UPDATE:


August 10 there was another hearing at the Antelope Valley Courthouse for this case. Thanks to ANurse for taking the time to attend and report to us about the hearing. Because the hearing only lasted 10 minutes we will just present the coverage as an update here.


The judge and the attorneys were the same as at the preliminary hearing. There were 3 members of the accredited press at this hearing. When Stacey Barker was brought in she was very pale and appeared thinner than at her last appearance. She was wearing the yellow jailhouse attire and had put her hair up in a loose bun. She didn't make eye contact with anyone in the gallery.


During the hearing Stacey Barker again entered a Not-Guilty plea  to the Murder charge and the counts of  child abuse and assault on a child causing death.


The defense asked the court for more to time to file a response which the judge granted. (The state appears to have filed a motion either at or after the preliminary). The next hearing date is September 9. 



ORIGINAL ENTRY:


Judge Rules Stacey Barker Will Go To Trial For Murder of Emma


This entry will be a Tag-Team effort. Katfish will supply the background story, editing, pictures, and media links. Tori A attended both days of the preliminary hearing and wrote the "in the courtroom" report.



BACKGROUND



Emma Leigh Barker  was an 18 month old little girl who allegedly died at the hands of her mother Stacey Barker, 24 , of Lancaster, CA. I'll give a short summary in this entry but for full coverage and links to media coverage click here.

When Emma was first reported missing, Stacey Barker claimed she had been knocked out by "the kidnapper" as she loaded her daughter into her car seat as they left playtime at a local park on March 19. Barker claimed the next thing she knew she came to six hours later in her car now parked several miles away in a Palmdale park and ride lot, partially unclothed, injured and her daughter was missing. Because Barker did have injuries consistent with a struggle she was transported to the hospital for treatment and an Amber Alert was issued for Emma.


The next day Barker admitted making up the abduction story. She said the little girl died accidentally, causing her to panic (afraid she would be blamed) and leave the girl's body near the freeway. It was a month before Stacey Barker was arrested. Barker pleaded Not Guilty to charges of Murder, and one count each of assault on a child causing death and child abuse at her Arraignment on May 11 at the Antelope Valley Courthouse in Lancaster, CA . It was reported by the Sheriff's office spokesman that "Detectives believe that based on interviews and the condition of the victim that she likely suffocated."

Since Emma went missing and Stacey Barker was charged with killing her there has been next to no coverage of the case by the accredited press, locally or nationally. If this continues the defense shouldn't need to file a Motion for a change of venue, there would be no basis to support it.

Because of the lack of coverage, the information from here on will be based on reports by a woman named Toria who has been attending the hearings in this case.



DAY ONE
On July 21 the Preliminary hearing was held At the Antelope Valley Courthouse with Judge Carlos A. Chung presiding.


Deputy District Attorney S. Kelly Cromer represented the people and the defendant is represented by Deputy Public Defender, Roberto F. Dager.

The Defendant was non emotional except when the Coroner or Detective said something she didn't like, then she sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes and bitched to the PD...anything but tears!



Her hair was a rats nest, someone must have stolen her brush..hair down almost covering her face. When they were taking her handcuffs off the deputy was telling her not to try to touch any family members.

The Barker family and Stacey Barker's boyfriend Brendan (BB) were there. Emma's father Anthony and his mom were there also.

There were 2 motions filed by the defense:
      1. The defense motion to exclude media coverage is denied.

      2. The defense motion to allow defendant change into street clothes is denied.


The coroner, Dr. James Ribe was the first witness on the stand.

Dr. Ribe did not say a time of death at the hearing, what he did say was the state of the body when he got to it, full rigor mortis. According to the Coroner's report, Emma had an allergic reaction to peanuts, so her Doctor gave her dimetapp..... wellllll, she had 2x the dose for her age! The Coroner said Emma should have .15mpl of the allergy medication in her system if the baby had a reaction, but Emma had .30mpl.

Dr. Ribe also commented on the froth that was found, if she had choked on a baggie it would have had to have been stuffed way down in her throat and the froth from her lungs could not have passed the baggie so he KNOWS IT WAS SUFFOCATION.

Emma also had white rock type material in her belly (SB reported it was a piece of granola bar) Blood in both nostrils, among other things they found hairs on her vagina (coroner did not elaborate on what kind of hairs), blanket material on her face and grass and dirt on her back!

(I had to laugh at the Attorney for SB , he kept saying ,"SUFFERCATED" AND "SUFFERCATION". I was SUFFERIN' just listening to him. SSSUFFEREN SSSSUCCOTASH, LMAO. He should really learn how to say "suffocate" the right way.)

Second on the stand was the Deputy that arrived at the scene first, his name is John Alvares. When the sheriff arrives at the Park and Ride, all SB does is complain about HER HEAD..SHE MENTIONS EMMA ONLY1 OR 2 TIMES!
B I T C H......

Third was Elliot Uribe, I think he was the first Detective that SB talked to, I am not quite sure.


Next were Detective William Marsh and Detective Sandra Nava.
The information that Detectives William Marsh and Sandra Nava testified to was from the taped interview with Stacey Barker the morning she got out of the Emergency Room.

The Deputy District Attorney (DDA) wanted to play the video of the interview in court so the judge could see and hear for himself her cold demeanor when SB was telling the story, no tears or emotion...the judge said it is already 3:00 and that tape is 2 hours long so just do a summary for now.

According to Detective Sandra Nava"s testimony:

Stacey Barker (SB) and her boyfriend, Brendan (BB) were out until about 2 or 3 am on St.Patty's day at Coaches or some other bar and grill, the Detective could not remember the name SB told her. SB told Nava that her mom was watching Emma that night.


The next morning SB got up at her regular time and got dressed like she was going to work, went to BB house where they slept most of the day and other things, watched tv and then went to Pollo Loco for lunch, then she redressed in her work clothes and goes home like she worked all day!

Stacey feeds Emma dinner.....some dinner, a lunchable! Stacey and her mom get into a fight because mom feels SB is spending more time with BB and not Emma, so mom tells her that she is not going to watch Emma anymore for her to go party, only for work! SB gets pissed off and tells her brother that she is taking Emma to the park, in reality she is heading to Long Beach to see if Anthony (Emma's father) will give her more support money for Emma. I guess the answer was no!!!

On the way back to Antelope Valley(AV), the freeway is packed, stop and go traffic, Emma is getting restless at the length of the drive so SB gives her a purse to play with that has an empty zip lock baggie in it. (I always carry a empty baggie don't any of you?) Emma puts the baggie in her mouth, SB notices it but instead of removing it , she says she starts to play peek a boo with beautiful Emma putting a blanket over her face. While the baggie is still in her mouth, SB put her hand over Emma's mouth and nose and held it there for 2 to 3 minutes. Emma was trying to get Bitches hand off her face pulling at her arm with one hand at first, then struggling pulling at her arm with both hands...then EMMA'S LITTLE HANDS JUST FELL (hearing this the whole family was crying even BB..Anthony and his mother were sobbing..and I cried too).

Barker told detectives she removed the blanket and Emma's head is slumped to the side and the baggie is still in her mouth, she drives another 45 minutes with Emma dead with the baggie in her mouth, until she finds the off ramp at Roxford where she rids herself of Emma. SB said she took the baggie out of Emma's mouth and drives for about 15 minutes then throws the baggie out the window, goes to the park and ride and fakes the rest.

Detective Nava testified that SB said she did it because she didn't want Emma to turn out like her, knocked up early and living at home with the parents! Her mom and dad lost it when she said that! witch!

Truth is, BB did not want a ready made family, he claims to be single and loving his life with no kids to hold him down, that is what he told the Detectives!

Before they finished for the day the DDA started talking to Detective Nava about cell phone records but did not get past "yes we have them". Detective Nava's testimony will continue on Monday.

On Monday, they will show pictures of Emma's dead body and autopsy pics, I caught a peek at them when the DDA was looking at them....Just horrible, made me sick to see them.
I will be back on Monday for Emma.


Court ended at 4:30 and the Preliminary hearing will be continued on Monday, July 27 at 9:30 am.


DAY TWO



The Preliminary hearing  was short today, it started at 9:30. Stacey Barker again came in looking gaunt, messy and emotionless.

The first person on the stand was Detective Nava, as usual a great witness. She was so good, she made me get choked up, that has been easy to do listening to this case.
 
The PD started out questioning Nava about how long SB was interviewed, she estimated about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. He then said, " Did she stick to the same story the whole time, that it was a accident and not her fault."
Nava said the story changed a few times but yes she maintained that it was a accident. I would never hurt my daughter on purpose.


PD: Is it true that you thought she was lying?
Nava: Yes we knew she was lying.


PD: Did you throw out different scenario's of what might have happened?


Nava: Yes, I asked her if she might have drowned, shaken the baby, if she might have hit her too hard or something like that.


PD: And what was her answer?
Nava: Her answer was NO.



PD: Did you keep asking her to tell you what happened, the truth, that you were not buying her story of the events?


Nava: Yes.



PD: What did she say, did she stick to her original story?

Nava: No, she kept changing it.




PD: Didn't you tell her YOU wanted her to say she smothered EMMA?

Nava: NO, she said she didn't know what I wanted her to say and I told her I wanted the truth on how the baby died, because we already knew the truth. One story was she had the baggie in her mouth and when SB turned and looked Emma's head was to the side and she was dead, so she threw the blanket over her face and continued to drive. I wanted to know the truth. Having kids of my own I would have pulled to the side of the road and called for help... did something, so I knew this was a lie.
I told her  the coroner would know if Emma died from a baggie, if it was stuffed in her throat far enough to cause death, that the baggie would have left scratches in her throat and the coroner would know if she died from the baggie. That is when she changed the story to Emma had the baggie in her mouth and she was playing the game of peek a boo throwing the blanket in her face over the seat and it got caught on the seat and she smothered. After more questioning on that, she told the truth of holding her hand over Emma's mouth and nose with the blanket on her face during the peek a boo game.

 
PD: Isn't it true you told her the only way you were going to let her go home is to say she suffocated Emma?
Nava: No, we were not going to arrest her at that time anyway.


PD: Is that because you did not have enough evidence to hold her?
Nava: Started to say no but the DDA objected and Nava did not finish the answer.



PD: Did you tell SB that they found blanket fibers in Emma's lungs?
Nava: NO


PD: Isn't that standard practice to force someone into a confession?
Nava: NO



PD: Did you interview the whole family and they told you she was a good mother. That she ran for Emma every time she fell. That she rushed her to the Dr. when she had a reaction to peanuts?
Nava: Yes, everyone in her family said she was a good mother.


At this time the PD asked SB'S mom to step out of the room as he might want to call her as a witness to how SB treated Emma.



PD: Did you review the cell phone calls?

Nava: Yes, they pinged the path one would take to Long Beach, the last ping was...I believe Lawndale. So we know she never made it to Long Beach, she turned around and started back. That is when she put Emma out into the bushes, went to the park and ride where she hit herself in the ribs and banged her head on the steering wheel twice, took off her clothes and made up the Rape and Abduction story. She kept telling us she didn't want people to blame her and she was a good mother, it was a accident. She was in a panic, that is why she left Emma.



The PD asked for a dismissal of all charges, the Judge denied it.
Judge Chang also denied a bail reduction, or a release. Instead he ruled that Stacey Barker will be held over and tried for charges of Murder, and one count each of Assault on a Child Causing Death and Child Abuse .



All in all, everything stated above is what I remember, some wording or order it was said in might be off a bit, sorry. If anyone else from the boards was there and remember more then I did please add to it for me...thanks.


Not sure what the next date is for but it will be on 8/10/09.



There was another member of one of the boards there and put me on blast, she said my name so loud everyone in the Barker family looked at me, so they know who I am now, not that I care. I was not hiding or anything, it is a open hearing and public record. I just was embarrassed, the Barkers thinking OH that is the nosey bitch that has been doing all the typing...talking. LOL but it's all good.



I arrived at the court at 8am. I asked my daughter what room another person I know was in that is on trial. Anthony, Emma's father said,"Yes, it is in this room." I said, "Oh then Doroam is in here for sure this time?" He said, "Oh sorry, I thought I saw you in here last week and were asking about Stacey Barker (SB)." I told him I was in here, and in the other trial on breaks, but this one was more interesting.
 


I said I felt bad for him and how tore up he was last week. He told me he was Emma's father and that the guy with him was his brother Patrick. I told him how sorry I was for him and Emma and that he made me cry last week. He said," I am trying to be strong but sometimes it is just toooo much for me that is why I kept walking out".



I told him she was so beautiful and had the prettiest smile, the pictures were so cute. He said he bought her the pink tu tu in the pictures and I think he said he had the picture taken. He started to cry and walked to the water fountain. He also told me what Jason said about her playing games and using Emma against him and forbidding him and his family from seeing her, that in fact he did feel guilty for not trying harder to see Emma, that he loved her with all his heart.


His brother Patrick said that none of his brothers or sisters saw the baby until her 1st Birthday when they came down with Anthony, he said they have not seen her more then twice in her life.




Anthony shared a memory with me and we both almost started to cry and we hugged each other. I felt so bad for him, he does not seem like a bad guy. He looks like a clean cut guy, not tatted down, not dirty, did not look like a druggie, just a down to earth guy .



He had no problem with me being there or mad that I had nothing to do with this but was there being nosey and he was still comfortable enough to talk to me about Emma. He said he stays away from the blogs because he could not take it, he was a mess and to go on the blogs would make it just that much harder for him. He also did not like SB'S lack of emotion that hurt him and made him mad.


The Barkers do not seem to have a problem with Amthony as Mr.Barker asked him and his brother to come sit with the family. So why did they allow SB to hold Emma away from him?


I just want to close with KUDO'S to Detective Nava she is Awesome. this must be hard on her too, from the time she took the stand her voice was cracking like she could break down and cry at any moment. She is amazing, she tore into the PD like a lion when he said she was feeding SB the story and making her tell a lie as to what happened. She must have scared him because he shut the hell up on that bs defense...LOL you go girl!


If I remember more I will let ya know, and sorry to say I cannot attend the 8/10 because of Vacation plans..........Dammit. I know that my friend...you know who you are, will do a fine job of being our ears....;-) ttyl.....tori

Kudos Katfish and Tori!

Thank you for caring and seeing that this story gets some coverage. I'd like to thank Toria for her excellent court reportings. She has been the only source of obtaining information, due to the lack of attention the local media and newspapers have given this tragic story, Toria selflessly volunteered to become our "eyes and ears". Her colorful and detailed reports are so much better than the small snippet that the local paper had the next day. Not only do we get the news right away from Toria, we also get the right facts, not like a snippet from the local newspaper where by leaving words out, the facts are the taken out of context, making the news misleading.

I would also like to thank the dedicated followers in our group here, for caring, sharing, and support of one another. We are all here for baby Emma, trying to understand, and find out why she was needlessly murdered.

Thank you Now Public for allowing ths story to be heard and receive some more attention.

I second that Syn!

Toria and Katfish.....I am so proud to be on your team!....together we will all fight this to the end. And after that the end will be the beginning of continuing to remember Emma without the baggage of the one that brutally ended her life. Justice will prevail....I thank everyone on our team.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.  2 Timothy 3:1-4

If guilty, the woman was without natural affection mothers throughout the animal kingdom generally have for their offspring.  She is terrible and deserves almost any punishment. Just look at that beautiful child!  Murderous huzzie.

What she said!

Nurse, Kat and Syn,

You guys take my breath away!

I feel the love we all share for this child we did not know personally in life...

The universal Angel of the AV, She knows we are all pulling for her down here and one thing I am sure of is she will forgive her mother, as evil as SB was to her in life and deserves no forgivness, when it is time for SB to die because Emma  is with Jesus and he has taught her the lesson on forgiving.

Emma is blessed to have such wonderful caring ladies and men here on earth, sending her their love, kind words, prayers and keeping her memory alive everyday.

Until this happened I did not think people like the one's here still existed, today it all about being selfish, what can you do for me? I'm number 1 and don't forget it, I am too busy to care about someone I don't know, oh well sh** happens.

I have seen some of the most genuine and loving people on here and it gives me hope that all people can go back to caring about someone other then ourselves one day, as you all do.

HUGS  TO ALL OF YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. TORI

Thank you, BUT you are the one who has made all this "happen" if not for you, Katfish Ponders and other blog sites you are on it would still be just words on a page for My fellow Partners in Crime to read.

LCoastMom

This tag team is incredible. Even tho they live in different states, have families of their own. Commitments and responsibilies like everyone else.

They have both become voices for Emma. Her mother may have decided Emma shouldn't be seen or heard. But Tori and Kat will not let Emma go quietly.

Stacey Barker aka Smother Monster needs to pay for murdering her baby and leaving her body along side the freeway. We are all here to make sure she does.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I am honored to help advance this story; however, without Tori a and all of our friends "Team Emma" (you know who you are) here on NowPublic it would have been next to impossible for me to keep updated on this case from IL. Tori your devotion to attending these hearings and sharing the information is greatly appreciated and I look forward to continuing this endeavor.

 

Don't we all look regal with our medals. ; ~ )

Hello everyone,I didn't realize that I couldn't find the Blog either by just typing in the name of it. I don't know how that site works- so I will be emailing all of you how to access that site so our group can use it- so if any of you read this, be looking for an email from me.TTYL- :-)

Hi all, so are we all going to start commenting on the case here now? I don't understand why they closed off the other thread.... Glad to see ya all again! tori

katfish

Hey Toria!

I would like to continue posting some here on the chance that Max follows the link from the old thread. Evidently threads are only open for comments 3 months after the story is published....it has nothing to do with us...just their policy. So in 3 months this thread will close  for comments too.

Everyone,

Syn has created a private blog for us to use on wordpress, you will need to register with wordpress using the username  and e-mail she gave for each of us on the blog. I fixed the settings so we are all administrators so once you register and activate the account each time you  log in you will go right to the blog Syn made (unless you have more than 1 blog then I suppose you go to your profile page or dashboard page). The blog will be a good place to express opinions we may not want public about the case as she created the blog to be private to us....( now that some posters are getting sued for libel in the news lately, have you heard about the skanky people in NY blog)  of course when signed in here we can use private message option too.

Have plans been made for Emma's b-day? Who is going to the next hearing? I'm going to update this entry with the next hearing date....the hearing just lasted 10 minutes so not much to say. ANurse said she overheard some things but nothing to report in a public venue.

TTYL

I WAS a friend of SB and worked with her for years. When she brought Emma to work, she was such a happy baby and SB made it seem like she was her life... apparently we don't know people behind close doors. I am soooo disgusted by her. I wish her death! Anthony wanted to be involved in Emma's life. But SB made it clear that if he wasn't with her, she was not going to let him see her. Which is exactly what happened. She has no problem telling people that. As soon as she gave in for him to see her, she again wanted Anthony back. And since he wasn't going back to SB, he could no longer once again see Emma. Just crazy!There was always something alittle off about SB. However, at work her desk was covered with pictures of Emma. SB gave me a Xmas photo of her and Emma last Xmas, that pic is now on my desk, with SB cut out and only Emma there. I keep it on my desk as a reminder she will get justice and she never deserved her fate. SB could have simply given Emma to her grandparents if she didn't want her. I was curious what really happened and because of your page, I know now. Thank you sooooo much for keeping this log! I will keep checking weekly for the latest to till case is closed and that bitch is sentenced. Please keep this page going and I thank you for taking the time to write this! Thank you for keeping Emma alive is spirt. She was sooo precious!

To Heartbroken,

Hello and I'm glad that you found this site!

Thank you for sharing that info with us here. I don't blame you for cutting the part of sb out of the xmas photo, I would have done the same thing. I don't feel that sb deserves to be seen portraying a loving "mom" after she murdered her precious baby girl.

It has been told by a friend of sb's that she was a loving mother to Emma. What in the world happened? I guess no one will ever know, maybe not even sb herself.

I cannot believe these babies get killed my their "moms" over a boyfriend not wanting kids. There has to be more to it than that reason alone.

If even one of these single momsters who have killed their children would be questioned and analyzed by a competent psychologist, I wonder if that could possibly shed a little light on the mind set of these child killing momsters, and what sets them off.

Out of the latest rash of these single women who have killed their babies, none of them have ever been reported or accused of child abuse or being neglectful moms- in fact they have been portrayed as "loving" mothers, of course a lot of this has to do with the grandparents seeing to the babies welfare of being well clothed, housed and fed. 

I feel for Anthony and how sb played him, using Emma as the tool between them. That's downright mean and selfish to keep the baby's father and his family from seeing Emma. That would only be hurting Emma, Anthony, and his family by her misguided actions. Shame on her.

TTYL, hope to hear from you again.

Heartbroken

You guys are all great! Trust me I'm 100% onboard with everything you are saying on here. So let the SB bashing continue. : ). The bitch gets what she deserves. Hopefully someone already handed her ass to her in jail. She should be a target. Anyways, I had a friend over last night who is a best friend of a guy she use to date prior to BB. We got to talking about how his friend felt about the whole crazy SB thing. SB only dated this guy for 2 weeks he dumped her because she was starting to act crazy. Telling him that she loved him and wanted her to be Emma's dad and get married. That was his sign to get out quick. I remember SB telling me this story and I even thought she was crazy. She was desperate for someone to accept her and her daughter right away. SB and I were pregnant at the same time. I look at my little girl and could not imagine doing anything to harm her. She is a sick bitch that is for sure. I'll keep looking for the new link. Take care everyone! Thank you for welcoming me in the group.

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing ok....the previous post from heartbroken was heartbreaking....it also comes after recognizing SB's mom today...she was at a store checking out as I was coming in...I just froze....she seemed so sad...dark sunglasses hid part of her sad face...among a few things she was buying was a beautiful boquet of flowers...probably for Emma...everyday I think about Emma....especially now trying to coordinate her bday celebration...I can't even imagine what Mrs. Barker is going through...

Hello Heartbroken...I am glad you were able to find this thread....all who post here are truly wonderful people....Thank you for sharing your story....It must be extremely difficult for you to have known SB as a friend, and to have known Emma....and then have it come to this...you hear about this kind of stuff all the time on the news....but when it happens to someone you know, it hits a completely different level....my encounter with SB and Emma was somewhat brief but very meaningful...it was on a professional level, right around when Emma was born....when I heard the news of Emma's death I was devistated and still am....I can't even imagine being one of her friends or a family member...I never participated in the "blogging world" until Emma's story... this case led me to the people who blog here...what a great group I found...take care, hope to hear from you again.

Hi there all....

I hope you are doing well....To HeartBroken  welcome to NP....I dont blame you one bit for tearing SB face out of the pic, Emma was such a precious gift from god, and smother mother did not realize what a true angel she had......I knew SB from about 3 years ago, when she worked with my husband, and did not really like her even then, she just seemed not right, I could never pinpoint why I did not like her, I just knew I did not like her, I guess that I knew deep down she was in need of a straight jacket, I just wish SWEET EMMA did not have to suffer for us to realize that.....

I know SWEET EMMA' s b day is coming up, it will for sure be a sad day....

ANurse, wow you saw SB mom looking sad buying flowers, Im sure for SWEET EMMA how sad....I feel for the family, it's horrible that sb did this to them EMMA was there world...

I know there is a certain person who has said that sb was a great mom and was just dealing with issues that the average person did not have to deal with , but I dont care what they were, EMMA should not have been killed...Alot of people are single moms, have a kid young, dont have daddy in the pic, want to still have there party life, want to have a bf, and have to work to support them self and the baby, but they dont kill there baby.... SO I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT THAT FANCLUB PRESIDENT SAYS SB WAS A PSYCHO IN NEED OF A STRAIGHT JACKET AND DESERVES HELL FOR WHAT SHE DID TO EMMA, REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER "ISSUES " OR  "PROBLEMS " SHE WAS DEALING WITH....IAM SORRY BUT BEING A SLUT AND A DUMBASS DOES NOT GIVE YOU A EXCUSE TO KILL YOUR INNOCENT BABY...

I know this sounds mean but I also know that all of my "OCTUPLETS " will agree with me... As far as Heartbroken  I know what I said sounds like Iam a bitch, Iam sorry, but Iam sure you are here for the same reasons as all of us  JUSTICE FOR EMMA ....I promise you we are all really nice and sweet people who just dont get how a  SWEET  PRECIUOS LIFE CAN BE TAKEN AT THE HANDS OF THE PERSON WHO GAVE BIRTH TO HER...

ok I guess Iam done being mean for know....I will email  soon with more info, I have to figure out how to do a group email...
