The Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified school board is expected to settle with the family of a boy after a teacher had a three-month sexual relationship with him when he was 16 years old.
Sheila Heacock is the only Yucaipa-Calimesa teacher whose teaching credential has been revoked in the past five years, according to documents released by the school district. Heacock was fired and reported to state credentialing authorities three years ago after she pleaded guilty to having unlawful sex with a minor at least three years younger than her.
According to San Bernardino County court records, the Yucaipa-Calimesa school board is expected to vote on a proposed settlement agreement at an upcoming meeting.
The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed, and won't be for "a week or two," Superintendent Cali Binks wrote in an email on Thursday.
The school board's next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 7, and its agenda will be made public on Friday, Nov. 3.
In an April 18, 2014, letter released by the district in response to a California Public Records Act request by this organization, then-Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Melissa Moore told Heacock, "Effective immediately, you are not to be on any school grounds."
The letter is part of a set of documents released by the district in response to this organization's public records request, the second such request sent to public school districts in the past five years.
In 2012, this organization asked districts for five years of teacher complaints, along with documents and information about the outcomes of the investigations. The request was in response to the Los Angeles Unified School District's 2011 Miramonte Elementary School sex scandal. The resulting series of articles, titled Safe Schools, looked at teacher complaints in school districts across Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties.
On July 3, five years after the original set of public record act requests, this publication sent out a new wave of requests to local school districts, covering the 2012-13 through the 2016-17 school years.
This article is part of a new Safe Schools 2017 series. The articles are intended to allow parents, district employees, taxpayers and others see how local districts handle complaints, and let those who complained during the five-year period see what happened as a result.
Heacock was arrested in April 2014 on suspicion of unlawful sex with a minor, oral copulation with a person under 18, penetration by a foreign object with a person under 18 and contacting a minor with intent to commit an offense.
Heacock, also known as Sheila Roostai, had worked for Yucaipa-Calimesa for 18 years at the time of her arrest, the last three as a Spanish teacher at Yucaipa High School.
The 16-year-old male student, a Yucaipa resident, told San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department deputies that the relationship ran from January through March 2014. According to a complaint filed by Irvine law firm Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, which represents the boy's family in the civil trial against the district, the boy was dating Heacock's daughter — herself a student at Yucaipa High. Heacock reportedly told the boy that her daughter was too young to have sex with him and began grooming him for sex for more than a year before the district reported the relationship to the Sheriff's Department, according to the complaint.
Heacock was placed on administrative leave after the district was informed of the investigation into her crime.
According to the documents released by the district, on June 4, 2014, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing informed the district that Heacock's credentials had been suspended, after charges were filed by the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office.
At the May 27, 2015, Yucaipa-Calimesa school board meeting, the board unanimously voted to terminate Heacock's employment.
"Heacock pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor more than three years younger than her," Moore's letter reads in part. Heacock had earlier pleaded not guilty to all three charges of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and three counts of oral copulation with a minor.
On July 1, 2015, Heacock was sentenced 270 days in county jail and five years of probation.
Heacock's Crosscultural, Language and Academic Development Certificate to has been revoked by the CTC, according to its website.

Coming off legislative victories in recent years, gun-rights advocates pushed Kansas lawmakers Thursday to allow the state's residents to carry concealed firearms without requiring them to obtain a permit.
The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee had a hearing on a bill to expand concealed carry to anyone in Kansas who can legally own a gun. The panel took no action, but its chairman promised a vote, and several members made comments supporting the measure.
All states allow some form concealed carry, but the National Rifle Association says Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming don't require a permit anywhere in the state, while Montana allows it without a permit outside of cities, which is most of the state.
Kansas last year enacted an NRA-backed law prohibiting local restrictions on gun sales, gun ownership and the open carrying of firearms. A 2013 law declares that the federal government has no authority to regulate firearms manufactured, sold and kept only in Kansas, and it's illegal to use state tax dollars to promote or oppose gun-control policies.
Whether you're into AR-15s, AKs, carbines, shotguns, self-defense pistols, or hunting rifles, American Firearms Review will provide you with the most up to date product reviews, news, and everything else you need to know about firearms and accessories.

Friday the 13th is based on a Greek derivation - dekatriaphobia, a superstitious day. It happens when a Friday falls on the 13th day of the month. It can also be described as an extreme or irrational fear or dislike of this particular day/date. Many Ex-Pats recognise the day as something special. Depending on who they are, that means it is a day of good luck or bad luck.
The fear of Friday the 13th or more formally known as" "paraskavedekatriaphobia" is an expression derived from the modern Greek words: Paraskeví (Παρασκευή) (Friday) dekatreís (δεκατρείς) (thirteen) and phobía (φοβία) meaning fear. This is a more focussed specialized form, taken from "triskaidekaphobia", meaning a simple phobía (fear) of the number thirteen. Yet another interpretation of this phobía can be referred to as "friggatriskaidekaphobia" (a Greco-Norse derivation). The term triskaidekaphobia was first used in 1911 and came into mainstream use in 1953.
According to folklore specialists, there is no written evidence for a "Friday the 13th" superstition before the 1800's. The earliest known documented reference in English occurs in a biography of Gioachino Rossini published in 1869:
"(Rossini) was surrounded to the last by admiring and affectionate friends, and if it be true that, like so many other Italians, he regarded Friday as an unlucky day, and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable that on Friday, the 13th of November, he died."
Previously and for the most part, Friday the thirteenth as a superstition was for a long time perpetuated by folkloric word of mouth in Britain and Ireland.
And so to the theorists on Friday 13th superstitions connecting Friday with the number thirteen.
In numerology, the number "twelve" is viewed as the figure of completeness. For number "12" stuff, look how there are twelve months in a year, twelve hours of the clock, twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus and the twelve ancient Greek gods of Olympus.
On the other hand, the number thirteen was considered an irregular figure as an "add on" to the number "12" breaking this completeness. Much negativity in Christendom surrounds the number 13. This can be traced to the fact there were 12 disciples at the "Last Supper". It is said in the scriptures that a participation of the thirteenth disciple would result in the death in one of them.
Norse mythology took up the same theme - that placing thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners. This myth is linked to Friday, the origin of the Norse name of "Frigga", the free-spirited goddess of love and fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and labeled a witch. Legend has it that every Friday, the spiteful goddess convened a meeting including herself, eleven other witches, and the devil - thirteen in all - and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming week.
Cool Myth Stuff - For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as the "Witches' Sabbath."
Crucifixion of Jesus Christ reputedly took place on a Friday.
Black Friday (Unlucky Friday)
Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s in the United States.
English History
For the English, Friday has been considered an unlucky day since the 14th century as recalled in "The Canterbury Tales". As a result, those in business have long regarded a Friday that falls on the 13th as being unlucky to start a new journey or new project.
Popular Fiction:
"Friday, the Thirteenth", the book, Published in 1907
Thomas W. Lawson's popular novel Friday, the Thirteenth, in which an unscrupulous broker takes advantage of the superstition to create a Wall Street panic on a Friday the 13th spawned many published references to Friday the thirteenth being an unlucky day.
"The Da Vinci Code" the book, published in 2003
The 2003 novel, The Da Vinci Code popularized the superstition linking the Knights Templar, a monastic military order founded in Jerusalem in 1118 AD, whose mission was to protect Christian pilgrims during the Crusades. In the book, King Philip secretly ordered the mass arrest of all the Knights Templar in France on Friday, October 13, 1307 - Friday the 13th.
|Friday the Thirteenth - Date Stuff until 2021
Mark your Diary
British or Irish diarists will tell you that any month that begins on a Sunday will contain a Friday the 13th, and there is at least one Friday the thirteenth in every calendar year.
The English language has not taken many words into common usage from modern Greek, but Friday the 13th is a rare example of one, in this case from paraskavedekatriaphobia.

New York Dictionary
Original title: Diccionario de Nueva York
Author: Alfonso Armada
This is not a travel guide or an adventure book or an analysis of a city and its people or a study of the urban landscape … And it is all the above at the same time. After seven years living and working as a correspondant in New York, New York Dictionary contains people and characters, stories and history, writers and politicians, literary and architectural references, prose and poetry. But it is mainly a walk through New York that is destined to become a necessary reference for all those who want to truly know the city "that has made, from the mask and constant renewal, an identity".

In today's NY Times review of the Armory Show, Karen Rosenberg described Warhol Museum director Eric Shiner's close participation in this commercial art extravaganza as "the boundary-blurring of a museum director playing curator at an art fair (and justifying this decision with the old Warholian saw about art and business)."
I've already issued some cutting commentary about this "old Warholian saw." As I said here (in a post about Shiner's shine for Brillo), the business-friendly practices of some artists, like Warhol and Murakami, "doesn't give museums license to loosen their [own] ethical standards" regarding the promotion of commercial interests.
I queried Eric about this when I ran into him Wednesday at the Armory Show, for which he served as curator of Armory Focus USA, which aims (in his words) "to give a barometer of what contemporary art from America has become."
Here's what Shiner said to justify his applying his talents to enhancing a selling show:
When I first was approached, I thought, "There's always a divide between the commercial world and the museum world and many people are afraid to tread over those borderlines." And I thought, "We are always working together with commercial galleries for exhibitions and loans to museums. We certainly have a symbiotic relationship."
And I thought, "What other opportunity am I ever going to have to curate something within a commercial environment and to perhaps make fun of that environment and perhaps tweak it a little bit from within?"
And I then realized that if anyone was able to do this, the director of the Andy Warhol Museum would be able to do something like that, because Andy saw no discrepancy at all between art and business [emphasis added]. It was the same. That gave me enough confidence to move forward to do this sort of thing, and I really wanted to see what it would mean to do a creative section within the commercial environment.
The Brillo boxes [stacked at the entrance to the fair] are a very good example. We're giving those away for free, inside a commercial environment, which you wouldn't ordinarily expect. They're by a young artist named Charles Lutz, who did his own "Warhols."
We're giving 200 away a day. And we rebuild the pile, which is in the form of the Tower of Babel:
We have built a focus room so you can go inside. Liz [Magic Laser, the 2013 Armory-commissioned artist] conducted a series of focus groups as her project. We wanted people to be able to go in to watch this there as a performance unto itself—the ultimate enactment of the commercial artworld.
This statistical teeshirt is one of Liz's "limited edition artworks":
Shiner wasn't the only museum dignitary imparting his luster to this event. Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art (the beneficiary of the Armory Show's opening party), addressed the scribe tribe at the pre-preview press conference:
Other MoMA-ites roaming the piers included President Marie-Josée Kravis (decked out in a splended coat)…
…and President Emerita Agnes Gund (facing camera), chowing down with Lowry (on the right):
To get a sense of how I felt about some of the art that I randomly encountered as I trolled the aisles (including a couple of things that I wanted to take home with me), you'll have to consult my Mar. 6 @CultureGrrl Twitter feed. Twitter seemed to me the best journalistic genre for capturing how one flits among booths at this fleeting event.
Here's one sample tweet:
Maybe I ought to revisit this show, in a more buoyant mood now that my fabulous ophthalmologist, in cataract surgery yesterday, has miraculously restored my distance vision to the 20-20 (without glasses) of my teenage years. (Now if only he could do something similar for my physique!)

Syria: New Air, Missile Strikes Kill Civilians
Human Rights Watch
26 April 2013
New Syrian government air and missile strikes are causing high civilian casualties in opposition-controlled areas of Aleppo in violation of the laws of war, Human Rights Watch said today. A Human Rights Watch team in northern Aleppo province has investigated recent attacks that killed scores of civilians and destroyed dozens of civilian homes without damaging any apparent opposition military targets.
The information collected by Human Rights Watch shows that the Syrian government continues to use banned cluster bombs and indiscriminate methods of attack in populated areas, making the airstrikes unlawful. These attacks are serious violations of international humanitarian law and the laws of war. Those who order or carry out such violations with criminal intent – that is, deliberately or recklessly – are responsible for war crimes.
"In attack after attack in Aleppo it is only civilians and civilian homes that are hit by government airstrikes," said Anna Neistat, associate program and emergencies director at Human Rights Watch. "The Syrian Air Force knows very well that using cluster bombs and raining down missiles and bombs indiscriminately on urban areas violates the laws of war."(…)
The recent attacks documented by Human Rights Watch follow the same pattern as the 59 attacks described in a recent report, "Death from the Skies: Deliberate and Indiscriminate Air Strikes on Civilians." In its investigation of dozens of attacks in that report, Human Rights Watch concluded that Syrian forces used means and methods of warfare that under the circumstances could not distinguish between civilians and combatants, making attacks indiscriminate and therefore unlawful. Some attacks appeared to target civilians and civilian structures deliberately or did not target an apparent military objective. (…)
In all the new cases, witnesses told Human Rights Watch that the only people killed or injured by the strikes had been civilians, and that only civilian buildings had been hit. A casualty database compiled by the Violations Documentation Center (VDC), a Syrian monitoring group working in coordination with a network of Syrian opposition activists, also lists only civilians among the casualties.
The obligation to minimize harm to the civilian population applies to all parties to a conflict. The Free Syrian Army (FSA) and other Syrian armed opposition groups should take all feasible measures to avoid deploying forces and military structures such as bases or headquarters in or near densely populated areas. However, an attacking party is not relieved of the obligation to take into account the risk to civilians from an attack on the grounds that the defending party has located military targets within or near populated areas.
The attacks documented by Human Rights Watch represent a small fraction of the total number of air and missile strikes by government forces in the last month. According to VDC casualty lists, there were almost daily airstrikes, resulting in at least 355 civilian casualties from March 18 to April 22. The VDC does not compile separate statistics for missile strikes, but during a mission to Syria in February, Human Rights Watch documented four missile strikes that month that killed more than 140 civilians, approximately half of them children.
"Governments that claim to support human rights should make it clear that Syria's indiscriminate airstrikes on its own people need to end," Neistat said. "They must ensure that those responsible for these crimes are brought to justice and that means referring Syria to the International Criminal Court now." (…)

Though people here might be interested in this site. I found it through Life Long Wobbly.
Self-management notes is a project seeking to reclaim knowledge from the academic sphere developed to intensify workplace exploitation and pay workers less, and to invert it to empower the workforce's autonomy and drive to achieve better wages and conditions.
Read the pages on this website if you find yourself wondering why your manager thinks and acts the way they do, or if you're a worker or trade union representative in need of a guide to explain how your superiors are undermining your work in persuading other workers to join you in the fight for a fairer job and a better world.
This project is a preliminary series of notes collected across a wiki that can be read by anyone. Pages are occasionally edited and new ones added, so it is recommended to link to this website rather than post its content elsewhere. Additionally, all pages are copyrighted and posting the pages elsewhere is currently prohibited. This restriction may be lifted at some point in the future when the project has been completed.
The project adopts a defined method for dealing with the concepts and practices underlying contemporary management strategies. It talks of capital and labour, the two social forces present in the workplace. It has a coherent theory underlying it that borrows from the unique perspective offered by workers inquiry, a sociological tool developed most prominently in the short-lived Italian journal Quaderni Rossi.
Instead of leafleting questionnaires at the factory gates or directly investigating a workplace by taking a job in a specific industry, this project operates on a different level. Many of the theories and practices that guide the hand of management have, over the course of the 20th century, been compressed into a multi-disciplinary academic field termed Organisational Behaviour. This inquiry is conducted through research into literature from this field, merging investigatory readings with deconstructions informed by the perspective of the managed themselves, the workers. In other words, inquiry into the nature of management theory inverts the perspective of capitalist conceptualisation of the workplace to instead view it 'from below'. This is to give the notes greater explanatory power and to demystify the concepts involved.
On taking a concept and dismantling it to reveal its inner workings, a set of facts lay the basis for inquiry. These are:
'The modern working class, and not simply the one of today, want above all else two things: to work less and earn a lot.'[1]
'More: they want power to guarantee these two conquests from the ebb and flow to which they are subjected to by the unchallenged domination of the capitalist interest.'[1]
This power is expressed through varying and overlapping levels on the shop floor: informal organisation, formal organisation and union intervention.
Pushing to build power distributed across these levels, is the first step toward revitalising labour in the 21st century.
Examining and deconstructing management science allows for the construction of new tools that invert and weaponise it against capital: 'The weapons for proletarian revolts have always been taken from the bosses' arsenals'.[2]

The New York State Insurance Fund (NYSIF), a New York State agency established to provide a guaranteed source of workers' compensation insurance coverage, is celebrating its centennial anniversary this month.
NYSIF announced that July 1, 2014, marked the 100th anniversary of the Fund. NYSIF can trace its origins in the American workers' compensation movement to the Factory Investigation Commission of 1909 and the Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire of 1911 in which 146 workers died in New York City.
Both were defining events leading to the New York Workmen's Compensation Act of 1914. One of the first compulsory workers' compensation acts in the nation, the law created the State Insurance Fund.
NYSIF wrote its first policy on July 1, 1914, the day the law took effect. NYSIF's mandate, then as now, was to guarantee coverage for any employer seeking workers' comp insurance in New York and provide for the payment of benefits stemming from workplace injuries and fatalities for claimants or their survivors.
"For 100 years, NYSIF has supplied a market for entire industries unable to insure elsewhere, including asbestos abatement, roofing, window washers, scrap iron and steel companies, volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers," NYSIF Chairman Kenneth R. Theobalds said.
NYSIF has served as a stabilizing influence in the workers' comp market, guaranteeing coverage to help employers and workers avoid the hardships of on-the-job injury and illness. A competitive insurance carrier governed by a board of commissioners composed of private industry leaders appointed by the governor, NYSIF by law cannot deny coverage to any business with operations in New York that has the ability to pay for coverage.
NYSIF is the number one writer of workers' comp insurance in New York and the sixth largest in the nation, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. It annually insures one-third or more of the market, writing more than $2 billion in workers' comp premiums in 2013 alone. In 1950, NYSIF's line extended to disability benefits insurance for off-the-job injuries and illnesses with the passage of the New York State Disability Benefits Law.
"Since 1914, NYSIF has helped countless businesses control costs by offering the best value in workers' compensation and disability benefits in New York State," NYSIF Chairman Theobalds said.
NYSIF Executive Director Eric Madoff said: "NYSIF's core mission is the same as it was 100 years ago: to guarantee the availability of workers' compensation insurance at the lowest possible cost to any employer in New York, regardless of risk, while maintaining a solvent fund that provides timely and appropriate indemnity and medical payments to injured workers."
"Over the past century, NYSIF has sustained an unsurpassed record of service to the people of New York," NYSIF Executive Director Madoff said.
NYSIF by the numbers:
• Approximately 166,000 employers currently hold NYSIF workers' comp insurance policies, totaling $2.4 billion and constituting 40 percent of the New York market.
• NYSIF active disability benefits policies is at a record high of more than 62,000, representing nearly $17 million in deposit premium.
• In 2013, NYSIF retained approximately 88 percent of the workers' compensation policies that were in force on December 31, 2012.
• More than 79 percent of NYSIF's workers' comp policyholders have a premium less than $10,000.
• NYSIF Safety Group policyholders account for 29 percent of NYSIF's total workers' comp policies. (Safety Group plans are fully insured dividend participation plans that enable employers in the same industry to pool their premiums with the goal of curtailing injuries to reduce the final cost of workers' comp insurance.)
• In 2013, NYSIF's anti-fraud unit posted 83 arrests and $10.9 million in restitution and estimated savings.
• Currently, NYSIF is managing nearly 132,000 open workers' compensation claims.

Electricity and Internet Connectivity critical for Disaster Risk Reduction
Electricity and Internet connectivity are critical in the dissemination of early warnings in the case of natural disasters. Against this backdrop, the Sahana Foundation has been monitoring accessibility of critical servers in various countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In particular, it was found that accessibility of SAMBRO servers has been poor recently in both Myanmar and Maldives.
Also, Sahana's research showed that an ISP in Maldives has been victim of a cyber-attack and Myanmar is troubled with frequent power-failures. Various international organizations, such as ITU, have emphasized the importance of promoting cyber security, as well as securing critical infrastructure and emergency services.
The Sahana Foundation is currently working on a CAP on a Map project aimed at enhancing coastal resilience through multi-agency situational awareness in the Maldives, Myanmar and the Philippines. The project involves the deployment of SAMBRO in the respective countries and was made possible with a grant from the ESCAP Trust Fund for Tsunami, Disaster and Climate Preparedness.

Freestone Competition Awards
Wil Hahn Claims Ricky Carmichael Hard Charger Award at Freestone
James Stewart and Eli Tomac Capture Oakley Bomb Awards
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (May 31, 2012) – The annual Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, stop at Texas' Freestone Raceway is known for being one of the most mentally- and physically-challenging rounds of the entire championship. Despite that, GEICO Honda's Wil Hahn refused to let up in his quest for a strong showing in front of his hometown crowd to claim this week's Ricky Carmichael Hard Charger Award.
In the opening moto of the 250 Class, Hahn encountered misfortune out of the gate, relegating him to the 40th and final spot in the field at the conclusion of the opening lap. A native of nearby Decatur, Hahn began to go to work, picking off riders one-by-one. After working his way by 10 riders on Lap 2, Hahn continued to surge forward, eventually breaking into the top 15 on Lap 13, but he wasn't done yet. When the checkered flag flew on Lap 17, Hahn had passed an astonishing 28 riders to finish 12th in the moto. He followed up his impressive come-from-behind effort with a sixth-place finish in Moto 2, landing him eighth overall.
Hahn will be given the RC Hard Charger Award at the riders meeting prior to Saturday's Toyota Thunder Valley National.The Oakley Bomb Fastest Lap Program continued as well at Freestone, recognizing the 450 and 250 Class riders who lay down the quickest lap time of the day in timed practice. In the 450 Class, Team Yoshimura Suzuki's James Stewart claimed his second consecutive award, overcoming the initial fast lap set by Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey to post a time of 1:59.126 in the final session. The time gave Stewart nearly a two-second advantage over the field and the distinction of the being the only rider to break the two-minute barrier.

October 2008 New Products - What's New
Check out the new concept in axlehousing design from Trail Gear. This exclusive design features axletubes that have been offset above the housing centerline for better ground clearance. The axleshafts ride near the bottom of the axletubes rather than in the center. The results are a 3/8-inch increase in ground clearance under the axletubes. What's more important, however, is the fact that the axletubes are made from 1/4-inch-thick DOM tubing, which is much tougher than the OE design. The heavy-duty, press-formed, 1/4-inch-plate steel centersection ensures 3/4-inch additional clearance under the differential. The third-member mounting surface is made from 1/2-inch-plate steel to ensure studs can not pull out, even under heavy loads. The outer offset flanges are made from 4130 chromoly to prevent distortion or bending. The Rock-Assault axlehousings use stock or aftermarket '86-'95 Toyota Pickup/4Runner axleshafts. Optional fill/inspection cap and custom widths are also available.

BD's new Crank Case Vent (CCV) Filter Kit for Ford 6.0L and 7.3L Power Stroke applications reduces crankcase oil vapor that passes through the crankcase vent and contaminates the intake system. Oil vapor residue reduces turbocharger and intercooler efficiency, and also deteriorates the silicone boots-causing them to balloon and blow off. BD's Crank Case Vent Filter Kit prevents all of these issues, and collects oil vapor in a 1-quart container with drain petcock. The kit installs in just two hours and includes all hardware and clamps.

Correcting axlehousing alignment on the newest Jeep Wrangler models is easier now that JKS Manufacturing has released adjustable track bars for this popular application. The axlehousings are often forced out of alignment when a suspension lift is installed. This creates undue stress on related components and causes excessive wear and handling problems.
Adjustable track bars from JKS feature a variable length design, allowing the user to realign the axlehousing after ride-height alterations. Manufactured from high-strength 1.25-inch by x 0.156-inch DOM tubing, adjustable track bars are formed on a mandrel bender to OE specifications for proper geometry and clearance. Ultra high-quality rubber bushings are utilized at each end for noise isolation, comfort, and flexibility. The latest applications fit the front and rear of '07-and-up Jeep Wrangler JK models with up to 6 inches of suspension lift. The company also offers an extensive range of adjustable track bars for other Jeep models.

Solutions Labyrinth Puzzles
No fair peeking at solutions before trying the puzzles.
Since the beginning of documented civilization, labyrinths and spiral patterns have been built everywhere ancient indigenous people have lived and traveled. Modern labyrinths continue the tradition. Spiral and classic labyrinths also appear on the Internet in virtuality as well as in the physical world in churches, recreation areas, schools and some prison institutions.
These labyrinth images are a mixture of traditional labyrinth design examples based upon historic landmarks and whimsical designs of my own creation.
To make real life labyrinths, print your favorite design then mentally "walk" the labyrinth path with finger paints, color crayons or markers. Go outside in the sunlight and draw a chalk line labyrinth in the driveway. Make beautiful decorative landscape additions with stepping stone labyrinths embedded in the lawn.
In snow country, grab those snow shovels and shoes and dig or trample out a labyrinth design in the freshly fallen blanket of snow.
Get up early before the kids discover there's new snow to trample.

Unicursal Labyrinths
- Labyrinths are geometric unicursal patterns that define sacred space. There is only one entrance to a path marked with designated areas for meditative pauses that leads to a predetermined destination, usually the center of the design. Many people use labyrinths as a spiritual pilgrimage to a sacred mental place.
- Maze: are muticursal patterns which are more complex with several paths or branches and dead ends through which the solver must find a route to the destination.
Three Main Categories
There are three main categories for unicursal labyrinths:
- Roman - Classical or Cretan, four sectored symmetrical standard layout
- Church - Chartres or Medieval style
- (SAT) Simple Alternative Transitive - simple labyrinths
Labyrinths are structures with one winding path which leads from the entrance of the design to the center of the labyrinth then returns back to the entrance on the same path. Labyrinths frequently have designated stopping or resting points along the way for participants to engage in prayer or meditation.
How Labyrinths are Made and Used
Mazes and labyrinths are created with a variety of materials. Builders can cut into the ground to make turf Labyrinths completen with walls and rooms. Some mazes and labyrinth paths are constructed with mirrors, rocks, corn stalks, hay bales, books or with different colored paving stones, string, sticks or paving tiles such as bricks. Permanent labyrinth are usually created using concrete, marble or granite to resist erosion. Many stone labyrinths can be found in Lapland, Finland and Sweden.
Semi-permanent labyrinths may be built using flowers that bloom in the spring. Make a bird seed maze or labyrinth and watch the birds flitter as they enjoy the delicious treats. Foliage is often used to create paths. Dwarf shrubs and hedges of foliage can be planted in a labyrinth pattern and maintained by gardeners. Temporary or semi-permanent labyrinths can be drawn or painted on the outside walls of churches, frequently near the entrance ways.
Creative cloth labyrinths may be constructed by sewing fabrics and carpet materials together.
Corn stalk mazes are common in the fall when farmers clear their fields. Labyrinths and mazes created out of crops or otherwise temporary and seasonal materials are frequently promoted as seasonal tourist attractions. Two good examples of crop mazes are the Dole Plantation Pineapple maze in Hawaii, and the Carter County Fairgrounds Corn Maze in Kentucky.
Images in Scissorcraft of Labyrinths and mazes can be printed and traced with pencil, crayons or fingertips or used as a guide to creating simple designs drawn into soft sand, or drawn on sidewalks and driveways with chalk for kids to enjoy.
Some institutions use labyrinths and mazes:
- Peace - promote religious tolerance and peace and raise awareness about other religions, cultures, and communities
- Goddess - earliest labyrinths are through to have been used to worship the great goddesses
- Church - spiritual practices and activities and to build community and attract new members
- School - children play and dance on labyrinths as well as learn relaxation techniques
- Prison - provide calming relief from stress.
- Hospital - hospitals, health care facilities, spas and wellness centers use labyrinths for relaxation, support groups, and therapy treatments
- Tattoo - tattooes illustrated on skin
- Text - Christian designers in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries used word manuscript labyrinths to meditate and teach scripture
