Leaving the theater with a sense that you cannot quite put what you have just witnessed into a particular category is always fascinating and tends to remain in the background of one’s thoughts for quite a while. Seen at REDCAT on Wednesday, November 11, 2023 takemehome by Damitri Chamblas with Kim Gordon was one such work that caused me to think that what Chamblas had created was dance theater or performance art theater. The press release calls it “a visual and auditory experience featuring dance performances, electric guitars, and amplifiers.” That it is!
This performance of takemehome at REDCAT was part of a lengthy tour that included major cities in France; Tijuana, Mexico; Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City.
There were nine dancers, a large luminous zeppelin looming over the stage, five amps and five guitars, members of the audience who participated in the first ten minutes of the work, and much more. Loneliness is one adjective that crossed my mind for takemehome. Anger, desperation, purgatory, and a homage to Dante’s Inferno also raced through my mind as I sat trying to take in all that was transpiring onstage.
As the audience entered, the zeppelin was a bright white with a mirror ball hanging inside and resting gently on the stage like a grounded blimp. Audience members were led onstage and quietly given instructions to lie down and remain motionless. Other performers entered, the invited were led around and then ushered back to their seats and the zeppelin was lifted about six feet off the stage.
As the piece proceeded, the zeppelin changed from white, to blue, to red and back to white. It appeared to represent a vehicle of transportation for the characters to enter, reflect on their existence and express how they were treated before moving on to whatever was their next adventure; be it death or just another reinvention of themselves.
The program notes refer to “the forgotten ones of the metropolises: prisoners, elders, unproductive ghosts, the neglected, the indecisive.” takemehome brings them all into focus through movement without mimicking or being too literal. People race across the space only to stop and do nothing. They come and go without being noticed until they begin to move alone, in twos or a group. Often there is one or two just standing on the edges observing or seemingly void of thought.
Chamblas’ takemehome was not an easy work to sit through and he did test one’s ability to observe, reflect on, listen to and allow oneself to feel the emotions coming across the space into one’s mind and heart. One must engage, seek out and above all question because his work was not entertainment.
The music by Kim Gordon was extraordinary. It was often loud, but never unbearably so. During one section, however, it did cause my seat to vibrate and in another I felt like her music was causing my blood to ripple; but it was not an unpleasant sensation.
Is it possible to dislike and to love a work at the same time? takemehome evoked this reaction from me and perhaps that is what art should do – make one question as well as to experience emotions.
The entire cast of takemehome were wonderful but a few standouts deserve mentioning. It was difficult to see anyone else whenever Marissa Brown was featured. She has an intense presence that literally draws one to her. Jobel Medina also drew attention during his thrashing solo that was filled with sudden stops. Gargling water while moving about, down to the floor and back up cannot be easy but François Malbranque managed to do so brilliantly. Eli Cohen gave a powerful performance throughout and finally, Salia Sanou’s closing solo was both heartbreaking and exciting to watch. The remainder of the exceptional cast included Marion Barbeau, Eva Galmel, Pierrick Jacquart, François Malbranque, and Kensaku Shinohara.
The stark but provocative lighting design was by Yves Godin in collaboration with Virginie Mira for the zeppelin conception. The very diverse and appropriate costumes were by Dimitri Chamblas and Andrealisse Lopez.

The morning glory Calystegia silvatica (syn. Calystegia sepium silvatica, C. inflata, and C. sylvestris) is known by the common name giant bindweed orlarge bindweed. It is the largest species of bindweed and is a strong rampant climber.
It is native to southern Europe but has been introduced to many other areas because it is an attractive garden plant. Calystegia silvatica subsp. fraterniflora(Mack. & Bush) Brummitt (short-stalked false bindweed) is native to North America.
It has large, arrow-shaped leaves and showy white trumpet-shaped flowers up to 9 centimeters in diameter. It is considered a weed in some areas where it has escaped cultivation and now grows wild. It spreads easily via hardy rhizomes. There are several subspecies.

Are you a traveler who wants to explore the world while making a positive impact on it? Do you believe that tourism should be beneficial not only for us, but also for the environment and local communities? Then this blog post is perfect for you! Sustainable tourism is becoming increasingly important as more people are aware of their impact on the planet. In this article, we’ll discuss how to be a responsible traveler and why sustainable tourism matters now more than ever. So pack your bags, let’s dive into the world of eco-friendly travel!
What is Sustainable Tourism?
Sustainable tourism is responsible travel that minimizes negative social, economic, and environmental impacts while maximizing positive social, economic, and environmental benefits. Sustainable tourism development requires the commitment of all stakeholders, including governments, the private sector, civil society, and individual travelers.
Sustainable tourism is built on three pillars: environmental sustainability, social sustainability, and economic sustainability.
Environmental sustainability in sustainable tourism means minimizing the negative impact of tourism on the natural environment while maximizing its positive impact. This includes reducing energy consumption and pollution; using renewable energy; protecting ecosystems; conserving water; and reducing waste.
Social sustainability in sustainable tourism means minimizing the negative impact of tourism on local communities while maximizing its positive impact. This includes respecting local cultures and customs; supporting local businesses; employing local residents; providing fair wages and working conditions for employees; and ensuring that tourist activities do not displace or disturb residents.
Economic sustainability in sustainable tourism means minimizing the negative impact of tourism on local economies while maximizing its positive impact. This includes spending money with locally owned businesses; buying locally produced goods; paying fair prices for goods and services; staying at environmentally friendly accommodations; and choosing tours and activities that benefit the local community.
Benefits of Sustainable Tourism
The term “sustainable tourism” is an oxymoron. How can something that generally involves traveling, often long distances, be sustainable? Surely flying in particular cannot be good for the environment.
At its heart, sustainable tourism is about reducing negative impact. It is about making better use of resources so that economic development can take place without damaging fragile ecosystems or putting too much strain on finite resources such as water and energy. Furthermore, it is about providing opportunities for local people to benefit from tourism, rather than seeing all the profits extracted by multinational companies. Sustainable tourism should also help to preserve cultural heritage and traditional ways of life.
There are many different types of sustainable tourism initiatives, but some of the most common include supporting local businesses, using public transport where possible, staying in environmentally friendly accommodation, and taking part in eco-tourism activities such as wildlife watching or hiking.
Sustainable tourism initiatives are important not only for the environment but also for local economies and communities. When done correctly, they can create jobs and bring much-needed income into rural areas. They can also help to preserve traditional cultures and way of life.
Challenges of Sustainable Tourism
The challenges of sustainable tourism can be broadly divided into two categories: environmental and social.
Environmental challenges include the impact of tourism on climate change, natural resources, and ecosystems. Social challenges include the impact of tourism on local communities, culture, and economy.
The Tourism industry is one of the world’s largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. In 2015, it was responsible for 8% of global emissions – more than the entire aviation industry. If unchecked, the growth of tourism could result in a further increase in emissions of up to 25% by 2050.
The unsustainable use of natural resources is another significant environmental challenge posed by tourism. The industry relies heavily on water, energy, land, and biodiversity. For example, hotels consume large amounts of water for laundry, landscaping, and swimming pools; while airlines use vast quantities of fuel. The construction of tourist infrastructure such as hotels and resorts often involves the clearing of natural habitats.
The negative impacts of tourism on ecosystems can be both direct and indirect. Direct impacts include pollution from tourist activities such as littering and boat traffic; while indirect impacts include the construction of roads and buildings which can fragment habitats and disturb wildlife. Climate change is also having an increasingly damaging effect on ecosystems around the world as a result of rising temperatures and extreme weather events.
Tips for Reducing Your Carbon Footprint While Traveling
1. Start by doing your research and planning your trip in an eco-friendly way. This means looking into sustainable accommodation options, considering the environmental impact of your travel choices, and seeking out responsible tour operators.
2. Once you’re on your trip, be mindful of your daily actions and how they affect the environment. For example, avoid using single-use plastics, take public transportation instead of taxis or private cars whenever possible, and make an effort to support local businesses.
3. When you return home from your trip, take some time to reflect on what you’ve learned and how you can continue to reduce your carbon footprint in your everyday life. Share your experiences with others and encourage them to think about sustainability when planning their own trips!
Supporting Local Communities When Visiting Destinations
Sustainable tourism is about more than just being eco-friendly – it’s about supporting local communities and economies. When you visit a destination, look for ways to support the people who live there.
Here are some ways to be a responsible traveler and support local communities:
Shop at local businesses: Buy souvenirs, groceries, and other items from local businesses instead of big chain stores. This helps keep money in the community.
Eat at local restaurants: One of the best ways to experience a culture is through its food. Eating at locally-owned restaurants is a great way to support the local economy.
Use public transportation: If possible, use public transportation instead of renting a car. This reduces traffic and pollution, and helps support public transit systems.
Visit local attractions: Instead of tourist traps, visit attractions that are important to the local community. This could be anything from a historic site to a community park.
Sustainable tourism is an ever-growing movement that promotes social responsibility and environmental conservation for travelers. By understanding the impact of our actions on local communities, ecosystems, and cultures, we can be responsible travelers who take steps to preserve the places we visit. As a traveler, you have the power to make sure that your trip has a positive effect on both yourself and your destination. With just a few simple changes in behavior and attitude, you can elevate your travel experience while also helping protect our world’s precious resources.

Today Liberty Counsel presented oral argument in a case that highlights the conflict between states that recognize same-sex civil unions and those that do not. The case of Miller v. Jenkins involves a conflict between the laws of Virginia and Vermont. David Corry, Senior Litigation Counsel for Liberty Counsel, presented the oral argument on behalf of Lisa Miller and her five-year-old daughter, in an attempt to protect Lisa’s parental rights from her former same-sex partner. The court proceedings will be archived on the Court’s web site, http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/audioindex/index.htm.
Lisa is the fit, biological mother of a five-year-old daughter, with whom Janet has neither a biological nor an adoptive relationship. Vermont court granted parental rights to Janet because Lisa and Janet traveled from Virginia to Vermont and entered into a civil union. After Lisa gave birth to her child, the relationship ended when Janet became abusive and Lisa became a Christian. In Virginia, where Lisa and her daughter reside, state law does not recognize same-sex “marriage,” civil unions, or domestic partnerships.
In April, Liberty Counsel will argue the same case before the Virginia Supreme Court. If the Virginia Supreme Court decision conflicts with the Vermont Supreme Court, the case will automatically go to the United States Supreme Court.
Same-sex unions disrupt the traditional family structure and pit one state against another. Children are the collateral damage of those pressing the same-sex union agenda.

Don't no if I've had a miscarriage.
On Friday I found out I was pregnant after my 2nd round of ivf, was so over the moon and I had a wedding that day too. On Saturday when I got home and went to the toilet their was fresh red blood on my pants. 2nd time I would to the toilet I have a red blood clot, I never took a picture as I was in shock and never looked at it properly as my partner was there. Then after a few times I had brown blood and had cramps. I called the fertility clinic today and they can't do a scan as I am only 5 weeks. I have to take a pregnancy test the end of the week. I'm going out of my mind right now and feel so drained with all of this.

Kalachakra Dasa was originally taught by Lord Shiva to Mother Parvati and that conversation was later recounted by Maharshi Parasara to his. “There is another dasa called Kalachakra dasa, which is the most respectable of all dasa systems”.

In this Kalachakra the Nakshatras will go in a counter clockwise order. The Moon is always visible, like the conscious mind always seen. This cycle is divided in 12 sections, called the signs of the zodiac. There are many controversies regarding its computation. The Rasa Ayurvedic practitioner’s first objective is to understand kalzchakra nature or constitution of the patient.
The general explanation of the signs is similar to the Western system.
Improper performance could result in problems for the family, as well as for the deceased. What is visible is what is outside, on the outer level.
It can be divided into three main sections. Deha and Jeeva Rasis In Error! Also, years are alternatingly male or female. Mercury Respiratory system, lungs, skin.

The Tibetans started to adopt the 60 year cycle inas it was taught both in the Kalachakra tantra and the Chinese tradition. Then the inner most center is the Mandala kalachalra Great Bliss. Each day, month and year, the Mewas move.
Analogous to above, India was known as the ‘white area’ and gave rise to the term ‘white astrology’.
Kalachakra Dasa Demystified (Part1)
As each sequence corresponds to one Pada, some scholars argue that the balance of Dasa applies to the entire cycle. In a Tibetan village, the astrologer would use his skills to advise people about nearly everything: View Site Map main pages only.
As a year is longer than days, some days are doubled, but others are skipped in a complicated manner. The innermost section of the Kalachakra is called the Fortress of Durga.
Time and Astrology
Dasa of a rasi gives the natural results of the rasi. Find out what you can do. The focus is no longer on mind, but it is on the real happenings. In that sense, Vimsottari dasa and Narayana dasa show the same events. The constitution determines a person’s basic body type, sensitivities and personality.
Over the centuries, a difference of almost a complete sign has accumulated. It concerns not only divination, but it is also used in the study of time cycles, Tibetan chronology and the compilation of the calendar. Results of gatis leaps Leap Savya nakshatras Apasavya nakshatras Lion Fear of animals, loss of friends, distress to near relations, fall in dungeons, danger from poison and weapons, fall from a vehicle, fever, destruction of house Death of father or elders, loss of position Monkey Loss of wealth, agriculture and animals, death of father or elders Danger from water, distress to father, loss of position, anger of rulers, wandering in the forests Frog Distress to relatives, elders and father, trouble from poison, weapons, enemies, thieves.
Energy going to Nivritti, the Rakshasi, is bad. Western astrology follows the cycles of the sun related to the seasons, and the Tibeto-Indian system follows the cycles of the sun related to the stars, and there is a small difference between these two. So those are the Dasas. These represent the equivalent of the Chinese pa-kua, which form the basis of the I Ching.

Botswana Institute of Development and Policy Analysis (BIDPA) has warned that the government food rations program targeting the needy, is discouraging subsistence agriculture and this has resulted with declining output from subsistence farming. In a study to investigate the impact of public transfers, particularly cash and food on subsistence crop production in Botswana, the government research tank said while government food rations given to the poor and vulnerable groups are improving household welfare, they have adversely affected subsistence farming.
BIDPA Executive Director Tebogo Seleka said households receiving government and private food rations have less incentive to grow food crops due to the increased availability of food at family level as food deliveries are directly substitutable for subsistence crop production.
“Results reveal that social pensions have impacted positively on the cultivated area, but have had no impact on cereal yields and output. However, government food rations have impacted adversely on cultivated area, yields and output. They are a disincentive to crop production because they are relatively more sizable, consistent and certain.
This, it is argued, is because food packages are directly substitutable for subsistence crop production,” said Seleka. The Agricultural Economist said public policy in Botswana should consider moving away from food to cash transfers to minimize such disincentive effects. More details here.

Claudia Schiffer’s breasts were the inspiration behind this new bowl designed by Karl Lagerfeld for Dom Pérignon, the famous Champagne brand by Moët & Chandon.
The Lagerfeld-designed bowl is a reinterpretation of an iconic 1787 dining service made especially for Queen Marie Antoinette. Reportedly, that bowl was the exact size of Antoinette’s breast. It was then used to model the coupe-shaped Champagne glass.
Having a piece of Schiffer isn’t going to come cheap. The bowl, which comes with a stand of three porcelain replicas of Dom Pérignon and a platter bearing the signatures of Lagerfeld and Schiffer, sells for $3,150 with a bottle of 1995 Dom Pérignon Oenothèque. Now sip on that!

health uninsured rates among immigrants: far higher
The Center for Immigration Studies estimates, from federal household survey data, that the healthcare uninsured rate among immigrants is 33% vs the 13% rate for native born Americans. Over a quarter of uninsured Americans are immigrants. The high uninsured rate is high among both legal and illegal immigrants.
Many of course get health insurance for free from community clinics and hospitals under free care provisions. This adds to the cost of health insurance, as hospital free care costs can be made up for by charging insurers more. Universal health insurance coverage will effectively remove this transfer of costs onto private health insurance, at least health insurance for legal immigrants.
The CIS summary in full:
As Congress and the nation debate health care reform, the impact of immigration policy is an important component of that discussion. This Memorandum provides information about immigration’s effect on the nation’s health care system. The analysis is primarily based on data collected by the U.S. government in March 2008 about insurance coverage in the prior calendar year (2007).
Among the findings:
* In 2007, 33.2 percent of all immigrants (legal and illegal) did not have health insurance compared to 12.7 percent of native-born Americans. (Table 1)
* Immigrants account for 27.1 percent of all those without health insurance. Immigrants are 12.5 percent of the nation’s total population. (Figure 1)
* There are 14.5 million immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) who lack health insurance. They account for 31.9 percent of the entire uninsured population. Immigrants and their children are 16.8 percent of the nation’s total population. (Figure 1)
* In 2007, 47.6 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children were either uninsured or on Medicaid compared to 25 percent of natives and their children. (Figure 2)
* Lack of health insurance is a significant problem even for long-time residents. Among immigrants who arrived in the 1980s, 28.7 percent lacked health insurance in 2007. (Table 2)
* The high level of uninsurance among immigrants is partly explained by the large share who have low levels of education. This means they often have jobs that do not provide insurance. Moreover, their lower incomes often make insurance unaffordable.
* Cultural factors may also contribute to the high rate of immigrant uninsurance. College-educated immigrants are twice as likely as college-educated natives to lack health insurance.
* In an earlier study, the Center for Immigration Studies estimated that 64 percent of illegal immigrants were uninsured in 2006, accounting for one out of seven people without insurance. If the U.S.-born children (under 18) of illegal immigrants are included, they account for one out of six people without insurance.
* Among legal immigrants (non-citizens), 27 percent were uninsured in 2006.

STEVE COTTRELL | A war memorial in search of a new home
Remember the 1993 movie Groundhog Day? Bill Murray, portraying television weatherman Phil Connors, became trapped in a time loop, forced to relive Feb. 2 — Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pa. No matter what he tried, he kept waking up on Feb. 2 with Sonny & Cher singing “I’ve Got You Babe,” then once again reporting on the appearance of Punxsutawney Phil.
For the past few years, the St. Augustine City Commission has been in a time loop of its own, periodically considering what to do with the Confederate Memorial at the Plaza de la Constitucion. Some citizens have demanded that the 19th century obelisk be removed from the plaza and relocated elsewhere; some have demanded that it remain right where it is.
A year ago, after four plaques were installed around the base of the memorial to offer visitors an interpretive history lesson and provide context for the memorial’s origin and purpose, it seemed a compromise had been struck: the memorial stayed, but historical context was added.
But that was last year. In recent weeks, due mainly to horrific, ugly events elsewhere, the memorial’s status was elevated from a stone-cold back burner to a blistering-hot front burner. To paraphrase philosopher Yogi Berra, the renewed community debate seemed like deja vu all over again — St. Augustine’s own Groundhog Day.
Beginning Monday morning and ending well past dinnertime, a St. Augustine City Commission meeting was conducted under the coronavirus limitations of what is called a CMT remote session — Communications Media Technology — to once again talk about the memorial’s future. During the ultra-marathon meeting, 400 or more citizens addressed their concerns in one form or another for nearly nine hours.
As a CMT meeting, it took place remotely with the five commissioners sitting at home listening to public comments then debating the issue while looking at small images of themselves and fellow commissioners on a computer screen. It was bizarre, to say the least.
After 39 speakers utilized a constantly sanitized microphone at City Hall, the commission heard from another dozen by telephone. Then came a flood of emails — an estimated 350 — each read into the record by city staff. Nine hours later, it was obvious that a major schism still existed in the community.
No matter your opinion about the memorial, I believe the idea of scheduling another public discussion was tainted from the get-go when Mayor Tracy Upchurch was quoted in The Record last week saying, “At this point, I’m going to vote to relocate the statue.”
Commissioners don’t wear black robes, but for all practical purposes they sit as a bench of five. As with judges, commissioners need to be impartial (or at least act as if they’re impartial). For a commissioner to announce in advance of a meeting how they plan to vote may not be a violation of the Sunshine Law, but it’s bad form and often leads to bad government. Especially so when a mayor experiences a “premature articulation” in public. The mayor should be the last person to comment, on any issue, not the first.
Yes, voters have a right to know how their elected representative stand on any given topic, but in a small town, where citizen participation is key to making sound decisions, the less said by officeholders in advance of meetings, the better.
The final vote Monday night was 3-2 to relocate the memorial at some unknown future date to an unknown future site, with Mayor Upchurch and commissioners Leanna Freeman and Nancy Sikes-Kline in the majority, and commissioners John Valdes and Roxanne Horvath in the minority.
After the meeting, the mayor told a reporter from The Record that the decision was a “resounding statement by our commission.” Sorry, Mr. Mayor, but a 3-2 split vote is not “resounding.” You won, sure, and you got what you wanted, but your pre-meeting statements were inappropriate.
Citizens on both sides of any given issue deserve better.

Next week I'll be starting a series of blog which would change my destiny and your destiny. I am here for the mere reason of searching happiness and so are you. Happiness is a choice. I choose happiness because this is what I am here for in this world. If you choose happiness too, then join me in my journey.
My series of blog is inspired by Micahel Anthony's ebook "How To Be Happy And Have Fun Changing The World." I already finished reading the book and I am giving it all thumbs up. I have been trying to connect myself to happiness for so many years. The reason I was not yet successful was the fact that I am on the wrong track. It is just like prescribing a wrong medicine to a certain disease; no matter how effective the medicine is, if it is not the right one for a certain kind of disease, it would still be worthless. This is true with me. I have read many good books about spirituality and healing by really enlightened individuals. I would be enlightened for a moment; but after the excitement is gone and my disease is triggered by the toxins of the mind I would return to my old weak self. The good thing is, I still do not lose hope of becoming happy, really, really happy.
One way of knowing happiness is by defining it. What is happiness for me? My own definition of happiness is, it is a state whereby I would be at peace and truly united with myself no matter what the circumstances are. It is a state where there are no conditions, no what ifs, no fears. One step of putting this definition into action is by scraping the barriers to happiness, taking out what causes unhappiness and eliminating it one by one. This I will do on my next blog. And I am following some of the steps of Michael Anthony.
The Way To Happiness
The hardest thing on changing one's destiny the way I am doing now, is not lacking the knowledge of the how to's; rather it is putting into action the how to's slowly, daily. Unhappiness caused by fears thrived for so long and is accumulated by just small things. With the passage of time it has grown enormously until one's destiny just like mine is already misdirected. It is only when I bumped so hard into reality that I awaken and realized something is wrong with myself. I believe in a good God; yet I am not happy. I believe that God wants me to become the person He destined me to be. I believe God created no mediocre. If I feel being a mediocre right now it only means I have not yet grown into the kind of person God created me to be. The choice for growth is mine and does not depend on God for God is always there for me.
God Is Happiness
God is happiness and pure bliss. If I am not yet fully happy now does not mean God is not with me. God is with me, I just have to take away from me anything that does not belong to God. I already identified the causes of my unhappiness; to take it slowly from me the way it enslaved me is what I will write on my next post.

Are Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo getting their own reality series? The former professional soccer player admitted on August 21 that he would happily welcome the idea if TLC got on board. The Counting On couple certainly gained a bigger fanbase after they moved to Los Angeles.
“The only thing sweeter than this donut… is the lovely lady enjoying it,” Jeremy, 31, captioned a photo of Jinger, 25, enjoying a sweet treat.
One fan commented, “You and Jinger should have a show where all y’all do is try and taste delicious new foods!” As fans of the Counting On stars know, they’ve been documenting all of their foodie adventures throughout Los Angeles.
Jeremy was enthusiastic about the idea and replied, “I agree. Let’s sit down with @tlc.”
Jinger and Jeremy have been hinting at wanting their own reality series since they began creating Q&A videos at their home. The couple has opened up about everything from their move to parenting their 1-year-old daughter Felicity.
The Counting On crew also followed them from Laredo, Texas to Los Angeles when they moved in June.
Counting On is a spinoff of 19 Kids And Counting. The show was created to focus on Jinger’s older sisters Jill and Jessa as they navigated being new moms and wives. The show slowly began to incorporate the rest of the older siblings and it seems Jinger and Jeremy want to recreate that magic!
Do you think Jinger and Jeremy will get their own show on TLC? Sound off in the comments below!

Brake pads are an essential part of a car’s braking system. They are responsible for stopping the car by pressing against the brake rotors. Over time, brake pads will wear down and will need to be replaced.
If you notice that your car’s brakes are not working as well as they used to, it is probably time to replace the brake pads. You can take your car to a mechanic to have this done, or you can do it yourself if you are comfortable with car maintenance.
How do I know when I need brake pads?
There are a few ways to tell when you need new brake pads. One way is to listen for a high-pitched squealing noise when you apply the brakes. This noise is caused by a small metal tab that rubs against the rotor to indicate that the pads are getting low. Another way to tell is to look at the thickness of the pads. Most pads have a wear indicator that will show you how much pad is left. Once the pad gets down to about 1/4 inch thick, it’s time to replace them.
Can you drive with broken brake pads?
No, you cannot drive with broken brake pads. You should replace your brake pads as soon as possible to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.
What do better brake pads do?
Brake pads are the part of the brake that contact the rotor to slow down or stop the vehicle. There are many different types of brake pads available on the market, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Some brake pads are designed for performance, while others are designed for durability. The type of brake pad you choose should be based on your driving style and the conditions you typically drive in.
What happens when you need new brake pads?
Assuming you are asking what happens when brake pads need to be replaced:
How much does it cost for a brake job?
This is a difficult question to answer because it can vary so much depending on the make and model of the vehicle, as well as the type of brakes. Generally, however, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 for a basic brake job.
How long do brake pads take to change?
It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to change brake pads. This all depends on the make and model of the vehicle, as well as the technician’s level of experience.
What causes brake pads to crack?
The most common cause of brake pads cracking is age and wear. The constant heat and friction from braking causes the material of the pads to break down and deteriorate over time. This can eventually lead to cracks forming in the pads. Another possible cause of brake pads cracking is exposure to extreme temperatures. If the pads get too hot from extended braking or are exposed to very cold temperatures, this can also cause the material to break down and crack.
How long do brake pads last?
This is a difficult question to answer definitively because there are many variables that can affect the lifespan of brake pads. Some of these variables include the type of vehicle, the type of brake pads, driving habits, and even the weather conditions in which the vehicle is driven. However, in general, most brake pads will last between 20,000 and 40,000 miles.
What do worn out brake pads sound like?
Worn out brake pads typically make a screeching or grinding noise when the brake pedal is applied. The sound is caused by the brake pads rubbing against the brake rotors.
Does it matter what brake pads I buy?
Yes, it does matter what brake pads you buy. Different brake pads are made of different materials, and each type of material has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, ceramic brake pads are more expensive than organic brake pads, but they last longer and don’t create as much dust. If you’re not sure which type of brake pad to buy, ask a mechanic or do some research online.
How do you wear brake pads?
Brake pads are typically mounted to the brake caliper and face the rotor. When the brakes are applied, the caliper clamps down on the rotor and the pads make contact with it, causing friction that slows the rotation of the rotor. The pads themselves are usually made of a composite material that is designed to wear down slowly and evenly.
Why do brakes fade?
Brake fade is typically caused by either overheating of the brake fluid or the brake pads/shoes. When the brake fluid overheats, it can start to boil and produce bubbles. These bubbles reduce the hydraulic pressure in the system, making it harder for the brakes to slow down or stop the vehicle. Overheating of the brake pads/shoes can also cause the friction material to break down, reducing the effectiveness of the brakes.
Can you drive with 3 brake pads?
If one of the brake pads is completely worn out, then you would only have two working brake pads, which is not enough. You need at least two working brake pads on each wheel (preferably three) in order to safely stop the vehicle.
How do you visually know if brake pads are bad?
If you have never replaced your own brake pads before, it is best to consult with a mechanic or someone who has experience. However, in general, you can tell if brake pads are bad if they are less than 1/4 inch thick, if they are warped or grooved, if they are cracked, or if the metal backing plate is visible.
Can you drive with 3 brakes?
No, you cannot drive with three brakes.
Is a brake job easy?
No, a brake job is not easy. It is a complex repair that should only be performed by a qualified mechanic.
What happens if I drive with my handbrake on?
If you drive with your handbrake on, your car will not be able to move very fast. The handbrake is a device that is used to stop the wheels from turning, so if it is engaged, the wheels will not be able to turn very quickly. This can be dangerous if you are driving on a busy road, because it could cause you to get into an accident.
How many brakes does a car have?
Most cars have four brakes – two in the front and two in the back. Some cars have more, though, like six-wheel drive trucks that have an extra set of brakes in the middle.
Can I replace brake pads myself?
Yes, you can replace brake pads yourself. You will need to purchase a brake pad replacement kit, which will include new brake pads and any necessary hardware. You will also need a few tools, including a jack and jack stands, a lug wrench, a caliper piston tool, and a C-clamp. You will need to disconnect the old brake pads and clean the caliper housing before installing the new pads. Once the new pads are in place, you will need to bleed the brakes to remove any air from the system.
How much does it cost to replace all 4 brake pads?
That depends on the vehicle and the quality of brake pads. Generally, you can expect to pay between $100 and $300 to replace all four brake pads.


Pressure Effects in Sealed Liquid-Crystal Cells
Liquid crystal cells are hermetically sealed glass containers completely filled with liquid. Two plane-parallel plates are sealed all around the edges to a frit glass spacer. The cell is then filled with liquid through two holes and sealed off with plugs of fusible metal. This construction gives rise to some internal pressure effects, because the thermal expansion coefficient of the liquid is about 100 times that of the glass. If the cell is filled and sealed off at room temperature, the liquid will exert a pressure at all higher temperatures. At lower temperatures it will be under tension. The pressure will deform the cell, making the walls bow out. This makes the volume enclosed by the cell a little larger and reduces the pressure but does not eliminate it completely. Some pressure or tension will always remain for temperatures different from the filling temperature. Repeated expansion and contraction may lead to loss of hermeticity or other cell failure. In what follows, the magnitude of the effect is calculated and the important factors are analyzed.

Edinburgh Castle is--are you ready for this?--an amazing place. It is not a single building, but a complex of buildings erected at various times over the last thousand years, like a small, walled city. I was overwhelmed by the power and majesty of the way the whole complex rises out of the cliff faces, as if when ancient geologic forces thrust the mountain up, it had the castle walls already attached. No photograph will ever do justice to that sight, I'm afraid. You'll just have to go there yourself.
The oldest surviving part of the castle is St. Margaret's Chapel, built in the early 12th century.
I made a rookie mistake with this next photo: shooting into the sun, instead of walking around to the other side of the cannon. I didn't notice the awful lens flare until I was back home, and it was a little late to go back and try again. But I wanted to show it to you anyway, because I like guns, and guns don't come much more magnificent than this beast.
The two explanatory signs for the cannon:
Here's a spot in the castle that's easy to miss: a tiny cemetery for soldiers' dogs.
I don't think there's any way for the public to get access to the dogs' cemetery for a closer look; you have to kind of lean forward over a railing and peer almost straight down on it. When I look at the full-sized photograph, most of the stones are too eroded to read, but I can make out a few of the dogs' names: Tinker, Flora, Sheena, Don, Major. The clearest one is on the flat-topped stone, two to the left of the sign, top center of the picture:
FAITHFUL CHUM OF
[illegible] WILSON PATERSON
Our wonderful guide for Edinburgh, with two of his many lady admirers from our tour group. (And yes, dammit, I've forgotten his name again!)
This was only the second time that I tried the automatic panorama feature of my new camera. It seemed fitting, as we had a truly panoramic view of the city from the castle. I just held down the shutter release as I panned left to right, and the camera's software instantly did the digital stitching.
OK, enough chat. Now I'll shut up and just let you enjoy the views.

Betty Lou would get married a total of six times including twice to the same time and none of them were good. Betty Lou Beets would shoot her second husband twice in the back of the head and would be acquitted at trial and for some reason she would marry him again though they would divorce a month later.
Betty would attempted to run over her third husband but thankfully he was able to survive
Betty Lou would marry Jimmy Don Beets and again everything went bad. Beets would report her husband missing in 1983. Betty Lou son would later tell police that his mother told him to leave the home and when he returned a couple of hours later Jimmy Don Beets was gone. The son would also tell police that his mother told him to put Jimmy heart medication and along with his mother they would push the boat into the link to make it appear that Jimmy Don Beets had died from accidental drowning. Jimmy Don Beets body was never found in the lake
In 1985 Betty Lou would be arrested and upon searching her home the police would find the charred remains of Jimmy Don Beets in a filled in wishing well. Police would also find the remains of one of Betty Lou Beets in the garage who had been fatally shot.
Beets would just be charged with the murder of Jimmy Don Beets however that was enough to be sentenced to death
Betty Lou Beets would be executed February 24, 2000 by lethal injection

Lil Smith, owner of the Redwood Beach Marina, which is located between the communities of Kemp and Seven Points or between the communities of Seven Points and *716 Gun Barrel City on Cedar Creek Lake or Reservoir, testified that around 10:00 o’clock p.m. on August 6, 1983, several of her customers at the marina noticed an empty boat drifting on the lake near the marina. Two of her customers went and got the empty boat and brought it to shore. Found inside the boat was a fishing license with the name “Jimmy Don Beets” thereon. The Coast Guard and Parks and Wildlife were notified and several of their personnel came to the marina. Smith then looked in the telephone book to see if anyone by the name of Jimmy Don Beets was listed, found that name, telephoned the listed number several times, and finally spoke to appellant and informed her about the empty boat and the finding of Beets’ fishing license. Betty Lou Beets went to the marina and identified the boat and the fishing license as belonging to Beets, who was then her lawful husband. Because of high winds, it was decided by the authorities that a search for Beets’ body would not commence until the next morning, August 7th.
Johnny Marr, a deputy sheriff for Henderson County, testified that at approximately 8:30 o’clock a.m. on August 7th, he and Hugh G. De Woody, the Fire Chief of the Payne Spring Fire Department, went to Betty Lou Beets residence to see if Beets had possibly returned home since he had been reported missing. Appellant told Marr that her husband “had went fishing the night before [on the lake and `had been having trouble with his boat’], and hadn’t returned Saturday morning.” Marr told appellant that as speed boat races were taking place on the lake that day, and because of the numerous boats that would be in the lake that day, it was likely that Beets’ body would be found by someone. When appellant testified, she denied that Marr and De Woody came to her residence that morning.
Mike Warren of the Parks and Wildlife Department testified that extensive search efforts were made by members of several different fire departments, which included members of the City of Dallas Fire Department, for whom Beets had been employed for approximately 26 years, members of the Henderson County Sheriff’s Department, Coast Guard personnel, and many other persons. Although the search lasted for three weeks, Beets’ body was never recovered.
Denny Burris, a chaplain with the City of Dallas Fire Department, testified that he visited with appellant several times after Beets was reported missing. Burris testified that Betty Lou Beets made inquiry of him whether she was covered by any insurance policies that Beets might have had with the City of Dallas, as well as inquiring whether she would be entitled to receive any pension benefits that Beets might have accumulated. Appellant did not profess to Burris that she had any specific knowledge of either insurance coverage on Beets’ life or any pension benefits Beets might have accumulated. Burris told her that he did not know but would check into the matter and report back to her. Burris did check and learned that Beets’s life was insured with the total amount of insurance being approximately $110,000. He also learned that appellant would be entitled to receive approximately $1,200 each month from Beets’ pension benefits. Burris advised appellant of his findings, and also told her *717 that according to the City Attorney of Dallas that because Beets’ body had not been recovered there would be a seven year waiting period before any payment of insurance proceeds could occur.
Rick Rose, an investigator for the Henderson County Sheriff’s Department, testified that he became directly involved in this case almost two years after Beets’ had disappeared. His direct involvement in the case occurred after “[he] received information from a [credible] confidential informant who gave [him] facts that there may be possible … questions [concerning the cause of the death] of Jimmy Don Beets.” This occurred sometime in the spring of 1985. At that time, neither Beets’ body nor the physical remains of his body had been found. As a result of Rose’s investigation, he secured an arrest warrant for Betty Lou Beets that charged her with the murder of Beets. Rose had her arrested on June 8, 1985 by members of the Mansfield Police Department, who turned her over to Rose, who booked her into the Henderson County Jail. The validity of the arrest warrant, which is not in the record of appeal, was not challenged in the trial court nor is it challenged on appeal in this Court. Rose testified that after appellant was incarcerated he went and secured “an evidentiary search warrant” to search Betty Lou Beets’s residence and its premises. The validity of the search warrant, which is also not in the record, was not challenged in the trial court nor is it challenged on appeal in this Court. Pursuant to the execution of the search warrant, physical remains of the bodies of Beets and Doyle Wayne Barker, another former husband of appellant’s, were found at different locations on the premises where Betty Lou Beets and Beets were living at the time Beets disappeared. Beets’ remains were found buried in the “wishing well,” which was located in the front yard of the residence. Barker’s remains were found buried under a storage shed located in the backyard of the residence. Two bullets were recovered from Beets’ remains. The remains of the two bodies were transported to the Dallas Forensic Science Laboratory where they were subsequently identified as being the remains of the bodies of Beets and Barker. A Collector’s item pistol that had been previously recovered from the appellant’s residence as a result of an incident that did not involve the appellant and was not directly related to the cause at Bar was also turned over to the Dallas laboratory.
Robert “Robbie” Franklin Branson, II, one of appellant’s sons, who we will hereinafter refer to as Robbie, testified. The trial judge later instructed the jury that Robbie was, as a matter of law, an accomplice witness to the Beets’ killing. Robbie, who was then on felony probation for committing a burglary that had occurred in Navarro County, which is unrelated to this case, testified that he was living with Betty Lou Beets and Beets on August 6, 1983, when *718 appellant falsely reported Beets missing; that appellant told him that she was going to kill Beets that evening; that Robbie then left the residence at the suggestion of appellant, because “she said she wanted me to leave and she didn’t want me to be around when she shot and killed him,” and remained absent for approximately two hours, after which he returned to the residence when he learned that his mother had actually shot and killed Beets during his absence. Robbie thereafter assisted appellant in placing Beets’ body in the “wishing well”, which he and Beets had previously constructed. The next day, after Betty Lou Beets put some of Beets’ heart pills in the boat that Beets owned and after Robbie took the propeller off the boat, Robbie took the boat to the main part of the lake, abandoned it, and was soon met by appellant near that location. The two then returned home. During cross-examination, the appellant’s attorney several times accused Robbie of being the actual killer of Beets, which Robbie denied. Robbie admitted that his participation with appellant in burying Beet’s body in the “wishing well” had preyed on his conscience. However, except for telling his ex-common-law wife who did not testify, Robbie remained silent on the subject for almost two years. Robbie testified that he remained silent because he wanted “to protect his mother.” However, after his mother was arrested, Robbie commenced cooperating with the authorities, “to protect his back[side].” Robbie testified that he knew of Barker, but had only seen him one time, and that he did not live with his mother and Barker when she and Barker were married and lived together.
Shirley Stegner, one of Betty Lou Beets’s daughters and a sister of Robbie, also testified for the prosecution. Shirley testified that her mother telephoned her on the night of August 6th and requested that Shirley come to her residence, which Shirley did. During the telephone conversation, Shirley asked her mother “if she had done what we had talked about before,” which conversation related to appellant previously telling Shirley that she was going to kill Beets, put Beets’ body in the boat, have Robbie take the boat out into the lake, where he would drop Beets’ body into the lake, and then set the boat adrift, so that it would look like Beets had accidentally drowned. Appellant responded: “Yes.” Shirley went to her mother’s residence but after she got there appellant informed her that “everything was taken care of and that I could go back home,” which she did. Shirley testified that several weeks later she returned to her mother’s residence when she was informed by Betty Lou Beets that “her and my brother Robbie had buried Jimmy Don Beets in the wishing well.” Shirley never testified that appellant had admitted to her that she had killed Beets in order to recover on any insurance policies or to receive any pension benefits that Beets might have had.
At this time during the trial, the trial judge conducted a hearing on the Betty Lou Beets’s motion to exclude any extraneous offense testimony going to the death of Barker, after which the trial judge overruled the motion, thus permitting the State to then present testimony going to the disappearance and death of Barker. See, however, post.
In the presence of the jury, Shirley testified that in October, 1981, almost two years before Beets disappeared, when her mother and Barker were married and living together, while she and her mother were “sitting around a campfire”, her mother told her that “she was going to kill Doyle Wayne Barker” because “she couldn’t put up with anymore of him beating her and that she didn’t want him around anymore.” Her mother also told her that “the trailer [house] was in his name and she was just a co-signer on it and that if they were to get a divorce, that he would end up with the trailer [house].” Approximately 3 or 4 days later, at Shirley’s residence, Shirley and her mother had another conversation, during which her mother told her that “it was all over with and she had done what she intended to do … She told [Shirley] that she waited until [Barker] went to sleep and then she got the gun and covered it with a pillow and pulled the trigger and when she pulled the trigger, the pillow [interfered] with the firing pin, so she hesitated *719 for a minute, afraid that Wayne was going to wake up, and she cocked the gun again and fired and shot him in the head.” Thereafter, Shirley assisted her mother in disposing of Barker’s body: “We drug him from the trailer outside to the back and put him in the hole that had already been dug [in order to build a barbeque pit].” Shirley further testified that “the next day [she and her mother] went and bought some cinder blocks and [built] a patio” over the hole in which Barker’s body had been placed. Subsequently, a large storage shed replaced the patio. During cross-examination, Shirley testified that although she had also been charged with the murder of Barker and her $1,000,000 bail bond had been reduced to $5,000 she had not been promised anything by the prosecution in exchange for her testimony against her mother. We pause to point out that in the conversations that Shirley had with her mother regarding Barker’s death, other than the reference to the trailer house, appellant did not admit to Shirley that she was going to kill Barker for financial gain. There is also no evidence whatsoever in the record that might reflect or indicate that appellant financially benefited from Barker’s death. There is also no evidence in the record that might reflect or indicate that the trailer house to which appellant referred and the trailer house in which Betty Lou Beets and Beets resided when Beets was reported missing are one and the same trailer house.
Rick Rose was recalled to testify. Rose testified to the recovery of the skeletal or physical remains of Beets and Barker’s bodies. See ante. The remains were transported to the Dallas Forensic Science Laboratory where they were subsequently identified as being the skeletal or physical remains of Beets and Barker’s bodies.
Dr. Charles S. Petty, the Chief Medical Examiner and Director of the Dallas County Forensic Science Laboratory, testified to the “post-mortem autopsy” that he performed on the skeletal remains that had been sent to the laboratory. Petty testified that he identified the bones as those of Beets and Barker’s bodies. Petty testified that the cause of death of Beets was “the gunshot wound defect in the skull and locating of not one but two bullets, one in the region of the skull and the other in the region of the bones of the trunk. In my opinion, death was due to one, if not two, gunshot wounds … One in the head and one in the trunk somewhere.” Two bullets were recovered from the skeletal remains of Beets’ body; one from the skull area of the body and one from the trunk area of the body. Petty also testified that the bullets found in Beets’ skeletal remains could have been fired from the same weapon, but he was unable to positively testify that they were fired from the Collector’s item pistol. Three bullets were recovered from the skeletal remains of Barker’s body. Petty testified that the cause of Barker’s death was “gunshot wounds.”
Allen Jones, a firearms examiner employed by the Dallas County Forensic Science Laboratory, testified that he examined the recovered bullets, after which he formed the opinion that they were fired from a .38 calibre type weapon, which was the calibre of the Collector’s item pistol. Jones, however, was unable to positively testify that in his opinion the bullets that were fired came from the Collector’s item pistol that had been previously recovered from the appellant’s residence. See ante.
Jackie Collins, a niece of Beets who was also an employee of J.C. Penney Life Insurance Company, testified to Beets’ personally cancelling an insurance policy in the amount of $10,000 on May 19, 1983. The application, which had apparently been sent with a monthly J.C. Penney bill to either Beets or appellant or to both of them, had been filled out without Beets’ knowledge. What attracted Collins’ attention to the application was the fact that the address on the application was not Beets’ but was that of another of appellant’s daughters. Appellant *720 was the named beneficiary on the application. When appellant testified, she did not deny that she had filled out the application, signed Beets’ name to the application, and returned it with the monthly payment.
Peggy Sherrills Webb, an employee of the City of Dallas who was a “Benefits Supervisor with Personnel”, testified that Beets had a life insurance policy with the City in the amount of $86,000, with the appellant the named beneficiary of the policy.
George Chaney, a documents examiner who had been employed for 23 years by the Secret Service and was presently employed by James Leroy Lewis and Associates, documents examiners located in Dallas, testified that the signature on the J.C. Penney’s application, “J.D. Beets”, was signed by Betty Lou Beets , but that the signature “J.D. Beets,” that authorized the policy to be cancelled, was Beets’ actual signature. Chaney also testified that the signature on the certificate of transfer or bill of sale for the boat, “J.D. Beets”, which occurred when the boat was sold to the Mitchells, was signed by Betty Lou Beets . This, however, occurred on July 24, 1984, almost one year after Beets had disappeared. When Betty Lou Beets testified, she did not dispute the fact that she had sold the boat to the Mitchells nor did she dispute that she signed Beets’ name to the bill of sale.
Jerry Hast, an employee of the City of Dallas, who was the “Administrator of the Dallas Police and Fire Pension Fund”, testified concerning an application for benefits that had been filed by an attorney on behalf of Betty Lou Beets , which occurred after the letters testamentary had issued. Hast testified that “The Pension Board” voted to approve a settlement with appellant for pension benefits. This settlement was going to be finalized on June 10, 1985. Hast also testified that the settlement was cancelled after members of the Board learned that Betty Lou Beets had been arrested for murdering Beets. The appellant would have received $15,852.59 plus a monthly benefit of $790.42 for the rest of her life or until she remarried had the settlement been finalized. Whether the $15,852.59 referred to any insurance policies is not reflected in the record on appeal. As previously pointed out, our Probate Code prohibits distribution of a missing person’s estate until three years from the date the letters testamentary issued have expired.
E. Stewart Elrich, Jr., Manager of the Group Life Claims Department of Republic National Life Group Insurance Company, testified that his company had issued a life insurance policy on Beets’ life in the amount of $23,428. The policy also contained an accidental death provision in the amount of $20,000. At some time, presumably after March 5, 1985 when the letters testamentary issued, an attorney wrote the company on behalf of Betty Lou Beets stating that “an application had been made for administration of an estate.” No action was ever taken on the attorney’s letter.
At this time during the trial the State rested. Hon. Billy Bandy, the prosecuting attorney, soon thereafter stated into the record that he rested when he did because “I always wait until it’s the mood strikes me and then I rest … [T]he way things went, I decided to just shut it down [when I did].” Counsel for appellant then stated: “You think it’s going that good, huh?” Bandy did not verbally respond to counsel’s question. From remarks in the record, we can infer that when the State rested when it did that this may have caught appellant’s counsel by surprise.[11A] The careful trial judge, however, informed appellant’s counsel that he would give him whatever time he might need before proceeding, but counsel declined the offer: “No, I don’t need anymore time. I’ll be here at nine in the morning”, and counsel did appear as promised.
Betty Lou Beets first had Faye Lane, another of her daughters, testify. Lane testified that neither Robbie nor Shirley ever mentioned to her that their mother admitted to them that she had killed Beets or Barker or participated in burying them after they had been killed. Lane also testified that *721 “everything that [Robbie has] ever told her, [she] believed.”
Raymond Bone, who lived with Betty Lou Beets after Beets’ disappeared, testified. Bone testified that he entered into an agreement with law enforcement officials, in particular Rose, that he would keep them posted at all times as to the whereabouts of appellant, and he did. It is obvious to us from the testimony that was adduced, as it must have been to the jury, that before appellant was arrested Bone had notified the authorities where she would then be located. Why Rose and Henderson County authorities, rather than Mansfield authorities, did not arrest Betty Lou Beets when she was arrested is not clear from the record. Bone testified that he did not believe that appellant was guilty of killing Beets, which conclusion was based upon the following: “I lived with her and … she always treated me decent.” There is no evidence in the record that appellant ever attempted to kill Bone or made arrangements for his disappearance. Bone’s financial condition, which appears to have been lacking, was not directly brought out at trial.
Bobby Wayne Branson, another son of Betty Lou Beets , who we will refer to as “Bobby”, testified that before Beets disappeared, Robbie, his brother, and Beets had a “couple” of arguments and fights over various and sundry things, several of which occurred after Beets, appellant, Bobby, and a friend of Bobby’s had taken a vacation trip to Virginia where they visited with Betty Lou Beets ‘s mother and father and her relatives. The vacation trip occurred just “a couple of weeks” before Beets disappeared, and from everyone who testified that was familiar with the trip it appears to have been a happy trip. There was also testimony that before Beets and appellant lawfully married in 1982 the two of them took a trip to Virginia to attend appellant’s brother’s funeral. Bobby also testified that when his mother and Barker were married and living together he lived with them “part of the time.” Bobby further testified that when he noticed that Barker was no longer to be seen around the house, he asked his mother where he had gone. She replied: “[H]e was just gone … he left.”
Betty Lou Beets herself testified. In reference to the killing of Beets, her former husband to whom she had been lawfully married less than one year, appellant’s testimony was contrary to what Robbie had testified in that she testified that it was Robbie, and not her, who had shot and killed Beets, and that she merely assisted Robbie in disposing of his body. Appellant testified: “I could never hurt Jimmy Don … I loved Jimmy Don. Nobody’s ever been as good to me as he was.” The record either reflects or indicates that Robbie had commenced living with appellant and Beets after he was released from jail for a burglary offense that he committed in Navarro County, and that prior to that time he had lived with his natural father. Betty Lou Beets’s attorney, who accused Robbie during his cross-examination of being the murderer of Beets, see ante, represented Robbie when he was accused, convicted, and placed on probation for committing the burglary in Navarro County. The bail bond fee and the attorney’s fee apparently were paid by Beets. Betty Lou Beets admitted during her testimony that she falsely reported Beets missing. Betty Lou Beets also testified that after she, Beets, Bobby, and Bobby’s friend returned from their vacation trip to Virginia, she and Beets suspected that Robbie had broken the propeller on the boat, which had also been hot wired; that Robbie had caused the tires on her truck, which was muddy and dirty, and not clean as it was when they left on their trip, to become flat; that Robbie took money out of a whiskey bottle that belonged to Beets; and caused the inside of the trailer house to become untidy. Betty Lou Beets testified that this highly upset Beets. Robbie denied doing these things and blamed Shirley. Betty Lou Beets testified that during the evening when Beets was supposed to have gone boating, before going to bed, he, Beets, and Robbie got into an argument over the above as well as over Robbie quitting his job. Betty Lou Beets testified that the argument occurred when she was in the living room and Beets and Robbie were in the bedroom. The argument generated *722 into fisticuffs. Betty Lou Beets testified that soon thereafter she heard a shot fired from a pistol. She then went into the bedroom where she saw Beets, whose head was bleeding and had blood coming from his mouth, lying on the floor. Betty Lou Beets then told Robbie to go and find his brother Bobby, which Robbie did. Appellant then attempted to care for Beets, who appears to have then been dead, by putting a bedsheet over his body and telling him that if he were still alive he would understand that she and Robbie were going to bury him in their front yard in order to protect Robbie. Appellant testified that she telephoned Shirley and asked her to come to the trailer house, which Shirley did. When Shirley arrived, Beets’ body was still in the bedroom. Shirley did not see the body. Shirley was told by Betty Lou Beets that Beets had gone to Dallas that evening with a friend. After appellant told Shirley “everything was all right”, Shirley left and returned to her residence in Dallas. Betty Lou Beets and Robbie then waited until Bobby was asleep, after which they took Beets’ body and “put it into the planter. It wasn’t a wishing well.” Betty Lou Beets told Robbie that if the authorities ever found Beets’ body to say that he knew nothing about it “[a]nd that [she] would take the blame.” Betty Lou Beets’s testimony regarding the other events that occurred that evening and the days that followed regarding finding Beets’ body is pretty much cumulative to the other testimony that was adduced, except she denied that Marr and De Woody had come to her residence the Saturday morning after Beets was reported missing. Betty Lou Beets testified that knowing Beets’ body was buried in the front yard of their residence “bothered her and it always will. I had to move out of the trailer for a while. I couldn’t stay there. When it got dark, I couldn’t leave the living room and I couldn’t go outside.” Betty Lou Beets also testified that approximately one year later Robbie told her that “we needed to move the body”, but appellant told him that “I couldn’t go through with it again.” As to where the remains of Beets’s body might now be, Betty Lou Beets testified that she did not know but testified that “I hope it was where his mama and daddy want him to be and where I bought the lots at.” Betty Lou Beets further testified that it was one of her attorneys, and not she, who suggested that she try and recover on the insurance policy or policies. She testified that “I didn’t expect to get any of it … I’ve never felt like I was entitled to anything.” She admitted that she had sold Beets’ boat, tried to sell a house that appears to have been Beets’ separate property, and also testified that the house, which had mysteriously burned, was for sale before Beets disappeared. She admitted that she had tried to recover on a fire insurance policy, at her attorney’s suggestion. She further admitted that she tried to take out the J.C. Penney insurance policy but that Beets cancelled it, after which he told her not to do such again until they had had an opportunity to discuss it. The facts are undisputed that other than several salary checks and the proceeds from the boat sale, Betty Lou Beets did not receive any other sums of money as a result of Beets’ death. Betty Lou Beets admitted that she had been previously convicted of a misdemeanor offense, which, on cross-examination, was shown to have been for public lewdness, which apparently occurred when she was in Charlie’s Angels Bar, a Dallas bar, where she was then employed but was not working when whatever occurred happened. Betty Lou Beets testified that she “auditioned” that night, without specifying what type audition it was for: “Well, it’s a topless place but I wasn’t topless.” Betty Lou Beets also admitted on cross-examination that she had been convicted of another misdemeanor offense that resulted when she shot another former husband, Bill Lane, in the side and stomach. We have not been made privy to the details of the Lane shooting. There is no evidence that Betty Lou Beets ever tried to kill Lane or cause Lane to disappear so that she could financially benefit from Lane’s death. On cross examination, she denied knowing that *723 Barker was buried in the backyard of her residence.
