Your sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body, emerging from the vertebra in your low back and descending through the buttocks and backs of your upper legs. Just above the knee, the nerve separates into branches, traveling all the way to the feet and toes.
The sciatic nerve can become impinged or entrapped anywhere along its path, but entrapment most commonly occurs near the spine itself, or at the site of the periformis muscle, located deep within the buttocks. Pain symptoms that occur anywhere along the sciatic nerve are referred to as sciatica.
Sciatica symptoms can range from a mild nuisance to an excruciating pain that cannot be ignored.
Common symptoms include:
Pain is usually felt on one side of the body, but it can affect both sides in some instances.
A number of things can initiate a bout of sciatica, including trauma, muscle strain while lifting heavy objects, and overuse from sports or exercise. Degenerative conditions of the spine related to aging can increase the risk of sciatica, as can being out of shape or overweight.
The most common underlying causes of sciatic nerve pain include:
Sciatica often resolves itself with rest and self-care. However, sometimes sciatica pain relief requires professional intervention.
Diagnosis of sciatica begins with a clinical exam. Your care provider may ask you to perform activities that may cause pain to worsen, like walking on your toes or heels, performing leg raises while lying down, or rising from a squat. An EMG may be ordered to measure impulses along the sciatic nerve.
At NYDNR, we use real-time diagnostic ultrasound to view the sciatic nerve along its entire pathway. Ultrasound imaging enables us to view the nerves and surrounding structures while the patient is in motion, making it a superior diagnostic tool to Xray or MRI. Quick and accurate imaging on-site at our clinic means we can begin treatment immediately, without having to outsource or wait for imaging results.
Traditional treatment approaches often focus on sciatica pain management, but fail to get to the source of pain and correct it. Muscle relaxants, pain medications, and steroid injections are common traditional treatments. Surgery is sometimes considered in severe cases.
At NYDNR, we take a holistic, non-invasive and drug-free approach to sciatic pain treatment. Our team of back pain experts understands the interconnectedness of the structures that affect the sciatic nerve.
Treatment approaches at NYDNR may include:
Depending on the location and nature of sciatica, certain exercises can help relieve pain. Sciatic nerve flossing exercises may help to release the nerve so it can glide more smoothly. Pelvic stability exercises can help relieve disc pressure on the nerve.
Sciatica Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic team uses a variety of treatments to help ease sciatica pain. Heat and cold, spinal manipulation and ultrasound may all be incorporated into a treatment plan.
At NYDNR, treatment for sciatica is individualized for each patient. We pride ourselves on accurate diagnosis and innovative treatment methods that go beyond pain relief to restoring full function, so you can get back to your active pain-free life.
Dr. Lev Kalika is clinical director of NYDNRehab, located in Manhattan. Lev Kalika is the author of multiple medical publications and research, and an international expert in the field of rehabilitative sonography, ultrasound guided dry needling and sports medicine Dr. Kalika works with athletes, runners, dancers and mainstream clients to relieve pain, rehabilitate injuries, enhance performance and minimize the risk of injuries. His clinic features some of the most technologically advanced equipment in the world, rarely found in a private clinic.
Sciatic nerve pain is characterized by sharp pain in the lower spinal region that may radiate into the gluteal muscle and continue down the leg, causing pain, numbness, tingling and weakness. It is caused by compression or entrapment of the sciatic nerve, which is one of the largest and longest nerves in your body. Roots of the sciatic nerve exit the spinal column from the vertebral junctions L-4/L-5 and L-5/S-1, where they conjoin and descend to innervate the muscles of your legs, feet and toes.
When unimpeded, the sciatic nerve glides freely as the body moves, providing a conduit for messages and sensory feedback, to and from the brain. Because of its location in the pelvic region, where the transfer of large force loads between the upper and lower body take place, the sciatic nerve may become compressed or entrapped from other structures, including muscles, tendons, bones and ligaments. It may also be injured from over-stretching, which may occur from sports or yoga.
Symptoms of sciatic nerve pain include:
Sciatica pain has several potential origins, including:
Irritation of the sacroilliac joint can mimic symptoms of sciatica, but it does not involve the sciatic nerve.
Diagnosis takes into account the patient's medical history, clinical profile and location of the symptoms. MRI may be prescribed to identify and confirm sciatica, but is not always reliable, and over reliance on MRI may result in treating the wrong cause of pain.
At NYDNR, we use diagnostic ultrasound to visualize the sciatic nerve, spinal discs, hips and pelvis, to identify the exact location and origin of sciatic nerve pain. We may also perform nerve conduction and electromyography tests, which are conducted in our office. Clinical experience is our most effective tool for diagnosing and treating sciatic nerve pain.
Most sciatic nerve pain can be resolved with conservative treatment. Treatment approaches for sciatic nerve pain largely depend on where the sciatic nerve is affected. Treatment should not only be directed at relieving pain and correcting structural damage, but at treating whatever dysfunction led to the structural damage in the first place.
At NYDNR, we provide individualized treatment based on the specific needs of each patient. A combination of treatment methods may be used, including:
Our goal is to relieve sciatic nerve pain and eliminate its source, to restore optimal function and improve physical performance.

early morning kettle does nothing to wake the rooster
black coffee will not keep the world at bay
the things one discovers at 4 a.m.
with nary a bird chirping
and no glint of light yet wrapping round horizons
you cannot beat autumn to the punch
she has you thick in her midst, in her mitts,
in the mist that hovers over still warm lakes at dawn
traces of summer stored like raw heat from the crumbles of relic flings
dug up like a dog's long buried bone at the whiff of familiar perfume
night will move quickly to seize day
another pawn surrendered in the chain gang chess of time
there is no stay of execution-
dead man walking is a clarion call, a kindly favor
a mantra worthy of consideration, of obsession…
you will be told a million times to show, not tell
you will be lectured on the finer ways of craft
in the end you will die your death as many in a day
and put the kettle on a million more
There will be time to bumble in the garden
pull a few weeds, lodge dirt under nails.
There will be simple assertions.
There will be moments of reflection in which
memory serves you more than the very breath you take in.
But you take it in anyway,
as if it mattered-
as if breath or memory or weeds or gardens
You take it in like the mangy cat at your doorstep
whose own beaten will to live is exemplified in clumps of matted fur.
You take it in like the spitball half life of some goddamn equation
you learned in sleepy-time high school physics but don't remember,
something about Oppenheimer and mushroom clouds and cockroaches.
You take it in like the entire bag of potato chips that devours you headfirst,
ravaging your diet, your determination, your own fucking name.
You take it in as if any of it mattered, as if it ALL mattered,
as if the earth itself hung precarious in the balance…
you will be told a million times to show, not tell
you will be lectured on the finer ways of craft
in the end you will die your death as many in a day
and put the kettle on a million more

Property and private client form the backbone of this small London outfit, which also has a niche art law practice.
Ye olde Boodle
Training principal Graham Winkley describes Boodle Hatfield as "a firm which has been in existence for centuries, serving a large number of long-standing clients as well as developing an exciting new roster of entrepreneurial and overseas investor clients." You're spot on Graham. The firm, best known for serving traditional estates and private clients, is currently on a mission to widen its client base. That includes doing more and more international work: the firm recently hired several partners focused on working for Middle Eastern private clients, plus specialists in other areas.
"A firm that has a focus on working with individuals."
Boodle also continues to advise the multibillion-pound Grosvenor Estate, which owns much of Mayfair and Belgravia. Chambers UK ranks Boodle for its private client, real estate, family, agricultural and art law work, while Chambers High Net Worth also recognises it for residential property and private wealth disputes. The firm has corporate and litigation practices too and serves businesses as well as private clients, but a typical Boodle trainee told us: "I wanted to work for a firm that has a focus on working with individuals and has personal relationships with long-standing clients rather than faceless corporations."
Boodlings also loved their "swish office building with lovely views across the Thames and South Bank." Spread over two floors, the office has a traditional layout with trainees sharing a glass office with their supervisor – "the more senior person sits by the window with a view," one trainee grinned. The firm also has a pied-à-terre in Mayfair for meeting private clients and an office in Oxford – trainees are able to venture to the university city for one of their four seats. The firm's small trainee intake results in a smooth NQ process, and in 2019 three out of four qualifiers were kept on.
Trainees gladly welcomed the compulsory contentious seat, since "both litigation and family are massive parts of the firm." Rookies are asked their seat preferences before they start their training contract and at mid-seat meetings with HR. It helps that "Boodle only has five major departments [private client, family, property, litigation and corporate], so trainees get to do a seat in almost all the firm's areas of expertise."
Guv'nor Grosvenor
Boodle's property department handles residential, commercial, estates, construction and finance matters. Trainees informed us of a change of structure within property – "rather than it being split into residential and commercial subgroups, the firm has bridged the gap to create a generalist seat, allowing trainees to experience a range of work." Sources found the level of responsibility "refreshing and liberating." Trainees are expected to run their own files, with supervision – "we draft lease reports, go on site visits, draft and agree constructions documents, and are on the phone to the Land Registry." Those doing residential property help with sale purchases, and advise on takeovers. Commercial property clients include Marriott International, the IBM Pensions Trust and wine merchant Berry Brothers & Rudd.
"The majority of the work in the estates seat is to do with the Grosvenor Estate."
We heard that "the majority of the work in the estates seat is to do with the Grosvenor Estate – working on new lease licences and lease enfranchisement claims." Acting mainly for one client sounds a bit homogeneous, but trainees welcomed the opportunity, saying that doing a generalist seat in property provides the appropriate skills necessary to succeed in an estates seat. Trainees here are also able to dip into work for the Bedford Estate, which owns a lot of Bloomsbury.
Private client and tax acts for wealthy individuals who "have a huge amount of money and have no idea what to do with it." The firm's practice covers trusts, wealth management and tax advice. This team also advises the Grosvenor and Bedford estates. Sources informed us of how interesting the matters are as you have the opportunity to research an individual's "thought process as to why they're making a particular decision." Day-to-day tasks include drafting wills, establishing and managing trusts, preparing disclosures and bundling – "trainees have the responsibility for pushing things forward."
The firm's corporate clients include property investors ASK Partners and Falco Capital, mattress maker Sleepeezee and trampoline park people GoJumpin. Trainees said they have to be more on the ball about technicalities in this seat as clients are more business-savvy here. Sources describe the team as "outgoing and having a real drive to make it, bring in new business and work with different types of businesses." As a trainee you might be told "hey, here are 17 documents that I want you to draft and get agreed with the other side – you've got a week to get it done." Interviewees told us they get exposure to working on shareholder agreements for family businesses, property joint ventures and art law matters for galleries, auction houses and collectors.
Sources noted that "corporate and litigation tend to have longer hours, but overall the hours are pretty consistent." Across seats trainees find themselves averaging 9.30am to 7pm each day, which they appreciated.
Boodle's doodles
The litigation department has three main strands: property litigation, commercial disputes and art litigation. Trainee tasks consist of debt recovery, running landlord and tenant disputes, and drafting letters to the other side. Interviewees enjoyed being given the autonomy to run their own files with "the right level of supervision." In one bigger piece of litigation, lawyers recently advised the Grosvenor Estate on a multimillion-pound dispute over the use of a party wall next to a Grosvenor-owned garden during a property redevelopment. The firm is known for its booming art litigation practice, which trainees can get stuck into. Lawyers recently advised street artist Stik on a copyright infringement case related to a public artwork in Hoxton Square and a dispute over a mural he'd painted in Gdańsk, in Poland, which turned up for sale cut to pieces in London. Trainees also mentioned art disputes over everything from commercial contracts to forged antiques.
Thinking about what it's like to work at Boodle, trainees praised the firm for its inclusivity and for supporting women in the workplace with good maternity policies and promotion of women up the ranks. The firm has a female senior partner, two-thirds of the management committee are women, and overall 45% of partners are women – "it's unheard of really!" exclaimed one source. Another said: "If you want to stay here long-term, the firm will support your family life and you won't have to choose one or the other." Trainees did agree that there is work to be done when it comes to the representation of minorities among its lawyers. Like all law firms, Boodle is lookng for top quality candidates, but sources were hopeful that graduate recruitment's decision to look beyond school results and the requirement to have been to a Russell Group university will prove a "refreshing approach to graduate recruitment and increase diversity."
"Wine and cheese nights are an excuse to finish on time on a Friday."
Interviewees also agreed that "the firm really puts an emphasis on making sure that the supervisors are the best they can be." Sources did notice a slight, but welcome, difference between teams, with increased supervision in private client, while those in property were able to take ownership of their own files. Overall trainees reported relaxed relationships – "I did my work with no pressure at all on how to perform tasks in a certain way," one said. Training is split between informal training from senior mentors and department-specific training sessions at lunchtime. "The lunch and learn sessions are super helpful, especially the property-specific ones," trainees told us.
Sometimes of course, you want lunch without the educational requirement (graze and laze?). "Wine and cheese nights are an excuse to finish on time on a Friday and head to the communal area to mingle," one source shared. Litigation has the reputation for being the "fun department," whereas private client is more serious. Giving an example of the firm's more 'fun' side, one source mentioned a partner's birthday celebrations which consisted of a surprise meal and "everyone wearing T-shirts with his face printed on them." The firm also hosts an annual charity event which ranges from abseiling to the much-anticipated 'Boodle's Got Talent'.
Each trainee gets a buddy from the year above to answer questions and help them settle in.
How to get a Boodle Hatfield training contract
Vacation scheme deadline (2020): 31 January 2020 (opens 1 November 2019)
Training contract deadline (2022): 30 June 2020 (opens 1 November 2019)
Application and assessment
Boodle receives around 350 to 450 applications a year for its vacation scheme and training contract combined. Both direct training contract and vacation scheme applications begin with an online form. Once it's submitted, applicants can add updates until the submission deadline – for example, further work experience placements or exam results.
Vac scheme applicants face a Skype interview with HR to land a spot. Once on the scheme, they have another two interviews for the training contract: one with HR and another with a pair of partners. These take place on the same day, either during or after their placement, and there is a verbal reasoning assessment involved. Direct training contract applicants also face these latter interviews and test during an Assessment Day.
How to wow
When it comes to selecting future trainees, "academics are very important," HR director Katie Kirkhope tells us, "particularly as a solicitor progresses and becomes more senior. The work we do is complicated, and clients expect the highest quality." This is a point that is echoed by Training Principal Graham Winkley, when asked what sort of person would thrive at Boodle Hatfield in a recent interview he commented those with "academic ability and the intelligence to process some complicated issues that will come across their desk." Indeed, the firm maintains relationships with some long-established clients, so a potential Boodelian also needs "good interpersonal skills to gain the confidence of clients," we're told. "Trainees in the property seat in particular run a lot of their own files with the appropriate supervision and support, and they've got to be able to ring up a client or the other side, and be confident in what they're doing."
Winkley goes on to say: "The key thing as a trainee from day one is the way you connect with clients… What we are looking for is a person who can articulate complex ideas and an opinion in a user-friendly manner for their client."
Graduate recruiter Jenny Sanghera says "The interview process at Boodle Hatfield is as much for the candidate who is deciding whether Boodle Hatfield is right for them as it is for us. Our interviewers want to have a good conversation during the interview and are always keen to find out why the individual wants to train at Boodle Hatfield, but it isn't just this they are looking for, as they are also interested in getting to know the person as an individual. Questions aren't designed to catch candidates out but do be prepared to have a sensible discussion on a question or point rather than giving a pre-prepared answer, also be prepared to talk about anything you put on your application form. Kirkhope also recommends "do your research, know the firm you're coming to, and understand the types of work it does." At the same time, she reminds us, "you can't be someone who's afraid to seek guidance, advice or clarification when necessary. Additionally, we are looking for our candidates to demonstrate both an interest in and ability to build both their personal and professional networks. This is an important attribute for trainees to develop and carry through their careers."
Vacation scheme
The firm usually offers six spots on its fortnight-long vac scheme. During their placement vac schemers visit two departments, though those keen to sample another one can request to spend an afternoon shadowing a lawyer there. "We aim to give them exposure to as much work as possible," says Kirkhope. "We want to bring vac schemers into the day-to-day life of a lawyer here. Joining a law firm is a big decision, and we want to find people who'll join and stay for a long time."
Social outings like treasure hunts and table tennis or crazy golf excursions dot the calendar during the vac scheme. There's also a development session on presentation delivery and a debate to participate in during the scheme.

Firm profile
Boodle Hatfield is a highly successful law firm which has been providing bespoke legal services to leading families, businesses and entrepreneurs for nearly 300 years. They still act for some of their very first clients and are proud to do so. The firm has grown into a substantial practice, serving the full spectrum of commercial and private clients, both domestically and internationally from their offices in London and Oxford.
Main areas of work
The ethos of facilitating private capital activity and private businesses underpins the work of the whole firm. The interplay of skills between five major areas — private wealth, property, corporate, litigation and family — makes Boodle Hatfield particularly well placed to serve these individuals and businesses.
Training opportunities
Trainees spend six months in up to four of the firm's main areas: private client and tax, property, corporate, litigation and family. Boodle Hatfield is well known for the high quality of its training.
All trainees are involved in client work from the start and are encouraged to handle their own files personally as soon as they are able to do so, (with the appropriate supervision). The firm's trainees therefore have a greater degree of client contact than in many firms with the result that they should be able to take on more responsibility at an early stage with the appropriate level of supervision.
Trainees are assigned a supervisor in each seat and are given formal appraisals every three months which are designed as a two-way process and give trainees the chance to discuss their progress and to indicate where more can be done to help in their ongoing training and development.
Vacation Scheme
Two week placement in July, for which six students are accepted each year.
Applicants should apply via the application form on the website at www.boodlehatfeld.com. The form will be available from 1st November 2019.

In modern crime slang, a hooker is "a prostitute." But in Shakespeare's day, according to Bill Bryson in "Shakespeare: The World as Stage," a hooker was one who snatched desirables through open windows with hooks.
Some other members of the Shakespearean underworld were "coney catchers, or swindlers (a coney was a rabbit reared for the table and thus unsuspectingly tame)," foists (pickpockets), and abtams ("who feigned lunacy to provide a distraction").
The sports page informs us that "His name was tossed out early last year as a possible candidate at Arkansas, but that dried up faster than an Arizona campfire."
A reader says, "I didn't know campfires dried up. I thought they burned out." She suggests the sports department may hold the key to fighting those awful wildfires out west.
"A shell-shocked black family stands in the aftermath of the Great 1937 Flood in Joseph Vorst's After the Flood."
Michael Klossner writes: "I don't like the use of 'shell-shocked' for 'shocked' or 'stunned' when no shells are involved. It's inaccurate. Why use it."
Why, indeed. Incidentally, I didn't see the original copy here, but I suspect that that family was shocked by the Great Flood of 1927, not '37. The '27 flood was the one that devastated the states on the Mississippi River, including Arkansas.
Shell shock was World War I slang for "battle fatigue." Paul Dickson's "War Slang" notes that "When famed British war poet Siegfried Sassoon died in 1967 at age eighty-one, obituaries noted that he had been honored for his bravery in combat but — after throwing his Military Cross into a river — had been sent to a sanatorium for victims of shell shock."
Big Bertha could cause shell shock. Big Bertha was First War slang for a siege gun used by the German army to shell Paris. Quoting Dickson again:
"It was a mammoth rifle-cannon with which the Germans shelled the city from a distance of up to nine miles. … The name alludes to Bertha Antoinette Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, at whose factory the gun was manufactured. She was the sole heir to the Krupp armaments empire."

Rachel Halloran (wife)
Sean Halloran is a New York Senator who came under fire from the public that he was hiding a homosexual scandal.
23 years ago at Whisleton Prepatory Academy, Sam Burke returned home and opened the door to his dorm room to find his roommate, Sean Halloran, sleeping with his roommate Peter Draven.[1]
Later, Sam Burke was playing video games with friends at a local arcade when he spotted his bike being stolen. He rushed outside to stop the man. He found Seamus Halloran, Sean's father, waiting for him. He welcomed him into his vehicle and offered Sam $10,000 for his discretion in not speaking to anyone about his son's homosexuality. [2]
Sam Burke returned to his dorm room. Peter Draven left as they had an awkward exchange of not talking about the homosexual discovery and the payoff offer from Seamus. Sam stared at his money and wondered what to do with it.[3]
In the present, Sean Halloran was leaving the hospital with his wife and newborn child. He was accosted by the media who begged questions of the recent allegations that he was a homosexual. As a candidate for president of the United States of America, he denied the allegations and ushered his new family into the car.[4]
Over the next few days, Sean was berated by his wife for not acting like a man and always giving way to his father's ways.[2] When news broke that his security guard was killed, he made a press statement promising full cooperation into the investigation.[5]
The next day, Sean was suddenly attacked by his old lover, Peter Draven in his home. When his father disabled Peter and ordered Sean to shoot him, Sean stalled. He was continually pushed and began to realize that his past lovers were recently murdered by his father's orders. When his father called him a faggot he turned the gun and fired on his father. He held his father as he bleed out.
Later, Pete headed to a park to meet Sam. Pete dumped the body of his cremated boyfriend, Rob, into the river. Sam joked he promises not to report him for illegally dumping remains in public.[6]

SAN DIEGO — Students may have been exposed to tuberculosis at a middle school in the South Bay, officials said Wednesday.
The possible exposure was reported at Mar Vista Academy, in the Sweetwater Union High School District on Thermal Avenue just east of Imperial Beach. Students may have been exposed some time between Feb. 10 and May 3.
San Diego County Health and Human Services will provide free testing on May 28 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the school.
The county says about one-third of close contacts with a TB case lead to infection without symptoms, putting them at risk to develop the disease.
"Symptoms of active TB include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and unexplained weight loss," said Dr. Wilma Wooten, a county public health officer. "If you have symptoms of TB or a problem with your immune system, you should discuss TB with your medical provider and be evaluated."
For more information, call Mar Vista Academy at 619-628-5108 or the county's TB control program at 619-692-8621.

Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
The motto of IIT Kharagpur is "Yogah Karmasu Kaushalam". This literally translates to "Excellence in action is Yoga", essentially implying that doing your work well is (true) yoga. This can be traced to Sri Krishna's discourse with Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. The quote, in the larger context of the Gita, urges man to acquire equanimity because a mind of equanimity allows a man to shed distracting thoughts of the effects of his deeds and concentrate on the task before him. Equanimity is the source of perfection in Karmic endeavours that leads to Salvation.The present name 'Indian Institute of Technology' was adopted before the formal inauguration of the Institute on August 18, 1951, by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. IIT Kharagpur started its journey in the old Hijli Detention Camp where some of our great freedom fighters toiled and sacrificed their lives for the independence of our country. The history of IIT Kharagpur is thus intimately linked with the history of the Hijli Detention Camp. This is possibly one of the very few Institutions all over the world which started life in a prison house.

Terelle Jerricks, Managing Editor
Councilman Joe Buscaino's botched attempt to open a navigation center is still fresh in the minds of many in San Pedro. That initiative was intended to provide mobile showers, homeless parking lots and storage facilities for the belongings of people experiencing homelessness.
The navigation centers were also to become places where case-managers could more easily provide services that would eventually provide these folks permanent housing. Lack of transparency and outreach ended Buscaino's effort in the Los Angeles Harbor Area. But he also wasn't the only council member to fail to get the navigation centers up and running.
After the city and the county of Los Angeles threw hundreds of millions of dollars at what city leaders called, "the greatest moral and humanitarian crisis of our time," they and the rest of the Southland realized that the fix to this crisis won't be seen until 10 to 15 years down the line.
In response, Mayor Eric Garcetti rolled out this past April an Emergency Temporary Housing initiative during his state of the city address known as: "A Bridge Home. "It was here that the mayor declared put up $20 million and challenged the city council members to find space in each of their districts to place emergency shelters.
The mayor's office noted in a frequently asked questions sheet, "that homelessness touches every part of Los Angeles and that if we're going to end homelessness, we need to create solutions in every community." Angelenos overwhelmingly passed Measure H and Measure HHH, but money isn't the only thing that is needed to deal with this crisis. Angelenos will have to sacrifice a bit of comfort and their long-held but often false beliefs about homelessness and the homeless.
To this end, the eight neighborhood councils within the City Council District 15 launched the Bridge Home Working Group to work with the Los Angeles Harbor Area stakeholders Councilman Buscaino's office and the mayor's office in locating possible shelter locations in the 15th Council District. Random Lengths News reached out Amber Sheikh-Ginsberg and Karen Ceaser, both longtime homeless advocates and supporters of Bridge Home. They respond to commonly held but false beliefs about homelessness and how the A Bridge Home program will affect our communities.
- Most of the homeless are from out of town.
Amber Sheikh-Ginsberg: We have heard repeatedly from LAPD as well as local service providers that at least 70 percent of the homeless individuals living locally are from here, work here, or have families here. Karen Ceaser agreed, saying that statistics done by many outreach agencies find that the majority of homeless live within a 5-mile radius of where they've lived, when housed (born or reared).
- The reason why the homeless are so visible is because the city refuses to crackdown on sidewalk camping and quality of life issues.
ASG: The reason why the homeless are so visible is because there are many of them and not enough housing units or shelter beds for them. Simple math.
- The homeless are homeless because of poor choices they've made.
ASG: When I worked in homeless services, the client stories I heard usually involved a compounding set of life events that brought them to the situation they were in. Most struggled against it with all their might. We've all made poor choices in our lives, but if you understand the level of trauma, instability and danger —especially for women experiencing life on the streets — you would see that this is truly their last option and not a desirable choice.
- Ticketing and jailing on quality of life issues is the more appropriate way to deal with homelessness.
ASG: Sure, but those are also far more expensive from a economical standpoint. If you look at the numbers, incarcerating individuals is far more expensive than housing and supporting them.
- There's an abundance of social service programs for the homeless to lift themselves out poverty. They just don't want to make the effort.
ASG: Sure, there are services. Some great ones. But, until a person finds a home, they are homeless. We do not have enough shelter beds and/or supportive housing units in Los Angeles to house our homeless.
Ceaser concurred with Ginsberg's assessment, explaining that outreach workers from various agencies i.e. Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the Department of Mental Health, Harbor Interfaith Services have made and continue to follow up with the majority of the homeless. Most have been interviewed and their information has been entered into the Coordinated Entry System. The system shows their needs and categorizes them based on age, medical or mental needs, length of time homeless, etc. Most homeless, once interviewed, do make every effort to follow through with outreach worker(s) assigned to them. The process for housing, as the end result can take up to one year. Once a person is approved for housing the real difficulty starts. Sec. 8 and/or permanent supportive housing is extremely limited.
- Providing any sort of service or temporary shelter only enables homeless people's bad behavior and unwillingness to work.
ASG: "Bad behavior" will not be allowed at these sites. Those that are found to posses or sell drugs, engage in solicitation, or commit other crimes will be evicted.
Ceaser noted that many of the homeless want to work, but how do you interview for any job when you haven't had access to a shower? Statistics show that services provided to homeless help them gain back self-esteem, dignity, and especially in the case of "bad behavior," can help them significantly improve their behavior. Substance abuse and/or mental health treatment is usually a part of an outreach workers' or case managers' job.
- In addressing the homeless coping with mental health issues, government effort would be better spent in reopening state institutions.
ASG: Institutionalizing individuals facing mental illness is not a solution. It is a dangerous — and costly — bandaid. We are trying to look at sustainable solutions that will alleviate the burden on our current economy — and future economies. Institutionalization and incarceration are solutions that simply shift the compounding burdens on generations to come. It's like we have stumbled across an epidemic, know the cure, and refuse to implement it because we're scared. We know it works.
- Any solution that involves sheltering the homeless, means the building of a permanent magnet for the homeless.
ASG: Once we shelter the homeless, they will no longer be homeless. They will be residents.
- Most of the homeless living out of their cars are addicts of some sort and running prostitution rings.
ASG: The homeless count data does not indicate that most homeless are addicts. That number is 11 to 15 percent.
- Tax monies going towards helping the homeless would be better spent beautifying San Pedro.
ASG: As a resident, and mother of two little ones, I would love us to spend tax money on beautifying our city (and enhancing our schools), but I cannot see our city moving forward while we have hundreds sleeping on the streets each night. It's … out of touch with reality to think that we can ignore this issue, move people elsewhere, or solve this any other way. Yes, housing costs money, but cycling people in and out of emergency rooms, jails and streets costs much, much more and doesn't solve anything.
- Addressing the mental health crisis of the homeless population should be a priority in addressing the homeless crisis.
ASG: Yes! We must address the issues that cause some people to become homeless, by providing housing and support services, we can help stabilize individuals, enabling them to get and stay on a healing path. Ceaser notes that mental health crisis continues to be prevalent in the homeless population. The Department of Mental Health works daily with homeless people struggling with mental illness. Until laws are changed, it is difficult to sometimes get an individual the help they desperately need. It must be a voluntary choice by the individual. The County of LA Supervisors are working diligently to address these issues.
- The homeless aren't one of us. The taxpaying residents and their families should take priority over anyone else.
ASG: They are part of our communities. Individuals facing homelessness were likely once tax paying citizens, and with the help of the right social supports, programs and housing, will once again contribute to our community in very meaningful ways.
- Buscaino's promises of 24/7 cleanup cannot to be trusted.
ASG: Twenty-four/seven cleanups do not work! People are uprooted from place to place, causing horrible outcomes. The majority of the cleanups involve all of people's possessions, including tents, blankets, important paperwork loaded in the back of a sanitation truck and destroyed or discarded. Very rarely are the homeless in the Harbor Area given a receipt for items that will be stored.

A second caravan of Central American migrants has formed, crossing the border from Honduras into Guatemala on Sunday and on to the town of Chiquimula on Monday night, according to Fox News.
The group is following the first caravan which has been estimated at over 7,000 people by the UN, while Mexican newspaper El Universal says it has swelled to around 14,000.
Both caravans have are currently headed north and have been met with minimal resistance from government authorities.
Footage captured by a Fox News crew traveling with the caravan showed trucks handing out food, water and toilet paper to the migrants.
"My dream is get to the border if we could. If we can't we are going to have to cross the river some way, some how," a Honduran migrant who identified himself as Edwin told Fox News. As he spoke, a truck with people hanging onto the doors and sides passed behind him.
Another of the lead caravan's members who had previously lived in the U.S., 36-year-old Job Reyes told the Washington Post he's going back because America is "a country where I can live my life, unlike Guatemala."
Reyes said he grew up in Los Angeles and returned to Guatemala 14 years ago after his visa expired. But now, with the caravan hoping to get across the U.S. border – a move President Trump has threatened to block with the military – Reyes saw an opportunity. -Fox News
"When I heard about the caravan, I knew it was my chance," Reyes told Fox.
President Trump, meanwhile, is preparing to deploy the US military to stop the caravan - claiming in a series of Monday tweets that he has "alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy [sic]"
Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2018
On Monday night, Trump suggested that the Democrats had "something to do with" the caravan - while making gestures suggesting payments.

Full video here: https://t.co/Rd9XUcaaML pic.twitter.com/JTQLDsvybj
Vice President Mike Pence, meanwhile, told the Washington Post that there are most certainly people of Middle Eastern descent in the crowd, while Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández told him that the migrant caravan was "financed by Venezuela," according to Breitbart's Joshua Caplan.
"It's inconceivable that there are not people of Middle Eastern descent in a crowd of more than 7,000 people advancing toward our border," Pence said. "In the last fiscal year, we apprehended more than 10 terrorists or suspected terrorists at our southern border from countries referred to in the lexicon as 'other than Mexico' — that means from the Middle East region."
The Vice President then revealed that Hernández told him that "leftist groups" from the Central American country organized the caravan, "financed by Venezuela" to "challenge our sovereignty, challenge our border." -Breitbart
A political gift?
Former Trump campaign adviser Barry Bennett told the Washington Post that the caravan was a "political gift" for the GOP right before midterms.
"I wish they were carrying heroin. I wish we had thought of it. It speaks to the dearth of our creativity, unfortunately," said Bennett, adding "There are 7,000 people marching toward the U.S. border. One party wants to let them in. The other party wants to keep them out."
According to an October 15 Pew Research poll, 75% of Republican voters consider illegal immigration a "very big" problem, while only 19% of Democrats consider it a top concern.

Why do we stress so much about Christmas? A recent study of people in 11 European countries suggests that for many the Christmas period is associated with a reduction in life satisfaction and emotional well-being.
Interestingly, the study found that this association is not the case for Christians with a high degree of religiosity[1].
Overall, it found that the Christmas period is often associated with:
- Increased stress
- Financial strain
- Misuse of alcohol and drugs
- Increase in self-harm
- Change in sleeping habits
- Reduction of exercise
I can certainly back up these findings anecdotally as I come across many people who, by the end of the first week in November, have already had their first Christmas party, already feel stressed and are already fighting with family members about the Christmas lunch.
On a more sobering note, some statistics suggest that the number of deaths per day increases by 22% in the week approaching Christmas.
So What Makes Christmas Merry?
Another study[2] examined what make Christmas a happy occasion for people. The advice is that if your spiritual experiences enhance your personal wellbeing and you can spend time with your family where it is a positive experience, you are more likely to enjoy the Christmas period.
It looks like all the cash we spend on buying things and wrapping them up actually doesn?t contribute to our personal happiness. Present giving during Christmas time has become an important tradition and has a place in maintaining social connections. Unfortunately, so much pressure is placed on ensuring that our affection is communicated accurately via the gifts we buy.
Some fun facts from that study on Christmas time happiness:
- Men seem to be having a cheerier time during Christmas break
- Older people seem to be having more fun or report happier times
- People who spend for Christmas in an environmentally friendly way seem to be more satisfied (thus minimising negative effects during the Christmas break) and feel happier.
So how are you doing?
Here are our top tips for you this Christmas:
- Reduce shopping and overspending
- Take time off
- Monitor your alcohol consumption
- Continue with your fitness routine
- Spend time with people who make you feel good

The Loop as seen from the El
(Please read our Covid 19 Statement first - Ed) Previously, the hotel didn't want to honor our breakfast deal, it snowed during Spring Break, and Frank Lloyd Wright designed some amazing buildings...
Tuesday morning: ah, the luxury of a big, freshly cooked breakfast in the lobby of our own hotel. Delicious! No, really, it was...
Since the game is so sparsely attended, we kinda feel like we're in Siberia by ourselves up at the top. The windy cold makes it physically feel like Siberia. Think I'm exaggerating? Here's the hard facts: ambient temperature is 26 degrees. Wind chill factor is 16 degrees.
After making several trips to the snack bar for coffee (forget the beer today!) and buying expensive souvenir blankets at the gift shop, we soldier on for four innings before Tim finally admits it's just too darn cold and we retire back to the hotel for some much needed warmth.
That evening, we take our dinner at the Frontera Grill, a trendy little Mexican restaurant run by Rick Bayless who has a cooking show on PBS. It is very good but be prepared to wait. There are no reservations and the line was 2 hours long when we left.
We spent the rest of the evening in the hotel just sitting in our warm rooms watching tv. The next morning, it's off to our lakefront day.
We can see the Field Museum from our window so we decide to walk. It's a lot farther than it looks. Here, we come to see Sue the T-Rex. Sue is the largest and most complete T-Rex skeleton ever found.
The front of the museum is not accessible. The signs point to a side entrance next to the loading dock. Inside, we find that the basic admission, usually $8, is free this week....I'm imagining because it's spring break and all the kids need somewhere to go.
That sounds good in theory, but in practice it makes for an extremely crowded museum.
After waiting in line for about an hour we get to see some mummies. Tim has the worst of it because no one sees him in the chair and he literally has to fight his way in for a view. After that, we wait while three loads of able-bodied adults decide that the adjacent escalator is too much work, clog up the entrance to the elevators. Upstairs, we see Sue, take some pictures, and head back to the exit.
I guess it's the nature of this type of museum, but there was a strong smell of formaldehyde here. Add to that the over-powering aroma of the on site McDonald's and you'll know why I had to get out of there before I hurled!
A quick stop to Soldier Field (Tim has a goal to see every professional sports stadium in the country) for photos and it's off to the Navy Pier.
No train comes close to the Navy Pier so we take a bus that deposits us a few blocks away and walk the remaining distance.
Navy Pier is one of those tourist meccas with lots of shops and a few attractions. To me, it seemed like Chicago's version of Universal Studio's Citywalk or Downtown Disney. It was fun but not exceedingly so.
The Interior of Gino's East
Next, it was off for some Chicago pizza. We head over to the River North area and dine at Gino's East, a graffiti-leaden pizza joint that's a Chicago landmark. It did look very touristy and was in a neighborhood littered with the likes of Hard Rock Café, Rainforest Café, and Michael Jordan's. Even so, I was very impressed with this place. The pizza was just superb. Very cheesy, covered with tomato sauce and surrounded with a thick rim of a crust. Among the very best that we've had.
Thursday is spent back in Oak Park browsing through the shops there and then one more stop at Fast Track for some more of their delicious dogs. It's sunny today and in the 50's so we eat outside on the patio.
Tim Enjoys the view at
Comiskey U.S. Cellular Park. Directly
behind him at the rail is the wheelchair seating area.
After lunch, we take the red line again, only south this time to
On the way back, I see a stunning view out the front of the El train of the Loop and snap a picture. Then I was informed that this is illegal. What the...? Are there state secrets here? Anyway, like I said I snapped the picture first, so enjoy the forbidden fruits at the top of this report.
The next morning, at checkout, I am told their will be no consideration for our two missed breakfasts. How did I know this would happen? The manager who told me is nowhere to be found, in fact, they even charged me five dollars for the 800 number call to my travel agent to straighten it out. Nice to leave Chicago with the steam coming out of your ears.
We go to Midway Airport to catch our flight. Being that we have two hours till flight time, we explore a little bit and find out just how miserable this airport is. We tell the gate agents we're there so they can have plenty of time to arrange for someone to take Tim on board the plane and to stow his chair. Of course, you know where this is going...
Boarding time comes and no one is to be found to help. We end up waiting until AFTER everyone else is on board before someone finally shows up. Much finger pointing ensues between the airline people and the airport people. Finally, someone takes Tim on board but I am still stuck outside waiting for someone to gate check his chair. I inform them that I will not board the plane until I physically see someone put a tag on his chair and put it on the plane.
About 10 minutes later, I'm on board but we wait another hour because the caterers did not bring enough soda for the plane (ATA does not serve meals so I don't know why this was such a big deal). Finally, we take off and head for home.
What did we like about Chicago? Great shopping...I mean great. Fantastic sports town with outstanding food. Historic and original architecture and Frank Lloyd Wright.. Good transportation.
What didn't we like? Can get very, very cold. A lot of rules that sometimes don't make sense. The hotel management doesn't win any awards with me but next time, it'll be somewhere else.
Although not noted on any CTA maps (at the time, maybe they are now - Ed), the Red Line stop adjacent to Comiskey Park is accessible.
Each CTA station has a chalkboard next to the attendant booth listing all station elevators on the system that are not working, check it before being surprised at your destination.
As alluded to in the report,
Distances within the loop are generally pretty short. Don't worry if where you want to go is 3 stops away from an accessible El station. It's a pretty short walk.

since m made dinner, my contribution to the meal was dessert. since i am using a cakemix, i decided to make homemade frosting. now, i'm not a fan of icing because it tastes too much like eating sugar but what i do love is buttercream frosting!
most buttercream recipes were packed with butter and eggs. so i was pleasantly surprised to find THE most basic recipe for buttercream by cake decorator, colette peters — AND — that the recipe even offers an alternative to using margarine. most chefs refuse to acknowledge the word!
anyhoo, this buttercream was yummy – just too sweet for my taste. i believe the recipe was for buttercream icing with 2 pounds of confectioners sugar but if you like buttercream frosting – like me, use just 1 pound of sugar. i can't wait to try this recipe again … but next time i'll use less sugar and maybe i'll add a different flavor!
- 1 cup unsalted butter or margarine, room temperature (use vegetable shortening when pure white icing is needed)
- 1/2 cup milk, room temperature
- a pinch of sea salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla or other desired flavoring
- 1 pound confectioners' sugar
Combine all the ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix at slow speed until smooth. If stiffer icing is needed, or if the weather is very warm, add a little extra sugar. This recipe is enough to cover and fill a 9 by 13-inch sheet cake or 2 (9-inch) layers.

Aussie coroner agrees dingo took baby in 1980 case
CANBERRA, Australia — The dingo really did take the baby.
Thirty-two years after a 9-week-old infant vanished from an Outback campsite in a case that bitterly divided Australians and inspired a Meryl Streep film, the nation overwhelmingly welcomed a ruling that finally closed the mystery.
A coroner in the northern city of Darwin concluded Tuesday that a dingo, or wild dog, had taken Azaria Chamberlain from her parents' tent near Ayers Rock, the red monolith in the Australian desert now known by its Aboriginal name Uluru.
That is what her parents, Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton and Michael Chamberlain, had maintained from the beginning.
The eyes of the parents welled with tears as the findings of the fourth inquest into their daughter's disappearance were announced, watched by people around Australia on live television.
"We're relieved and delighted to come to the end of this saga," a tearful but smiling Chamberlain-Creighton, since divorced and remarried, told reporters outside the court.
The first inquest in 1981 had also blamed a dingo.
But a second inquest a year later charged Chamberlain-Creighton with murder and her husband with being an accessory after the fact.
She was convicted and served more than three years in prison before that decision was overturned.
A third inquest in 1995 left the cause of death open.
"The dingo has done it. I'm absolutely thrilled to bits," said Yvonne Cain, one of the 12 jurors in the 1982 trial that convicted a then-pregnant Chamberlain-Creighton of murder.
"I'd always had my doubts and have become certain she's innocent."
Cain said she still encounters people who doubt the couple's innocence, but they inevitably misunderstand what evidence there was against them.
"When people say she's guilty, I say: 'You have no idea what they're talking about — I was there,'" she said.
The case became famous internationally through the 1988 movie "A Cry in the Dark," in which Streep played the mother.
Many Australians initially did not believe that a dingo was strong enough to take away the baby, whose body has never been recovered.
Public opinion swayed harshly against the couple; some even spat on Chamberlain-Creighton and howled like dingoes outside her house.
No similar dingo attacks had been documented at the time, but in recent years the wild dogs native to Australia have been blamed for three fatal attacks on children.
Few doubt the couple's story today, but the latest inquest — which the family had fought to get — made it official that Azaria was killed in a dingo attack.
An expert on dingo behavior, Brad Purcell, said he was not surprised that a dingo would enter a tent and take a baby while older siblings slept.
Purcell suspects that many people blamed Chamberlain-Creighton for leaving the baby in a tent where a dingo could have been attracted by her crying.
"She was almost being condemned because she wasn't acting as a responsible parent," Purcell told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
But not all Australians accept the latest ruling.
A policeman who was at Uluru the night Azaria disappeared said he still believes the first coroner's finding that there was some human intervention.
Frank Morris, who has since retired from the police force, said while he was not trying to blame the parents, he thought someone played a part in moving clothing Azaria wore that night.
"We don't know who. That is the $64,000 question," Morris said.
"If you go to court enough times, you are bound to get a win sooner or later," Morris added of the parents' victory Tuesday.
Coroner Elizabeth Morris said she was "satisfied that the evidence is sufficiently adequate, clear, cogent and exact and that the evidence excludes all other reasonable possibilities."

Coach and author Naomi Richards offers some lesson ideas to help prepare our year 6 pupils for their move to secondary school this September By the middle of year 6 children are ready to make the move up to secondary school. Having just completed their SATs and now knowing what school they are going to and who they are going with they become restless and eager for the next stage of their life. Their behaviour in the classroom in terms of attention span seems to dwindle and they are not so interested in learning anymore. They just want to make the jump and have a great summer becoming more independent before September arrives. Not everyone will feel confident Many of the children will feel ready and will act as if they are. They will feel confident and want the freedom they are going to have. Other children may feel more fearful of what secondary school is going to be like and worry about being a small fish in a big pond. How are they going to cope with so many other children around and much older children too? There will be lots of worries for the children who get anxious and also those who do not see change as a good thing. Whatever the worry the children have, it is up to primary schools and their year 6 teachers to help them feel strong and ready for year 7. So how can we prepare them for it? The worries can be addressed in one lesson or across several. A suggested lesson plan would be as follows.Lesson planIntroduce the subject of transition and change. Discuss the benefits of moving schools with people they know or going to one where they know no-one. Share with the children the opportunities they are going to have and ask them about the things to look forward to.Start a conversation about feelings and explain that not everyone will feel the same. Some children will feel anxious. Ask the children to think of things they or other children may worry about, get them to write them down. Collate the worries into groups such as "organisation, homework, friendships" and so on and then break them down further. For example, organisation – this could be worrying about not being organised and forgetting something for school. What would happen if they forgot something? What are the ramifications in the early stages of year 7? What could they do to prepare themselves so they did not forget anything? What does it mean or say about them if they forget something?Once each worry has been broken down, organise the class so they take the umbrella worry and discuss each one in small groups so that everyone's voice gets heard. It is important that all the group members share their ideas and take an active part. Quite a lot of the work done at secondary school is done in groups and so the children need to get used to putting their ideas forward and making a contribution to their "team". The children need to come up with ideas of how that worry can be diminished. What would they say to a child who was worried about that thing? Could they role-play it out? Design a poster? Come up with a short song? What would the challenges be for a child with that worry? This will help the children think of strategies in a fun and interactive way that they can use so they are more prepared for year 7. Those ideas can then be shared with the class and perhaps a leaflet made up for the children to take home. You could even go a step further and get the pupils to make a video for the year 5s that will be moving up to year 6 when they leave.So what kind of worries do children have? The kind of worries children will have will be around:Getting to school on time.Keeping in touch with old friends.Making and keeping new friends.Homework: too much or not being able to do it.Fitting it all in: after-school activities, homework, sleep.Teachers: not getting along with them and strict teachers.Lessons: the harder and more difficult content and understanding the lessons.Bullying: face-to-face and online.Peer pressure: resisting it.Travelling to and from school.Being organised.Getting lost at school.Similar lesson plans can be used for all of these worries and it is a great start to get children ready for year 7.Self-esteem and confidenceIt is incredibly important that we help those children who have not had a great experience at primary school too – perhaps stigmatised, they may have had few friends or were bullied – and those who aren't confident. Those children will be more anxious than others. Their self-esteem or their confidence may be low. We need to help them see the new school as a fresh start and that their experience can be different and more positive at secondary school. How do we identify these children? They are going to be those children who don't put their hands up in class, do not say positive things about themselves and do not want to join in or try new things. One idea would to be to do a lesson on confidence to remind all the children what it is to look confident (stand up straight with shoulders back), feel confident (I know what I am doing and I am going to do it well), eye contact (not too much and not too little) – how to chit-chat (something many children struggle with as it does not come naturally) and make conversation. It is important that they are taught how to look confident even when they don't feel it. In terms of self-esteem, you could do a lesson on identity. This can incorporate getting the children to make a collage of the attributes they have – generous, kind, thoughtful – the kind of person they are, what they like to do, what they are good it. Not only will this remind themselves who they are but it will also help in terms of making friends. When making friends we generally look for those people who we have something in common with. By reminding ourselves who we are it makes it easier for us to find our tribe. Self-esteem is also about self-acceptance and being able to say "this is who I am and I may not be like anyone else I know but that is okay". The world would be a dull place if everyone was the same.Transition is a tricky time but teachers can help allay the children's fears and help build up their confidence so they are able to embrace a time of change and development.

This weekend, we've changed our Travel Plan. We decided to postpone our not so well-planned trip to Japan for this month. Where is the Peso Fare of yesteryears?
We are going to travel to take some holiday vacations, to take some off from our daily routine, definitely not to stress ourselves out completing the required documents just to log our VISA applications on a very short notice, and as the target date of our holiday vacation is approaching, the price of airfare is sky-rocketing as well. This is a NO-NO, we will pursue Japan in the right time.
We ended up crafting our 7-day itinerary for an alternative country. 🙂 We booked our airline tickets way way cheaper than Japan via low cost airline. My goal of riding a Long Distance High Speed Train is still achievable. The alternative country that we are going to visit 11 days from now is one of the few countries in the world with High Speed Rail.
We are minimal to moderate spenders when it comes to international travels. We cannot afford to pay high airfare when we can get it 70% lower, if we planned our travel earlier.
Traveling without breaking bank account is my core belief. I started travelling on a budget, by DIY, this was the very reason why I made it to travel abroad in the first place; with the generosity and hospitality of others, and as a result, it trimmed down my accommodation costs. Call me a beggar, I call it wise spender. It was me, and this was how I started travelling!
Though I was blessed to have had some free accommodations on my international travels, I did not gate crash, It was all invitations. If I was welcome, then I was, if not, then I was not! My traveling style has also changed as time passed by. The taste of adventure also depletes as I age. My traveling style now is more of chill and relax. I don't care if I would be in just one spot for a week. I am not in a competition, I am taking a holiday vacation for myself. 🙂
It has been three years already since I traveled out-of-the country. I could not move on as of yet on my ultimate dream travel destination, Europe. It still runs all over my body for 3 years. 🙂 It is about time to explore another Train Travels. My interest to Train Travel is my new source of excitements.
We are going to reroute! 😊

Engine Oil Cooler Line Upgrade
These completely replace the failure-prone stock oil cooler lines and quick-connect fittings. If you see any signs of leaks or don't know how old your lines are, they should be replaced immediately to prevent possible engine damage. Issues often become evident during winter months where the rubber lines are less flexible and blow due to higher pressures with thick oil trying to circulate.
Custom machined fittings for your stock oil cooler are included that allow this to be a complete bolt-in kit for trouble free operation. You can opt to include a replacement cooler, if desired, and save vs purchasing it separately. The replacement 1/2" oil cooler is compatible with all year trucks when purchased in this kit.
- 1997+ style 6.5L trucks have 1/2" oil cooler line ports on the engine and oil cooler
- The black hex lower portion of your factory oil cooler should measure 1 1/4" or 32mm if you have 1/2" fittings.
- 1992-96 6.2L and 6.5L engines have 3/8" oil cooler line ports on the engine and oil cooler
- The black hex lower portion of your factory oil cooler should measure 1" or 26mm if you have 3/8" fittings.
- If your engine or oil cooler has been changed from the default factory configuration, you can customize this kit to fit by mixing and matching fitting sizes for the block and oil cooler. For example, if you put a 506 block engine in a 1994 truck, you might need 3/8" fittings for the oil cooler and 1/2" fittings for the engine block.
- These are for Trucks, Suburbans, Tahoes, and Blazers. They DO NOT fit vans.
If you opt to include both the replacement oil cooler and both sizes of fittings for the engine block, you are purchasing a universal kit that is guaranteed to fit any combination listed above.
Do not treat this ad as a way to buy both the oil cooler hose kit and a "spare oil cooler". If you select the replacement oil cooler, you will be sent fittings to use the replacement oil cooler ONLY, not your factory oil cooler. If you are planning something other than this, you must email us for a custom quote.
Please double-check and ask questions before ordering so we can ensure you get the correct parts to complete the job.
