Actually, we should say that Texas archery hunters get first crack at deer, sort of.

Although the early archery season begins its month-long run Saturday throughout the state, archers won?t be the only folks out there hunting. Ranches with Managed Lands Deer Permits will also be able to start hunting Saturday.

Something in here just seems not quite right. Either MLDP properties ought to have to pay something for their permits or bowhunters shouldn?t have to pay anything.

Archers long have contended they ?paid? for that special early season with the $7 archery stamp required to hunt during October. but the exclusivity went out the window with MLDPs, which allow hunters to take deer on designated properties with nothing except their license and a free permit issued to the landowner.

There ought to be a change but unless bowhunters begin screaming ? loudly ? there probably won?t be.

RED TIDE ADVANCES ON COAST

With caustic fumes and dead fish, red tide events are traumatic occurrences along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Texas Parks and Wildlife officials currently are monitoring two outbreaks, one on the lower coast and one on the upper coast, that have killed a number of fish so far. Humans close to the red tide areas can experience intense burning in the eyes and respiratory system.

The red tide is actually a microscopic organism that grows during warm weather in coastal waters.

MEET COWBOY CASEY TIBBS, RODEO'S LEGENDARY ...

THE HUMAN RACE

CASEY TIBBS: A ONE-OF-A-KIND RODEO STAR

???? During the late ?40s, when Roy Rogers was kissing his horse Trigger, Gene Autry was strumming his guitar, and John Wayne was romanticizing the image of the American cowboy, there emerged from the Badlands of South Dakota a young horseman named Casey Tibbs.

???? Not only was he destined to become the most famous saddle bronc rider in rodeo history, but he was singularly responsible for bringing rodeo out of the farming communities and into the eyes and imaginations of the American public.

???? The Smithsonian magazine once said that in his heyday, Casey ?lent the sport a kind of glamour it had never before achieved? Tibbs was the D?Artagnan, the Rhett Butler, the Bonnie Prince Charlie of the rodeo circuit.??

???? Until the day he died at 60 in 1990 suffering from bone cancer, he was a wild, brawling, reckless, woman-chasing gambler with a short fuse.? Around women, including my wife, he was a sly gentleman.? Around kids he was a kid.

???? He was Babe Ruth, prizefighter Jake (the Raging Bull) LaMotta and Wyatt Earp rolled into one pure undistilled cowboy.? He should have been born a century earlier.? Spending a few weeks inter- viewing him was like stepping into a dime novel where stark reality and bullshit were soul mates.? I enjoyed every minute of it.

???? The youngest in a family of 10 children, Casey Duane Tibbs was born and raised in a log cabin along the south banks of the Cheyenne River, 50 miles from Fort Pierre, South Dakota.????

???? Before he reached his teens, he was driving herds of mustangs in the dead of winter across miles of snow-covered wilderness to a ranch owned by his mentor, rodeo cowboy Gerald Roberts.? At 14 he won his first prize money ($85.50) as a saddle bronc rider in McLaughlin, S.D.??

???? From 1949-59, Casey had won nine world championships ? six for bronc riding and another for bareback riding.? Twice he won professional rodeo?s ?World Champion All-Around Cowboy.??

???? He was barely drinking age when LIFE magazine with its 5,200,000 circulation featured him on the cover in 1951.? With money to burn and wild oats to sow, Casey bought himself a Cadillac and had it painted lavender, his favorite color.?

???? The $4,000 convertible had all the trimmings:? A continental kit, bucking-horse crests for door handles, black and silver mud flaps, twin pipes, plush leather upholstery and white walls.?

???? Decked out in a black cowboy hat, lavender shirts, silver-tipped boots and championship buckles, he burned up the highways racing from one rodeo town to another.

???? Although studios like Universal International and RKO wanted to turn him into another Tom Mix and clothiers tried to capitalize on his gaudy fashions, Casey would have none of it.? All he seemed to care about was getting ?a good draw and having a good time.?

???? And that he had.?

???? Shoulder-to-shoulder, he fought, gambled, was a self-confessed Casanova (?There wasn?t a woman I couldn?t fall in love with.?) and contested with the toughest of cowboys.?

???? In just one week of craps and poker in Elko, Nevada the young buckaroo managed to lose $38,000, including oil well shares.

???? Early in his career, Casey struck up a friendship with the late Ben Johnson, world team roping champ and Academy Award-winning actor.? Johnson first saw Tibbs at Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days.

???? ?Here comes the scrawniest teenage kid you?d ever want to see with this letter from his mother saying it was OK for him to compete,? Johnson once told me.? ?Damned if he didn?t win the Novice Bronc Riding event.? In those days they called it ?novice,? but some of the rankest horses were used on that level.? And some of the guys who entered ?novice? were older than a tree.?

???? While seated at the bar in the Schooner, a Manhattan Beach watering hole, he lifted his right leg and swung it like a pendulum demonstrating a knee that appeared to have no tendons supporting it.? He estimated that during his rodeo career he had busted about 42 bones in competition and ?cracked a couple more in brawls.?

???? After a fight in a Monte Vista, Colorado saloon where he decked a cowboy, he was jumped by the loser?s relatives who broke his jaw.? He still managed to compete ? and win ? the next day.

???? ?There were toughs in every rodeo town,? he said.? ?Fights just happen.? A girl, a drunk.? Somebody?d bump you at the bar. My brother Doc showed me how to fight.? I never was great at it.

???? ?If you get into an argument with some buck, you just go right into him.? That way, you either bluff him, beat him, or get whipped.

???? ?It ain?t like that no more.? Kids (rodeo cowboys) today, they lead a cleaner life.? They contest for big purses.? Even now, there?s still a good share of rodeo cowboys doing the circuit.? It?s never been an easy life.

???? ?In my time, there used to be a whole slew of Deadwood (S.D.) cities with enough action to make starving worthwhile.? Now, after a rodeo, they spend an hour combing and blow-drying their hair to look pretty for the ladies.??

???? He looked at himself and the ?financial pinch? he found himself in and laughed.? ?I made a lot of mistakes.? Drank my share of whiskey.? Gambled.? Knew a lot of women.? But all in all, I have no regrets.

???? ?I?d ride into an arena and blow a thousand dollars on one roll of the dice.?? After an extended ?losing streak,? Casey checked into a Gamblers Anonymous in Beverly Hills, coaxed some of the members into a poker game, won $250 and left.

???? Spending the Christmas holidays in Beverly Hills, Casey bought a Christmas tree and set it up undecorated in his hotel room which was across the street from the Luau, a popular restaurant.? Playing the lonesome cowboy, he?d sit at the bar, strike up a conversation with a gal, telling her it was his first Christmas away from home.? ??? Would she help decorate his tree?? How could she refuse the love trap?? He?d whisk her away and ?loosen her up with champagne? as they decorated the tree.? After she?d leave, Casey said he?d undecorate the tree and return to the Luau in search of other prey.

???? Perhaps the most harrowing incident resulting from one of Casey?s practical jokes occurred on a Sunday when he barged into a hotel room armed with a revolver loaded with blanks and fired away at a bull rider pal who was in bed with a woman.

???? ?Bam, bam, bam!? he remembered.? ?I scared the hell out of them, then just ran out the door.?

???? A few minutes later the bull rider caught up with Casey who was on a pay phone and stabbed him in the stomach with a knife.?

???? ?Then he loads me in his pickup and we drove around trying to find a hospital.? Finally, we found a veterinarian who sewed me up??

???? ?Now that?s what friendship is all about.?

???? Last time I had a drink with him was at The Saratoga, a dark Sunset Boulevard saloon in Los Angeles that blended perfectly with some of the shadowy characters that filled its booths and packed the counter.?

???? We were seated at the bar when he sighted an attorney across the counter he claimed ?was dragging his heels? over a $10,000 debt for managing a failed rodeo team.? A few weeks earlier Casey, who didn?t trust lawyers, had threatened to break the man?s leg if he didn?t pay up.?

???? He raised his highball glass as if toasting the man, then took a bite out of it.

???? Crrrack!!!

???? The bar went silent from the sharp splintering sound followed by teeth grinding the fragments into power.?

???? ?You know,? Casey said, ?I?ve never had a cavity.?

???? Those seated at the bar, including Hal Needham who had directed ?Smokey and the Bandit,? a 1977 hit comedy starring Burt Reynolds, had no idea of the threatening message the impromptu act telegraphed.? But I?m sure the counselor did.

???? For a time, he was living in a tack room attached to a stable in north San Diego County. ?He admitted that it wasn?t easy being ?down and out when people think you?re filthy rich.?

???? He didn?t appreciate being called a Hollywood cowboy.? But he knew his share of movie stars.? As actor Don Murray?s stunt double in the 1956 movie, ?Bus Stop,? he was romantically linked to Marilyn Monroe.

???? ?The cowboys working the rodeo scenes seen me with her at cocktail parties,? he recalled.? ?They were all betting on me.

???? ?So I made up this yarn about her inviting me up to her place, meeting me at the door in a negligee and carrying her into the? bedroom.? When they were howling like a bunch of hungry wolves, I told them, ?Just as I put her on the bed, I woke up!?

???? In 1967, when actress Katharine Ross was filming ?The Graduate,? she and Casey began dating.?

???? ?She liked to ride, and some friends brought her out to where I kept my horses.? We had some good times.? She liked the outdoors, but I knew real quick it would never work:? A cowboy married to an actress??

???? ?There?s a lot of Casey Tibbs in every cowboy that ever went down the road,? Bill Pedigo, a former saddle bronc rider and steer wrestler from Axtel, Texas once told me.? ?Today?s cowboy feels the same and thinks the same, but just doesn?t show it like Casey did.?

???? When Pedigo was a youngster growing up on a ranch in Axtel, his father and uncle, both rodeo men, told many stories about Casey?s legendary adventures.? It wasn?t until Pedigo was 21 and competing in the Rodeo Cowboys Association that he got to know Casey, who had retired from rodeo but was still making personal appearances.

???? Casey gave him this piece of advice:? ?Don?t quit a good bronc until you taste your own blood.?

???? Pedigo accepted those words as gospel.? He has broken bones to prove it.? While competing at Lake Charles, La., he stayed with a bronc that backed into a fence and fell on him breaking the cowboy?s ankle.

???? ?While I was waiting for them to get the horse off me, I was thinking, ?Casey Tibbs, you son-of-a-buck,? he said.

???? ?Casey showed me how to ride hurt.? He helped me with my form.? He wasn?t a great athlete.? It was all mind-set with him.?

???? ?He rode a bronc like he was out dancing with a pretty woman.? He had a certain style and flair ? like it was the easiest thing in the world to do.?

???? When in 1979 Robert Redford starred as a near-derelict rodeo star in ?The Electric Horseman,? people thought that director Sidney Pollack was basing the character on Casey.

???? No doubt, Casey remains the most famous saddle bronc rider in rodeo history.? The measure of his fame is a bigger-than-life bronze statue of him riding Necktie.? It stands outside of the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and cowboy museum in Colorado Springs, Colo.

???? ?I don?t know for sure,? said Casey, ?but I?m thinking that maybe you get just one go-around in life.? If that?s so, I have no regrets because it?s been one hell of a ride.?

Common Mistakes Associated with Real Estate Agents

The most popular mistake of numerous agents in real estate investing is that they simply do what every other agent does. As an agent, you should be in a position to set your self apart from the rest. The business associated with real estate investing is associated with a very competitive marketplace so if you are more innovative in your advertising strategies along with other services, chances are you will be the option to do business with.

By looking into making a simple distinction, you will see an excellent difference within the results that you will get.

Marketing Techniques

Newspaper ads, billboard marketing and booklets are a great way to promote deals as well as properties. Whilst they cost quite a considerable amount of cash, getting at minimum one offer for the period of the ad will make you more money than what you really paid for that advertisement.

Many agents don?t consider these choices because of the quantity that they will be spending for using these marketing techniques, but what they do not really know is that they are effective advertising strategies for most businesses and the real estate investing clients are no different.

Real estate investing like a business is the risk. However, if you dedicate a really great amount of dedication in it in conjunction with hard work, it would not be a struggle to close offers and generate high earnings in this kind of business. The bottom line is it still depends on how you work things away that makes this particular venture effective.

'Google Drive' May Be Coming to Android Phones Near You (ContributorNetwork)

Google already offers ways to keep your documents and music synced up online, via Google Docs and Google Music (Beta). These "cloud" services let you read, write or listen to the same stuff whether you're at home or using your Android smartphone or tablet.

If you want to have access to your other files, though, you have to use a third-party service like Dropbox or MG Siegler of TechCrunch, Google's been working on a "Google Drive" app for years ... and it may be almost ready to hit the market.

It's not just Google, either

Companies like HTC are starting to realize that people want access to all of their stuff, everywhere. That's why the Taiwanese smartphone maker recently partnered with Dropbox, giving everyone who buys a phone with the newest version of HTC Sense an extra 3 GBs of storage on Dropbox for free. (That's 5 GBs total, in case you're not counting.)

Microsoft has had its own Windows Live Skydrive for awhile now, but it's kind of lacking in mobile phone apps. Although someone in New Zealand did point out that an app might be on its way ... to Windows Phone 7, natch.

Meanwhile, Amazon and Apple are both working on their own cloud solutions. Amazon's Cloud Drive and Cloud Player (like Google Music) will probably both be featured on its upcoming Android tablet, although only the Cloud Player is affixed an "i" to the cloud, but its iCloud's still under construction.

So who will want Google Drive?

The likeliest candidates? People who already use a ton of Google devices and services. Chromebook owners especially, all eight of them (I kid). No more storing files on SD cards! Now you'll be able to get to your PDFs and MP3s anywhere.

For that matter, Siegler notes that code has been found in Chromium (the open-source project that underlays Google's Chrome web browser) which suggests that it might integrate with Google Drive; the same way you sync your bookmarks across computers, you might be able to sync all your files too, or at least a folder.

The biggest downside?

Google already knows everything else about you, including what sites you have bookmarked if you use Chrome/ium. Now it's going to know what's on your hard drive, too. Microsoft may have built Skydrive, but Google appears to be building Skynet.

Getting to Know More about Relationship Success Through The ...

Is sun sign astrological compatibility good enough?

Today everyone that knows about their Sun signs as well as its fits, everyone knows how can a Scorpio be appropriate to a Cancer, whereas how an Aries is compatible with a Gemini etc. People make judgments about relationships based on the sun sign. What most people normally forget is that the sign exhibits merely the fundamental personality of an particular person, which can be extremely generalized.? Not all aspects of the person?s personality can?t be identified using only this sign of the person. The moon sign shows the sensations of the particular person; while the mercury specifies the interaction and the Venus outline certain aspects of relationships. Pluto describes the sexuality of any individual, such as a person with Scorpio in Pluto has ardent sexuality and so on.

Samples:

As an example, we know that individuals with Gemini sign can be chirpy and talkative, but I bet you can find Gemini?s who are very quiet and reserved. Have you any idea why this occurs? Is astrology wrong? Definitely not, the reason could be that the person has other planets in water or earth signs. For instance, the mercury planet might be in a water sign such as cancer, scorpio or pisces. Mercury planet defines the element of communication for the person. Which means your generalized view of sun sign fails during these factors.

In general circumstances we would say a Scorpio and Gemini couple doesn?t work. However if the Gemini person has heavy water and earth signs in various other planets or the Scorpio has many different planets of birth chart in air and fire signs, then this combination can work great! If they?ve great good conjunctions of the main sign, Venus and mercury, we can even say that an unconditional love can exist between the two.? Hence if you only focused on the sun sign, you might have missed just about the most soul mate romantic relationship you might have ever had on this lifetime.

Resolution:

Thus anyone must not judge a certain relationship founded merely on this sun sign. A full birth chart evaluation being attentive to each and every planet and house with their conjunction, trajectory and identical other factors is needed. Moreover less significant elements just like the Jojo and Lilith and many such things are also deeply taken into consideration.? An analysis such as this could be handled by a skilled astrologer.

If you?re serious about your relationship then you should think about finding an astrological compatibility report, it aids you in understanding the conflicts that take place in the relationship, its predicting, the good and bad areas of the partnership, possibly even sexuality and so on.

GOP's top investigator targeted by critics (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Rep. Darrell Issa is finding himself in the spotlight as a target as well as the Republicans' chief inquisitor in investigations of the Obama administration, which are producing potential GOP campaign issues for 2012.

The California Republican has used his perch atop the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to expose the Justice Department's Operation Fast and Furious, a gun-tracking investigation that went awry, and to question National Labor Relations Board civil charges against the Boeing Co. in a dispute with the Machinists union.

Issa, one of the richest members of Congress with a net worth well over $100 million, acknowledged in an interview that key investigations "are maturing as the campaign season gets going." He said a recent swarm of allegations and negative inferences about him are not unexpected.

"I knew that the deeper I probed into things like Operation Fast and Furious, the more the White House and its allies would throw dirt in an effort to change the conversation away from what our fact-based investigations uncovered," he said. "I know it's not personal. These guys are driven by the fear of what we find and what happens when we tell the public about it."

In May, the White House hired Eric Schultz, a former spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, as a spokesman whose portfolio includes keeping tabs on Issa's investigations.

Last week, the liberal American Family Voices filed a complaint with the House Office of Congressional Ethics seeking an investigation to determine if Issa's business interests conflict with his work as a government official.

Issa's spokesman, Frederick Hill, said the complaint has no merit and described it as part of a campaign orchestrated by the White House against his boss.

"The White House has used an assortment of outside progressive groups in an effort to attack oversight and chairman Issa directly," Hill said. "This is just their latest salvo in an ongoing effort to obstruct oversight."

Schultz, the White House spokesman, said the allegation is not true.

Mike Lux, president of American Family Voices, also said the White House had nothing to do with the group's request for an investigation of Issa. Lux, a veteran of Democratic politics, served on President Barack Obama's transition team, working with liberal groups. He also worked in the White House during Bill Clinton's presidency and on Clinton's 1992 campaign.

"There's no coordination whatsoever between us and the White House and anybody related to Obama," Lux said.

The ethics complaint followed a story last month in The New York Times suggesting that Issa mixed his business interests and his official duties. Citing factual errors, his office asked the Times to retract the story. That didn't happen, but the newspaper ran corrections on three separate days.

Last March, Issa fired his deputy communications director, Kurt Bardella, after learning that Bardella had given a Times journalist Bardella's email exchanges with other reporters. Issa rehired Bardella last month. Bardella's new job does not involve contact with the media.

Issa's committee has held about 90 hearings this year, many of them on topics that probably won't be campaign issues: fixing a near-broke U.S. Postal Service, cybersecurity, recovery from the Gulf Coast oil disaster, open access to government information, freedom of information abuses and state and municipal debt.

But he has focused the bulk of the committee's investigative resources in high-profile issues that could provide fodder for the 2012 election campaign. Among them:

_Justice Department mistakes in Operation Fast and Furious, a now-abandoned program that may be connected to the death of a Border Patrol officer. The operation allowed guns bought illegally in the United States to go through middlemen to Mexican drug cartels in hopes of following the weapons and arresting major traffickers. Officer Brian Terry was killed last Dec. 14 in an Arizona firefight with suspected illegal immigrants, and two semi-automatic rifles found near the scene had serial numbers matching guns tracked under Fast and Furious. On Aug. 30, the Justice Department reassigned the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The U.S. attorney in Phoenix stepped down. A prosecutor who worked on the Phoenix-based operation was reassigned to civil cases.

_Government regulations that Republicans say discourage companies from creating new jobs. Several House committees have taken up that mantle, but Issa went so far as to solicit recommendations from businesses on what regulations they want eliminated. Republicans claim credit for Obama administration plans to roll back hundreds of existing or pending regulations, including on smog, a major contributor to several lung ailments. "The success is President Obama has embraced it," Issa said. "We won the argument."

Liberal Democrats and their allies have said Issa and other Republicans have gone too far by targeting regulations involving health and safety. Still, the Obama administration's top official overseeing the president's regulation review, Cass Sunstein, acknowledged at a hearing last week that Issa is having an impact..

"I'm especially grateful to you Mr. Chairman and to the committee as a whole for its constructive and important work on this issue over the past months," Sunstein said. "It's very significant to try to get regulation in a place where it's helpful to the economic recovery."

_The right of companies to locate facilities where they choose. Issa subpoenaed documents from the NLRB's civil case against Boeing after the board's general counsel charged the company with violating labor law by opening a production line for its new Dreamliner aircraft in right-to-work South Carolina. The NLRB contends Boeing is retaliating against Boeing workers in Washington state for past Machinists' strikes and wants the company to return the work to Washington. The case is still pending before an administrative law judge. The House, meanwhile, has voted to weaken the NLRB's enforcement power in unfair labor practice cases.

Issa also has demanded documents on Democratic fundraising from the White House, the Democratic National Committee and the Obama re-election campaign, an approach used by the same committee when it was under an earlier Republican chairman to expose political fundraising abuses during the Clinton administration. The hearings back then, however, are remembered more for their partisanship than their disclosures.

As the committee's chairman, Issa can issue subpoenas without the consent of Democrats. He's approved 19 of them so far.

The panel's senior Democrat, Elijah Cummings of Maryland, has peppered Issa with a growing list of topics he wants the panel to investigate: job creation, rebuilding infrastructure such as roads and bridges, the mortgage foreclosure crisis and corporate profits.

Cummings said he wanted an investigation ? with subpoenas ? of mortgage servicing companies that may have acted illegally in foreclosing homes.

"We want to find out more about what they were doing," Cummings said in an interview. "I asked if he would subpoena these folks. He waited for six months and, after we went to the media, he finally agreed to join us in asking questions. There were no subpoenas. If the shoe was on the other foot, subpoenas would have been issued."
