Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi, and welcome to Just Answer. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will help the best I can. I may need to ask questions to better understand your concern.
Does the odometer work?
Does the shift indicators light up and are they showing all ranges selected?
No odometer or shift indicator. Tried another cluster panel and that didn't work either
Do you have a scan tool that can communicate with the BCM?
It did work, but it isn't illuminated to tell if it is working now.
No scan tool. I did have a code that suggest the transmission module may need replacing.
I'm gonna have to leave for a while. If you have any suggestion I'll check it in my EMail. I can drive the van to advanced auto and see if there are any updated codes if that would help your diagnosis.
Reading the Body control moduel codes would be good. I do have one thing for you to try that is going to sound weird but I have found this problem on another van before : Take the radio/AC control bezel of and disconnect the AC control head wiring connector and see if the cluster comes back on. I have found a bad pin on the AC control head that shorted the bus making the cluster not come on. It was strange but I fixed the van by replacing the ac control head for $100.
Disconnected the AC control module and still didn't help...
I meant AC control head wiring connector.... took all three connectors off behind the bezel and it still didn't help
Ok, it was worth a shot. If you can have the codes read it would be beneficial. The bcm controls the cluster, but I don't want to guess at it because they are very expensive and have to be bought new.
Is there anything else on the van that doesn't work besides the cluster. Lights, wipers, locks, etc. ?
Looking at the wiring diagrams and diagnostic manual there are only two other things that can make the cluster dead since you have already tryed a different cluster. The BCM and the two wires that the BCM and cluster communicate on (BUS).
Make sure the Vt/Br and Wt/Bk wires on the far left are good.
Why would the tcm code come up for this problem? Or do you believe it is unrelated? I took all the old solder off and put new solder on, gonna try the cluster again. I will check the wires you suggested for corrosion and continuity.
TCM could be a side effect of the bus not communicating. Bus communication is between all modules, engine, trans, bcm, hvac, etc.
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX the delay the bcm is more of a challenge than i anticipated. While I was trying to figure out how to get it down the thought occured to me that the cluster is getting voltage. Both black wires and the orange read 0. Both red read 12. The Brown and White are fluctuating between 5.3 and 6.2. I didn't know if this would help your thought process in condemning the cluster or the bcm. I am going to accept your advice, even if we don't resolve the problem. I appreciate your time. Does accepting the advice now terminate my session with you? I only tried this service once before and it wasn't a good experience.
No it doesn't terminate the session. You can post back to the same question even after accepting. Since you have already tried another cluster I am more likely to condemn the BCM, but I would wnat to see any trouble codes from the BCM before purchasing one. The critical part about the BCM is it has to be assigned to the vehicle and you can't try one from another vehicle. Once a new one is installed it cannot be returned either, and they are between $200-$300 so it is not a gueass that I wnat to make.
Actually it is 600 installed. I am get codes check back. Wires checked out good.
Two further symptoms I failed to mention is that the windshield wipers don't park and the abs light stays on.
Hi Tom,
A lot has happened since my last post.
I am 99 per cent sure the bcm is the culprit. I know you recommended a new one, but my budget can't reach it. I bought a used one with the same part number from a van with just 77,000 miles on it. I didn't install it, but took it to the dealer for programming and installation.
OK, here's the situation. I had previously seperated the bcm from the fuse box during the process of looking for the twisted pairs you wanted me to test. I never reconnected it, just left it hooked up to the lower wire connectors, but unplugged from the back of the fusebox. The van ran fine without it so I thought I'd save the dealer the time of removal.
He only had it in the shop fifteen minutes and came out telling me, "bus failure". He said, I would have to bring it back another day and leave it for an extensive process of finding a loose connection or bad wire that was causing the bus failure. Some techs give you a good feeling, this guy didn't give me a good feeling.
Is it possible the unplugged bcm caused the bus failure? I mean, I'm no tech but when I reinstalled the original bcm and took it to Advanced auto they read the codes fine. It said, "no codes", not, "bus failure". I was honestly waiting for the girl at Advanced to shake her head and tell me she couldn't get a reading. You should have seen the look on my face when she said "no codes". I was puzzled. She thought I didn't believe her because she was female and stuck the reading in my face so I could see it for myself.
Well, ok, there is the answer to an original question you had, there are no codes in the computer. At least, not from the Advanced auto reader.
OK, here's my dilemna, I'm dying to find out if this bcm will solve my dash cluster issues but I don't want to risk messing it up installing it without programming it first.
I don't know if I have to reprogram the bcm I purchased before I install it, or if it can be programmed after I install it.
I understand that the odometer reading is stored in the bcm. Will the dealer be able to recover the original odometer reading from the van and program it into the one I purchased so the van will have actual milage recorded?
Ok, there is one more issue I want your opinion on. The dash lights flicker constantly could this be from a faulty bcm as well?
Thanks, I appreciate your help.
I didn't expect a reply over the holiday weekend, that is fine.
Tom, I thought experts would all say the same thing. It would sure help us novice mechanics in decision making if they did. I know there are difference of opinion on how to approach certain jobs, or what to do first or check first, but whether or not a used bcm with the same part number can be used shouldn't be a matter of opinon. I know what you said in your earlier post. I have read many other posts from highly qualified techs that disagree with your assertion that the bcm has to be new. Even the dealer I took it to had no problem with a used bcm. How is a fellow to lknow what is for sure.
The van with the dangling bcm was returned to me as I delivered it to them.
I can't imagine this fellow would have instaledl the bcm I bought, ran the test, and then reinstalled the original and left it dangling from the fusebox the way I had it originally.
Could the dangling bcm have caused a bus failure?
Could the failed bcm cause flickering dashlights?
I have stated I am 99 percent sure the bcm is at fault. Given everything we have been through so far, how sure would you be?
Thanks for your input.
No Tom, I don't want another expert. I believe you. I just wanted you to understand my confusion.
I hope I'm not wearing on your patience. Truely I am trying simply to get to the root of my problem without wasting money. Which doesn't seem to be working so well. I'm out almost 200 dollars and still spinning my wheels... For which I accept the blame for buying the used bcm. I didn't realize I could get a bad dodge tech.
Seriously at this point I just want the van fixed. What questions do I ask the dealer to assure he knows what he is doing and will resolve my problem without further wasting my time or money?
You say you believe, it is a bus issue. Do you believe the new bcm will resolve the bus issue? If not, should the bus issue be resolved before the new bcm is installed.
Thank you for your advice on the flickering lights.
Because the van was delivered to me with a dead cluster I don't know the exact odometer reading. Can they retrieve it from the old bcm? If not how shall they know which bcm to order.
If I could, I'd drive it to your shop and let you have at it...
Thank you for you time, I will compensate you, I know your time is valuable.
Sorry if I sounded impatient. Yes the BCM should correct the bus problem. The odometer reading can be read off of the PCM as well since you don't know it from the cluster. It would be best to ask a dealer that the Level 4 tech in body electrical, (skill area 6) works on your van. They should have the proper training to handle this type of work. Unfortunately not all Chrysler techs are at the training level that they should be. That is not necessarily their fault since the dealer is the one who sends them to training.
The Junk Yard has agreed to refund the money. They still contend it's a plug and go, only the milage would be different. However when I sent them a copy of your post they conceded to a refund.
All the advice you have given me has been right on and deeply appreciated. I read last night that I can send my bcm away and have it refurbished. What is your experience, with a with refurbished bcm?
Tom. Already got the refund from the junk yard. Which is a blessing because I never dreamed they would refund it.
Still curious as to whether you think refurbishing my bcm is a good way to go. The refurbisher stated because it was already programmed to my car it wouldn't need to be reprogrammed and they would recover the lost milage. The entire cost is only 199 and I can install it myself. The dealer wants 600 dollars to install a new one. If it were your call what would you do?
Hey Tom,
I just want you to know that I am not requesting a refund from Just Answer for the accepted answers. These folks are talking in so many circles I'm having a hard time following them. I enrolled in the unlimited plan when I accepted your response the first time. I accepted your responses twice after that. Then I noticed my credit card was being charged each time. I am only trying to get them to honor the unlimited agreement and refund the two charges that were erroneous.
I don't know how this effects your compensation. They are making it sound like I didn't realize there were three transactions and they are doing me a favor by refunding two of them. That's bogus, I knew exactly what I was doing.
I even sent them a copy of the EMail they sent me confirming the unlimited subscription May 18th.
I may need you help in the future. I don't want you to feel I've renegged in anyway.
If they aren't compensating you right, please let me know.
I just felt you should hear my side of the story, I'm still pondering the van, haven't really done anything since the last post.

The Mayor, who was being questioned by the Commons Transport Committee about the disruption, accused MPs of "unnecessary political bias" before attempting to walk out of the meeting. He was briefly coaxed back to his seat by the committee's Labour chairman, Louise Ellman, who described his behaviour as "unacceptable". After giving curt answers to two further questions, the Mayor left his seat, only returning to pick up his coat from an official.
Heated exchanges took place from the very start, when Ms Ellman suggested that Mr Johnson had allowed London's transport network to shut down in a way that did not happen elsewhere. All of London's bus network, parts of the Tube and some local train services were affected by the severe weather. Her comments provoked an angry response from Mr Johnson, who said that "huge effort and huge preparations" had been made to grit roads, but that more snow kept falling. "It is not within my competence to stop the biggest downfall of snow we have had over the skies of this city for 20 years," he said.
The Mayor's rapidly diminishing patience then gave way altogether when he described David Clelland, Labour MP for Tyne Bridge, as "pathetic" for accusing him of failing in his duties.
The exchange came after Valerie Shawcross, the Labour chairwoman of the London Assembly's transport committee, had told the MPs that the Mayor had been "entirely out of things" when the effects of the snow were at their worst in the early hours of 2 February.
Mr Johnson also faced criticism over his expenses yesterday after a City Hall audit revealed he had spent eight times more a day on taxis than his predecessor, Ken Livingstone.
Taxpayers picked up his cab bill of £1,501 between November and the end of January. Susan Kramer, the Liberal Democrat MP for Richmond Park, criticised the expenses claim. She said: "Any Londoner could have told him that it is often quicker to travel by Tube, like the rest of us."
A spokeswoman for Mr Johnson said: "The Mayor cycles every day – to and from work and to almost every one of his meetings. Many of those however are in remote parts of outer London – areas which often feel neglected by the previous mayoralty which he is determined to visit on a regular and persistent basis."
The spokeswoman added: "Though the Mayor invariably uses public transport when he cannot take his bike, there are times – regretfully – when his tight schedule makes it necessary to use a taxi."
London MPs criticised the Mayor earlier this year after the public picked up a £1,000 transport tab to take him and his team home after a meeting in Hillingdon, west London. A spokesman for the Mayor said that the meeting ran late into the night.

Hardiplank and new windows
Hello to all,I just discovered this site and could use some advice. I'm doing a garage remodel and ordered Hardiplank siding(I dont like vinyl,though the rest of my house is). A problem I can see that I'm going to have is that my new windows have what's called an "integrated J channel" built in. What this is is a 7/8"gap between the nailing flange and the attached window casing/trim.The channel is meant for the siding to tuck into behind the trim.This is all well and good,it will make for a nice clean installation. The problem is that with the siding ends behind the trim and in this channel I wont be able to caulk. Any suggestions on how I might flash this, or other ideas? The other problem,which I spoke to the window manufacturer about, is that this channel is not wide enough to accomodate both foamboard and the siding,so I guess no foam on this project. But thats another story. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Generally, all windows (like you described) are installed with exterior casing trim around the window. That 3/4" casing slides under the flange surrounding the window. The siding is then "butted" into the casing trim. It is not butted into the window itself.
Thank you,Atlanticwbconst. I had already figured that as an option. The problem with that is that Hardiplank (I believe) requires 5/4 trim and the channel gap is only 7/8. I guess I will have to sand or rout off some of the trim to fit into the channel . Right? I don't believe this was the window makers intent,but that's what I'll have to do.
Hardiplank does not require a 5/4 trim, a 3/4" trim is perfectly acceptable and will slide nicely into that 7/8" channel on your window then allowing you to butt the siding directly into the 3/4" trim. The siding is 5/16" thick, two layers will only protrude 5/8" leaving it 1/8" short of the face of the 3/4" Hardi-Trim.
As mentioned already - Hardie-Plank does not require 5/4 Trim.
I got some bad advice then.My siding is on order,I've never even seen the stuff so I've not had any to play around with.My local lumber yard told me that I needed to use 5/4 trim, and the 1/8 differance between the Hardiplank overlap(5/8) and the 3/4 trim did'nt seem like enough.Needless to say I've already got most of the trim done in 5/4 so I guess I'm stuck with it. I'm thinking that maybe I'll try the siding tucked into the J channel or use 3/4 trim around the windows with some sort of molding at the edge to mmatch the thickness of the 5/4 trim.
we are redoing a barn that we have and would like to know if the hardiplank would be a good source to use or should we stick with pressure treated plywood?
You actually got good advice when told to use 5/4 trim. Since you have the integrated j-channel around your windows, you need trim that is thicker than the j-moulding, so as to be able to cover it up, and run a bead of sealant around it to seal it off. You can only do that if the trim is wider than the window's j-channel. If the trim was exactly as wide as the integrated j-channel is, you'd have a sloppy mess if you tried to caulk that seam.
Additionally, the hardiplank will look great with the 5/4 trim, I use it all the time. But 5/4 thick trim is not "required" in every case. But it sounds like based on the type of windows you have, they suggested the best thickness for you.
Tucking the hardipanel into the integrated j-channel is a terrible idea because the edges could never be caulked and the perimeter of the window would then become an entry point for water to get behind your siding.
Good to know X-sleeper and thanks because i've been in a bit of a funk about this. The idea of slipping the siding behind the J-channel did'nt appeal to me either due to what you outlined. I thoughtI would try to do something extra with a flashing if I went that route.Would I be better off to A).Use 3/4 trim around around the windows,which would slip into the J-channel and fir out trim edge to match 5/4,(no problem caulking) B).Use 5/4 trim at windows but rout inside edge so it fits behind J-channel, or C).Butt 5/4 trim up to casing on outside of J-channel. ?? Option C seems to be what you are recommending, but that leaves the 7/8 J-channel empty.I'm not misunderstanding , am I?
I know this post is quite old, but recently I have run into the same issue. I am not trying to jack your thread anything , but I am new to forums & whenever I do a search this thread and another keep coming up. I can't seem to find the final verdict of what anyone did to complete the task or maybe I am just missing it.
White29, it seems logical that you ended up butting the trim to the window to create the window casing instead of slipping it into the J channel, since that what it looks like in the pics that AtlanticWBConst. posted, but if you could please clarify if that was the case? Also, what kind of a gap did you use for caulk? Has the method that you used held up to the weather?
One reason for the trim around the windows
If you ever need to replace the windows, you only pull the trim off
If you butt up to the window, you then need to remove siding to replace a window
Scuba_Dave, I agree with you and I think it looks better too. So, do u think butting the trim against the window with a 3/16" gap and caulking that is better than routering the trim to fit into my 1/2" j channel is better?
Are you siding with hardi plank - cement board ?
I have not used any J channel on my house w/Hardi boards
Yes, it was going to be CraneBoard CB7 vinyl siding, but decided to go with Hardi plank after the windows were installed. I started a new thread if this helps. Labeled: Help! Casings around window with integrated J channel? http://www.diychatroom.com/f19/help-...channel-72295/

Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice from Boston Baroque
• Listen to the Operavore stream
Of Gluck's two interpretations of the Orpheus story, Orphée, the French version, is probably the more striking — with a famous, bravura aria and couple of well-know ballet numbers. But the Italian version Orfeo ed Euridice was the original and is widely regarded as Gluck's masterpiece. Its premiere in 1762, was a landmark event in 18th century musical theater.
On World of Opera, host Lisa Simeone presents Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice in a production by Boston Baroque, presented in Jordan Hall at the New England Conservatory. The stars are countertenor Owen Willetts and soprano Mary Wilson in the title roles, in a performance led by conductor Martin Pearlman.
Orfeo: Owen Willetts (countertenor)
Euridice: Mary Wilson (soprano)
Amor: Courtney Huffman (soprano)

My kitty L-O-V-E-S these! His favorite is the blue pom pom and jingle bell. Wish I could order that specific one every time, but the description does state "assorted" only (even the pet stores have tried), so I'm crossing my fingers with this online order. Yes, my kitty disects them, and eats the fur, and pulls of the feathers, but that's how cats play! It's not a toy defect, necessarily. The toys eventually end up with just the plastic cap or the bell on the string, but he just keeps dragging them around like a prize (or a reminder to play) - adorable! When he pulls the feathers off, we leave them be and he eventually goes back and plays/chews/eats those too. When I'm lucky enough to find one of his favorites in the store, he goes bonkers as soon as I step foot in the house - no kidding.

OK, yes the feathers came off right away. My cat hates feathers anyway. This thing is by far her favorite toy (and she has plenty!) She loves the soft furry pompoms and this one....on a string......she's in love. She begs to play. She even drags this thing over to you and meows until you play with her. I'm buying more as back-up! No cat toy is indestructible.

I have a 8 year old cat that is addicted to these. They used to be very easy to find - WalMart, Kmart, Petsmart, Petco, dollar store - they all had these for about a dollar. Now they are next to impossible to find. I ordered all they had available here when I placed my order. My cat has seperation anxiety and uses these to self comfort. He carries them around in his mouth, crying, until he drops it in the place he last saw us - then he goes to sleep. Absolutely nothing else helps him. He also likes to play with us with this toy. It is not the sturdiest toy, the tip easily breaks off, but we just tie it back on a bit lower on the stick. I don't usually leave a toy with a string (stretchy tho it may be) around a cat unsupervised, but this cat never bothers the string part, even in play, he is just interested in holding the toy part in his mouth. He does sometimes "strum" the string to make the bell jingle. Too cute.

Sun Yat-sen's Former Residence is a two-floor brick-wood structure building with Chinese and western architecture styles at the same time.
The out look is obviously western style. There are seven red decorative arches at the top floor of this building. In the middle of the roof, a halo with a flying eagle with a coin in its mouth is decorated. The inside of Sun Yat-sen's Former Residence is totally with a Chinese style: a lobby in the middle, and two rooms on the two sides. The walls are made up of pale bricks with white lines on it. The two windows are opened right opposite to the roof beam. There are revolving doors in four directions in the living room, the revolving doors all lead to the street outside. A couplet on the gate says: roof beam in the right place, people live happily. It is said that this couplet was written by Mr.SunYesen himself after the building's completion. A well is at the right side of the yard, place around this well was the former house in which Mr.SunYesen was born. He was born here in December 11th, 1866.
Tips for visitors:
(1) Sun Yat-sen's Former Residence is next to the Cuiheng Exit in Guangzhou-Zhuhai Section of Beijing –Zhuhai high way. Driving to south, it only takes you 5 minutes to Zhuhai, driving to north, it takes you about 1 hour to Guangzhou.
(2) It takes about 20 minutes from Sun Yat-sen's Former Residence to Zhongshan Passengers' Port.

Charles John Joughin, Titanic's chief baker
Charles John Joughin, Titanic's chief baker was born in Patten Street, West Float, Birkenhead, Cheshire, England, on August 3, 1878, went to sea at age 11, later becoming chief baker on various White Star Line steamships.
After surviving the Titanic disaster, he returned to England, and was one of the crew members who reported to testify at the British Inquiry headed by Lord Mersey.
In 1920, Joughin moved permanently to the United States to Paterson, New Jersey. Later he was also saved from the S.S. Oregon, which sank in Boston Harbour. Before retiring in 1944, he served on various ships operated by American Export Line as well as WWII troop transports.
He divorced shortly thereafter, however, a daughter Agnes was born from that marriage. After moving back to New Jersey, he remarried Mrs. Annie E. Ripley, and together raised Annie's daughter Rose.
Annie's death in 1943 was a great loss from which he never recovered. 12 years later he described his experiences in a chapter of Walter Lord's book, A Night to Remember.
Soon afterwards, his health rapidly declined, dying in a Paterson hospital on December 9, 1956 after two weeks with pneumonia at the age of 78 being buried alongside his wife in the Cedar Lawn Cemetery, Paterson, New Jersey.
His daughter Agnes never married and has passed away. His stepdaughter Rose, now Mrs. Henry Stoer, still resides in New Jersey.

.300 wsm vs .308 win
Main purpose of the rifle will be hunting, long distance range sessions and an all out "what if" rifle
Remington's web site has software that calculates ballistics and energy for different calibers. Its free, and should give you all the information you need to make an educatd decision
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. ~Samuel Adams~
thanks good info to read there...
still if anyone has any experience please share
I recently purchased my first bolt gun. I was debating between .308 and 300 WSM. My thoughts were one rifle that could easily go out beyond 1000 yds (at say like Blackwater).
Well...after a long and arduous process, I decided on .308. Many more match loads available, much less recoil and report (as I am told), much longer barrel life.
I ended up with a FN SPR A3 .308 with a test target of .315 MOA.
Now, I am not really a rifle guy. But even the local SWAT guys were telling me not to go with the 300WSM. That kinda waived me off. Now if I was a handloader and rifle person, maybe my decision would have been different.
But to date, I am thrilled with my purchase.
It is pretty hard to beat the power of the 300 WSM for hunting. My son has a Tikka in 300 WSM and it is great for hunting but it is not an overall fun rifle to take to the range to shoot due to the recoil. I'd choose the .308 if you were going to shoot it a lot.
.308 has been the gold standard of long range shooting for years- probably why the SWAT guys recomended it. The SOF community @ Ft Bragg is starting to go to the 300WSM. 3SFG just took delivery of a bunch of them last month.
The pros of the 308 as I see it would be avalibility of ammunition, longer barrel life, and easier recoil.
I like the ballistics of the 300WSM better, it shoots flatter and hits harder. Barrel life is shorter- if you shoot a LOT. It takes about 1500 rounds to burn a Magnum barrel to the point that accuracy is affected.
A muzzle brake is a great way to manage recoil.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. ~Samuel Adams~
I too like the ballistics of the 300WSM. But my opinions are from a non-rifle guy so I wasn't sure how valid my position was.
Somewhere alone the way, I somehow thought the recoil of the .308 was very smilier with the 300WSM. Kinda important when shooting 400 rounds at gun school.
One of my SWAT/sniper buddies literally started laughing at that notion. Told me a story of how he had seen a civilian show up with a 300WSM for a rifle class. As I was told, this user was in major discomfort within a few hours. If I remember correctly, user ended up switching/borrowing someone else's backup.
Since I am a novice just trying to learn, I figured that would be one less hassle I needed to deal with.
Keep up posted on what you get. Maybe a pic?
I think I will dig out a pic of my rig post it in this thread.
You'll be happier with the .308. It's inherently more accurate, and is plenty for any game in North America - with proper shot placement, it will kill any animal a .300 WSM can. Also, I've owned 2 .300 WSM's, a Winchester M70, and a Browning A-Bolt Sporter - both of them had a lot more recoil than the relatively mild .308. Also, the .308 is going to be a lot easier, and cheaper, to reload for. Brass will last longer, as well as your barrel. Factory ammo is also going to be a lot easier to find, especially match grade ammo. Even though the .308 is an inherently more accurate cartridge than the WSM, you'll almost certainly be more accurate with it, as flinch won't be as much as a factor, since you won't be dealing with magnum recoil. I've heard people state that the WSM kicks a lot less than the .300 Win Mag, and feels about like a .30-06... well, IMO, it kicks quite a bit harder than a .30-06, and just a tad less than the .300 Win Mag - My favorite long range hunting round. Whatever you do choose, if you get a Magnum, do yourself a favor, and purchase a rifle with a good muzzle brake, or have a gunsmith install one for you, Surefire makes some nice .30 cal ones.
If you're only going to be using it for hunting - don't worry about the extra knockdown power of the WSM - because unless you get a heavy barreled, match grade target rifle, neither one will be up to the challenge of shooting a deer more than 500 yards off, humanely that is. If you do buy a heavy barreled match grade target/varmint rifle, then you can utilize the extra downrange energy of the WSM.. but a 22" thin barreled "sporter" is probably going to shoot 1.5 - 2 MOA out of the box - and will not easily group in the vitals past 500 yds.

Are you set on a .30 caliber bullet? If so then quit reading.
If I were wanting a "what if" rifle, which says to me do anything rifle, then you might look into a .338 Remington Ultra Mag.
It has been called the poor man's .338 Lapua. If setup right it should handle all types of distances and be a good hunting gun. I understand that ammo can be expensive but if you reload you should be in good shape.
A Remington 700 XCR in .338 RUM will be my next rifle. Unless someone decides to mass produce the .35-300 mag in an "affordable" package.
The 338 round is used by the british snipers. I hunt with the 338win mag and i pick up blackbears and slam them down. I never had to look for a wounded bear yet.
Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! LOL... Man, I bet sight-in day is fun for you two! lol.. I'd only own one of those calibers if the rifles were equipped with decent muzzle brakes... I like to practice with my hunting rifles, not just shoot them when I'm hunting... and man, .338 RUM - talk about some expensive rounds! IMHO, there's no big game in North America, grizzly bear, brown bear, etc, that cannot be easily taken with a .300 Win Mag with good bullets... But I see what you mean about "picking them up and slamming them down" lol, that would be a little bit confidence inspiring
A friend of mine has an Armalite AR30 in .338 Lapua Mag, and with it's factory muzzle brake, feels about like shooting 12 Ga. 2.75" 00 Buck - not bad at all... and man, when that thing hits a target, dear Lord, - the words "decimate" and "obliterate" come to mind
"A government big enough to give you what you want, is strong enough to take what you have." -Thomas Jefferson
I currently shoot a 700 24" bull barrel .308. While I love this set up, my next rifle will be a .338 Lapua (AI?) based upon the energy and accuracy beyond 1,000 meters. BC is impressive for the weight and dimensions of the round. There's plenty of factory match available. With a good muzzle brake, recoil is very manageable. Have fun, whatever you end up shooting.
Cry Havoc.... and let slip the Dogs of War.
Shakespeare: Julius Caesar, Act III, Scene I
Yes, the .308 can be accurate, but, one would be hard pressed to say the .300 is inherently 'less accurate'
When I said that my next gun would be a .338 RUM, I meant that it would be next unless someone dumped a Lapua .338 in my lap at a price I couldn't refuse.
I've gone through almost exactly the same process recently, and I also chose a .308 (Savage). I could not be happier with the performance of the rifle, and the caliber. It's true that .300 WSM or .300 Win Mag can get you out to even 1200 and beyond, but that's one of those things that sounds good on paper, and then you come back down to earth. Obviously having rifles of that kind of power and range may be a lot of fun, and also would be very useful if you were either (a) a military sniper (LE would not need this kind of range, usually), or (b) a hunter taking large tough game at very long ranges.
For me, I ultimately went with the .308 because:
* .308 has all the power I need. It would take everything that I would want to hunt in the lower 48 states.
* For long distance shooting, .308 does just fine out to 800 yards, and can even do fine up to 1000 but you have to set up your optics and ammo right, and it takes some practice.
* Barrel life. A .308 for some reason is an optimal cartridge for managing powder burn efficiently, and usually you can get 5K to 10K rounds out of a .308 barrel, while it's common to get less than half that out of most other calibers.
* Recoil of .308 is far more manageable. With a good brake, a .308 recoils just a bit harder than a .223, certainly not even as hard as a .243. With the .308, I could shoot all day, for fun. Shooting all day with a .300 win mag or .300 WSM would NOT be fun, not for your shoulder, anyway!
* Greyson makes some other good points: cost and availability of ammo for .308 is far better than the other options.
Obviously if you have the funds, "buy both" is a good option that's always music to a gun owner's ears. The .300 win mag and WSM are great calibers, and they exist because they're useful for some purposes. But the .308 is also great, and is more widespread than the other two for good reasons, some of which I've listed above. If you have to choose one or the other, and this is going to be your first "all-purpose" sort of rifle as you said, then personally I would (and did) start with the .308. Every serious rifleman needs at least one .308 in their collection. If you get the .308 and later decide you need more range and power, you can add the .300 WSM at that point.

What I meant was, if someone doesn't handload, and all you have available is factory ammo, to my knowledge, there isn't any factory .300 WSM ammo that can generally match .308 Win match ammo... it can, but so much time and development has went into making the .308 what it is today, the .300 WSM has a long ways to go before getting to be as popular as the .308 for match shooters. Also, for 99.8% of shooters out there, they will be significantly more accurate with a .308, as flinch will be a lot less of a problem, than dealing with the enormous blast and (depending on rifle weight) significant recoil from the .300 WSM and other magnum calibers.
Just my opinion - unless you are hunting deer at 600+ yards, going after plains buffalo, or want to go on a safari in Africa to take a lion or something, the .308 is just a better choice.
"A government big enough to give you what you want, is strong enough to take what you have." -Thomas Jefferson
Not a lot of 300 WSM fans in this thread. I went through the .30 caliber bolt rifle buying process a couple years ago. My final decision was 300WSM because I saw it as the best fit for what I hunt and because I reload. My favorite factory ammo is the winchester supreme ballistic silvertip because I can get .75 groups at 100 yards with it and I love the nickel casings for reloads. Unfortunately though it costs me 50-60 bucks for 20 rounds and if I didn't reload I would have bought a .308 or 06 because the ammo is more affordable and easy to find. And yes the .300 is punishing to zero due to the recoil.
For most applications the .308 can do everything the .300 WSM can do and is more economical.
Semper FI
"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem."
Long distance range sessions will be a little easier with the .300 because it will be affected by the wind slightly less than the .308 and will go a little farther. Recoil of the .300 will make those range sessions seem longer.
And reiterating previous posts, the availability of a greater variety of ammunition will make the .308 more of a "'what if' rifle".
The big problem you will run into no matter which caliber you decide on, is that a rifle well suited for hunting is generally not well suited for long distance range sessions and vice-versa. Long distance guns usually have heavy barrels to slow the heating process and are cumbersome to carry in the hunting field. Lightweight rifles well suited for hunting will heat up more quickly at the range, resulting in vertical stinging of your shots.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I ignored the compass part as I will have to "swing" the compass anyway.
The oiling of the chain and cables is pretty universal, unless otherwise specified, and it isn't. Put rags or a large disposable turkey roaster under the pedestal to catch the oil that will run down the chain as you lube it from the top, then wipe it with clean rag to remove the excess oil.
Only part I haven't discovered, or asked about yet, is how to regrease the two bearings. There is one screw aft and one foreward, I suspect they are retaining screws for the spindle, and may also be lube points.
Maybe someone here can fill us in on that? I'm sure there are still lots of Yacht Specialty units around that people have worked on.
Thanks, BSfree. Based on the work you have done so far on it, are you fairly confident that the Edson and Yacht Specialties pedestals are similar enough that the Edson approach will work?
It seems the most delicate part is taping the compass/pedestal to ensure that the compass can be reinstalled in the same location.
Thanks again,
I also have a Yacht Specialties pedestal on my Challenger 32 and, having just replaced the engine control cables, am also about to lube the chain. The method Edson advocates is what I will use, and I reproduce here for you.
To properly maintain the moving parts in the top of the pedestal, it is
necessary to remove the compass and its cylinder. For proper
alignment when re-installing the compass, we recommend placing
three or four lengths of tape on the pedestal and compass as shown
below. Slit the tape when removing compass, align the strips of tape
when re-installing the compass for visual realignment. Your compass
MUST then be checked out for accuracy. Lubrication of needle
bearings should be done by squeezing Edson Part No. 827 Teflon
Lubricant into the holes located on top of the bearing housings
inside the pedestal bowl. Spin the wheel when squeeezing the
lubricant in to make sure the entire bearing is serviced. Winch grease
or water pump grease can be used as an alternative, but don't let the
bearings run dry. Do not over grease as it will run onto the brake
pads. Oil the chain with #30 weight motor oil. Do NOT grease chain
as it does not penetrate the links.
Inspect the condition of the wire, tension of the wire and lightly
oil. Edson recommends placing about five layers of "Kleenex" on the
palm of your hand, squirt oil on the tissues and lightly oil the wire.
This will lubricate the strands but will also "flag" a broken or hooked
strand by tearing off a small section of tissue. If you do have a wire
break, replace the wire immediately. See Edson Part No. 775 Wire and
Chain Replacement Kits.
(Caution: Wire splinters can cause painful
cuts.) Replace the wire after 5 years. If still good, keep the old wire on
board as a spare.
You should check out the Edson site as it has much useful information regarding wheel steering.
Hope this helps.
Maintenance question: pedestal lubrication
I would like to lubricate the chain that I understand runs inside the pedestal of my wheel steering system. The pedestal was apparently made by Yacht Specialties, who are no longer in business. It has a compass mounted on top.
I am hoping that if I carefully remove the screws holding the compass on top of the pedestal and remove the compass, I'll see the chain running on a small gear. Am I right, or is there more to this than I think.
Any comments or advice would be welcome.
ps. I am referring to the pedestal in the cockpit, to which the steering wheel is attached, not to any of the steering mechanism below the cockpit--ie. cables, quadrant, etc.

The Hands Back Hitter is a simple, affordable, highly instructive training aid. And to insure that you will practice often, it makes you a better hitter while you are having fun. This hitting aid ingrains the absolutes of hitting in every hit. The inventors took the key elements common to all power hitters and created a portable batting station that transforms the hopelessly flawed swing into the perfect swing in 4 easy steps
Uses ALL type balls real and plastic; baseball or softball. It works best with golf-sized plastic wiffle balls or 3" plastic baseballs. The unique popper design allows the operator to adjust pitch height for any type ball. The same unit assembles for righties and lefties. It comes with an extra string, 12 medium weight plastic balls, and a CD-ROM training disc. This patented pitching machine / batting tee hybrid controls the swing sequence for teaching rotational hitting and opposite field mechanics. Extremely durable and used from LL to D-1 Programs.
The Hands Back Hitter creates the perfect sequence of hands back, soft balanced stride, and rotational swing to handle all pitches, especially curve balls and change-ups. It will eliminate late striding, swinging during your stride, lunging, and pulling balls foul. This device forces the batter to hit the ball deeper over the plate every time, making it easier to go opposite field to hit behind runners.
The Hands Back Hitter is the perfect hitting station for all playing levels and it provides safe and effective practice, even in limited space. It can be used for hours of unsupervised practice in the backyard. The Hands Back Hitter, the affordable, portable, personal batting station that keeps them training and swinging right even when you're not there.
How It Works
Place a ball on the launcher. With a normal stride, the batter sets the ball into motion by stepping on a string (firing cord). The ball will appear in the hitting zone with the hitter in the correct timing sequence...hands back, foot down, hips launching the swing.
The Hands Back Hitter corrects hitting flaws. The offset tee position makes you contact the ball between the balls of your feet. The resistor arch makes you stride carefully to balance softly on the lead toe. The vertical popper elevates the ball after the front foot is down, creating the timing sequence of the early stride. The front toe down on the string and the heel up sets the stage for bat launch through hip rotation. Feel and teach how to load/coil your body as you stride to hit and the effortless power that comes from torque.
A Free Hitting CD is included which teaches hitters to 1) Keep hands back 2) Stride to balance and 3) Fire the hips. Also includes 100 instructional slides along with video clips.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do you do for LH batters?
The same unit assembles for either RH or LH.
Can you change it over?
You can but it takes about 3-4 minutes and most coaches buy two (2) for team practice because of the price......it just saves time and you can run two stations at once.
What balls do I use?
It comes with 12 light weight plastic balls but you can use real baseballs, softballs, and golf ball wiffles too.
What powers it?
There is a patented spring popper that allows height adjustment for all weight balls...it doesn't need electricity. You can use it in the rain.
Will the string wear out?
We recommend no cleats, but strings have not been a problem. The Hands Back Hitter comes with a free second string just in case.
How will I know how to use it?
It comes with a Training CD with about 100 slides with some streaming video. If you do not have a computer it has pictures with instructions in the assembly guide and coaching tips.
What ages and gender?
It adjusts for arm length and the long trigger area allows the batter to move up and away about 14 inches with no adjustment between batters required. Very athletic 6-7 year-old kids learn well and the Hands Back Hitter is used by players up to and through college.
How hard is it to assemble?
NO TOOLS are needed. All you have to do is tighten 4 knobs with your hands. The popper is pre-assembled.
Yes, we want them to work more slowly, concentrating on balance, stride, load, etc. This is what makes this trainer so good. Swinging in rapid succession makes for upper body hitters.

This is what my wife found in our 2011 Q5 3.2 Premium Plus today. Following an all night and all morning soaking rain, the entire passenger side floor is covered in rainwater. It's leaking in behind the center stack, coming out as a small rivulet in the upper left corner of the passenger footwell area.
Beautiful, isn't it?
What's even more awesome is that this is now the fourth time this has been spotted in our Q5 in the last two months.
Rewind to the beginning of the ordeal and we discovered water under the passenger side floor mat on a few occasions and then the AC died in the car. Putting the two things together, we assumed (wrongly, it turns out) that this was AC condensation leaking on to the floor and that the system had a clogged drain. Since we also noticed water coming in on that fateful morning when we moved the vehicle after it had sat out in the rain, we thought perhaps a drain was clogged that did dual duty. We talked to Audi Customer Care to get a case started and then made a service appointment.
The first trip to the Audi dealer in Annapolis turned up the usual: no loaner car, no parts available and it would have to come back in. Since it was over 100º, the service manager did get his team to get some very basic cooling working for my wife.
A week later, parts were in and my wife took the car back for repair and got a loaner. We both let the dealership and Customer Care know that the car could stay as long as needed to truly assess the problem and had our blessing to fully soak the vehicle to double check. The dealership took a few days, replaced the AC motor and blower fan unit (we were told) and said all was well.
Until the next rain storm, when the floor was soaked yet again.
Since the AC was still working, we knew that this could not be condensation. Customer Care got another call and another appointment was made, this time with a driver to get the vehicle and drop off a loaner. A few days went by and the determination that the cowl cover for the rain water drainage under hood was not adhered properly and would be replaced with a new part. The car was returned again with the promise that all was well.
And this was what we found this morning:
Throughout this process, we have made very clear to Audi Customer Care that we are not comfortable with the fact that standing water has been in the vehicle off and on for over two months (that we've noticed) and that this could lead to a) problems with all center stack components plus mold, mildew and corrosion in the footwell and b) that this would make for a resale nightmare. We find this entire experience to be completely unacceptable for a $50K+ vehicle that's been well cared for and is only 1 and a half years old.
So now my question is: beyond Customer Care, what can I do to escalate this case and get a conversation started about vehicle replacement? What would you long-time Audi folks recommend?

REVIEW STAFF

After six months of construction and two years of planning, the new Lynden Library branch is expected to open next week. Officials are unable to pinpoint the exact date of opening as hydro and network issues remain unresolved.

Karen Anderson, director of public services at the Hamilton Public Library (HPL), said last-minute issues will hopefully be cleared soon, leading to the opening of the new brick, one-storey building at the corner of Lynden Road and Albert Street sometime next week.

The $1.6-millon, 4,000-square-foot building is designed to meet the needs of both the Rockton and Lynden communities.

The former Lynden branch, which operated since 1972 from a large house located further south on Lynden Road, is closed and the Rockton branch, located on Old Highway 8 in Rockton, had its last day of service on Dec. 20.

A new weekly Bookmobile began serving Rockton on Jan. 3 and will stop every Thursday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the old township hall.

The new branch is twice the size of the old Lynden and Rockton branches combined and its hours of operation have been expanded from 27 to 35 hours a week.

Its features include more public computers and free WiFi access, bigger and brighter areas for children and teens, a community "Living Room" space, individual and group study space, and improved accessibility.

A grand opening ceremony, featuring speeches by local dignitaries including Ward 14 councillor Robert Pasuta, is planned for Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 2 p.m. On Sat. Feb. 2, an all-day community celebration with family-oriented activities will be held to further mark the building's completion and opening.

I have wanted perm makeup for years. We moved to an active adult community in SC and I went to a perm makeup seminar...I was convinced. I had eyeliner upper and lower and eyelash enhancement done...very painful even with topical anesthetic. 90% of color was gone after a week and I followed directions exactly. My hair is auburn and my eyebrows are gray and are solid looking, no soft feather strokes.
I go back in 5 weeks but have a feeling I will not get good results. Any recommendations on a perm makeup expert in NJ?

Welcome to my Motorcycle Riding Blog!
I've been riding motorcycles since 1970. Some of you may remember me at Rio Bravo Motorcycle park riding the 250 intermediate class in the mid '70s. I rode a Suzuki RM250 number 22 then. Fast forward 40 years and now I ride the back roads of Texas on my Harley Davidson Road Glide Ultra named "Scarlett". I'm always accompanied by my wife of 30 years and together we ride with close friends or our church group.
With this website I'm documenting the motorcycle rides we take around Texas and the United States. Here you will find Texas route maps, lodging that I recommend, taco huts, burger joints, greasy spoons, and BBQ shacks along the way. I also like to discuss motorcycle safety and strategies you can use when riding motorcycle routes in the city as well as the back roads of Texas. Finally, please leave me a comment about how you enjoy Texas motorcycle riding!
Keep the shiny side up!

What kind of window used in new construction in the west coast these days?
What is the most popular window type used in new construction these days in moderate/warm/dry places like california?
Is it still aluminum?
It's been 20 years since I last remodeled, so I'm not up to date.
With the expansion/contraction properties of vinyl, it sounds like vinyl will be problematic down the road.
The expansion rate of vinyl is overblown as it pertains to residential window applications, and is typically touted by fiberglass sales-guys. A good quality product is what you are looking for regardless of material. In CA, vinyl, aluminum and fiberglass are all viable options, each with their own pros and cons.
Aluminum is inherently handicapped in the thermal race.
Fiberglass is probably the next most viable alternative if you are looking for non-vinyl options but as HomeSealed pointed out, the expansion argument is drastically overblown.
I always ask customers to start out with what they want the window to look like.
I look at a lot of homes due to my job, i see soooo many vinyl windows it blows my mind. So much so, you would think its all folks do here in CA.

|Impact of school desegregation in Milwaukee public schools on quality education for minorities-- 15 years later
The NAACP in Milwaukee initiated school desegregation as a legal issue in 1965, setting off a decade long legal struggle to integrate public schools. In January of 1976, Federal Judge John Reynolds ruled that Milwaukee Public Schools were segregated unlawfully. In response, the Wisconsin Legislature enacted a program to aid in the implementation and promotion of integration in Milwaukee schools. The plan was approved by Judge Reynolds in 1979. Fifteen years later, the Wisconsin Advisory Committee began studying the effects of the desegregation program and its impact on the quality of education received by Milwaukee students.
The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata.

|A French proverb says 'Wait until it is night before saying that it has been a fine day.' To tell it more precise, wait till the clock strikes the midnight!
– Mehmet Murat ildanRate it:
|A Frenchman is self-assured because he regards himself personally both in mind and body as irresistibly attractive to men and women. An Englishman is self-assured as being a citizen of the best-organized state in the world and therefore, as an Englishman, always knows what he should do and knows that all he does as an Englishman is undoubtedly correct. An Italian is self-assured because he is excitable and easily forgets himself and other people. A Russian is self-assured just because he knows nothing and does not want to know anything, since he does not believe that anything can be known. The German's self-assurance is worst of all, stronger and more repulsive than any other, because he imagines that he knows the truth -- science -- which he himself has invented but which is for him the absolute truth.

/// The lessons of the Atlantic's Scientology 'sponsor content' blunder
If you search for "Scientology" on Google, the top result on the search page is an advertisement for, guess what, Scientology.
Actually, two advertisements: one linking to the organization's website and the other to a YouTube video purporting to offer "the truth" about it. Both are set off from the search engine's algorithmic results by a shaded background and a notice, which reads, "Ads related to scientology" – a reasonably straightforward indication that the top position on the page, like many others that turn up in Google searches, has been purchased. I haven't heard anyone complain about this, though I wish Google would make it even more obvious that these things are ads.
Yet, on Monday, when the Atlantic magazine's website posted a page (pdf) by Scientologists – under what was labelled "Sponsor Content" – my Twitter and Google+ feeds went moderately berserk. The post, what journalism people call an "advertorial", or an advertisement semi-masquerading as editorial content, was an unintentionally hilarious paean to Scientology, featuring a look at lots of new facilities opened in the past year. The comments that stayed on the page were uniformly gung-ho, and also smirk-inducing.
There is a difference, and a serious one, between the way Google and the Atlantic handle their relationships with Scientology, which has famously devoted followers and implacable critics. But even as we agree that the Atlantic screwed up, we should give some thought to what we mean in this emerging digital culture when we talk about something we call a fundamental tenet of the craft of journalism: independence.
Every day, it seems, we see traditional boundaries – which were always less rigid or tall than journalists pretended – being breached by the old guard, who've been panicked by the revenue implosion of the past decade. Many of the new players, especially in the social part of the media ecosystem, have jettisoned the traditional tactics almost entirely.
The Atlantic took down the ad amid an uproar that included condemnation, incredulity and, this being the internet, hilarity. In the latter category, the Onion ran a piece praising the Taliban's latest achievements, but the best parody came from BoingBoing's Rob Beschizza, who slapped up a parody that is already its own internet meme. And in the end, the Atlantic apologized forthrightly, saying:
"We screwed up. It shouldn't have taken a wave of constructive criticism – but it has – to alert us that we've made a mistake, possibly several mistakes. We now realize that as we explored new forms of digital advertising, we failed to update the policies that must govern the decisions we make along the way."
What made the publication of Scientology's advertorial especially problematic, of course, was the way it appeared. "Sponsor Content" is the kind of mushy expression that media companies use when they're running ads they don't want to admit are ads. And there was little differentiation in the look and feel of the piece from what normally runs on the site's pages – apart from its essential absurdity, compared to the magazine's typical editorials, as if some Atlantic writer had decided to create a parody. The visceral response from critics stemmed from an impression that the Atlantic was renting its news pages to anyone who could come up with the cash, and in a way not designed to be clear about distinctions of content.
But what do news organizations and other media businesses do, if not offer their pages (or broadcast programs, etc) to various bidders? We all know what an ad looks like in a newspaper or on TV: a separate element distinguishable from the editorial content, or supposedly so. It's not always so easy. We're learning that if we see a consumer product in a movie or TV show, it's overwhelmingly likely that money or favors changed hands to get it in front of us. This is why Google would be wise to make it even clearer what's advertising and what's coming from the algorithms.
How independent is a newspaper editor whose publisher sits on the local Chamber of Commerce board, as so many do around America? Codes of ethics for writers and editors never, ever apply to the most senior executives of media companies. And when is the last time anyone saw a hard-hitting investigation into a major print or broadcast advertiser by the news group taking its money? Do you think it's a coincidence that, a year ago, the major television news programs all but ignored the free speech implications of internet censorship legislation – a bill that almost passed – when their parent companies were universally in favor of the law?
One of journalism's biggest ongoing scandals is what doesn't get covered. Too many people don't need to be warned off; they censor themselves.
Small online outlets, meanwhile, are rife with conflicts and interests. And in a world where consumers become creators, social media turns influence into a marketplace. We're still figuring it all out.
Brazen interference may be rare in the big media world, but it's still with us. A few days ago, CBS told its CNET tech journalism unit it could not give an award to a product, a Dish Network hard disk recorder that automatically skips past commercials. CBS hates the device, and is trying, along with other TV members of the Copyright Cartel, to sue it out of existence.
The editorial staffers at CNET are appalled and angry, and one of their number, Greg Sandoval, quit in protest. CBS hasn't been an exemplar of excellence in a long time, but this definitely won't boost its credibility.
I'm glad the Atlantic's mea culpa contained this – "We remain committed to and enthusiastic about innovation in digital advertising" – because we need as much innovation in news business models as in journalism itself (and we're getting a lot of the latter these days). The financial turmoil in the news industry gives all providers an incentive to be creative in attracting revenues, but we've seen too little. Meanwhile, conflicts of interest online are routine, but we don't always know about them. (I have a list of mine on my personal blog, and disclose them in my writing when it's relevant to the piece.)
Given the uncertainty and experimentation, disclosure is a vital component of the one thing news providers can't buy: trust. And one key way to earn it is to admit when you're wrong, as the Atlantic did and CBS needs to do.
Again and again, it seems, we have to learn an old truism. Trust is more easily squandered than earned.

Atlantic Aviation has completed a more than $500,000 refurbishment of its Portland (Oregon) International Airport location, the latest in a series of renovations at its FBOs. The three-month-long remodeling project features five separate designated seating areas, an Internet café in the pilot lounge, private data rooms for passengers, two conference rooms with wireless audio-visual capability, a customer coffee bar and complimentary Wi-Fi access. Continuing the design theme seen in its recent facelifts at other locations is the use of natural stone throughout the facility.
Up next for the company are similar remodels for its Teterboro, N.J. and Newburgh, N.Y. FBOs as well as a teardown and rebuild of its Reno, Nev. facility.
