Social Security Disability Appeal Levels
Social Security disability claims can involve multiple levels of appeals. An Indianapolis social security disability lawyer can help you navigate the complicated appeals process. The four primary levels of appeal are:
- The initial determination
- Reconsideration determination
- Hearing before an administrative law judge and
- Review by the Appeals Council.
After these four appeals are exhausted, a lawsuit may be filed in federal court.
Time Limit for Appeals
The time limit for a Social Security disability appeal is 60 days from the date of receipt of a decision. The courts presume that the decisions are received five days from the date on the face of the decision; thus, unless there is evidence to the contrary, the effective time limit to appeal is 65 days from the date of a decision. However, when a claimant appeals an ALJ denial to the Appeals Council after there has been a federal court remand, the time limit is 30 days instead of the usual 65 days.
Filed on the Day It Is Received
The Social Security Administration (SSA) also treats an appeal as filed on the day it is received by the SSA. However, the date used by the SSA is not the date a “request or notice is mailed to us by the U.S. mail, if using the date we receive it would result in the loss or lessening of rights.” Rather, “[t]he date shown by a U.S. postmark will be used as the date of mailing. If the postmark is unreadable, or there is no postmark, [the SSA will] consider other evidence of when you mailed it….”
If the deadline for making an appeal falls on a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or any other day of which all or part is a non-workday for federal employees by statute or Executive Order, the deadline is extended to the next full workday.

There are a lot of media images out there of today’s demo in Brussels, and some of them are quite dramatic. But an ordinary demonstrator (assuming that he didn’t get arrested) saw quite a different view.
Reader “White Elefant” sent me a link to his photo spread of today’s events. He has a lot of photos of what the demonstration looked like from the calmer side of things.
Notice all the dogs, and the heavy police presence.
This looks like the DDR, and not Belgium.
White Elefant’s title for his spread is “First demonstration against Islamisation of Europe in Brussels”.
Those who are deeply involved in this know what he means, and it ought to give the EU authorities pause…

My friend Shannon Severance sent me a link to a NY Times article on abusive bosses (available for a fee unless you are a NY Times subscriber).
I was surprised to see that the study cited in the article concludes that abusive bosses don’t affect productivity.
That doesn’t match my observations or the author’s description the results of bullying:
“It is not long before dissatisfaction spreads, rivalries simmer, sycophants flourish. Normally self-confident professionals can dissolve into quivering bundles of neuroses.” (Fear in the Workplace: The Bullying Boss by Benedict Carey, New York Times, June 22, 2004, Tuesday.)
What is clear from the article is that bullying bosses drive all manner of unhealthy coping behaviors and cause misery to their unfortunate subordinates.
Life is too short.

When confronted with a video Wednesday of the mother of a Benghazi victim saying that she was lied to by Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner responded by saying, “she’s wrong. She’s absolutely wrong.”
[...]Clinton told the audience she feels “a great deal of sympathy for the families” of the victims and she “can’t imagine the grief that she has for losing her son.” But, she then definitively said “she [the mother of the Benghazi victim] was absolutely wrong.”
Clinton continued her answer to explain the complexity of the situation that happened. She said that they were scrambling to get the information, and then they would have to go back and update the information they had said due to new intel. She told the audience about how she testified for 11 hours about the attack and how the Republicans said there was nothing new to find.
She ended her answer by saying that there were lessons to be learned from the Benghazi attacks.

It’s heartbreaking to learn your child has been the victim of bullying. No matter how you learned this information, be thankful you have it. We sat down with school counselor Jennifer Licate, author of the new easy-read chapter book He’s Not Just Teasing! and the Navigating Friendships book series, for steps parents can follow when they find out their child is being bullied.
Q: After the initial shock of finding out your child is being bullied, what do you suggest a parent should do first?
A: It’s heartbreaking for parents to discover their child is being bullied, but getting past the initial emotional response, the first thing to do is to talk to your child about their experiences. Ask your child how they are feeling. Explain what bullying is and assure your child that there’s no excuse for bullying. Avoid blaming your child or looking for reasons why they're being bullied and try to stay neutral when they're sharing their experiences. It’s hard to see your child hurting but if you respond too strongly, your child may stop confiding in you, so they don't upset you.
As part of this conversation, be sure to document any specifics, including dates, where the incident/s occurred and who was present. This documentation should include any evidence of bullying, such as screen shots of cyber bullying.
Q: Okay, so parents have had the discussion with their child, and they’ve got this information. What comes next?
A: Develop a plan of action with your child. A good way to start this conversation is by asking, “How can I help you?” They may have specific ideas of what they would like to do. Explore these ideas first. Explain to your child that you’re going to work together to take any steps necessary to stop the bullying. Tell your child you want them to be physically and emotionally safe. This conversation will demonstrate your love and support and show them they are not alone in dealing with the bullying.
Q: A plan of action sounds fantastic. What does a plan of action look like?
A: Each situation is a little different, but you want to be sure you help prepare your child how to respond the next time they are bullied. Bullies usually choose victims that easily get upset and don’t stand up for themselves. Allow your child to choose how they would like to respond, based on their comfort level. How will your child show the bully they're not upset? Will they make a remark to the bully or stay quiet but show them through their actions? Role-play these responses to get your child comfortable using these strategies. Your child could also talk to a close friend about the bullying. They could ask their friend for support in either standing up to the bully for them or supporting them when they stand up to the bully. There is power in numbers and your child’s friends probably don’t know how to help them.
Next, you want to identify an adult your child trusts where the bullying occurs. If they are bullied at school, the school counselor is a great resource. Your child can talk about the bullying, develop strategies, and have a safe place, within the school, where they can take a break, on hard days. If your child can’t find an adult they trust, or if they need support beyond what the school provides, contact a mental health counselor for additional support to help them through this difficult time.
Q: So a parent has the documentation they initially got from their child’s account, what do they do with that information?
A: Research the anti-bullying policy at your child’s school or within the organization where the bullying occurs. Did the bully violate any rules of this policy? This will be an important consideration in the next step, which is to meet with the principal at school (or the leader of your child’s activity where the bullying occurs). During this meeting, try to remain as calm as possible. Share your documentation of the bullying (including any evidence) and discuss how the bully has violated the anti-bullying policy, if applicable. Ask for the principal’s support to stop the bullying.
During this meeting, write down the steps the school or organization promises to take to stop the bullying. Be prepared to follow up on the progress toward completion of these steps. Stay in contact with the organization to discuss if the bullying has improved, both from your child’s perspective and the teacher’s or counselor’s perspective. If any new incidents have occurred, you can report them through these conversations.
Q: This all sounds great, so will this for sure put an end to the bullying?
A: Not necessarily, but it will at minimum make sure everyone who needs to know is aware, and you can keep working with your child and the school (or organization) to improve the situation until the bullying stops. Bullying doesn’t usually stop through one intervention. Reassure your child that there are steps you can take to stop bullying and you’re taking them.
Q: While working through the bullying issue, or even once it’s ceased, where does a parent go from here with their child?
A: Look for opportunities to build your child’s self-esteem. Most likely, the bullying has negatively affected their self-esteem. Any successes your child has will help raise their self-esteem. These successes can be achieved through activities, positive friendships and/or academics. Also, celebrate the small victories your child has in standing up for themself in social situations. Over time your child will learn that although they can’t control how the bully acts, they can control how they respond to the situation.
Q: These are wonderful tips and concrete steps for parents to use when trying to help their child. What if the bullying is more severe or doesn’t stop?
A: These steps should improve most bullying situations. However, if you’ve tried all these interventions and the situation hasn’t improved, or has become worse, it’s time to move to the next level. There are supports available beyond what I discussed, including contacting the next person above whoever you met with or contacting law enforcement to explore the options available to you. And, if your child has been physically assaulted or threatened, you should immediately contact law enforcement, while following through with the steps I discussed.
Thanks to Jennifer Licate for her time and expertise. To learn more about her latest book series, check out the Navigating Friendships book series.

If you are interested in purchasing outdoor camping tents, it is important to understand that there are several purchasing considerations that you must make. When purchasing camping tents, you will find that it is much like buying other types of gear that is used in the outdoors. However, it is important that you take the time to consider how you intend to actually use the tent that you are shopping for. There are many different types of tents, styles to choose from, and a large variety of features that are included with many tents. In this outdoor living shopping guide, you will learn about the important purchasing considerations when buying outdoor camping tents.
One of the first details that you must consider when purchasing camping tents is the general composition of the product. There are many different materials that are used to create outdoor camping tents. In most instances, this type of outdoor gear is composed of nylon. However, there are camping tents that are composed of a special polyurethane mix. Polyester and cotton are also popular materials used in the construction of outdoor camping tents. When purchasing a tent, you will want to consider the area that you will place the tent, the weather conditions, as well as the wildlife that surrounds your preferred camping region. By considering these factors, you will be able to select which type of material is best suited for your needs and preferences.
When shopping for outdoor tents, you will find that there are several different sizes that you may choose from. In most cases, the size of the tent is outlined by the number of individuals that may sleep comfortably within the unit. You will often see unique designations such as “One Person”, “Three Person”, and even “Family” on tents that are on the market today. If you are planning a camping trip, it is important to understand that a lot more than just those on the trip will need to be placed within the unit. This is why it is always important to purchase camping tents that are one to sizes larger than the size that you need as far as sleeping arrangements are concerned. This will allow you enough space to place other types of outdoor gear that you may need to store while enjoying the great outdoors.
When searching among the outdoor tents available today, you will need to consider the overall weight of the unit that you plan to purchase. For many, this is not at all important. However, if you plan to go hiking or backpacking through a particular region, you will want to ensure that the tent that you are carrying is light enough that you are comfortable. However, if you plan to use a motor vehicle or a recreational vehicle to reach your camping destination, you may find that it is not important to consider the weight of the camping tent that you plan on using once you reach the camp site.
There are many important purchasing considerations when shopping for outdoor camping tents. It is important to become familiar with the different types of tents that you have to choose from as well as the characteristics and features associated with those tents. In order to experience the great outdoors the way that it is meant to be experienced, it is essential to ensure that you have the proper shelter. Tents are convenient and easy to assemble products that will provide you with the shelter that you need from the elements that you are subjected to while on your trip. By knowing your needs and clearly outlining your preferences before your purchase, you will find that it is easy to choose among the many outdoor camping tents on the market today.

Sheila has been great so far! We're only a couple sessions in, but I've already seen some improvement. She sends me pieces to practice with which are great for my drive to and from work. The atmosphere in her studio is very comfortable as well. I love forward to more sessions with her and getting back to feeling more comfortable with my singing voice!
I'm a beginning / intermediate bass player getting back into it after not playing for a lot of years, and trying to learn to do jazz bass stuff for a jazz trio with some friends. Every time I mention a song we're doing, Jeremy knows all kinds of stuff about the song, its history, the chord progressions, etc, and has been really helpful at increasing my comfort doing walking bass lines. It's been a great way to pick up lots of jazz and music theory and context that wouldn't have been easy to pick up on my own. I'm a few lessons in, and so far: great guy, great lessons.
Chucks World provided the Greatest DJ EVER! DJ Nick Lang brought the house down and made our reception the talk of the town. He interacted with all the gusts, played request, and helped get everyone dancing with an outstanding playlist. DJ Nick Lang and Chucks World Entertainment truly are the very best!!
She always takes the time to work with me, whatever issue I might be having that day to get the sound perfect. She is willing to learn new music to fit my style, as well as classics to teach technique. Will go over a section of music until it makes sense and can be executed correctly.
Kate has really improved my singing performances. My audiences are getting larger and having more fun. Acoustic music by Monte
John and Suzanne Carpenter are friendly, professional and caring piano teachers. I have improved by leaps and bounds since starting lessons at True Virtuoso piano studios. Not only has my technique improved but I have a deeper understanding of the music. I look forward to my lessons. John is an excellent motivator and communicator of technical and theoretical knowledge. This studio is well suited for a student of any level or age. I recommend this piano studio to anyone in the Cincinnati area.
My guest “RAVED” over the QUALITY of the music. MOST DEFINITELY WILL HIRE AGAIN
Matt Gill was really easy to work with! He was very responsive to messages and following up. He was able to text, email and schedule phone calls at my convenience. As a bride trying to find time to fit everything it, this was SO helpful. Matt was also able to attend our rehearsal and play all of the songs we asked him to play! He was wonderful and our ceremony sounded beautiful. He came early and played music while our guests were being seated as well. Everyone enjoyed his music and complimented how beautiful the guitar sounded with the rest of our ceremony! He was a great choice for our wedding at Pattison Lodge.
The event was a 5th grade end of the year pool party...unfortunately the rain delayed the pool off of the party. This could have been catastrophic but not for Greg. He was up for the challenge and passed with flying colors. He played hula hoop games, played current music and included the kids in on DJ-ing. He was awesome and we were so glad that we hired him for the event! Thank you Greg for all your help and flexibility!
We asked Matt W. and his band to play our wedding reception this past August. It couldn't have gone better. Matt was responsive to my emails, arrived on-time, and set up with no issues. I hadn't expected country music to get people dancing as much as it did, but he kept the dance floor packed for four straight hours. They put on an awesome show for us. Thank you again, Matt!
David Albertz has a wonderful way of pulling everything together to create amazing experiences for guests and clients alike. I've worked with him on several occasions working weddings. As a wedding photographer, I'm often left out of the loop and having to keep on my toes to track what the DJ is doing and keep up with the events. David does a wonderful job of coordinating timing in the midst of it all with an upbeat, kind attitude. But more than that, he truly does have a talent when it comes to all things music. I've also had the pleasure of seeing him perform musically both solo and in groups, and it's clear that his talent lies not just in one vein of music, but across the board whether it be performance, teaching, or event-leading. I'd quickly recommend him (and I do often) to anyone looking for musical help!
Talia was my first voice teacher! I was very new to singing in general and she made me feel very comfortable and really took time to work with me. I studied with her for a little over a year and during that time I learned more about singing that I ever thought was possible! She had several different ways of explaining concepts which was great since I was new to singing! She took time out of her weekend to go to operas with me and some other students. She is one of the main people that sparked my interest in singing and I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Music and I have a bachelors degree in music as well. She is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend her!

August’s Book Club book was the Orange Prize for Fiction winner The Tiger’s Wife by Tea Obreht. Having read one of the shortlisted novels a few months ago and enjoyed it, we were keen to see what the winner would be like!
Everyone found the book beautifully written with vivid descriptions, but the novel felt more like a collection of loosely connected short stories which didn’t always feel like they fit together. Some of the tales felt unfinished and unresolved, but the way they were written made up for it for most people. The group felt they would’ve liked to know more about the region and the war that was referenced. Overall everyone felt that they would recommend the book as a fantastic example of writing, but would have liked more of a coherent story.
Our next book will be Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre. We’ll be meeting, as usual on the last Thursday of the month (29th September) at 6pm in the Church St branch. All are welcome, even those that don’t finish the book!

Over the years I have become somewhat of a self-proclaimed coffee shop connoisseur… basically just meaning that I spend a lot of time in them 🙂 Give me a good cup of coffee and some chill tune-age and I’m set for the day.
A few months ago, I stumbled across this treasure on St. Philip Street in Downtown Charleston. Brown’s Court Bakery is my absolute favorite place to spend a relaxing afternoon meeting with friends or writing blog posts and it has an incredibly cozy and local atmosphere.
My favorite picks are the iced coffee and the many varieties of delicious muffins, however, this bakery boasts a huge selection of made-from-scratch pastries and breads as well as lots of different coffee and espresso drinks.
Brown’s Court also offers gluten-free options for those who are GF as well as some vegan choices. I truly respect a business who offers these accommodations to their customers. Although the coffee and food are to die for, my favorite thing about this place is the uniquely Charleston atmosphere (and fabulous front porch) that cannot be beat.
Spots like this are just another of the many reasons that I love this city and it’s historic, eclectic, and uniquely beautiful culture. Can I live here forever?

Beowulf is a timeless classic; it is one of the most popular works in Old English literature. It is essentially an epic poem, meaning that the text dictates the events of a story, particularly an adventure, but is phrased to sound like a poem. The text was produced sometime between 975 and 1025 AD, but the exact date remains unknown. Like the date, the author of the epic poem remains disputed, too, and is instead referred to simply as the “Beowulf poet.” The story boasts a number of fascinating characters, including the brave hero, Beowulf, Grendel, and Hrothgar. There are many interesting historical places cited throughout the epic, which begins in Scandinavia. Modern-day Scandinavia consists of three kingdoms: Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Below is a list of historic places noted in the Beowulf epic that are worth visiting.
Sjaelland, better known as Zealand, is Denmark’s largest island. The locality is noted for its beauty and historical value. There are many fantastic places to visit in Zealand. Notable sites include The Little Mermaid bronze sculpture based on the popular children’s story, the Nyhavn canal, and harbor known for its crystal clear blue water and the colorful houses lining the street, as well as the Tivoli Gardens, which are a 19th-century amusement park and attracts millions of visitors every year.
Tivoli is the world’s second-oldest amusement park and is the second-most popular tourist park on Earth. The park has many rides that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. As far as Scandinavia is concerned, it is the most visited park within the Scandinavian perimeter and is definitely worth visiting.
Another interesting place to visit in Zealand is Amalienborg or the Queen’s Winter Residence. Here, you can find tour guides who can walk you through the manor and enlighten you with facts about the place. The place is heavily influenced by the rococo art movement and is a must-see site for all those who are interested in art history.
Frederiksberg Castle is another must-see site in Zealand and was the home of King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway through the early 17th century. The castle overlooks a water channel and is one of the most famous Renaissance projects in all of Europe. It boasts lush interior influences by Baroque design and also contains the largest collection of portrait paintings in all of Denmark-another must-see sites for those interested in art, literature, and history.
The Beowulf epic touches upon Poland, too. Poland is a European country with deep-rooted historical importance and many intriguing sites to see, including Warsaw, Krakow, and Gdansk. Warsaw is the capital of Poland and played an important role in the World Wars. The city flaunts many Gothic churches and neoclassical palaces just waiting to be discovered. Krakow is another city in Poland that is known for its Jewish heritage and medieval-age architecture. The city is lined with medieval walls, all of which tell an age-old story of knights, kings, and castles.
Gdansk is one of Poland’s port cities. The city is colorful and alive with warm lights and brightly colored buildings. The cuisine is also excellent and sports much freshwater fish, prawns, and crabs.
Sweden is a traveler’s paradise; the country flaunts a lush countryside as well as glaciers and mountains. There are many places worth visiting in Sweden, starting with Stockholm and ending at Abisko.
Stockholm is the Swedish capital and encompasses 14 islands. It has over 50 bridges that connect the islands and make for one united “city.” Stockholm has a number of interesting tourist sites, including the Nobel Museum, the Kungliga Slottet Royal Palace, and the 13th-century Storkyrkan Cathedral.
Another great place to see in Gothenburg. Gothenburg is a city situated near the Gota alv river towards the Swedish west coast. Here, you can enjoy a calm boat ride down one of the many famous Dutch-style canals or enjoy a meal by the water.
Kiruna is one of the smaller towns in Sweden. It is known for its LKAB iron ore mine that sports an underground visitor’s center. The Kiruna Church is also worth visiting; it is known for its bell tower and Sami-style design.
Finally, we have Abisko, from where one can see the Aurora Borealis. There are also many reindeer and lemmings that can be spotted running wild across the snow-capped hilltops, making for a truly magical vacation spot.
The Aurora Lights are often visited by students, particularly those interested in natural science and art. Students who visit are often asked to prepare an essay to summarize their visit. Many universities and schools bring students here because Sweden was an important place related to the plot of the Beowulf epic poem.
However, not all students manage to visit the site, making it difficult for them to write their essays. At times like these, a better alternative is to scour the internet for some Beowulf essay examples. The online realm is brimming with excellent essay samples that are certainly worth checking out.
The Beowulf epic poem takes us on a glorious journey across Scandinavia and bordering lands. The poem beckons at readers to discover the magic of Europe and become one with it; according to the author of Beowulf, there seems to be nothing better than galloping across the lands and discovering all that the place has to offer.
While the landscape was certainly different back when the epic poem was written, it still maintains its magnificence and grandeur even today. All the places listed above are a must-visit for fans of the epic, or even those who are just looking for a fun place to visit on their next vacation.

Ventures: an undertaking involving uncertainty of the outcome.
---my field of view through photography.
This is not a tree we have around hereabout I sure think it is pretty.
The blossoms are looking real good.
and it truly is delightful.. so beautiful
Beautiful dogwood! Love its blossoms so much. Ours are long gone here in Florida...we had a very early spring...and much too early summer weather. Thank you for showing us how the rest of the country is still blooming with Spring's beauty!
Very pretty. Dogwoods are such a dainty looking flowering tree. I love them.
Dogwoods are one of my favorite trees to see in Spring. I really don't have one planted in our yard. Maybe this fall, I will work on finding one to plant and enjoy for the rest of my life.
Thank you for stopping by and sharing my ventures in photos. I look forward to every comment and especially discovering your Blogs with their wonderful photos, conversation and words of wisdom and encouragement.Each of you are a blessing to my day.

And Iranian decision-makers are well aware of this. And many Iranian leaders of that era have taken the journey from revolution to reform. As such, the Iranian population always surprises world public opinion by the level of its complexity and pragmatism.
As I (and, to be fair, many others) predicted prior to the election, Rouhani benefitted handsomely from high voter turnout. "I hope he can build on the success of the nuclear agreement to deepen relations with the West and begin to bridge the sectarian chasm between Iran and its regional neighbours". Iran's most powerful authority - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - has ruled out normalisation of ties with the United States. He covered the 2017 Iranian presidential election from Tehran.
He also suggested that the leaders of Iran, like many leaders elsewhere, are still trying to understand Trump and his policies.
The bad news is that US President Donald Trump, who opposed the nuclear deal during his campaign, and the Republican-dominated US Congress have taken a hardline stance toward Iran, and are discouraging investment in the country. Syrian strategy and priorities of the current United States administration in this country aren't completely clear yet, but there are reasons to believe that Trump's team will try to separate Russia's and Iran's goals in Syria by signing separate agreements with Moscow - this possibility is at least discussed at the level of informed experts.
Visiting Iran's arch-foe Saudi Arabia on Sunday, Trump singled out Iran as a key source of funding and support for militant groups in the Middle East, sending a tough message to Tehran the day after Rouhani won a second presidential term.
Addressing his first press conference after being re-elected as Iran's president, Rouhani said that Tehran has always favoured good ties with the regional and global countries. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 overthrew Washington's puppet ruler, the shah of Iran, and just as in the case of Castro's revolution in Cuba, the USA has never forgiven it for that crime. The benchmark West Texas Intermediate remained in the $50 per barrel range in after-hours trading, suggesting that the market did not see any imminent significant changes in Iran's oil policy.More news: Meeting with Abbas, Trump calls Manchester attackers 'evil losers'
Rouhani gave a televised address on Saturday after defeating his conservative rival Ebrahim Raisi in Friday's election. Iran's close relationship with Russian Federation is well known, yet if Russian Federation and the US manage to beef up their cooperation in the Middle East, Iran may find the opportunity to reduce its dependence vis-a-vis Russian Federation.
So Trump has used Iran as a verbal punching bag while his administration has levied mostly symbolic sanctions on Tehran's ballistic missile program, which was not part of the nuclear deal, adding to those left in place by the Obama administration. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the Quds Force continue to support Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. So an important battle between conservatives and reformists over the choice of the next Supreme Leader looms.
Spokesman for Iran, Bahran Qassemi, charged that, far from encouraging an atmosphere of unity in the region, Trump's rhetoric is, in fact, "reinvigorating terrorists in the region by its hostile policies". "He faces a hard task", Fazel Meybodi, a Shia cleric from the city of Qum, said of Rouhani.
According to Tillerson, the USA wants Rouhani to "begin the process of dismantling Iran's network of terrorism" and put an end to ballistic missile testing. Rouhani's victory has proven once again that the candidate closest to the supreme leader is not guaranteed victory.
Last Friday, the Iranians made a decision to stand on the side of popular sovereignty rather than divine sovereignty in yet another election that had all the frustrating signs of making the fate of a nation.
Mr Rouhani, who defeated challenger Ebrahim Raisi in Friday's presidential election, responded by ridiculing decades of USA strategy in the Middle East. The vote clearly tells the religious hierarchy that Iranians want peaceful engagement with other countries.

Wigan prepared for talented Wire
Shaun Wane speaks ahead of Warrington game
- Wigan Warriors face Warrington Wolves at the DW Stadium tomorrow, 8pm K.O.
Shaun Wane says his side will come up against a ‘talented’ Warrington team when they sides collide at the DW tomorrow night.
Table toppers Warrington make the short journey up the M6 to tackle Wigan and Wane admits he has been impressed with the Wolves so far this year.
“They’ve got some talent,” he said. “The players they’ve got from the NRL in Gidley, Simms and Sandow and from Hull with Lineham and Westerman so they’ve gone out and bought some really good players. We have a slightly different approach at Wigan but it’s still two good teams going at it.”
Continuing he said: “They’ve attacked really well and are a very good team. They’re scoring lots of points and winning games. Their game against Hull was a very close game and they could have got that.
“At the moment on form they’re the best team in the competition. Regardless of where we’re at it’s always two good teams that like to play and it just adds to the spice this Friday.”
Both teams will play in their third game inside a week after the Easter weekend but Wane says his team will be ready.
“Tony (Smith) is in the same boat as us, it’s been a tough Easter. They got turned over at Hull and it was a long travel. They won’t get much into the players and neither will we but that’s just the way it is after Easter.
“We’re going to go into the game confident after the performance against St Helens. We know that if we concentrate and defend well then we can trouble teams. You look at the way Warrington and their halves are playing and you know that they’re going to be tough to beat.”
Wigan Warriors face Warrington Wolves at the DW Stadium on Friday 1 April, 8pm. Tickets for the game are available online HERE, from the DW Stadium Ticket Office and the Ticket Hotline – 0871 6633 552.

Wild Timor Coffee have recently become Social Traders certified. Yippee!
This means that we're now officially recognised by the Australian government as a registered Social Enterprise.
The Social Traders organisation defines a social enterprise as:
- having "a defined primary social purpose, environmental or other public benefit"
- deriving "a substantial portion of income from trade"
- reinvesting "50% or more of annual profits towards achieving the social purpose"1
Basically, rather than running on donations or fundraising, we predominantly rely on our commercial trade practises to function and give back to the Timorese. "Social enterprises are commercially viable businesses existing to benefit the public and the community, rather than shareholders and owners."2
Our customers know that by simply buying our coffee they're participating in something that gives back, not just to our community here in Australia but in Timor-Leste too.
Wild Timor Coffee can provide coffee and equipment for your office. To drop us a line about getting involved, send us a message via our contact form.
Yesterday I opened my first Wild Timor coffee and it was a pleasure to drink it again! Last time was in November 2017 in Hong Kong. We have a coffee rostery here in Jaerna, Sweden, and I will bring them some beans for taste. I feel so happy having my coffee here!

This invention relates generally to use of compact disc players in vehicles, and more particularly to combinations of hardware and circuitry adapting a portable CD player to audio circuitry utilized in vehicles.
Vehicles most commonly have radio and/or stereo circuitry, and speakers, in place; whereas portable compact disc players are not integrated into that circuitry. As a result, the vehicle occupant must turn off his radio or stereo, and turn on his CD player, or vice versa, when he wants to hear one or the other. There is no convenient way to operate one switch to accomplish the changeover, and there is consequently need for such switching equipment; also there is need for positioning the player so that not only is a compact disc readily changeable, but also the player is located in compatable position for a "one-switch" control, as referred to.
It is a major object of the invention to provide a solution to the above problem, meeting the described need. Basically, the invention is addressed to that solution, and contemplates the provision of a vehicle audio system having speaker and audio (radio or stereo) circuitry, and wherein there is also provided the following:
(a) a carrier, and means thereon to attach the carrier to a vehicle instrument panel to be supported by the panel,
(b) a tray supported by the carrier for movement between extended and retracted positions relative to the carrier and instrument panel,
(c) a compact disc player supported by the tray for movement therewith between said extended positions in which a compact disc carried by the player is positioned for removal, and said retracted position in which the disc is normally substantially concealed, the player having an output connection,
(d) a switching circuit associated with the carrier and having terminals electrically connectible with:
(i) said speaker circuitry,
(ii) said audio circuitry, and
(iii) the player output connection,
(e) the switching circuitry being operable to have a first or static position in which the audio circuitry is connected with the speaker circuitry, and a second and alternate position in which the player output connection is connected with the speaker circuitry.
As will appear, the switching circuitry may be at least partly concealed within the carrier to be connected to the CD player placed in the tray; and such placement and locating affords direct access to player controls in both retracted and extended positions of the tray. Also, the carrier may comprise a forwardly and rearwardly elongated housing having upper and lower generally horizontal walls, a rear wall and side walls, the lower wall projecting forwardly to substantially greater extent than said upper wall, the tray supported to move forwardly and rearwardly above said lower wall so that the player supported thereby becomes substantially concealed below said upper wall of the housing in said tray retracted position.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention, as well as the details of an illustrative embodiment, will be more fully understood from the following specification and drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a compact disc player holder, as installed to a vehicle instrument panel;
FIG. 2 is a view like FIG. 1, but showing the player tray extended, and a protective lid elevated;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view, in section, of the holder, with tray extended;
FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view of the holder, on lines 4--4 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a view like FIG. 3, showing the tray retracted;
FIG. 6 is a section view on lines 6--6 of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the carrier;
FIG. 8 is a section, in elevation, on lines 8--8 of FIG. 3;
FIGS. 9-11 are circuit diagrams.
In FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, a vehicle audio system 10 includes a carrier 11 having a top horizontal wall 12 attachable to the underside 13a of a vehicle instrument panel 13. The carrier also includes a bottom wall 14, upright opposite side walls 15 and 16, and an end wall 17. Side walls 15 and 16 have reduced height extents 15a and 16a which, together with bottom wall 14, project forwardly away from the instrument panel, and beyond the forward edge 12a of top wall 12. A front opening from the carrier is provided at 18, just below and forwardly of edge 12a. Brackets 19 and 19a connect the top wall to the instrument panel underside 13a, and a fastener 20 connects the brackets together.
The lower extents of the side walls are turned inwardly to provide tray support flanges 21 and 22, as seen in FIG. 8. A tray 23 is supported by the carrier, as on the two flanges 21 and 22, for tray movement between forwardly extended (FIGS. 2 and 3) positions, and rearwardly retracted (FIGS. 1 and 5) positions. The tray typically has a bottom wall 24 with opposite extents 24a and 24b slidably supported on the flanges 21 and 22. Also, the tray has L-shaped downward projections 26 and 26a that are carried by bottom wall 24 and that extend beneath the flanges to block lifting of the tray relative to the carrier. The tray also includes upright, forwardly and rearwardly extending rails 27 and 28 projecting above the bottom wall extents 24a and 24b to provide a space therebetween to closely fit opposite sides 30a and 30b of a compact disc player housing 30. Bottom wall extents 24a and 24b also are received beneath laterally inward, forwardly and rearwardly extending flanges 33 and 34 integral with the carrier side walls. The tray bottom wall inner end has sliders 35 thereon (see FIG. 3) adapted to slidably fit closely against the flanges 33 and 34.
The forward extent 36 of the tray projects upwardly above the bottom wall, at 36a, and to a height at 36b corresponding to the upper edges of the carrier side walls 15a and 16a. Forward extent 36 also projects downwardly at 36c to provide a lip at 36d to be finger grasped for tray pull-out. Front wall 36a is forwardly convex as shown and may be indented or recessed at 37, for thumb grasping. Rearward edge 36e of the tray forward extent 36 are adapted to register with and engage the forward edges 15c and 16c of walls 15 and 16, to stop tray closing. A downward abutment 39 from the tray bottom wall is engageable with a downward lug 40 on the carrier bottom wall to limit forward opening or slide-out of the tray. The space 41 between the flange 21 and flange 33, as well as space 41 between flange 22 and flange 24 tapers in a rearward direction to grip the slides 35 and bend item downwardly to functionally lock the tray in closed position, for retention as in FIG. 5.
The compact disc player 42 located within the housing is conventional in design and operation, and is well known. One example is Model SL - XP5 made by Technics, Div. of Matsushita, Japan.
The compact disc itself is indicated at 43, in FIG. 2. In tray extended position, as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the compact disc is exposed for removal, whereas in tray retracted position, the disc is substantially concealed by the carrier. In this regard, a cover 44, which may be considered as part of the disc housing, is hinged to tilt upwardly and rearwardly in tray extended position, as seen in FIG. 2, to give access to the disc; whereas in tray retracted position, the cover is closed down onto the remainder of the disc housing. On the other hand, the player controls, indicated at 45 and 46 are fully accessible in both extended and retracted positions of the tray, the tray and carrier providing an effective side "cut-out" to provide access to on-off and volume controls at the side of the player. Typically, the player cover or lid 44 is closed down, as seen in FIG. 1, while the tray is moved toward or from tray extended position. Inadvertent attempts to lift the cover 44 in tray retracted position are blocked by cover engagement with the carrier edge extent 12a.
In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, switching circuitry is associated with the carrier and has terminals electrically connectible with:
(i) speaker circuitry on the vehicle,
(ii) audio circuitry on the vehicle,
(iii) and an output connection on the compact disc player.
Further, that switching circuitry is manually or automatically operble to have a first or static position in which the audio circuitry (as for example a car radio) is connected with the vehcile speaker circuitry; and a second and alternate position in which the compact disc player output connection is then connected with the speaker circuitry on the vehicle. Accordingly, the user can quickly switch either way, i.e. to obtain either radio or other audio (stereo for example) programming on the vehicle speaker system, or compact disc player output on his vehicle speaker, and at the same time his player remains housed as discussed above. Also, if his compact disc player is playing, i.e. the on-off control at 46 is "ON", the user can quickly switch by means of the referenced alternate switching circuitry to his radio output, and back and forth at any time, using only that one alternate switch.
See for example FIG. 9 wherein switching circuitry is indicated by block 50 within which a switcher 51 is shown as having output at 52 to a vehicle speaker circuit input 52. The circuitry 50 has an input at 53 from the output 54 of portable CD player 42, described above; and the circuitry 50 has a second input at 55 from the vehicle stereo preamplifier 56. Circuitry 50 may include a pre-amplifier at 57 between 53 and 51. Power input is indicated as including a 12 volt supply 58, DC power converter 59 within circuitry 50, and voltage regulator 60 connected at 61 and 62 with 42 and 51. Thus, the switcher circuitry may be provided with suitable connections at 52, 53, 55, 58 and 61. In simplified form, the switcher 51 includes a switch arm 51a connected with 52, and connectible with either one of the two contacts 51b and 51c, the former connected to 42 and the latter to 56.
In FIG. 10, switching circuitry indicated by block 60 includes a switcher 61 having output at 61a to vehicle wiring harness 62 representative of vehicle speaker circuitry. The block 60 has an input at 63 from output at 54 of the portable compact disc player 42. Circuitry 60 has a second input at 65 from a vehicle radio, as via a Delco Bose (or other) radio connector 66, for example. A pre-amplifier 57 is employed within 60 with a voltage selector 67, to which power is supplied via line 68 from harness 62, for supply on line 69 to the radio and on line 69a to the units 54 and 57.
In FIG. 11, the circuitry is similar to FIGS. 9 and 10, except that the switcher 70a switches between the output of CD player 42, and the output at 71 of an auto stereo unit 72, for selected audio signal delivery at 73 to the auto stereo amplifier 74 and then to the auto speaker 75. Power is supplied at 76, 77 and voltage selector 78.
The circuitry in any of the blocks 50, 60 and 70 may be associated with the carrier 11; for example, it may be located at position 80 seen in FIG. 3, i.e. at the rear of the carrier, and have terminals indicated at 81 for establishing the connections indicated at 52, 55 and 58 in FIG. 0. Also, it has jack connections indicated at 53a and 61a to connect to the portable CD player 42 when the latter is placed into position in the tray, as via a flexible cable and plugs. Broken line 42a in FIG. 3 indicates an appropriate receptacle to receive the jacks, which correspond to connections 53 and 61, in FIG. 9. Other arrangements and location of circuitry 50, 60 and 70 are possible.
The element 51a, 51b and 51c may be conveniently located, in association with the apparatus and/or the instrument panel.
In FIG. 5, a cantilevered, upwardly biased slides 35 is shown projecting rearwardly beyond the rearward end 33a of flange 33, to lock the tray in retracted position. Forward pulling of the tray serves to unlock the slides by camming it beneath the flange or rail 33.
In FIG. 3, the fastener 20 may be loosened to enable tilting of bracket 18 relative to bracket 19, and corresponding tilting of the carrier and tray, for optional positioning thereof.

Saul Steinberg was born in Romania in 1914, to parents of Russian Jewish descent. In Bucharest Steinberg’s father, Moritz, opened a printing and bookbinding shop. It was at his father’s factory that Steinberg gained familiarity with such materials as colored and embossed papers, rubber stamps, and wooden movable type, all of which figure later in his art.
Steinberg studied sociology and psychology at the University of Bucharest and architecture in Milan. He soon became deeply engaged in drawing, contributing cartoons to Italian newspapers specializing in humor and satire. In the summer of 1942, he arrived in New York City, having already published drawings in the New Yorker, Mademoiselle, PM, and other periodicals. Steinberg was assigned to Naval Intelligence for the remainder of the war.
Through his wife Hedda Sterne, Steinberg met other émigré artists such as André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, and Piet Mondrian. He also formed enduring friendships with Alexander Calder, Ad Reinhardt, Mark Rothko, and the photographer Inge Morath among many others.
In 1945 All in Line, the first of seven books of drawings Steinberg produced during his career, was named a Book of the Month Club selection. In 1952 the Betty Parsons and Sidney Janis galleries mounted their first joint exhibition of his work, which gave rise to a series of exhibitions in the United States, South America, and Europe; they would continue to jointly present Steinberg exhibitions for the next 25 years. He exhibited regularly at Galerie Maeght in Paris.
Over the course of six decades Steinberg made more than 1,200 works for the New Yorker alone, as well as thousands of drawings and sculptures that were exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. Other works included stage sets, photographs, and murals.
The most remarkable of the latter was the 240-foot mural The Americans, created for the United States Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair. At the same time that Steinberg’s mural was being featured, Robert Delpire selected a drawing by Steinberg to grace the cover of the book he published later that year by Robert Frank, Les Américains.
Steinberg died in 1999. Later, Delpire published a monograph in the Poche Illustrateur collection in 2008.

First Microsoft announced the end of Windows Phone 8.x last July, then that it was to be ending support for Windows 8.1, and now it has done the same for new apps in the Microsoft Store. As Microsoft first announced plans to end support for Windows Phone’s operating system back in July 2017 so users — including small businesses — have had some warning that a more detailed announcement was coming for some time.
The company has laid out three dates (included below) to allow app creators can better plan their development cycles. Microsoft says after those dates it will stop distributing app updates to devices with the aforementioned platforms. However, customers with Windows 10 devices will continue to get updates.
The Death of Windows Phone
According to NetMarketShare, as of July 2018, the market share for Windows Phone was an infinitesimal 0.17%. When you compare Android’s 70.07% and iOS’s 28.66% share, Windows had a long way to go to make any noticeable difference in the market. This in part is what led Microsoft to create Windows Mobile 10.
Microsoft introduced Windows 10 Mobile with the goal of bringing together the Windows family across different devices. Since the company has abandoned its smartphone aspirations with the sale of Nokia, moving to the software side of mobility looks to be a more realistic avenue in order to be part of the mobile ecosystem.
The Dates that Mark the End of the Windows 8 App Store
On October 31, 2018, new app submissions will no longer be accepted for Windows Phone 8.x or earlier or Windows 8/8.1 packages
On July 1, 2019, the distribution of app updates to Windows Phone 8.x or earlier devices will stop
On July 1, 2023, all app update distributions to Windows 8/8.1 devices will stop
Windows Phone 8.1 was released on July 11, 2014, and while Microsoft has been providing updates and patches for the mobile operating system for over three years, it has done very little to drive new users to the platform so the latest Microsoft announcement would seem to be another nail in the coffin of the Microsoft’s mobile OS experiment.


Rock Springs is a new nature walk carved into a wooded area within the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. The name for the project comes from an existing spring long associated with this site and serves as the recharge source for the streambed system. The trees, vegetation along with the addition of a 400’ long meandering streambed, waterfall feature make for a beautiful walk in the woods. With Grotto’s carved into the banks of the streambed, the opportunity to interact w/ the water, along with scenic overlooks placed strategically throughout, Rocks Springs is a Family destination. A submersible pump system is used to create the water flow for waterfall, grotto and streambed effects.
Scope of work: Design Build, providing both engineering design & construction. Our construction scope included installation of all fountain MEP, pump systems, & controls

(Your Historical Galion is contributed by the Galion Historical Society and features the writings of Dr. Bernard M. Mansfield and other local historians. This article was originally printed in the Saturday, Jan. 6, 1996, edition of the Galion Inquirer.)
Mary and Alice Graham were special friends of mine. They lived on North Pierce street, and during my house calls to these ladies, there evolved an exchange of historical information. Their contribution one year, at my urging, was to list all the saloons in town. I don’t have a record of the year, or years, this compilation was made, my here is the list as they gave it to me:
“1. Blyly’s saloon where the picture show is located. Later owned by Jack Bittner.
“2. Jake Holmes’ saloon. Later owned by Mr. Mahler.
“3. Mr. Homes came down east of the tracks; later taken over by George Dougal, then Mr. Holmes returned to the original place next to the Inquirer building (now the law offices of Ricksecker, Wagner, Hoover and Palmer).
“4. Bar at the Central Hotel.
“5. Fritz Amann on South Market St. (later managed by Crotty and May).
“6. Across alley was Johnny Kraft (Carl Volk’s grandfather).
“7. Baumgardner’s just north of the lumber company on South Market Street.
“8. Ganshorn’s across Erie tracks on South Market St.
“9. Jake Bollerer’s on southwest corner of South Market and Parson streets, later owned by John Hosler.
“10. Max Boehm in first building north of Erie tracks on the east side, later taken over by Frank Faber’s father.
“11. Liz Howard, near the corner of Walnut and South Market streets. Incidently, there were three cigar stores between Atwood street and the square — namely, Louie Liller, who made the Old Homestead cigar; Bill Poister, who made the C & P cigar, and George Trussel.
“12. Adolph Faber (brother of Frank Faber) who had a saloon beneath the old telephone offices; it was later run by Harry Smart, called the Old Chief.
“13. Eagles building.
“14. Tobe Morkel, where Bob’s news stand is at the present time (presently the location of Sportees); later run by Rollie Wagner then by John Schaaf.
“15. Runsel ran the Fashion Saloon at the location of Decker’s Bookstore.
“16. Joe Yochem had a place where the Palladium is now located (presently the China Wok).
“17. George Dull’s saloon.
“18. Charley Reister’s at the corner of Main and South Liberty street where Boehm’s Furniture is now (the corner of Harding Way East and South Liberty Street).
“19. Dutch Matthias’ place next to the Wheel Works (presently Millie’s Diner).
“20. Tony Sittler’s saloon located next to the City Building.
“21. Miles Sweeney’s place across the alley and next to another Wheel Works building.”
Mary’s list of saloon’s may have covered several years in time. This list however, is not too long for any one given year because sometimes the saloons outnumbered the churches 3-to-1.
For a more complete story of the Galion saloons, see the Historical Galion columns in the 1986 (from which today’s reference is taken).
Of course, the saloons all sold the local “Galion Beer.” It was made at the brewery located at the site of the recently abandoned Children’s Services buildings south of Winchester Road.
Newspaper advertisements for the brewery in 1891 read: “Support Home Industry. Use Galion Beer. Strictly pure and compares favorably with the best. For family use and medical purposes use Galion Export Beer. Recommended by physicians.”
“Doc” Weaver has a saloon on South Street in the same year. He advertised “A cool refreshing glass of Cincinnati Beer, the best in the City.” He didn’t mention the local product.
Not all the saloons were individually described in the “saloon series” 10 years ago. By 1900 there were 16 saloons in Galion, all individually owned. In addition, most of the Galion restaurants (or cafés, as they were popularly called) sold beer as well. And the count went up from there.
With the beginning of Prohibition in 1919, some saloons sold bootleg whiskey or knew where it could be obtained. After the repeal of the 18 th Amendment to the Constitution in 1933, the old fashioned saloon never regained its popularity nor its place in community life as it had before then. Like the old fashioned tavern, it was a dying breed.

It is fairly obvious that a Tesla is almost entirely different from a standard internal combustion car. Obviously, they don’t have an internal combustion engine and therefore don’t require as large of a radiator that cools it, but what about the rest of the cooling system? That leads us to the topic of this article.
Do Teslas have a water pump? All Tesla models do have a water pump. In fact, there are multiple water pumps on a Tesla that work to cool various components on the vehicle. The main water pump is responsible for circulating the coolant through the battery pack, which generates heat through usage.
You may or may not be familiar with the term water pump. What exactly is that? Let’s begin by talking a little bit about your cars cooling system. On an internal combustion engine car, your engine produces a ton of heat. As such, fluid is used to take heat out of the engine so that engine doesn’t overheat and remains at an optimal temperature.
This coolant must then be cooled as well so that it can be reused without just putting heat back into the system. This is done using air. The critical component here is your radiator. The radiator is a finned heat exchanger. It is mounted at the front of your car and allows the air to flow through it as you are driving. Inside of the radiator, your coolant is flowing and the heat is transferred from the coolant to the air. So what exactly does your water pump do?
Your water pump is the heart of this entire system. The water pump is what pumps the coolant through the engine and through the radiator. It is what gets the coolant moving. Generally, your water pump is driven directly by the engine. Your serpentine belt will wrap around a pulley that turns your water pump. So if your Tesla, doesn’t have to cool an engine, then why does it have a water pump?
Do Teslas Have A Water Pump?
As we’ve previously mentioned, yes Teslas do have a water pump. Why is that? First off, while a Tesla may not have to cool an internal combustion engine, it does still have other critical components that it needs to cool. A radiator really is just a heat exchanger, and these can be used for a lot more than just cooling an engine.
As such, your Tesla has multiple radiators. These are used for things like cooling the and maintaining the temperature of your electric battery and for heat exchange in your HVAC system. Each separate cooling system requires some sort of power source that provides the circulation of fluid. The water pumps are what make this possible. So, not only do you have a water pump on your Tesla, but you have multiple water pumps.
As we’ve discussed, a Tesla is very different from a standard internal combustion car. The entire powertrain is completely different between the two. While there are huge differences between the two, a lot of similar technologies are shared between the two. For example, the radiator. There is a reason that radiators are still used in internal combustion cars today and have been used for decades.
That is because they are extremely efficient at transferring heat and utilizing the air around the car to do so. Because the technology works so well, it is a no brainer to also incorporate it into an electric car even if it’s to serve a very different purpose.
What Does The Water Pump Do In A Tesla?
So, what purpose does the water pump serve in a Tesla? As we’ve described, the purpose of a water pump is just to circulate coolant. This could be done for a variety of different reasons but it’s entire purpose is just to circulate fluid.
In the earlier days of internal combustion cars, the engines were cooled using just water. Instead of engine coolant like we have today, pure water was used. This was a cheap and simple solution but it offered several problems. First off, water freezes when it gets cold out. Your engine coolant freezing can cause damage to components from expansion and contraction and also prevent coolant from flowing while frozen.
Secondly, water can be pretty corrosive. Against certain materials, water can lead to rust and corrosion that can weak and cause components to fail. It was determined that something better needed to be implemented. And so anti-freeze was born. Antifreeze would not freeze at cold temperatures (as the name suggests) and was much kinder on the objects that were exposed to it. Today, cars are recommended to use a mixture of both water and engine coolant.
These early days of cars are what led to the name water pump. It literally was a pump for circulating water. Nowadays, the fluid that it is circulating isn’t necessarily water, but it serves the exact same purpose. It just continually circulates coolant throughout any given cooling system.
How Often Does A Water Pump Need To Be Replaced And How Much Does It Cost?
So, exactly how frequently should a water pump be changed out? Fortunately, water pumps last quite a long time on a Tesla. This is attributed to several factors. First off, your coolant doesn’t get nearly as hot in an electric car as it does in an internal combustion engine. As such, not only does your water pump last longer, but all of the other components in your cooling system including the coolant itself.
Secondly, your water pump is usually moving much less fluid than the water pump on an internal combustion engine. This reduced flow can put less stress on the water pump. Tesla water pumps should make at least 100,000 miles before needing to be replaced. A really good water pump could last you much longer than that as well.
So how much will it cost you to get the water pump replaced? This will vary from model to model, year to year, and depending on which water pump you are replacing. Teslas have both belt driven water pumps and electric water pumps. If one of the electric ones goes out, it will cost you a lot more money than for a belt driven one.
So, about how much will it cost you? Depending on which one failed, you will be looking at paying between $375 and $800 to get the water pump replaced. That includes the parts (water pump, seals, new coolant, etc.) as well as the labor to switch it out. While it is not outrageously expensive to get one replaced, it can still be quite a bit more expensive than on a normal internal combustion engine car. You will want to shop around though and see what prices are at the shops near where you live.
Signs Of A Bad Water Pump In A Tesla
So, how exactly can you tell when your water pump is going bad on your Tesla? Tesla water pumps are actually very robust and last quite a long time. Although, nothing can be perfect, they will eventually start to fail. There are some signs that you can notice that will tell you when it’s time to replace it.
The first and most obvious sign of a failing water pump is a puddle of coolant. You can see these collect on the ground underneath your car. While a coolant leak doesn’t necessarily mean that the water pump is the problem, it very well could be. You will need to take a look at your cooling system to determine where the leak is coming from. It could be coming from the radiator or radiator hoses as well.
The second sign would be that your coolant temperature is getting hotter than normal or even starting to overheat. Again, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the water pump is the culprit but it is a sign that something in your cooling system isn’t working right. It is likely time to take a look at everything and try to figure out what is going on.
Lastly, you may notice a sound from your water pump. This is generally the hardest sign to notice. If a bearing were to wear out and start to fail, you may start to hear a whirring or grinding sound as the water pump is turning. This likely won’t be extremely loud but it can be loud enough to hear if you listen closely. This would be a sign that it’s time to replace your water pump.
