Skip to comments.Newtown Activists Call For Change As Gun Trade Show Opens
Posted on 01/14/2014 3:37:37 AM PST by Biggirl
NEWTOWN Gun control advocates gathered Monday in front of the National Shooting Sports Foundation headquarters and called on the gun industry to change its marketing practices, reigniting a polarizing debate the day before the annual firearm industry trade show opens in Las Vegas.

Their goal is absolute disarmament as a path to absolute power. We have to fight the far left at every step, and more important take back freedom every chance we get. Fighting for a draw is a terrible strategy.
Look for another trip to the fed courts, the USSC in a special way for any future cases.
Fighting for a draw is a terrible strategy.
Unfortunately, our "representatives" are Republicans. We are lucky when they don't give up ground.
Do these people have a problem with cars being sold in Newtown because of all of the car related deaths?
They can KMA.
Wow. Big demonstration! Must be thirty or so women and men who always wanted to be women there.
"Reasonable Republican" = Quisling
"Moderation in defense of Liberty is no Virtue" -B. Goldwater
The Bill of Rights is NOT negotiable!
The Left will not stop until the people of this country are disarmed. We cannot "work with them", they must be Defeated.
"Their goal is absolute disarmament as a path to absolute power. We have to fight the far left at every step, and more important take back freedom every chance we get. Fighting for a draw is a terrible strategy."
That's a fact. I will expand on your last comment, though: Fighting for a draw is losing.
"Their goal is absolute disarmament as a path to absolute power."
Nailed it! America's own home grown fascism on display.
"The Left will not stop until the people of this country are disarmed. We cannot 'work with them', they must be Defeated."
And they will not cease their tyranny until they are, in fact, defeated and destroyed. The utter destruction of leftist dogma and ideology must be our goal.
"And they will not cease their tyranny until they are, in fact, defeated and destroyed. The utter destruction of leftist dogma and ideology must be our goal"
Yup! I also like your tag line.
The problem is that the left controls the levers of power in that they own almost all of the media and all of the educational establishment. It's an uphill fight on our part, that's for sure.
I saw protestors at Sarah Palins address in Nashville several years ago. There were like 7 of them but they made national news feeds.
Beat the crap out of them with a bar of soap in a sock... let's see if the want to outlaw socks and soap.
But right has the "new media". The left has the "old media".
I have long thought and said there are only two kinds of people who support gun control. Those that are woefully, willfully ignorant of the facts; and powoer hungry fascists who want a disarmed populace that will be easier to control. To you lib lurkers out there, this is you. There is no third option, there is no middle ground.
Fortunately we have Romney, McCain, and Boehner to lead the way.
Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.
Let Freedom Ring,
Did you see any "Occupy" protesters? Many of them don't do socks, and almost none have any interest in soap. These people are not like us, and they are not clean in mind or body.
....Until they arrested.
The only change I want to see is less rules, regulations and laws.
It you allow someone to own a gun, but not carry it whenever and in whatever manner he wants, then you have revoked his right to self protection.
Every time I see a story like this, I have the overwhelming urge to go out and buy another firearm. If I were to act on that impulse every time, I'm pretty sure I'd have more guns than some third-world countries (and have a credit card bill that looked like the US national debt!).
Are they all from Newtown? I don't think so!
Somebody needs to tell the Newtown Nuts that their 15 minutes is up. GET A REAL JOB!
One: Two years prior to the hoax State Medical Examine Wayne Carver was the impetus behind a state law prohibiting the release of crime scene photos, autopsy photos and autopsy reports of minor children. This effort before hand shows long range planning on the part of a government sponsored cabal to make sure certain potentially 'damaging' information was suppressed.
Two: Many of the families who played 'prominent' media roles immediately after the hoax had been recent immigrants to Newtown. They seemed to have had some 'acting' abilities or connections prior to the hoax. Because 'their' children were not actually brutally murdered and disfigured the interviews, some within hours of their 'loss' seem scripted and completely unemotional. Later interviews have an almost 'Twilight Zone' quality to them with all parties laughing gaily and joking with the interviewers whom for the most part seemed obvious to the strange affects of the parents.
Three: One obvious planning date (although it appears obvious that the hoax plan had most likely been conceived by Leftist anti-2nd Amendment government cabal years before) seems to have been the purported 'last three years where NO one seems to have ever seen or had contact with Adam Lanza or his mother. His 'own' brother, the elusive 'Ryan Lanza' is said to have stated that he alone had not seen or spoken with his 'brother' for more than two years. So it appears that the hoax story demanded a negative vortex prior to the incident to prevent outside influences from interjecting themselves between the 'paid' political theater actors and the media.
Briefly, in closing, there are only three very separate and distinct possibilities as to what happened on December 14th, 2013:
One: A mentally disturbed 20 year psychotic loner, without motive, killed 27 people with a variety of rifles and handguns, the 27th being his mother. He then appears to have shot the 28th person, himself. 20 students died along with 6 faculty as 154 rounds of ammunition were expended. The Ct. State Police were the first to arrive and sealed the scene declaring every one shot, dead. No EMS or other LEO's were allowed access to the school. Adam Lanza appears to have driven a black Honda (registered to a local felon and drug addict) to the school, and is said to have shot his way in through the front glass door/window which was said to be 'bullet resistant', but not bullet proof. Although there were supposedly 600 students in the school at the time there is no known photos or videos of an exit save one photo which looks to have been staged during a prior drill. No body bags were ever seen or photographed being removed save one blurry shot of a white sheeted 'victim' taken in the middle of the night by a camera man apparently in a tree near the school. Except for a comment re: Noah Pozner's funeral, all funerals were closed casket. It was related that Pozner had a cloth partially over his face perhaps to hide disfigurement. No photos of dead children (if they exist) have ever been released per the previously mention law. There was at one time a surveillance video system installed in the school but photos taken the day of the shooting show it had been removed from the exterior of the building. There are no KNOWN photos or video of Lanza either driving up to the school, exiting the car, or shooting his way in to the school.
Two: It was a US government Black Ops attack in which a total of 28 people were eliminated and it actually happened as a plan to force the destruction of the 2nd Amendment and the confiscation of guns in America. To a degree, in certain liberal controlled states this is already happening (NY, CT).
Three: This was an active shooter drill that went live and it was a hoax with the liberal controlled media a willing participant.
A bunch of Sandy hookers wanting to grab everyone's guns.
So what else is new?
If tens of thousands of conservatives march in the streets, the media ignores them. If a handful of moonbats take to the streets, the media has wall to wall coverage.
Sorry but they left out citizen's protection from tyranny, which is the only one implied in the Second Amendment.
In fact, I am for the complete repeal of the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the National Firearms Acts of 1934, and all laws that depend on them, including the Gun-Free School Zone Act, as amended after the Lopez case.
The Hughes Amendment banning the ownership of machine guns by civilians post May 1986 is unconstitutional on its face (per the 1934 Miller case) and must be rescinded immediately.
The unconstitutional registry of all guns, including the machine gun registry going back to 1934 but extended in 1968 and 1986, MUST be destroyed immediately.
Every last law in the United States infringing the 2nd Amendment in any way, including federal-level background checks, must be repealed to return on a Constitutional order.
No more NICS, no more waiting periods, no more bans on gun shows or gun stores.
If the states want to license concealed carry, I'm OK with that, but NOT at the federal level. And open carry must be completely unrestricted in normal society. If carry is restricted in certain government buildings, then those buildings MUST (in the style of the new Kansas law) provide security guards, searches, and metal detectors to enforce what the criminals will not comply with on their own.
I've had it with this gradual descent into Nazi Germany. NO MORE.
Very true!
The article describes one of the demands of the protestors against the gun industry "to change its marketing practices". Later on the article describes the gun industry as marketing to children.
This seems rather strange as as far as I've ever noticed, neither television, newspapers, nor major magazines carry advertisements for firearms. They all carry ads for alcohol and with the exception of television, tobacco products though.
The only time I've seen advertisements for firearms manufacturers are on enthusiast publications or cable programming narrowly tailored to shooting, hunting or outdoor pursuits.
Their complaint is specious. Most of what kids pick up about firearms today is from Hollywood and video games, but because those industries support the left they get a free pass.
They just don't get it.
You will never hear of a "shelter in place" order in rural Texas.
My tagline still applies.
'The Second Amendment is NOT about the right to hunt. It IS a right to shoot tyrants.'
Yes, ma'am, but the problem is that the old media includes the nation's newspapers, which still have pretty large readerships and all the national TV networks, which millions watch each and every day. These networks have huge numbers of viewers of the situation comedies and dramas that promote liberal values and let's not forget the audience for the nightly newscasts.
I would say that they have a greater audience that we conservatives could ever hope for, notwithstanding talk radio and the conservative websites. Bear in mind that the latter two attract people who are already on our side whereas the newspapers and electronic media have non-committed audiences to influence.
"Its an uphill fight on our part, thats for sure."
The harder the fight, the sweeter the victory.

purchase of copic markers
By Elizabeth
from Jacksonville,Fl
the copics markers are great.pros: refillable replaceable nibs many beautiful colorscons: expensive hard to find certain colors lgt colors sometimes seem dryOverall I can't complain I love copics markers and wish I had the money to buy the rest of them. The order was correct and came quickly. As to how to use the markers you tube has numerous demonstration videos, for beginners the most important thing I've learned so far is to use quality marker paper. Marker paper helps you to not use up all the ink quickly by wasting it. Enjoy

I can always count on Blick to get my purchases shipped and to my door in a timely manner. The Copic Sketch Marker always get here fresh and never on the dry side. I love these markers for coloring and blending on my scrapbook pages and cards I make. Thank you!
Exactly What I Was Looking For
By Love Cats
from Ashburn, VA
Perfect markers! I love the brush tip and pretty much only use that side of the marker. They blend so well, and the colors are beautiful. I couldn't be happier with these markers, but I just wish they were easier to come by - many colors were out of stock when I ordered, unfortunately.
Blick satisfied customer
By EverydayArt
from Houston, TX
I ordered several Copic markers. After shopping around online and in local stores Blick had the best price. Copics don't get marked down very often and not for much, so the price through Blick was good. And, as usual the service was excellent.
A definite winner!
By Sue
from Bloomington IN
These are the best markers available. Perfect for scrapbooking. I printed coloring pages on Copic quality paper and color with the markers. Beautiful results with blending- even for a beginner. Many wonderful tutorials available online with detailed instructions for getting the most of your markers. I highly recommend this product!
By PSWade
from Virginia
Copic Sketch Markers are great; however, I received less than 1/3 of my order because so many of the colors are on indefinite backorder; it isn't just Dick Blick's site, but all sites that sell these markers seem to be running out; I don't understand the problem, but wish it would get resolved.
The best markers available.
By LoLo
from Florida
These markers are artist quality. Yes, they are a little pricey but the pros outweigh the cons for me. Since they are refillable & the nibs are replaceable they are markers for life. That makes up the cost since you don't have to buy a new marker every time it runs out. The refills will refill them 10+ times so this is a great value. For blending & vibrant colors this brand cannot be beat.
Good Price
By Lindar
from Escondido, CA
Copics at a great price.

Copics are unsurpassed by others
By Lily pond sketcher
from Maine
On the surface, these "markers" seem very expensive. However, the quality can't be beaten. I use these on smooth bristol mostly. I would not recommend using watercolor paper unless using solely to highlight and define a watercolor painting, as it will suck the marker dry. You need a surface where the pigment will stay on top and blend. This is important. There are three different brands of paper I now use for these, which I learned by trial and error. The markers can be combined with watercolors, or you can use artists grade colored pencils to enhance. This marker is not just for illustration, but can create some very beautiful landscapes as well. Similar to watercolor, you build up layers of pigment to create shading and textures. Be very careful when combining with other media. Do not use after pencil since the waxy base will gum up and clog the marker brush. The good news is, the nibs for the marker are easily replaceable, and inexpensive. That combined with the refill option, makes these truly worth the cost. I prefer the Sketch over the Ciao version for the large, oval barrel. this reduces fatigue in my hands which are feeling their age!

Man to stand trial for grisly slaying of Vista woman
Investigators found blood throughout the home, Gardner testified, including smears in the spot where the gardening shears had been stored in the Neville garage. The detective described a grisly scene throughout the home, with blood on the carpet, walls and stairs, as well as in the upstairs bedrooms -- where deputies also found a window screen apparently clawed through from the inside -- and the front porch of the home "several feet outside of the door."
A second neighbor who testified Monday, Lauren Prim, said she'd heard a woman screaming for help and a man yell "get back inside the house."
Prosecutor Christine Trevino has said it appears Neville ran through her home as she tried to escape her attacker.
Detective Gardner also testified that Neville's shirt had been lifted to expose her breasts and her pants were pulled down, exposing her genitals.
On cross examination, Gardner said he did not look further into a series of hang-up calls to Carolyn Neville's home and cell phones. Stephen Neville testified that the calls began about five months before the murder, and had escalated during the last two months before she died.
Gardner said Threats was playing video games with a friend who lived two houses down from the Neville house between 2 and 3 a.m. on Sept. 1, just hours before Neville's slaying.
The detective said the friend, James Antonio Brown, said he'd met Threats a few months before the slaying, and that Threats had come to his Diablo Place residence 10, maybe 15 times.
In addition to the bloodied knife in the Nevilles' kitchen sink, and hedge clippers on the stairs, investigators found a bloody knife in a neighboring driveway.
Inside the home, investigators also found the X-Box in the living room unhooked from the television. They also found a piece of luggage stuffed with video games, movies and the cords from the X-Box.
In the hallway upstairs, they found a basket of folded laundry spilled onto the floor, and the headphones for Neville's MP3 player on the stairs.
Threats will be back in court May 3 to be formally arraigned on the charges.

Meshell Ndegeocello Taps Into Lush Vocals And Rich Lyrics
If you have a minute or so, go to this YouTube link of John Mellencamp performing his 1994 cover version of Wild Night, the hugely popular 1971 Van Morrison song, and listen to the woman accompanying him.
She is Meshell Ndegeocello, a music industry veteran well-known for her collaborations and her covers. She's been making music for three decades, partnering with huge-name artists including Madonna, Herbie Hancock and Alanis Morissette. Now she has a new solo album titled "Comet, Come To Me" that features lush vocals, rich lyrics and her signature bass.
Ndegeocello will be performing at The Sinclair in Cambridge on Saturday, June 7, and she spoke earlier this week with WBUR's Sacha Pfeiffer.
Meshell Ndegeocello, singer, bass player, music producer. She tweets at @OfficialMeshell.
The Boston Globe: Ndegeocello Explores What It Means To Be An American
- "Meshell Ndegeocello has built her stature as one of our most important singer-songwriters almost by stealth. She is prolific, with 11 albums starting with her 1993 debut, "Plantation Lullabies." But her disposition is to stay in the shadows, guarding her space from commercial demands and the invasions of celebrity culture."
Variety: Meshell Ndegeocello's Versatility Should Not Go Uncelebrated
- "Meshell Ndegeocello's versatility might be considered a blessing and a curse. Unlike Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill — two peers with whom she shares a certain mystique and eccentricity — her artistry is diffuse, a trait with which certain critics have taken exception. But to her hardcore fans, her broad musical grasp is a thing to be celebrated."

Feds still probing attacks by Earth Liberation Front
BY LISA THOMPSON and ED PALATTELLA, Erie Times-News
Radical environmentalist Kevin Tucker took the stage at Mercyhurst College two years ago to sound his call for a world freed from civilization.
Today, he is scheduled to take a seat before a different kind of Erie audience — a federal grand jury.
The 28-year-old former Pennsylvania resident said he has been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury that is investigating a series of arsons and other politically motivated acts of sabotage and vandalism in the Erie area in 2002 and 2003.
The Earth Liberation Front, or E.L.F., and the Animal Liberation Front,
or ALF, variously took responsibility for the local actions, which
occurred amid a nationwide wave of crimes committed in the name of
environmental and animal liberation.
The government wants to know if Tucker, who now lives in Athens, Ga.,
has information about incidents in northwestern Pennsylvania.
The actions, six in all, caused an estimated $1.5 million damage, the
FBI said. They include a costly arson at a U.S. Forest Service research
station in Warren County, the release of animals from local fur farms in
Erie County and the torching of a $500,000 construction crane at
Wintergreen Gorge.
Tucker said he knows nothing about the incidents under investigation and
is not a target of the probe. He said his role in the green anarchy
movement is as a writer and speaker.
"It would be extremely stupid to be a public figure and try to have
nighttime activities," he said in an interview with the Erie Times-News.
"I think they know I don't have any information. I think this is
Tucker said he plans to appear today as summoned. He declined to comment
on how he will respond when questioned.
Grand jury proceedings are secret, though witnesses are allowed to
discuss their testimony publicly. Assistant U.S. Attorney Marshall
Piccinini, the chief federal prosecutor in Erie, and Andrew Wilson, head
of the Erie FBI office, declined to comment on Tucker's subpoena or
confirm that a grand jury is in session.
Wilson said only that the crimes that occurred remain "under active
"Domestic terrorism involves acts of violence that are a violation of
the criminal laws of the United States or any state, committed by
individuals or groups without any foreign direction, and appear to be
intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, or influence the
policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, and occur primarily
within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States."
SOURCE: John E. Lewis, Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI's
Counterterrorism Division, speaking before the Senate Judiciary
Committee in May 2004
Law enforcement classifies illegal actions such as those taken in the
name of E.L.F. and ALF as domestic terrorism. Solving the crimes remains
a top priority for the FBI, Wilson said.
"We saw as many or more direct actions than any other part of the
country at that time," Wilson said of the E.L.F. and ALF actions in the
Erie region in 2002 and 2003.
Tucker's appearance before the grand jury comes more than six years
after the first E.L.F. action in the Erie region. But the FBI still has
time to investigate and prosecute. Allegations of conspiracy or arson
have allowed prosecutors in other eco-terrorist cases nationwide to
extend the statute of limitations beyond the typical five years.
While the investigation continues, those targeted by activists await
their own reckoning.
In the early morning hours of New Year's Day 2003, arsonists torched two
pickups and two sport utility vehicles at Bob Ferrando's car dealership
in Girard. Ferrando said he had not heard from investigators since
shortly after the January 2003 fire. He said the incident left him
unsettled at the time.
"You don't know what is going to happen next," he said.
Forrest Mindek and his brothers operate a Harborcreek Township mink farm
that was targeted. He did not respond to a request for comment from the
Erie Times-News.
In 2002, Mindek told the Fur Commission, a California-based trade group:
"Whoever committed this cowardly crime must be punished to the full
extent of the law. It's bad enough that they try to destroy our
livelihood, but they put the lives of our animals, our family and the
firefighters at risk."
Members of the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front
claimed responsibility for a series of actions in northwestern
Pennsylvania in 2002 and 2003:
# March 24, 2002: A $500,000 construction crane was torched in
Wintergreen Gorge in a failed attempt to halt construction of the
Bayfront Connector. Activists also sprayed graffiti on construction
equipment and drove metal spikes into trees to pose danger to anyone who
might try to cut them down.
# May 2002: Sixteen foxes were released from the Lawrence Dana Fox Ranch
on Station Road, Greenfield Township. Several died after being struck by
# Time not specified in E.L.F. release: Two northwestern Pennsylvania
farm fields were destroyed; genetically modified crops were being tested
in the fields.
# Aug. 11, 2002: A U.S. Forest Service research station in Irvine,
Warren County, was torched. Seventy years' worth of research was
destroyed; $700,000 in damage.
# Nov. 26, 2002: The feed barn at the Mindek Brothers Fur Farm in
Harborcreek Township went up in flames. Also 200, and 50 breeding mink
were released there in May and September 2002, respectively.
# Jan. 1, 2003: Two sport utility vehicles and two pickup trucks were
destroyed by fire at Bob Ferrando Ford in Girard, causing $90,000
damage. Ferrando said insurance covered the loss.
SOURCES: FBI; communiqués from E.LF. and ALF.
The FBI estimates animal-rights extremists and environmental extremists
have committed 2,000 criminal acts in the United States since 1977.
No one was injured in the local attacks, but the fire at the Warren
County research station stood out in the arsonists' expressed
willingness to employ violence against people.
"Where it is necessary," according to a statement that E.L.F. released
at the time, "we will no longer hesitate to pick up the gun to implement
justice, and provide needed protection for our planet."
A person speaking for E.L.F. later dismissed the remarks as representing
only one E.L.F. cell. The comments still alarmed law enforcement because
they appeared to clear the way for a new threshold of violence.
In response to the outbreak of eco-sabotage, the FBI, the Erie County
District Attorney's Office and Corry, Erie and Millcreek Township police
departments formed a joint terrorism task force in 2004 to target
terrorism, especially the E.L.F. and ALF actions.
The group's formation followed the creation of similar task forces in
all major U.S. cities in the months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
Despite investigators' efforts, no one has been arrested in the local
cases. The FBI continues to offer a reward for information leading to
the arrest of those responsible, Wilson said.
Nationwide, the FBI has made a number of eco-terrorism arrests in
Western states, but many cases remain unsolved. One difficulty is the
loose, secret ties that make up E.L.F. and ALF. Their methods have been
described as built around an idea, rather than an organization. Their
crimes resist traditional investigative tactics.
"It is not the standard leadership or hierarchy that a criminal
enterprise uses," Wilson said.
There is no membership roster or organized structure for investigators
to infiltrate. Instead, like-minded activists come together in highly
secretive cells, or affinity groups, plot actions and commit them in the
name of E.L.F. or ALF. The actions are then announced through anonymous
press releases or "communiqués." After each action in the Erie area,
releases were faxed to news organizations explaining the rationales for
the crimes.
Tucker: Movement targeted, not him
E.L.F. took credit for spraying graffiti on the earthmoving equipment at
the Wintergreen Gorge construction site in spring 2002. The FBI in Erie

2004 with other high-profile radicals at the Total Liberation Fest, an
event described as a "revolution conference on state repression,
political prisoners, social justice, and earth and animal liberation."

In an interview, Tucker's colleague, Zerzan, 65, a green anarchist
author and radio show host, said Tucker has always been careful to tell
others that he does not want to know about any E.L.F. or ALF direct actions.
Zerzan said he believes Tucker has been called to testify because of his
strong leadership in the green anarchy movement.
Tucker agreed.

"Solingen und Schloss Burg Castle" Solingen by Acore_Beauty_4_U_Luv
Solingen Travel Guide: 19 reviews and 30 photos
SOLINGEN, Germany, in Westphalia, near the Rhine river, stands on a hill bordering the Wupper River, 20 miles northeast of Cologne. It has Catholic and Protestant churches, a synagogue, schools of various grades, hospital, electricity and all the conveniences of a modern town. It is a center of steel and iron industry in Germany.
The municipality was established in 1374 and the town became famous for its sword-blades. There are numerous metal factories which turn out fine cutlery, copper and brass-ware, and surgical instruments, etc., while several thousand workmen make small articles of cutlery at home. In addition, there are paper, linen, cotton, silk, soap and other factories. Solingen cutlery as been famous since medieval times and is supposed to have been introduced by crusaders from Damascus. Pop. 165,000 in 1997.
("Wappen" translates to standard in English}
A few kilometers from Solingen, is located the Schloss Burg (Castle Berg), home to the Counts of Burg, who initially used the site as a fortress beginning about 1000 A.D. during the time of the crusades. Today it is a part of the 600 year old, world renowned flatware center of Solingen, and was the actual capital of the Bergische Land during the Middle Ages. It was the seat of the Counts of Burg, who ruled their delightful little realm from here.

The Southern Baptist Convention has voted down a proposal that would have asked parents to pull their children from public schools in favor of religious education.
Earlier this year, some members had proposed a statement denouncing public schools as "officially Godless."
In other business, the Reverend Bobby Welch, a native of Fort Payne, Ala., was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Welch, 61, has been senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Daytona Beach for almost 30 years.
At a news conference after his election in Indianapolis, Welch said he'll use his term to promote evangelism because he believes Southern Baptists are declining, judging from a recent drop in baptisms of new members.
Wednesday was the final day of the denomination's annual meeting in Indianapolis.

Ted and Barbara P. from Ballwin, MO called Woods Basement Systems for a solution to their wet and damp basement. We installed our TripleSafe sump pump which is the most reliable sump pump system. The TripleSafe provides 3 levels of protection which is reliable with Cast-Iron Zoeller, powerful with secondary pump and long-lasting with UltraSump. By the means of all these three properties, now Ted and Barbara is proud of their dry and comfortable basement.
Several cracks were forming in this Ballwin Missouri basement and two were beginning to leak so the homeowner hired us to repair them once and for all.
A section of the driveway at this home in Ballwin, Missouri had settled, creating a sort of speedbump when entering the garage. Woods Basement Systems leveled the concrete slab with PolyLEVEL (a superior alternative to traditional mudjacking), lifting the slab to be level with the garage slab. Now, the entry to this garage is a smooth one.
Click the icons to see what our customers had to say.
We not only adhere to the highest industry standards, we strive to be the industry leader in the home improvement related services we provide. We also use state-of-the-art products and technology which are designed to fix your home. We are the authorized Basement Systems dealer in Ballwin, MO.
Tim R., a Ballwin, Missouri homeowner, experienced water leaking into his basement where the floor meets the wall. Tim's carpet, drywall and personal belongings were at risk for water damage.
System Design Specialist Brandon B. suggested a solution that will keep Tim's basement completely dry all the time. WaterGuard was installed with the IceGuard discharge line to ensure the basment stays dry through the cold, winter months.
Foreman Adam A. then installed ThermalDry flooring and EverLast Half-Wall. ThermalDry and Everlast are inorganic and insulataed, so Tim can enjoy his new, beautiful basement free of mold and water.
When Ballwin resident, Betty, tested her homes radon levels, they were alarmingly high. After seeing Woods Basement Systems commercial on TV, she did not hesitate to call. Representative Ken Herrman met with her for a detailed radon testing & a free consultation on a mitigation system.
Ken explained to her that a radon mitigation system will prevent the toxic radon gas from entering her home. Exposure to these toxins overtime can cause various health issues, so Betty scheduled the mitigation installation for the following week.
Today, Betty has an effective mitigation system and her radon gas levels are significantly low.
After a long rainstorm, Peggy & Rod noticed that water was leaking into their basement from various areas. Without hesitation, they asked some friends who to call. They were referred to Woods Basement Systems, and scheduled an appointment on September 25,2014 with David Palmer, a System Design Specialist.
Being very familiar with wet basement issues, David did not take long in diagnosing the couple's problem. David explained that their sill plate was slowly rotting away and causing minor leakage. Also, their downspout was channeling too much water at the corner of their foundation. Unfortunately, if these were not fixed in the near future, they would continue to get worse. The couple scheduled for a crew to come the following week.
Foreman Reginald Bradford and his crew installed the Sill Plate Draintile System to fix their rotting sill plate. Then, they installed a LawnScape Outlet that acts as a downspout extension to direct the drainage away from the foundation. The couple was enthused that the job was completed in one day. Today, they are enjoying their leak-free basement with confidence their storage will not be damaged every time it rains.
Ballwin couple, Kevin & Sue, were tired of dealing with their basement flooding every time it rained. Their waterproofing system was not working and they could not figure out why. Realizing they absolutely needed the space for storage, they were referred to Woods Basement Systems by a friend.
On September 11th, 2012, System Design Specialist, David Palmer met with the couple to diagnose their issue. David explained that the water was seeping through their walls, floors, and joints between them. He informed them that their original waterproofing system seemed to be clogged. This could be fixed, but he warned them it probably would not be long-lasting. He then suggested a permanent solution, the WaterGuard system. Kevin & Sue were instantly appealed to the fact that it was a non-clogging pipe system that does not rot. After doing more research on the products of Basement Systems, they decided that they wanted BrightWall panels to enhance the aesthetics of the dark, bare basement walls. Three days after their meeting with David, foreman Chris Armstrong and his crew arrived to save their basement.
Just in one day, the new interior drainage system was installed. The WaterGuard system is barely noticeable as it is hidden beneath a layer of concrete, which enthused the couple. The BrightWall panels, which were designed to work hand in hand with the WaterGuard system, has transformed their basement from a damp & dark room to a bright & open area that is perfect for neat and dry storage. Kevin & Sue could not be happier with their new basement and continue to reference Woods Basement Systems to their friends.
Bill B, a resident of Ballwin, MO, was having wet basement issues for a couple of years. After many failed attempts to fix it himself, he finally decided he needed professional help & a permanent solution. Representative, Kendall Blunt met with him to diagnose the source of his basement problem.
After her thorough assessment, it was obvious that Bills sump pump wasn't working correctly and water was seeping through Bills floor and walls. Kendall suggested that with a new sump pump, the WaterGuard System would resolve this issue. She also explained that his existing external French Drain wasn't working because they often grow roots & clog with silt. For his crawlspace, the CleanSpace Pinkie Roll will help isolate the area from outside air, groundwater, and dirt.
Bill felt comfortable with Kendall's knowledge and honesty, and knew Woods Basement Systems would be the answer to all of his basement problems. On July 3rd, 2013, foreman Jose Lorenzana and his crew successfully completed the project in one day. Bill now has an interior French drain system, known as the WaterGuard System, as well as a new and improved sump pump. Today, he is enjoying his healthy, dry and warranted basement with confidence he won't have this problem again.
Ballwin resident, Mary O, was concerned about the deterioration of her homes foundation over the years. The basement walls were bowing & buckling, and the crawl space grew wet with a musty smell. She was referred by a friend to call Woods Basement Systems.
On July 3rd, 2014, representative, Chris Tite visited Mary's home to diagnose what was causing her issues. After his assessment, Chris explained to Mary that the foundation soil was exceeding way too much pressure on the outside walls. He suggested that a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System will prevent them from getting worse, as well as help straighten them back to normal. He also informed her on the state-of-the-art CleanSpace Liner that would act as a barrier from moisture, outside air, as well as pests. This process of crawl space encapsulation would get rid of the musty smell. Mary felt comfortable with Chris's knowledge as well as Wood's access to the high-tech materials, she decided Woods Basement Systems was the right one for the job.
On July 17th, foreman Todd Wells and his crew began the transformation. The anchors were inserted in the soil outside the foundation. There, they are connected to the foundation walls by a steel rod to apply pressure. This procedure helps form them back to its original position. Mary's home required 50 feet of CleanSpace liner to cover her entire crawl space. The liner will not only prevent the musty smell, but will also help save energy costs.
In just two days, the entire job was complete and Mary could not be happier with the results. She is now more comfortable knowing her home's foundation is safe, clean and warranted.
Larry's basemebt wall was beginning to bow in, causing cracks in the wall and the outside of the home. This is a common problem of settling earth in the active wedge. The active wedge is the dirt that was dug out in order to build the foundation, then used to fill the whole back again. It is called the active wedge because the dirt is continuously moving, shifting and settling.
To stabilize Larry's wall, Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed. Multiple thin rods are drilled out from the basement, and past the active layer of dirt to a more stable ground. Then plates are connected to these galvanized rods to anchor them to the solid earth.
Larry's wall is now stabilized and will eventually straighten out, over time.
Terry's home in Ballwin, MO had seen better days. Several cracks ran around the basement walls, and already water had found its way through some and showed no signs of stopping. The stellar things Terry had heard about Woods Basement Systems convinced him to contact us for a free professional inspection, service recommendation, and price estimate.
Woods found one of the walls was bowing inwardly and needed to be anchored. Woods installed seven Geo-Lock wall anchors, protecting the wall from any further bowing and even allowing periodic corrections to straighten the wall! Terry also purchased the WaterGuard drainage system, which stands apart from conventional pipes due to its patented design and location in the basement floor. WaterGuard will not clog or cause structural foundation damage. It catches any water that drips down the walls and delivers it to a sump pump, which means no puddles on the floor!
Terry and his wife Robin now enjoy their totally dry basement with a structurally sound foundation!

To the family I send my condolences.
#19 May 18, 2010
Too many pep's my lil bro wasn't much. For my family and mostly myself He was a wonderful person. He was a great son, brother, uncle, and Father. He would of done just about anything for his family. If I needed him, he was right there. I just want everyone to know How much he was loved and will be missed. No the Welfare system didn't support him, his family did. We work everyday to make ends meat just like anyother family. That is what family does they help with what they can. And to call ABC a Byoch. Wow, Really....I guess you are a big man to call a 17 yr girl, The niece of the victim a name. She was just trying to take care of her Uncle by your ignorant commit. My Family is grieving the loss of our loved one. The rude ignorant comments are not necessary. If you had the pleasure to have had my brother cross your path in life you would have a difference in opinion. And if you had the great pleasure of knowing him you will understand what I just said. RIP lil bro, close your eyes...No more worries. no more negative. It is a beautiful place you are going. One day we will be united again. Love your Big sis..I am going to miss you
#20 May 19, 2010
Big sis,
I was by no means trying to take away from what happened to your brother Timothy, may he rest in peace. My heart goes out to you and yours in your time of need, remember the good times henbrought into your life another life sencelessly taken way to early. I was shocked by the ignorance and cowardness showed by posting what they do under the cover of assumed names on the Internet! Peoples true colors shine through and it saddens me to think that after 17 years of service, this is still going on in my backyard. Timothy Rodriguez will be truely missed by all that knew him from the closest of his relatives to the distant. Please forgive and accept my condolances in your time of need. Peace be with you!

Outraged, I wasn't directing my comment to you. I am glad you spoke up. Many people don't do that. I have been reading blogs on the website for awhile and can't believe what people say. And how stupid they sound. It doesn't give a person the right to talk down or pass judgement on someone else. Before you do, look in the mirror cause I am sure you are not a Saint if you have a lot of skeltons in your closet. I tell my son and my bro kids, treat others the way you want to be treated. always show respect because not only do you represent yourself you represent this family. It is sad my kids are more well behaved and well mannered than grown adults. But I am honored to call them my children. Carlos Thank you for your kind words
#22 May 20, 2010
I can't believe people make comments to such tragedies. Why? Nobody cares anymore? Where do you live? Do you have anybody in the world that you love or care about? Are you lonely and rejected? Yet?I'm sorry to say that people like you are why people like you say such things. Did you know him? Do you think people being murdered is how its supposed to be?
#24 May 25, 2010
To Timothy's Family: May God's Love hold you, May His peace surround you, May you rest in His comfort, His Everlasting Care. I Pray for you all that your pain and sorrows lessen a little each day. That you share the good memories, the times when you smiled, loved and laughed with each other. Hold close to your hearts what was good, remember when he lived, when he loved, think on the kindness he gave to so many of us regardless of the tough times he struggled through. I remember times many of us made unkind remarks, just things and others during certain times, but you know, I don't remember Timothy doing that. I remember he made me laugh. I remember he softly would encourage me during bad times,often he called to see how I was, wrote letters and cared... I miss him too, my grief is hard, and I just wish I could tell him "I love you" once more. There's a lot of friends I know feel as I do, He has many of us all over and he did make a difference in people's lives which did a lot of good in this world.
I can just see him wrinkling up his face a little blowing off the rude inconsiderate, disrepectful remarks others have made in this forum... that's all he'd do. He loved and recieved love more than those things could ever stand against! I admire you "Big Sis" how you handled them too. I dont think I'd have been so easy on them. Guess thats proof enough of the Good Family you all are and I bet the people here would agree. God Bless all of you, Teresa
#25 Jun 6, 2010
He is and always will be forever in your hearts...My respects to you and your family..Keep your head held high and live life day by day....You are a very strong person as so was your brother. He didnt deserve for this too happen to him..
#26 Jun 7, 2010
I'm not saying I'm thrilled to the bone that this dude died, but he was a parolee and a gang member. This is what happens when you choose to live that kind of lifestyle. For everything we do, there is a consequence, whether good or bad.
To the family, I understand you're saddened by the loss of your relative, but let this be a lesson to you. When people choose to live a life of gang banging, this is how it ends a lot of the time. Say what you want, but that is the bottom line. Use his death as an example, and reach out to any other relatives who might be living that lifestyle. Share this story with your children so that they choose a different lifestyle.

Elimination of Obsolete Pesticide Stockpiles and Addressing POPs Contaminated Sites
What we do
Armenia still suffers from the legacy of a centralized command economy. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, an Union-wide program was initiated to collect the accumulated banned and expired pesticides from the distribution system and dispose them in landfills or burial sites. In 1990, it was estimated that 600 storehouses existed in Armenia.
These contaminated sites present major environmental and health concerns as most of them have a high risk of general release into the environment and into agricultural production.
In close partnership with the Government of Armenia, UNDP's efforts are aimed at:
- Protecting health and the environment by eliminating obsolete pesticide stockpiles;
- Addressing contaminated sites through a sound chemical management framework;
- Securing firm co-financing commitments for each of the project components both from national and international community.
Some results so far
An inception workshop and interim stakeholder consultation meeting were conducted.
Data gathering and site assessment exercise started.
The initial facility for hazardous waste storage has been identified, and disposal options are under investigation.

Josh Brolin as Dwight in 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For'
Revealed on Robert Rodriguez' Twitter feed is the first look as Josh Brolin as Dwight in "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller.
According to Spinoff Online, the new film will mix adaptations of existing Dark Horse comic stories including "A Dame to Kill For" and "Just Another Saturday Night" with new stories created by Frank Miller for the movie.
The film is a sequel to 2005′s "Sin City," which starred Clive Owen as Dwight; the change of actor makes sense in conjunction with the comics, as Dwight's face changes in between the graphic novels as well.
"Having a BLAST making this movie," director Rodriguez tweeted. "Amazing cast, and they're all doing fantastic work."

Dean's Welcome
Friends of the College of Nursing & Professional Disciplines,
Warm greetings! My family and I are very proud to have joined the Grand Forks and University of North Dakota community. I would like to take a moment to introduce myself so you know why I have chosen UND as my new home.
I was born and raised in Iowa, where we share many of the same values and virtues that North Dakota holds dear. After my first visit to Grand Forks this summer, it became clear to me that hard work, determination, thoughtfulness, and a sense of duty to improving your community and the lives of the people in it are paramount to the faculty, staff, and students that comprise this college. In this way we are kindred spirits, and I knew that I wanted to become a part of this community.
After completing my graduate work, I focused my practice and research on inner strength in women who are living with chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis. Despite differences in age, ethnicity, or cultural background, my belief that all women and their loved ones possess the ability to build strength through these difficult experiences was affirmed. In my short time here at UND I have found that a similar strength exists within our student body and the faculty and staff who have been charged with educating them in the professional fields of Dietetics, Nursing, and Social Work. It is truly an exciting time to be a Dean at UND as our service to the community and state continues to grow and exemplify this strength.
With the help of the many dedicated faculty, staff, and administrators of the college, I know that we will continue to build upon the sound foundation established over the 100 years of the CNPD. Our mission, vision, and values are simple yet meaningful to illustrate the direction we must follow to provide sound teaching, service, and research opportunities for our students and faculty. Our relationships within the college, as well as with community members and alumni, have created a springboard for establishing lasting partnerships to achieve mutual goals. The CNPD continues to strive to meet the health care and human service needs of the state. Together, we can achieve these goals as the UND leadership and budget remain amongst the best in the nation.
With your help, I know that our college will continue to expand our reputation as leaders in our respective fields.

Back to Segregation. (Comment)
Orfield, Gary, Eaton, Susan E., The Nation
Sit in classrooms, eat in lunchrooms, romp on playgrounds and wander the hallways in randomly selected public schools in America: It's right here, in the nation's increasingly segregated and astonishingly unequal schools, where one finds the most convincing case for keeping affirmative action intact.
The most recent statistics--compiled, analyzed and released by the Civil Rights Project, at Harvard--reveal that America's schools are now in their twelfth year of a continuing process of racial resegregation. The integration of black students, the new study shows, had improved steadily from the 1960s through the late 1980s. But, as of the 2000-01 school year, the levels have backed off to lows not seen in three decades.
It's true that the Supreme Court decisions and the enforcement of the 1964 Civil Rights Act that followed the Brown v. Board of Education ruling forced the South to desegregate. The region went, between 1964 and 1970, from almost complete segregation to becoming the most integrated region. After 1974, however, school integration efforts outside the South were stymied by the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in Milliken v. Bradley, which prohibited heavily minority urban systems from including nearby suburbs in desegregation plans. School districts in the North usually run coterminous with municipal borders. Thus, Northern school districts usually reflect housing segregation rates, which are highest there. In the 1990s, a new set of decisions by a more conservative Supreme Court required that many large (and successful) desegregation plans be dismantled across the country.
Nearly 40 percent of black students in 2000 attended schools that were 90 to 100 percent black--up steadily from a low of 32 percent in 1988. In 2000, about one-sixth of blacks attended schools where 1 percent or less of their fellow students were white. In 90 percent of these schools, the majority of children were poor. The average black student, meanwhile, attended a school where just 31 percent of students were white.
Latino students are America's most segregated minority group and have become steadily more segregated in recent decades. The average Latino student now goes to a school that is less than 30 percent white, a majority of the children are poor and an increasing concentration of students do not speak English.
Segregation is not a word commonly associated with white students, though it should be. Whites are the most racially isolated group in America's public schools. Statistics from the 2000-01 school year show that the average white student goes to a school where 80 percent of students are white. Only whites who live in the South and West have experienced increased racial integration over the years.
Segregation is so deeply sewn into America's social fabric that the media rarely see it. And policy-makers, social thinkers, pundits and "education reformers" steer around the gross fact of segregation as if it were heaven-ordained, without insidious cause or acceptable cure. …

Roth Capital believes that a recent article in the journal Schizophrenia Research could increase use of ACADIA's pimavanserin as an off-label schizophrenia treatment. The firm thinks that changes made to the current study of the drug compared with previous studies should cause it to yield statistically significant results, and Roth maintains a $3 target and Buy rating on the shares.

analysts. John Wayne was a Republican! Quick! Alert the media. The news is 50 years old and wrong, wrong, wrong.
What a totally pointless and meaningless post. Can you tell the difference between casual personal celebrity opinion and informed political analysis? Have you checked with Paris Hilton or any of the Kardashians? Or do you just not care? Don't bother, I know the answer. Anything that coincides with your bigotry and prejudices it's brilliant and right, If it doesn't it doesn't matter if it's the product of Economists who between them have 3 Nobel Prizes and a great deal of credibility with everyone but you and your ilk. (You know what an ilk is? No it's not a big deer.)
The Economists are Krugman 1 and Joseph Stieglitz 2 prizes. There are hundreds of others who agree with them but that doesn't matter to you either.
There's a word for posting bait like this on the forum. I'm surprised that your repeated provocation hasn't excited some response from the Moderators who used to be very quick to intervene at least against Liberals who posted provocative posts like this.
GoPro, Pixpro, or Ricoh?

I am a realtor representing the buyer of a foreclosure property that Dean Morris was handling. We did not close on time due to unfinished work on Dean Morris' part as well as neglecting to give us information that was required for us to close on time. When I would call to follow up, I was treated as though I was a nuisance & told this is the process get over it instead of kindly explaining the why they needed more time
