ferdinand Fichtner, head of forecasting and economic policy at the German Institute for Economic Research in Berlin. "It's not only for export industries but for the German economy in general. It is the backbone of the economy."
Wertheim, a city of just 24,000 people, boasts 11 companies designated as global leaders in their sectors.
What they produce isn't sexy on the whole. Wertheim-based companies are world-beaters in laboratory glassware, screen printers and industrial communication systems. Dominance of global niches by those so-called "hidden champions" is vital to Germany's economic ascendency.
Behind the factory doors, the reasons for their success are clear: a winning combination of high technology and old-fashioned craftsmanship.
In the alfi vacuum container factory, state-of-the-art robotics are used to mold metal discs into the distinctive shape of pots that used to keep coffee hot on hotel breakfast tables around the world. Nearby, skilled polishers burnish their chromium, silver or golden shine by hand.
One of German industry's strengths is an apprenticeship system that combines on-the-job training with classroom education. It gives youngsters hands-on experience and skills. Apprentices spend time working in all departments of their companies, developing an overview of their needs and building team spirit.
"Young people come here directly from school," says Alexander Schmitt, sales director at alfi, which employs 180 people making a range of vacuum flasks and carafes.
"They stay with the company for three years, and they go to school one to two days a week. They learn how to prepare products, they learn how to deal with administration. They really see the big picture. This is something really important in Germany."
Down the road at K&M, school kids as young as 15 spend up to three weeks on production lines during their summer vacations to get a taste of work.
"Almost everyone here started out on the apprenticeship program, including the directors" says President Martin Koenig, whose father founded the company in 1949. "That's one of the reasons for our success. We don't have a lot of turnover of staff. People are trained here and keep their skills and experience in the company, they stay for 30 or 40 years."
Mittelstand companies take pride in their non-confrontational labor relations. Workers are consulted on major decisions and ideas exchanged between factory floors and boardrooms. "We have successes together and we have losses together, Schmitt says. "That's something that we try to grow ourselves, being a family."

This work belongs to a series depicting Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, and Gregory, key figures of early Catholicism. Saint Ambrose (about AD 340-391), the bishop of Milan, resolved important theological conflicts within the Church and worked effectively with advocates of Roman paganism. The low viewpoint and large scale suggest that this painting hung high on the wall of a religious institution, but its original location remains unknown. In the late 1700s, Spain expelled all the Jesuits and sparked a transformation of the Church. Many of these reformers turned back to early Church history for inspiration, and Saint Ambrose was probably commissioned by one of these new organizations.

How to list extended fields of ContactList
When using PIM API and its ContactList class, it is important to find out first, what fields are supported by the implementation. This can be done by using the instructions shown here: How to list the supported fields in a PIMList.
It is also possible, that implementations have so called extended fields. They are additional fields, which are not listed as standard fields of Contact class. Some of the latest S60 implementations (S60 3rd Ed FP1 and newer) support a wide selection of these fields. Below is a method for creating a contact, which has a name "Test Contact" and all the extended attributes, which are available. This method has been tested in S60 3rd Edition FP1 devices like N95.
public void testExtendedFields() {
ContactList list = null;
Contact contact = null;
try {
list = (ContactList)PIM.getInstance().openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_WRITE);
contact = list.createContact();
String[] name = new String[list.stringArraySize(Contact.NAME)];
if (list.isSupportedArrayElement(Contact.NAME, Contact.NAME_FAMILY)) name[Contact.NAME_FAMILY] = "Contact";
if (list.isSupportedArrayElement(Contact.NAME, Contact.NAME_GIVEN)) name[Contact.NAME_GIVEN] = "Test";
contact.addStringArray(Contact.NAME, PIMItem.ATTR_NONE, name);
int fields[] = list.getSupportedFields();
for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
if (fields[i] > 256) { // extended field
if (fields[i] == 16797704) { // Anniversary field
contact.addDate(fields[i], Contact.ATTR_NONE, new java.util.Date().getTime());
else contact.addString(fields[i], Contact.ATTR_NONE, "field: " + fields[i]);
} catch (PIMException pe) {
System.out.println("PIMException: " + pe.getMessage());
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
System.out.println("IllegalArgumentException: " + iae.getMessage());
Note: The existence of extended fields is tested by checking, if the integer value of a field is more then 256.
Note: The field having value of 16797704 (Anniversary field) accepts only a Date object as its content, others accept Strings.

The Kamloops Blazers traded away part of their future for some veteran leadership on Thursday.
The Blazers acquired defenceman Joel Edmundson, 19, from the Moose Jaw Warriors, along with a fourth-round pick in the 2015 WHL bantam draft. Kamloops gave up defenceman Tyler Bell, 18, forward Jayden Halbgewachs, 15, and a first-round pick in 2015.
Edmundson was to fly into Kamloops last night and is expected to play tonight, 7 o'clock, against the Prince George Cougars at Interior Savings Centre.
"He's a veteran guy, a drafted player," said Blazers head coach Guy Charron. "We've added more experience at the back end."
At 6-foot-4 and 208 pounds, Edmundson will bring size to a Blazers' defence corps that already includes 19-year-olds Tyler Hansen, who goes 6-foot-3 and 202 pounds, and the 6-foot-4, 200-pound Sam Grist.
Edmundson is in his third WHL season, and has picked up eight points, six of them assists, and 70 penalty minutes in 29 games. Last season, he played in 56 games, scoring four goals, assisting on 19 others and earning 91 penalty minutes.
After his first season, 2010-11, the St. Louis Blues selected the Brandon native in the second round, 46th overall, of the NHL draft.
And while he isn't known for his offensive side, Edmundson stands to see some time on the power play, according to Charron.
"He's got a great shot," Charron said. "Right now, we've experimented with everyone at the top end of the power play, so I'm sure he'll get an opportunity."
The trade shows that the Blazers are all-in this season. Kamloops is 22-7-3 and tied for first in the 22-team WHL with the Portland Winterhawks, who hold four games in hand.
But Kamloops gave up a lot to get Edmundson, who, if he signs with the Blues, likely wouldn't return next season.
Bell, a Regina native, was in his second season with the Blazers, and was taking on a bigger role all the time. Through 29 games, he had a goal and three assists, to go along with 36 penalty minutes. As a rookie in 2011-12, Bell had 12 points, 11 of them assists, and was plus-19 in 54 games.
On top of Bell, Kamloops basically gave up two first-round picks, with Halbgewachs, a native of Emerald Park, Sask., having been its first-round pick, 19th overall, in May's draft. Halbgewachs is in his first season with the midget AAA Regina Pat Canadians, and has eight goals and six assists in 19 games.
"Through our evaluation, we feel we have good, young prospects," Charron said. "But getting a chance to get a veteran player like (Edmundson) will only make us better."
The WHL's Christmas trade moratorium will run Dec. 16-26.
p p p
Forwards Charles Inglis and Chase Souto sat out Thursday's practice as they recover from a bug that is going through the Kamloops dressing room.
"We've got quite a few guys who are sick," Charron said. "No use being here to spread the germs."
The coach said he wasn't sure if either would be available tonight, but seemed optimistic.
"Usually the guys who have been sick have had a 24- or 48-hour thing," Charron said. "We're hopeful they're ready to go (tonight)."
To help fill out the roster, the Blazers had Devin Oakes, a list forward who plays for the junior B Kamloops Storm, at practice. He will be back with the Storm for its game against the host Princeton Posse tonight.
p p p
Cougars head coach Dean Clark announced that former NHLer Todd Harkins will serve as an assistant coach for a few weeks after Christmas.
Harkins, who coached the Vancouver Northwest Giants to the 2011 B.C. Major Midget League title, will replace Jason Becker temporarily. Becker, the head coach of Team Pacific, will be in Quebec for the 2013 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, which ends Jan. 4.
Harkins, whose 10-year NHL career included stops with the Calgary Flames and Hartford Whalers, will start his tenure with the Cougars on Dec. 28, when they play the Royals in Victoria.
Harkins' son, Jansen, was selected in the first round, second overall, by the Cougars in May's bantam draft. He currently plays for Vancouver Northwest, with which he has 30 points in 17 games.
p p p
Ryan Hanes, a former Blazers forward, will be making his second appearance in Kamloops with the Cougars, and will be sporting an 'A' on his jersey.
Hanes, a 20-year-old Kamloops native, was named an assistant captain Wednesday, after Cougars captain Brock Hirsche retired due to shoulder programs. Hirsche was replaced as captain by defenceman Daniel Gibb, with Hanes taking on the vacant assistant-captain role.
Hanes, who scored in the Cougars' 5-4 shootout loss in Kamloops on Nov. 17, has four goals in eight games with Prince George.
He started the season with the Blazers, but got caught up in the 20-year-old numbers game and was released. He spent a stretch with the BCHL's Cowichan Valley Capitals, before the Cougars picked him up last month.

Determining a fair price for standing alfalfa hay can be a complex process. Year-to-year changes in hay prices and yields, and different values for various cuttings, all play roles. The key to coming up with a successful buyer-seller price agreement is recognizing that both parties come to the transaction with different expectations, says Mike Rankin, University of Wisconsin extension crops and soils
Determining a fair price for standing alfalfa hay can be a complex process. Year-to-year changes in hay prices and yields, and different values for various cuttings, all play roles.
The key to coming up with a successful buyer-seller price agreement is recognizing that both parties come to the transaction with different expectations, says Mike Rankin, University of Wisconsin extension crops and soils specialist in Fond du Lac County, WI.
"The landowner is looking to gain value from not having to harvest the crop," he says. "The buyer is looking to gain value by paying less for standing hay than for a harvested crop. The goal in price negotiations is to find a middle ground."
Rankin suggests using local bare-land rental rates as a starting point.
"Most producers have a pretty good idea of what crop ground is renting for in their areas," he says. "The important thing to keep in mind is that there is a difference between renting bare land and renting an alfalfa field. In the latter case, buyers are actually buying a product they have to harvest."
On the buyer's part, costs associated with harvesting the crop — labor, fuel, machinery maintenance and depreciation — are major considerations in setting a price.
"A lot will depend on the individual operation and the kind of equipment a person has. As a rule of thumb, you can probably figure on a charge of somewhere around $35-40/ton. If you plan to haul the harvested product a long distance from the field, you'll want to adjust that number upward."
Using those numbers will start to give you a better idea of what you can afford to pay for the standing crop. For example, at $160/acre, you're paying $40/ton of dry matter (before harvest and storage losses) for a total season yield of 4 tons/acre. Combining that with $40 in harvest cost would give you an $80/ton investment.
Calculating potential yields can be a tricky part of price negotiations.
"In an ideal world, a producer would have some reasonable method of weighing production coming off the field," says Rankin. "But in the vast majority of situations, your best bet is to come up with a one-year average yield estimate, taking into account the age of the stand and presence of grass or weeds."
On the flip side, the landowner may expect to be compensated for certain establishment costs.
"One way to figure it would be to prorate those costs over a three- to four-year period to come up with an average annual cost," he says.
Nutrient removal costs and who pays them are other factors to consider. Rankin advises starting with a calculation for potash costs and removal rates. If you estimate a total potassium removal of 200 lbs/acre over a season (based on a 4-ton/acre yield) and potassium costs of 70¢/lb, the total value of potassium removed is more than $140/acre.
"That's going to add significantly to the value of the purchased hay. And that's just for potash. In some cases, you'll want to figure phosphorus costs in, as well."
A key question, asks Rankin, is who pays for the nutrient removal?
"People work out agreements a lot of different ways," he says. Those range from no one paying to some sort of split arrangement.
"I don't think it's unreasonable for the landowner to expect some return on establishment costs. Otherwise, why wouldn't he just rent the land out as bare ground? On the other hand, if nutrient removal charges push up costs too far, buyers might determine they're better off buying harvested hay."
Dwight Aakre, North Dakota State University extension farm management specialist, isn't sure establishment costs need to be considered in price negotiations.
"From an economics standpoint, you can make the case that the costs of seed and fertilizer are basically sunk costs," he says. "In other words, the landowner will have those costs whether or not someone rents the land for hay production."
Aakre adds that local hay prices should also be factored in when negotiating price.
"The price of hay is very dependent on location," he says. "If there is a high demand locally, the price may be considerably higher. Due to hay's bulky nature, its value falls rapidly with increased distance to market."
Rankin also recommends having a written agreement in place before harvest starts. Among other things, the agreement should specify price, method of determining yield (if selling is by the ton) and who is responsible for what cost.
"The written agreement clarifies the provisions of the sale for everyone involved and helps head off misunderstandings that could develop if there are differing recollections on what was agreed to somewhere down the road," he says.

Family fishing
Family fishing
As we approach opening day of trout season, I start talking people about fishing and taking their kids fishing. Recently a few people have told me they wanted to take their kids fishing for the first time, but didn't know how to fish themselves and didn't know where to take their kids.
Well, you are in luck! I have a few tips to help you out in the pursuit of angling adventures:
1.Make it fun! Family fishing is about the kids and the adventure of being outdoors. My son completely and totally enjoys the "ceremony" leading up to the fishing as much, if not more, than the fishing itself!
The night before we put out our fishing gear, rods, clothing and tackle box. (he's not quite ready for fly fishing yet) We gather up snacks, then organize everything. Don't forget the first aid kit, sunblock, sanitizer and plenty of water.
The fishing morning ritual: we pack up all of our gear in the car, then head out to Wawa (our AMAZING local convenience store chain) to pick up coffee for Dad, hot chocolate for him, and some hot yummy breakfast sandwiches. Don't forget bait! Generally Night Crawlers, or minnows work best, and the kids love to play with them.
2.If you know someone who fishes, invite them along to help you out.
Hopefully they have children too, and it can be a combined play date. They can help you learn about fishing, and your kids will have fun too. Last year I took a friend of mine and his son out, and I did all the hook rigging, bobbers, weights, and fish removal. It was a blast!
3.Do a little research on family fishing. Here is a family fishing site:
4.Find a nice local fishing spot that will be easy on everyone. Whenever I
am taking the kids fishing ideally I want a spot with parking, easy access to the fishing, and preferably a bathroom nearby. One of my favorite local spots is called Cisco pond. It is in Springfield Township, Montgomery County, PA. The pond was designed for kids, and is stocked every year before opening day of trout season.
Happy Fishing with the kids!

IGNORE A global perspective to the local real estate market
Middle Eastern investors expected to become big players in large-scale developments in the UK, France, Germany and the US
- Image Credit: Supplied picture
- Given the kind of growth rates it was aiming for, and the role of property development in sustaining that growth, Dubai is just an extreme case of a general phenomenon, says Tony Key.
Professor Tony Key, a veteran in real estate studies, has been flying into Dubai since May this year for the Global Real Estate Market Elective at the DIFC-based Cass Business School, part of City University London. Looking at the state of affairs in the local market from the viewpoint of an international analyst, he does not isolate Dubai from the wider real estate scene. The local market, he says, is part of a bout of global property exuberance, characterised by the same ramping up of values, huge rise in leverage and questionable loan underwriting by banks that was seen in many countries.
"Dubai, given the kind of growth rates it was aiming for, and the leading role of property development in sustaining that growth, is just an extreme case of a general phenomenon," Tony says. "More worryingly, perhaps we should consider the possibility that history suggests that periodic crises are close to an inevitable part of that growth process, that the common notion that we have 'learnt from the last crisis' turns out to be wrong."
Real estate financing should be considered as the signature crisis of the last 50 years, with a strong possibility of a recurrence in the not too distant future, he warns, pointing to how China is trying to choke off a property boom triggered by high growth and loose credit control.
Lessons to be learnt
Tony says two main lessons - one positive, the other negative - can be learnt from the past decade. "On the one hand, recent years have proved that it is possible to create a global market in property investment in less than a decade. We now have structures and skills, which for good or ill, can move investment capital across the globe in a variety of investment structures open to institutional and, increasingly, individual private investors.
"The negative lesson is that property investment is, given its risk profile, an asset that we should expect to deliver moderate returns, somewhere between equities and bonds. Chasing much higher target returns from property through development, emerging markets and high levels of leverage will, ultimately, result in disappointment and loss."
Role of equity finance
In the case of Dubai, one of the most cited hurdles to market recovery is cash flow constraints. Generally, to pay down the bloated debt built up during the boom, there needs to be a lot of equity finance coming into the region, which puts investors with cash liquidity in the driving seat for financing new developments. "There are still a lot of cash-rich investors in the region who may have been burnt in the crash. For that reason, I believe we will see Middle Eastern investors becoming big players in large-scale developments in countries like the UK and the US, which they perceive as 'safer' markets," says Tony.
So, which are the most attractive investment destinations for Gulf-based real estate investors? Tony has seen post-crisis investment by mainstream institutions in the first phase of the recovery fly towards safety and the best-quality buildings in core markets like the UK, France, Germany and the US.
He has seen prices for such trophy stock, in those markets, rise quickly, helped along by a large flow of money from the sovereign wealth funds of oil-rich and Asian countries. "I know that there are a lot of Western investors who are very keen to buy into the growth stories of Asian and Latin American markets, though they find it very hard to find the stock that would meet the investment criteria they like to set in mature markets," he says.
However, the current mantra among investors is that they have "learnt their lesson" post-crisis so to speak, and therefore are avoiding high-risk markets and aggressive financing. "Sadly, it may also be true that this 'lesson' will be forgotten, perhaps a lot sooner than anyone expects," says Tony.

Ur Entiled to your own opinion . but i don think leaving a rude comment or calling the girl out let alone over the internet is the way to speak your opinion . Milyn is already facing hatred from all the selena fans and justin fans . i came across this & many other rude comments & i felt the need to comment . have a nice day !~
Posted at 10:42 PM on October 3, 2013
unfortunately milyn brought on the negativity herself when she decided to step into the public eye and tell the world that she is proud of sleeping with someone else's boyfriend for fame. It doesn't make a very nice picture of her. Then to make matters worsen her stint on BGC only made her look worse not better. The only person she should be mad at and the only person you should be mad at is her. She is showing the world she doesn't have respect for herself or anyone else. If I could tell that to her face I would but it probably go in ear and out the other. And calling people rude, scared, jealous only because they are talking on here and not to her face is because they don't got her number.

You're not black. Stop lying! If you were, monkey would be the last comparison that came to mind! She's not ugly at all! If you had said a beaver, that would be more accurate! But monkey? Yeah you're a fat racist pig who's jealous cause your crush who has no idea nor cares that u exist is diggin in a black chick! Get over it whale!

Time to submit your 1-d-1 for 2011
Dear ICR Landowners,
I hope you have all had a safe and successful hunting season. If you haven't already, please submit your harvest information to Randy Wood. This information is extremely useful in our overall Management Plan for the ranch. You can also send the information to me and I will make sure Randy gets it.
As an Edwards County landowner, you should have received by now a letter from the Edwards County Appraisal District (ECAD)on the requirement to submit your Annual 1-D-1 Wildlife Report form to them by January 31, 2012. In addition to the report, they are requesting "supporting documentation of the management practices you have used over the last year." Failure to submit the report could cause denial of the special valuation.
The guidelines they will use to assess the annual reports are available on the following website (provided by ECAD):Http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/landwater/land/private/agricultural_land/ (click on the Edwards County and Cross Timbers &Prairies region)
Appendix A contains the Guidelines they will use, and Appendix U contains the Wildlife Management Plan and 1-D-1 Annual Report forms.
As in years past, documentation is the key to success when you are submitting your annual report.
Best Regards,
Mike Hoffman

text: The California Assembly Appropriations Committee was all set to vote on SB 1221, which would outlaw the tradition of hunting bears and bobcats with hounds. But the huge crowd that showed up for the hearing, plus the immense financial impact that the bill would have on California, put the vote on hold for further consideration. It's estimated that about 300 people—most of them concerned hunters—packed the room, and dozens chose to testify. When the bill comes up for a vote late next week, let's hope the committee members recall the strong opposition to SB1221 displayed by hunters. "I would say that for high visibility issues, this is probably the biggest crowd I've seen," Appropriations Committee Chairman Felipe Fuentes told the Record Searchlight after the hearing. If the Committee approves the bill, it will proceed to the full Assembly for debate. This is the second time anti-hunters, led by the HSUS, have attempted to get the bill up for an Assembly vote. The first attempt failed. However, the California Senate already passed the bill; an Assembly vote could make it law. Many hunters brought their children and even their grandchildren to stand up to the "animal rights" activists attacking their family tradition. As has been the case throughout this bill's debate, HSUS waged a war of disinformation, making up such lies as: -HSUS isn't interested in eliminating all hunting, just so-called unethical hunting. I don't know how they can keep a straight trying to make this point, not just considering their actions, but because HSUS president Wayne Pacelle once said, "If we could shut down all sport hunting in a moment, we would." Banning hunting with hounds is just the camel's nose under the tent. -"Hounding isn't a wildlife management tool," said an HSUS rep. This ignores the fact that bear hunting is proven to reduce bear-human conflicts, and that hound hunting is many state game departments' preferred method of bear control. -HSUS also reiterated phony information from previous debates. Will the committee respond to hunters' strong show of support, or will it allow HSUS to pull the wool over its eyes? As always, we'll keep you posted.

Two men allegedly had another one down and were kicking and hitting him Saturday on the South Platte River Bridge.
At around 2 p.m. police responded to a report of a man being assaulted by multiple suspects, police spokesman Rodney Brown said.
Upon their arrival a 33-year-old man said that Charles Tully III, 39, and Jordan Fuller, 25, jumped him, got him down and continued to punch and kick him.
Tully and Fuller told police they were mad at the victim because he made an obscene action towards a woman with whom they were traveling.
All of the people involved are transients, Brown said.
Officers determined there was probable cause to arrest Tully and Fuller for third degree assault, a Class I misdemeanor, and took them to jail.
