GMC H-80 Case Review

Price: TBD
When one hears GMC, they usually think of the automobile manufacturer General Motors Corporation. But that is a different company and no, they did not branch out into the computer chassis market. Instead, GMC is a Korean based company and they have been hard at work designing cases and over the last year, they have managed to release a few unique products to the market. The GMC case we are going to be looking at today is the new H-80. This case comes with some slick features such as red LED fans, a front panel display and has a clean, black design. On top of these, the case comes with more features that will aid in the function and setup of the case, but the best way to see what the H-80 offers is by using it, so let's get this review started.
Closer Look:
The H-80 comes packaged in a large red and black box. The front of the packaging is nicely done, with the top peeling back to reveal the case name, an image of the H-80 below the name and icons and specifications below that. The back of the packaging has a few more pictures of the case, but this portion's main purpose is to inform potential buyers of the features that are utilized by the case and how they work. Each side of the H-80 packaging has an image of the case, with one side being dedicated to the features and the other to the specifications.
The H-80 comes wrapped in a plastic layer with two Styrofoam inserts on each side, for protection. One of the inserts arrived cracked, but luckily there was no visible damage to the case. The accessories that are included with the case come packaged in one of the open 5.25" drive bays in the case and comes packaged in a neatly organized plastic container. The accessories found in this container are tool-less installation rails, installation screws, speaker cable, zip ties and a 4-pin power extender. There is also a user manual and an extra fan filter cover with the accessories, but these are found taped to the container and not within it.
With the case out of the packaging, let's move on and start our closer look.
Closer Look:
The GMC H-80 is a mid-sized steel/plastic chassis that comes with a nice clean outer design. The front bezel is all plastic and instead of using a removable bay covers, the H-80 uses ones that stay connected to the bezel and are pushed down by the opening drive. With this design the DVD drive will be hidden behind the front bezel, which depending on your preference, can help the look of the case. Turning the case around you see the steel all black rear panel. This panel has a two-way bottom-mounted power supply area, which can accommodate an ATX power supply with the fan either facing up or down. Above the PSU installation area you have seven expansion slots, two water-cooling tube holes, a rear 120mm exhaust fan and the rear I/O port area. Each side of the case has a different look to it and these looks are part of the functions. The side with the fan has a large square area that will hold either one large 250mm case fan (which is included) or up to 4 optional 80mm fans. The whole square area has a large dual-layer dust filter in it that is easily removed for cleaning. The dual-layering makes the filter feel very thick, which should make it more effective at keeping dust out of the case. This side also has two rectangular vents that look nice and will aid in the air-flow as well. The other side panel is plain for the most part, but it does have a section that is elevated out a bit from the rest of the panel. This will create more room for cable management, which will help the cables you store behind the motherboard tray and still be able to put the side panel back on.
The control panel on the H-80 is found at the top of the front bezel and has a very nice and spacious layout. The power and rest switches are large, easily accessible and work very well. These switches are found above the I/O ports and each has a icon to display the function, the power switch has a red power icon and there is a white R on the the reset switch. Between the two buttons is a rectangular display screen that has the power light, HDD activity light and a temperature display. Below the display screen is the front panel I/O ports, which have four USB ports, one E-SATA port and audio ports. Everything on the front panel is controlled by cables that enter the case through the the top drive bay and connect to either your motherboard headers or power cable from your power supply. The only cable that doesn't connect to anything is the sensor for the temperature reading on the front screen, as this cable is instead placed near a location that you want to get readings for, such as the CPU or chipset.
As stated before, the front bezel does not have removable bay covers and instead uses permanent ones that are pushed open or closed by the drive behind them. This gives the front panel a uniform look, that wont be changed regardless of what is in the internal bay. Below the bays is a front intake access area that also works the same way and this area has a 120mm intake fan behind it that can be accessed by lifting up the front cover. This will allow you to clean the fan filter without having to remove the entire front bezel. When it does come time to remove it though, for installation of drives or to take the fan out, it is extremely easy and all you need to do is pull up from the bottom of the bezel.
The bottom of the case has two ventilation areas. The one closest to the rear of the case is where the power supply will be and the other is for an optional 120mm case fan. An extra fan at the bottom can supply or remove extra air from the case, but with airflow being limited to due to carpet and the case sitting low to the ground it might not really help to have a fan here. To improve the airflow to the power supply though, the case has four rubber feet that are around an inch in size, that will hold the PSU off the bottom of the case. These feet will help create some room for air to travel though and they will also make the case stand in a more stable and secure manner, so it can't be easily knocked over.
Closer Look:
The GMC H-80's internals are all steel, clean, simple and like the rest of the case, black in color. The first inner portion we are going to look at is the motherboard installation tray. This tray will support different motherboard form factors ranging from Micro ATX, ATX and Full ATX, which will give you a lot of options when considering a motherboard . There are a few cutouts on the tray itself and these holes are used for the purpose of making installation easier and also the help reduce cable clutter. The large square hole is the CPU back-plate access area, which sits directly behind the processor area and smaller rectangular holes that are used for cable management. These holes extend down to the bottom portion of the tray and will allow you to easily route your cables behind the motherboard tray, which will make for a cleaner look inside the case. Also to aid in hiding the cables, there are small anchors throughout the tray that will let you secure the cables to the motherboard tray with zip ties. There seems to be a good amount of room in the case and GMC lists the supplied space at 11.4", which is enough room for most graphics cards on the market, but not all. This will exclude larger cards such as the ATI HD5970, but this is the case with many of the mid-sized chassis, so it is not a real issue.
The front expansion areas all use tool-less rails that are color coded per area of use for installation. There are two open slots for installing 5.25" drive bays and one open slot for a 3.5" floppy drive. There are a few extra installation areas on the top drive bay, but only the three I mentioned have access to the front of the bezel. Below the 5.25" and 3.5" floppy drive bays is a HDD cage that can hold up to five internal 3.5" drives, which also uses tool-less rails for installation. At the back of the case is the bottom mounted PSU area. This area has four rubber stoppers that will elevate the PSU off the bottom of the case to improve airflow. The H-80 has a two-way mounting system that will let you install your PSU with the fan either facing up or down. Above the PSU area are seven expansion slots, which are covered by removable metal covers. This is where expansion graphics and sound cards will go. The back portion of the case also has a rectangular ventilation area, water-cooling access holes, rear I/O hole and a rear exhaust fan. There is also another exhaust fan at the top of the case.
The H-80 comes with a removable side directed HDD cage that can hold up to five 3.5" drives. To install the hard drives you simply insert a tool-less rail on each side and slide it into the cage. When installed the drives SATA connectors will be at the back of the cage, which will allow the cables to easily be routed to the drive and also help them be less visible. To make installation easier and allow access to the front intake fan, this cage can be removed. To take the cage out, you remove the thumb-screw that is securing it into place and then you push down on the tab at the top and once this is done it slides right out of the chassis.
The CPU access area on the H-80 is large enough to be able to fit across multiple socket types. From this area you can remove or inset a back-plate for an after-market heatsink without having to remove the motherboard from case. This makes the whole process very easy and its addition has saved me many headaches since cases have started to use this design.
Looking for info about the included case fans did not yield many results, so let's discuss what we do know. There are four included fans with three of them being 120mm in size and the fourth being a 250mm fan. The 250mm fan is on the side panel, has red LEDs and is a 12v fan with a 0.24 draw. The three 120mm fans come with two being regular black case fans and the third is a red LED fan. The two black models are 12v fans with a 0.18a draw, with one having a three pin header and the other a 4-pin Molex connector. The red LED fan is used to bring in air though the front and is a 12v fan with 0.22a.
Installation in the H-80 was very easy and the cable management system did a decent job of hiding the cables out of the way. There was an issue with the cable management though and this was that the H-80 does not have enough room between the back of the motherboard tray and the side panel. This made it extremely hard to get the panel back on, even with all the cables zip tied down. Other than that though, the case had a good amount of space for all of the installed components and when turned on, the red LED fans and front display added to the appeal of the case. As you can see from the last image, the front bezel and display have some very glossy parts, which can collect finger prints easily.
Next up, we are going to take a look at the cooling performance of the GMC H-80.

To cool the internal components, the H-80 uses four included case fans that bring in cool air from the front and side of the case and exhaust the hot air at the top and rear. This set-up should ensure that there is plenty of air-flow throughout the case and due to this constant flow of air, the hot internal areas such as the CPU, chipset and GPU should see a reduction in temperature at both idle and load. To read the temperature levels I will be using HWMontior before and after some stress testing and uploading the results into the graphs below, so we can judge the cooling performance to other cases from different companies.
Testing System:
- CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955
- Motherboard: ASUS M4A79T Deluxe AM3
- Memory Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 9-9-9-27
- Nvidia GTX260 Core 216
- Power Supply: Zalman 750 Watt modular power supply
- Hard Drive: Seagate 750GB 7200.11
- OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
- Case: GMC H-80
Comparison Cases:
- NZXT Hades
- CM 690 II Advanced
- IN WIN Fanqua
- Antec Three Hundred
The GMC H-80 was right in line with the other cases in terms of cooling performance.
For the most part the GMC H-80 is a decent case that has a lot going for it. But it also, unfortunately has some issues that just couldn't be overlooked. First let's talk about the good aspects of the case. The H-80 is a mid-sized steel chassis that has a unique front bezel and design that give the case a nice look. There are four included case fans that come with the H-80, with two being red LED fans that will add red accents to the case when powered on. All of these included fans really help create a good amount of airflow throughout the case, reducing the system temperature to a very acceptable level that was equal to comparison models. These fans also managed to stay relatively quiet during operation, which was quite nice considering their cooling performance. Each intake fan on the H-80 has its own filter that will prevent dust from entering the case and are easily removed for cleaning. Best of all the though, is that the 250mm fan has a thick double layer filter that will let airflow though, but will stop more dust from entering the case than an average filter. Another nice feature of the H-80 is the large CPU access area. The access hole is large, fitting well with my Asus motherboard and a Gigabyte motherboard I put in for good measure. All of these positive aspects really helped the H-80 a great deal.
Some of the aspects of the case that could use improvement though, are the cable management system and flimsy front bezel. The cable management system utilized by the H-80 is decent at hiding the power supply cables, but this wasn't the issue. The issue came when it was time to close up the side panel that needs to be taken off while routing the cables. With all the cables running along the back of the motherboard tray there just was not enough room between the tray and the side panel to easily close it up, even when using the zip ties, I had to push very hard on the panel to get it on and even after I thought it was in place it popped off a few times. I am sure if you tediously route each cable with great care and take your time you might not run into this issue, but my guess is you still will. The other issue I had with the case dealt mainly with the front bezel, which looked nice, but was prone to finger prints due to it being very glossy and a few specific parts on the bezel felt rather flimsy. The offending parts are the drive bays and the I/O panel, which could have just been secured or designed a little better.
Looking at the case as a whole, the GMC H-80 is more than adequate. It has a good look with a decent amount of functions, but a fair share of issues as well. Ultimately for me, it comes down to what GMC lists the price at. If it is around $75 dollars it could be a real bargain, but if it comes in over $100 dollars it would be overpriced for what you get.
- Looks good
- Good cooling performance
- Fan filters
- Four included fans
- CPU back-plate access
- Quiet
- Difficult cable management
- Non-removable bay covers feel flimsy
- Front I/O panel feels flimsy
- Glossy front panel attracts finger prints

There are few things more gratifying than knowing you've made a difference that will last a lifetime. That is the joy of pediatric contact lenses. Even the best contact lens fit, however, will only be as successful as the dispensing.
Pediatric contact lens dispensing starts with a firm, yet kind, discussion about the contact lenses. Caregivers must "buy in" to the process or the lenses will be useless. Stress that a lens does not hurt the child, rather, the child may protest because of the physical restraints and touching of the face/lids. If the caregiver backs off when the child screams, he is likely to scream harder the next time. Conversely, if the caregiver perseveres, the child will protest progressively less.
There are many theories on pediatric lens application that vary by lens type and the age of the child. As a general rule, infants are fairly easy until the age of 6 months. Nine- to 15-month olds are probably the most difficult. This is when children learn that they have control of the environment, but before the age of reason. After 18 months, it gets progressively easier. Children this age may also be able to tell you if there is a problem with the lens.
Practices vary in theory on whether lenses should be removed daily. There are several reasons why we believe lenses should be removed daily:
• Children work better in a routine.• Caregivers become more proficient at handling the lens.• Children become more comfortable with lens application. Contact lenses will certainly come out at inconvenient times, and it's best if they can be re-applied without fuss.• Lenses stay cleaner, which will lead to better comfort, fewer infections, and better optics.• It's easier for caregivers to inspect the lens.
Caregivers should watch for lenses to decenter or pop out. Advise caregivers that they need a back up lens in case the original lens is lost.
Children have even been known to eat their lenses! If a lens is found in a diaper, tell care-givers that soft lenses should be discarded, while a GP contact lens can be cleaned and sterilized in the usual manner.
RSVP stands for redness, secretions, visual blurring (if a child can communicate this), and pain. Caregivers need to be aware of these symptoms and remove the lens immediately and notify the practitioner if they occur.
The wearing time should be approximately six to eight hours the first day, 10 hours the second day, and then all waking hours. Children may nap in lenses, but they should be removed at night.
Children may take over lens removal at ages 4 to 5 years, application at 6 to 8 years, and cleaning/care at 10 to 12 years. Of course, this depends on the maturity/dexterity of the child.
Caregiver compliance is necessary for follow-up appointments. During the evaluation, obtain a good lens history. Make every attempt to assess visual function, keeping in mind that caregiver impression is important. Perform a refraction and/or retinoscopy along with a check of the lens fit and evaluation of physiological tolerance.
You can also use this time to re-educate patients and caregivers in certain aspects of lens care or application/removal.
Financial assistance is another issue of discussion. Caregivers may have only minimal eye coverage, if any. Funding may be available through state agencies such as Medicaid, with a letter of medical necessity from you.
Lens care in children is time consuming and can be stressful, but also rewarding and wonderful. If the dispensing is done correctly, it sets parents and children up for years of positive vision. CLS

Take it easy with clamping pressure
Q: As a newcomer to woodworking, I'm not sure how much clamping pressure to use on joints made with woodworker's yellow glue. Can you give me some guidelines?
—John Burns, St. Paul, Minn.
A: John, the short answer is that a good-fitting joint with the right amount of glue doesn't require tremendous pressure. The clamps just serve to hold the surfaces in contact while the glue dries.
However, let's assume that most joints fall short of perfect, and benefit from enough force to push them into complete contact. Dale Zimmerman of Franklin International, maker of Titebond woodworking glues, recommends 100 to 150 pounds per square inch (psi) for clamping softwoods and 175–250 psi for hardwoods. When we tested one-handed bar clamps (issue 139), we found that they provided pressure just into the softwood range or a bit less. Squeeze those clamps as hard as you can. But R. Bruce Hoadley, author of the book Understanding Wood, reports that other kinds of clamps, including the bottom three pictured at right, can produce far more pressure than needed. So don't go beyond "snug" when tightening those clamps.
The maximum recommended clamping pressure for most joints is 250 psi. Putting all your muscle into many common clamp styles generates excess pressure that could force out most of the glue and produce a weak bond.
For more in-depth information on gluing and clamping, visit our Gluing and Clamping section in the WOOD Store.
(part 2 of comment) Now, the force actually applied by each clam is missing from the article. Assuming the author erroneously rated the clamps in psi instead of pounds, and thus that a pipe clamp can exert 1000lb, you need about 9 0r 10 such clamps in order to achieve the required 9600lb (of course pipe clamps will be distributed evenly). If your countertop is 2", the glueing surface is double that, and thus you need close to 20 pipe clamps to achieve the same pressure (psi).9/30/2014 09:37:22 AM Report Abuse
I agree with Jim, and unfortunately this article is at best misleading (sorry). Clamps should be rate in pounds, NOT in psi. The clamping force for a given joint can only be computed once you know the clamping area and the required clamping pressure. For instance if you want to laminate a 4 ft, 1"-thick countertop, your glueing surface is 4x12x1=48 sq-in. In order to achieve the required pressure, say 200 psi, the total force should be 200x48=9600lb. (continued...)9/30/2014 09:36:31 AM Report Abuse
I think the point to the article was: don't use more clamping force than needed to get you pieces flush with each other, one thing the article didn't note was that most of us can get on a given clamp enough to make it flex, if you find yourself doing that in order to get the pieces joined you need to find a stronger clamp and use more moderate hand preasure3/6/2010 09:53:13 AM Report Abuse
Sounds like an article in the making testing the techniques and pressures applied to boards and how they hold up under duress.1/10/2010 06:52:21 AM Report Abuse
Jim, your first comment is correct add this onto the sentence->(..20 psi per square inch). But I think what the authors are saying is if the pads on the clamps measure 1" square you would only apply the max force on that pad. yes it is distributed over the area you are gluing thus lowering the amount of force per sq. inch. Your last sentence is the way I do it, just enough to get a small bead of glue.1/8/2010 11:44:06 AM Report Abuse
Chris: PSI is a measure of force (pounds) applied to an area (square inches). One clamp applying 200 pounds of force to one square inch gives 200 psi; one clamp applying 200 pounds of force to 10 square inches gives 20 psi. The article confuses force (what the clamps provide) with pressure (which depends on the size of the area being glued). Spread your glue thinly and evenly and use enough force to get an even row of droplets squeezed out.1/8/2010 07:23:03 AM Report Abuse
Jim i think the answer to your question would be that, pounds per square inch relates to a measurement of pressure, like 1 inch or 32/32nds is a measurement of leigth.so if i apply 250 psi it also means that its 250 pound per inch regardless of how many inches you are appling it to, no differant than putting 32 P.S.I. of air in a tire regardless of how big the tire is. Chris1/7/2010 10:49:56 PM Report Abuse
Thanks for the answer to this one, Im just starting to get into the wood and recently purchased serveral types of clamps so i could start glueing boards. Right on time for me. Thanks again, Chris from St. Louis, mo.1/7/2010 10:35:01 PM Report Abuse

Our opposition to the financing of mountaintop removal coal mining by PNC Bank continues at the University of Delaware
In August, and again in September, we spread the word about the hazards of mountaintop removal coal mining on the University of Delaware's Newark campus with the University of Delaware's Students for the Environment (S4E) and the Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT).
PNC Bank, the University of Delaware's official bank, is a leading financier of mountaintop removal coal mining in the U.S. Our effort on UD Campus is to educate students about the role of banking with PNC Bank in mountaintop removal coal mining, and to encourage UD students to choose another bank for their campus banking needs.

The Year Ahead
Forecast for January 2007 to January 2008
With the Sun conjunct Chiron around the time of your birthday this year, you are likely to be recognized for your more unique qualities. Your personal magnetism runs quite high. You have the chance to improve your relationships with others--and with yourself! A humbly confident approach to life earns you respect. You tend to be looked upon favorably by others. You have the chance to shine, largely because you are projecting yourself with self-respect and modesty at once. You are especially appealing and charming just by being yourself. Opportunities—both personal and professional—are likely to present themselves as a result. You are not looking for credit for what you do, which frees you up to get it anyhow! Teaching others may be part of the picture, informally or formally.
Venus sextiles Pluto in your Solar Return chart. Romantic relationships and attractions have a fated quality to them this year. This could be a year when you fall in love, and this could be with a person, an activity, or a cause! Meeting someone who transforms your life, and more specifically your values and attitude towards love, is possible under this influence. Strong existing relationships are likely to grow and transform in rewarding ways, as you are more open than usual to intensity and passion. Your finances could also improve dramatically this year. However, do watch for impulsive decisions regarding both love and money this year.
Mars in challenging aspect to Saturn suggests some ups and downs in the year ahead due to your plans and efforts meeting with resistance. At times, circumstances seem to block your efforts to assert yourself, and you might feel like more effort than usual is required to complete tasks, which could lead to some frustration. Patience is necessary because progress may not always be steady, and energy can be stop and go.
Mercury conjuncts Neptune and opposes Saturn in your Solar Return, and intuition runs high. You are more sensitive artistically, your imagination is stirred, and you have an increased appreciation for subtleties. You may experience a need for solitude when you work, or you may often retreat to work on specific projects on your own. You might be required to travel for business purposes. This influence can also indicate that the maturity of young people in your life becomes an issue or area of focus. You may struggle at times with misunderstandings, misinformation, and wishful thinking. Verify the facts before making decisions and avoid taking precipitate action. Read all the fine print before signing a contract or making an agreement. Things that seem glamorous in your dreams may reveal their flaws in the light of day.
There is a tight square between Jupiter and Uranus in your Solar Return chart. The desire to expand and explore is very strong this year. Freedom is what you seek, and how you deal with this issue is the key to how this influence will play out. If you recognize your need for changes in key areas of your life and adapt accordingly, this can be an exciting year of discovery. However, if you resist change and insist on keeping things status quo, you are bound to feel very restless, tense, and rebellious. Still, making healthy changes should be the focus--change for the sake of change is not what you should be concentrating on. Do your best to think before you leap. Situations in your life that seem to curtail your freedom could be hard to handle now. Spontaneity, not impulsiveness, is the key to success this year.
While you could experience some delays and obstacles surrounding your personal projects this year, it's also a strong period for personal magnetism, confidence, and influence. Strategic planning with your finances brings reward and increase--avoid hasty decisions in this area. Social and romantic relationships are likely to improve, evolve, and transform.
2008 will be a Number Two year for you. Ruled by the Moon. This is a year of potential companionship. It is a quiet, gentle, and mostly harmonious year that is less active than other years. Instead, you are more responsive to the needs of others. If you are patient and open yourself up in a gentle manner, you will attract both things and people. This is an excellent year in which to build and develop for the future. Advice - be patient, be receptive, enjoy the peace, collect.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday implored Senate colleagues to support a sweeping overhaul of federal sentencing guidelines, saying they disproportionately affect minorities and are reminiscent of Jim Crow laws.
"There is no justice here," said the libertarian and potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate. "It is wrong and it needs to change."
Paul recounted from memory to a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee several cases he said he'd learned about where mandatory minimums had resulted in a miscarriage of justice.
He said one man, Edward Clay, was arrested with less than 2 ounces of cocaine. Even as a first-time offender, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison because of mandatory sentencing guidelines, Paul said.
"Each case should be judged on its own merits," Paul said. "Mandatory minimums prevent this from happening."
Paul said when he described the effects of mandatory minimum sentences, "you might think I was talking about Jim Crow laws. The war on drugs is disproportionately affecting black males."
He was referring to post-Civil War laws that effectively preserved racial segregation and unfair treatment for minorities.
Paul has drafted legislation with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy to give judges wider latitude to craft their own sentences as one way to relieve prison overcrowding and bring down the exploding costs of running prisons. The committee is looking at that bill and another that focuses on waiving mandatory minimum prison terms in some drug cases.
There are more than 218,000 federal prisoners, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, a number that grown from about 25,000 federal prisoners in the 1980s, when many mandatory penalties were put in place.

My granddaughter has a little bit of a runny nose . She's not eating very much and is sleeping a lot . Is this normal or is there something we should do .posted 04/04/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
To the mom who said her daughter had her first cough at 7 months, you are so lucky! My daughter started daycare about a month ago and has been sick pretty much the entire time. It breaks my heart to hear her cough like that.posted 04/17/2013 by bfranco6
Yes it's normal. It's good for them to sleep a lot. But wake them up every 6 hrs to eat. If ur babe is over 4 months give them some warm water. No more then 4 ounces a day. Breastfeeding also helps them get better n fight their colds. My 7 month old has her first cough. It's very scary. My doctor said to keep them hydrated, coddle them a lot for comfort, keep them elevated when they're sleeping too. Helps them breathe better. Also a steamy shower going for 15 mins or a humidifier especially at night helps them breathe better also. It may make them cough more but that's good cuz it breaks up the mucus so they can cough it up easier. The doc also said it could take up to 10 days for it to go away. :( Good luck!posted 11/17/2012 by peacechick_70
It is good for your baby to get lots of rest while sick to fight his/her cold. After six hours its important to wake your baby to eat. Your babies must stay hydrated. Babies younger then 4months only breastmilk or formula. 4+months little warm good water. 6+months a little baby juice. Mamiandjav I think it would be a good idea to always call your pediatrician. Well for everyone whenever in doubt always call your pediatrician, if after hours every hospital has a nurses line. It's better to know the facts so if it happens again you well be ready to kick the cold in the butt ;)posted 02/05/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
my sister said it's fine but after 6hrs wake your child up to eatposted 01/31/2011 by stacey2436
Did either of you get answer to this yet? I am wondering the same thing. My son is 8 weeks old today and has been really congested for the past two days. He also has a cough. He slept really solid last night and again right now. NOT normal for him.posted 01/29/2011 by Mimiandjav
I don't know, but my baby is also sick right now and it's the first time he's ever slept 12+ hours straight -- and I even had to wake him up! He's 7 months old right now, and has been sleeping a lot at night and taking very long naps over the last few days.posted 01/18/2011 by dorislevine

Journey through nearly 14 billion years of history with the Big History Project, now available on Khan Academy. This course asks the big questions about our Universe, our planet, life and humanity. Examine our shared history across scales and disciplines. From the Big Bang to our still expanding universe, this course, created and maintained by the Big History Project, will lead you on a journey of astounding connections and exciting discoveries.About Image Community Questions
1. What Is Big History?
Where did everything come from? How did we get to where we are now? Where do humans fit in? Where are things heading? These are questions that origin stories of different cultures have addressed for thousands of years. Big History attempts to answer them by examining the entire past of the Universe using the best available ideas from disciplines such as astronomy, chemistry, biology, and history. Throughout the course, you'll explore different scales of time and space and view human history from new angles. You'll learn what we know and what we don't, consider our place in the Universe, and develop your own ideas for what the future may hold.
2. The Big Bang
Big History will introduce you to many new ideas and claims. You won't simply accept these claims as facts and move on. You'll be encouraged to test them. You'll learn how to evaluate information presented to you, and be encouraged to decide for yourself what to believe and what to investigate further. This is how our thinking advances. Today's scientific view of the history of the Universe is based on the work of thousands of scientists and scholars over thousands of years. People built upon each other's work. New technology and new observations have led to ever sharper theories about the Universe and its beginnings. As you study how these views have evolved, you'll develop your own skills for testing the claims of others and making claims of your own.
3. Stars & Elements
By 200 million years after the Big Bang, the Universe had become a very dark and cold place. Then things started to change. First, galaxies and nebulae formed. These were the earliest structures in the Universe. Then stars – "hot spots" of light and energy – emerged from these clouds of dust and gas. Why did they form and how did they change everything? Stars, the first complex, stable entities in the Universe, have the capacity to generate energy for millions, even billions of years. The first stars, which passed through their entire life cycles relatively quickly, produced many of the chemical elements of the periodic table. In this unit, you'll learn how stars first formed and how the lives and deaths of stars provided the chemical diversity necessary for even more complex things.
4. Our Solar System & Earth
Billowing clouds of matter spun around and around our young Sun, gradually forming just about everything in our Solar System – from meteors and asteroids to all the planets and moons. One planet in particular would enable the creation of even more remarkable complexity.
5. Life
What makes life so special? Is there life elsewhere in the Universe? And how exactly did life emerge and diversify? In many ways these remain mysteries, but we do have enough evidence to explore some possible answers.
6. Early Humans
Humans are unusual. We walk upright and build cities, we travel from continent to continent in hours, and we communicate across the globe in an instant. We alone can build bombs and invent medicines. Why can we do all these things that other creatures can't? What makes us so different from other species?
7. Agriculture & Civilization
If everyone had to survive as foragers, there wouldn't be nearly enough food to feed 7 billion people. Farming sustains us, and it's easy to assume it has always existed, but it hasn't. Humans invented agriculture. This altered our relationship with the Earth, drove population growth, and enabled the emergence of magnificent civilizations.
8. Expansion & Interconnection
Early humans had pretty small social networks. At most, they probably met only a couple hundred people who probably all lived very similar lives to their own. As people started farming, these networks got larger. People were increasingly specialized in their work and trade. Populations in cities got larger. Trade reached across longer distances, bringing together people with very different lives and ways of thinking.
9. Acceleration
Just 500 years ago, humans lived in four separate world zones, each with distinct cultures and technologies. Now, humanity is linked within one interconnected network of information and commerce that spans the entire planet.
10. The Future
What does 13.8 billion years of history tell you about yourself? How does knowing so much about the past change the way you think about the future? These may be the most important questions Big History asks. How would you answer them? Big History is an unfinished story.
5. Life
What makes life so special? Is there life elsewhere in the Universe? And how exactly did life emerge and diversify? In many ways these remain mysteries, but we do have enough evidence to explore some possible answers.Community Questions
All content in "5. Life"
5.0—What Is Life?
With the appearance of the first planets, the Universe became much more complex. Planets, which formed from clouds of chemicals created during the death of stars, are more chemically diverse than the stars from which they came. Planets also differ from stars because they don't generate huge amounts of energy at their centers. As a result, their surface temperatures are much cooler. This combination of diverse chemical ingredients and less violent conditions enabled planets to become the setting for life. When life emerged on Earth, it had characteristics that made it very different from nonliving things. Many people will tell you they "know" the difference between living and nonliving things. However, biologists – the experts – have struggled to agree on a single definition of life, even though many of the proposed definitions share similarities. In this lesson, we'll focus on understanding the characteristics all living things share.

5.1—How Did Life Begin and Change?
For centuries, scientists have searched for the answer to the question, how did life begin? Some have argued it began in a shallow pool of water. Others have argued that it began deep below the surface of the ocean. Still others believe that a meteor from some distant corner of the Universe brought to the Earth the ingredients for life. How life appeared and how it changed over time are some of the most interesting questions you'll tackle in this course.

5.2—How Do Earth and Life Interact? ?
The biosphere is an amazing place, serving as home for humans and many other species. The atmosphere provides the air we need to breathe, but the atmosphere also helps to protect us from the Sun's radiation. The water, plants, and animals of the biosphere provide humans with many of the resources we need for survival. But as amazing the biosphere is in creating a "comfort zone" for humans, it can also be quite fragile, and from time to time has been subject to significant threats from various astronomical, geological, and biological forces. Changes in these forces can result in both mild and extreme impacts on the biosphere.

5.3—Ways of Knowing: Life
Life first appeared on Earth around 3.8 billion years ago—not long after the Earth itself —and life forms have been changing and diversifying ever since. How is it possible for scientists to know about the history of life? What methods do they use to study life and how it has evolved over time? The methods scientists use to reconstruct the story of living things and how they change over time also change over time. New techniques and instruments are constantly being developed to look more deeply into the world of cells and DNA.

please help Identify
2 Attachment(s)
I think the one is a red top zebra of some kind but the second i have no idea...she is very aggressive and even takes on the dominate males.
She turns pink and white when she gets mad.
Top one is either a red top zebra or Metriaclima greshakei, bottom ones looks like a Labidochromis sp. "Hongi", although there is something that makes me think Hybrid.
I think on the first the second guess is better. The second cichlid is close as she/he appears to have a yellow stripe along the top of its fin. Hybrid may be the case is its highly aggressive.
top one is a female btw.

Thanksgiving holiday travelers should allow extra time at the airport. Passenger traffic is still down for the major airlines since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, but many carriers expect to be flying full on prime travel days over the next week.
Denver International Airport's largest carrier, United Airlines, advises customers who are checking luggage to arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes before departure.
United says those traveling light should allow at least an hour, and if passengers are flying out of the country, they should allow two hours.
Just as they did a year ago, holiday air travelers will face extra- tight airport security measures, but don't try to bring hockey sticks, ski poles or 65 other listed items on board.

text: Intel's Ivy Bridge lineup has been making headlines with its latest 22nm processors, but many people who overclocked these found the temperatures to be significantly hotter than last year's Sandy Bridge CPUs. This puts the new Ivy Bridge at a severe disadvantage as the cooler Sandy Bridge chips allow for better overclocking headroom. Intel has stated in a recent report that the Ivy Bridge's 22nm die shrink does increase thermal density, but adds that "this is as designed and meets quality and reliability expectations for parts operating under specified conditions." As such, overclocking enthusiasts itching to get their hands dirty with the latest Ivy Bridge CPUs might want to invest heavily on a great cooling setup or just delay buying until Intel comes up with a better batch on its next stepping.

Targus Recalls Half A Million Laptop ability Adapters Due To Overheating
Good news and poor news folks. The poor news is that Targus has just issued a product recall for half a million units of its adapters, made by Comarco Inc. The recall involves Targus' universal laptop ability adapter with interchangeable tips. Apparently they can overheat and pose a burn hazard to folks who try to unplug it. So far there have been a good 500 odd reports of connector tips overheating and 8 cases of consumers being hurt. The good news is that whether you get in touch with Comarco you'll get a free replacement, so you shouldn't have to concern about that issue after getting your replacement.

But he did not stop there. He painted former Lt. Governor and current Colorado Republican candidate for U. S. Senate Jane Norton with the same can of paint. Tancredo professed his belief that McCain is doing his best to recruit big government Republican candidates throughout the country, including Norton, in an effort to continue his failed statist legacy. Tancredo said Norton fits the McCain mold, and that he could not support her candidacy.
Tancredo made it clear he thinks neither McCain nor Norton believe in conservative principles.
Tancredo said he supports Weld County D.A. Ken Buck in the Republican race for the Senate nomination.
Of his failed bid for the Presidencey, Tancredo told the crowd of about 60 activists that he never for a second thought he would win. He said his presidential campaign was a tool to educate the country on the problem of illegal immigration.
Nikki Mata and Lori Horn, as usual, did a tremendous job organizing the event, which was focused on educating activists on the caucus process. Several people had the opportunity to speak, including the candidates in attendance. Dan Maes, candidate for governor, Polly Lawrence, candidate for state House District 44, Derec Shuler, candidate for state Senate District 34, and Lora Thomas, candidate for Douglas County coroner, were among the candidates who addressed the audience.
Nikki and Lori were even kind enough to give me, as the President of the public advocacy group the Gadsden Society, the opportunity to say a few words about the Colorado legislative process and how to keep advised on pending bills. I recommended everyone follow state Rep. Kent Lambert on Twitter for his updates on the state budget process.

Mascara is one of the most handy items you can have in your makeup bag, because in 30 seconds it can take you from drab to fab. With the right application technique, mascara will perfectly complement your eyeshadow and really open up your eyes and make them pop.
What you'll need:
1. Mascara: Choose a formula that will give you what you want, whether it's lengthening, curling or volumizing.
2. Eyelash curler: This handy tool is essential for giving your lashes an instant lift. Sturdy metal curlers are the most effective.
3. Eyelash comb: Use the comb to get rid of any mascara clumps.
4. Hairdryer: Trust us on this one.
What to do:
1. Prep your eyelash curler by blowing hot air on it for a few seconds using the blow dryer - warming it will help keep your curl in place all day.
2. Begin curling your lashes at the root, being careful to not get so close that some of your lid accidentally gets caught. Hold the curler in this position for about 10 seconds, then move it to the tips of your lashes and repeat.
3. Now it's time to apply mascara. You may be tempted to pump the wand after you open the tube, but don't do it! This lets in air, which will cause your mascara to dry out faster.
4. As you remove the wand from the tube, scrape off any additional mascara to avoid clumping as you apply it to your lashes.
5. Look forward and place your mascara at the base of your top lashes. Slowly wiggle the brush as you sweep it upward.
6. Repeat two to three times, or until your lashes reach the desired thickness.
7. Brush your lashes from the base upward using an eyelash comb to remove any clumps.

In one of the myriad unexplained "special provisions" buried deep in the its version of the 2016-17 budget, the North Carolina Senate takes the remarkable and destructive step of repealing the state Fair Housing Act. As Sarah Ovaska-Few reported last week:
"The provision, which would repeal the State Fair Housing Act and shut down the state office that investigates discrimination complaints, was buried deep in the 500-plus budget (pages 390-391) that was made public and quickly passed the chamber last week.
The elimination of the state anti-discrimination measures got no attention during debates when the budget passed the Republican-controlled Senate last Thursday.
The move to repeal the state's Fair Housing Act would also eliminate the N.C. Human Relations Commission, which is funded partly with federal funds and tasked with investigating and pursuing legal claims of discrimination on the basis of race, sex, or disability when it comes to housing, employment and civil rights violations."
One can only hope that this outrageous provision gets deep-sixed in the negotiations over the final budget. And if conferees need any reminders about the continued relevance of fair housing laws in 2015 North Carolina, they might want to check out yesterday's announcement from the good folks at Legal Aid of North Carolina detailing the terms of a settlement in a fair housing case involving demands of sex for receipt of housing vouchers brought in Scotland County.

The 9 Best Ways to Fight Frizzy Hair
Pouf, fuzz, frayed ends: This is the price we pay for balmy weather. (The upside: glowy skin and, well, balmy weather.) But there are steps you can take to fight frizz, so go ahead—let your hair down this summer.
Work It Once a Week
Depending on your hair type, there are different ways to give your hair a weekly boost.
For Fine Hair: Use a hot-oil treatment once a week—it's not as heavy as a mask, so it won't weigh down your hair. Here's the key: Slather it on before shampooing, but avoid your roots. Make sure to pick one with jojoba oil to help strengthen the cuticle. We're a big fan of Queen Helene Jojoba Hot Oil Treatment.
For Medium to Thick Hair: Here's why you need a deep conditioner: The ingredients are much more concentrated, and they leave behind a smoothing film that prevents frizz. If you have severe damage, consider leaving the product on overnight—just place a towel on the pillow to prevent a mess. We like Infusium 23 Repair & Renew Leave-in Treatment and Nexxus Emergencée Strengthening Polymeric Reconstructor.

In my downloads folder I have a file called
PB_2.22_b006.zip. If I go to that folder in Vista Windows Explorer, and then type
pb or
pb* or anything like that in the search box, it doesn't find that file. Why?
In my downloads folder I have a file called
File searching in Vista and (and probably Windows 7 though I'm not sure) works differently to that in XP and older versions.
Now, here's a bit of opinion backed up by several other commenters on the web...
Windows searches only for those file types registered for the "search" operation.
If you are familiar with the command line I would suggest using "dir file_to_search /a /s" or using alternative software like Locate32 (http://www.locate32.net/).
I have stopped using the Windows Search thing since 2000/2001 :) :P
Windows XP search ALSO behaves wrong, although the search in Vista and Windows 7 is even worse.
For example, in Windows XP I made this search:
Filename: *.pas
Word or phrase (sentence?) in file: MediaPlayer
Where to look for: S:\
Windows XP search only finds two files:
MediaPlayer_TLB.pas - in Folder S:\d7comp\activex\msplayer64 MediaPlayer_TLB.pas - in Folder S:\d7comp\activex\Wmp64
My own FindFile.exe (this is a self made application programmed using Delphi 7) instead finds 23 files using the same search criteria !
One of those 23 is S:\d7app\Testapps\msplayer1\msplayerMF.pas
This (text, source code) file begins like this:
unit msplayerMF;
uses Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls, OleCtrls, MediaPlayer_TLB;
type TForm1 = class(TForm) MsMediaPlayer1: TMsMediaPlayer;
On line 7, as part of the "uses" clause, you can see: MediaPlayer_TLB
My own FindFile.exe corretly finds the keyword "MediaPlayer" even when it is immediately followed by "_TLB". But for some odd reason Microsoft's search utility gets confused about that "_TLB" and fails to find that file.
I cannot understand why Microsoft's programmers failed to implement the search function properly.

My obligitory "Hello Everybody" thread.
So... Hello everybody! I haven't had an aquarium in 15 years, but "Santa Claus" brought my 3 year old daughter a 3 gallon aquarium kit for Christmas. Two days later, I'm bit by the aquarium bug, and am already planning to get a 20 gallon tank for myself. And as with every hobby I gravitate to, I feel the need to become an expert at it. So, here I am... ready to learn. The last time I kept fish, when I was a teenager, I knew nothing about how or what I was doing... I want to do it right this time.
BTW, I have 2 Zebra Danios in the 3 gallon tank. I know I should've waited a little longer to put anything in... but the kid just couldn't wait.
Welcome to the forum, CoffeeMan! We're glad you decided to join us and get back into the hobby. :-)
Hello and welcome to the forum!
Welcome to the forum!
hello and welcome to you and your family
i hope you will be very happy here with us.and get all the information
that you need.
Hello and welcome to the forum.
Thanks for the welcoming replies. It seems my daughter could kinda care less about her new aquarium... but at least it got me back in the game, so to speak.
Howdy and welcome. +1 vote from me that aquarium should be in the dictionary as a disease. I haven't even set my 55g up yet and I'm planning a 20g and having a ball just learning.
Hope your stay is a good one. C ya around mate.
ohhhh..what you gonna put in the 20gl?

JCDecaux has teamed up with the Mr Kipling brand to recreate its novel campaign that dispenses cakes from outdoor media sites for the festive period, following a successful run earlier this year.
The Premier Foods-owned brand is supporting the Mr Kipling Christmas range with its "Cake-to-go" marketing activity. 20 six-sheet poster sites around the UK will be turned into cake dispensers.
Creative work to support the Christmas range has been executed by JWT, with the media campaign planned and secured by Starcom through JCDecaux Innovate.
The special scented sites will dispense up to 500 free slices of Mr Kipling cakes at the touch of a button, as The Salvation Army's version of 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas' plays. Each slice of cake dispensed will equate to a donation to the charity.
The dispensers, which launched this week, will be operational for a fortnight, located on high streets and outside Asda and Morrisson's supermarkets.
Iwan Williams, managing director, grocery and bakery, Premier Foods, said: "The repositioning of Mr Kipling with the new Snap Pack format is a key focus for Premier Foods. These cake-to-go dispensers are a great way to promote this format to consumers and drive awareness of our seasonal product range."Follow @loullamae_es

Reviews for
Kirkus Reviews 1994 June
~ The author of The Patron Saint of Liars (1992) takes risks in her absorbing second novel--about a middle-aged black man who runs a blues club in Memphis--which has a good beginning and end but a static middle. A young white woman named Fay Taft from east Tennessee comes into the club one night looking for a job. When she begins waiting tables there, her brother Carl--who is involved in drugs--also starts hanging around. They have a strange intimacy with the narrator, John Nickel; he feels protective of them, partly because he is far from his own son, Franklin, who is living in Miami with his mother, Marion. Fay reveals that she and Carl moved to Memphis after their father's death, and John begins imagining the life of this man (whom he always thinks of simply as ``Taft'') in passages that alternate with the main plot. Although the narrator's slow, laid-back cadences are well-realized, the story hits a lull before emerging into a more active ending. The relationship between Fay and John is never completely clear; when she reveals that she is about to turn 18 and proposes marriage, it is more of a shock than it ought to be. Furthermore, it seems unlikely that John, a former musician who recognizes immediately that Fay's brother is using drugs and can differentiate between his various highs, would not realize that Carl might be a dealer until someone else mentions it to him. On the other hand, memories of his early days with Marion, and the admission that not marrying her when she was 18 and pregnant was a far-reaching error, are remarkably straightforward and honest. A strikingly original and thoroughly conceived bluesy voice, though the story it tells has some holes in logic. (Author tour) Copyright 1999 Kirkus Reviews
Library Journal Reviews 1994 July #1
This second novel from the author of the well-received The Patron Saint of Liars (LJ 4/1/92) is narrated by John Nickel, an ex-drummer who manages a Memphis bar that is a sort of anti-Cheers. He is also African American, a fact you can soon forget. For one thing, in Patchett's Tennessee, everyone, regardless of age, race, sex, class, or locale, speaks nearly the same flat language. John is obsessed with his young son, who has moved to Miami with John's ex-girlfriend, and his longing for the child is the pivotal and most convincing aspect of the novel. In the meantime, 18-year-old Faye Taft enters the bar and John's life, with her drug-addicted brother in tow. They're running from a family destroyed by their father's sudden death. Strangely, John starts imagining the Taft family before the death in passages that are vividly realized yet so disassociated from the narrator that you begin to wonder if he is receiving ESP transmissions. Patchett is a fine writer, but here we are most aware of her ideas for the novel-the fiction itself rarely takes off. For large public library collections.-Brian Kenney, Brooklyn P.L. Copyright 1994 Cahners Business Information.
Publishers Weekly Reviews 1994 July #3
Following her well-received debut, The Patron Saint of Liars , Patchett convincingly portrays a bar manager's conflicted feelings for a teenage waitress in this tale of fatherhood and unfulfilled dreams. Narrator John Nickel runs a bar called Muddy's on Memphis's Beale Street. He took the job to help provide for his lover, Marion, and their 10-year-old son, Franklin, who have since moved away, leaving him concerned that the boy lacks paternal guidance. When 17-year-old Fay Taft shows up at Muddy's, lies about her age and asks for a job, Nickel is touched by her neediness and hires her. But he doesn't bargain on her growing desire for him, or on her drug-dealer brother, who brings sleazy clients to the bar. Another complication is the issue of race--Fay is white, Nickel black--but the author concentrates on the color-blind moral problems that any family faces. As Nickel contemplates his own predicaments, he imagines scenes of the Tafts in a stable home before their father died. His sincere sense of responsibility--to his son, to Fay, even to Fay's no-good brother--is conveyed with visceral power, although the hard-boiled dialogue often resembles parody. Patchett's characters may include tough cookies with hearts of gold, but the novel is at its best when she mutes the melodrama and focuses on basic moral issues. (Oct.)

2 Jack Dempsey in 55gallon
Hi i have a 55 gallon tank with 1 large canister filter and one medium waterfall filter, i was reading on the internet that you can only have 1 JD in a 55 gallon tank and i was wondering if this was true and what you guys think? Also i want to know if i can also fit a pleco in the tank?
The first and most important thing you have to do is make sure you don't get to males. As they mature, they will fight to the death. Try to get a female and a male. So as long as you don't get two males, this will most likely work out, but with some cichlids, they are very unpredictable and there are no guarantees.
And yes you will be able to add a pleco as long as you add him before you put in the Jack Dempseys and make sure he is the same size, if not bigger.

Municipal officials and state officials took to Greenville for the first time in its annual conference's history.
The Greenville Convention Center played host to the North Carolina League of Municipalities annual conference Sunday. Morehead City Mayor, and League of Municipality President, Jerry Jones, precided over conference activities.
Speakers focused on observing the economic impact of North Carolina cities and towns.
Booths were set up around the convention center to present technological advancement opportunities to local municipalities.
Founded in 1908, the league is a voluntary, nonpartisan association of more than 540 cities, towns and villages in North Carolina.

A death in the family and a trip to Florida related to the aforementioned loss will be coming up, so it's time to get some thoughts out while they're still here.
Cap issues looked somewhat bleak, and completely related to the Julius Peppers situation (since that somehow finds its way into every facet lately), but we're not going to be so encumbered and further cuts will give us flexibility.
Also a quick coaching update in Atlanta:
It oughta be interesting having a pair of former coaches in the division - Bill Musgrave and Paul Boudreau - together. Musgrave, former QBs coach and OC for Carolina (1999, 4 games of 2000), never coached with Boudreau (2001-02), but both carry knowledge of the team; more importantly the guy who oversaw Boudreau and succeeded Musgrave, Richard Williamson, knows them. Boudreau joins Musgrave under Mike Mularkey and new head coach Mike Smith. Smith has put together a solid staff, but Smith himself I'm not that impressed with.

Will I have to testify?
Can I drop the charges?
I have bills as a result of this crime. How can I get them paid?
I have been threatened or contacted by the defendant. What can I do?
An attorney or investigator has been contacting me about the case. Do I have to talk to them?
I gave a statement to law enforcement. Why do I have to be interviewed?
Can someone attend the interview with me?
Will the defendant go to prison or jail?
Can I contact the defendant?
How do I know when and where to go to court?
How can I be notified if the defendant is released from jail?
How could the defendant plead "not guilty?" I saw him/her do it.
Can I get restitution for things such as pain, suffering, and mental anguish?
What is a protection order? How can I get one?
A: If you are a victim or a witness of a crime, you may have to testify in court. However, many cases plead without actually going to trial. If this happens, you will not be required to testify, as there will not be a trial. If you have concerns about testifying, contact the Victim/Witness Unit.
A: No. The State of Washington has charged the defendant with a crime, not you. As you have not charged the crime, you cannot drop the charges. Reporting a crime is not the same as charging a crime.
A: If you have medical bills or funeral expenses resulting from a crime, Crime Victims Compensation may cover expenses not covered by your insurance company which would include deductibles and copays. Generally speaking, you are responsible to pay most other bills. If a defendant is found guilty, he or she could be ordered to pay restitution to you and/or your insurance company. In order to have restitution ordered, you must provide the Victim/Witness Unit with a summary and receipts for your losses.
A: It is essential that you report any contact from a defendant or his or her family/friends to law enforcement and/or the prosecutor's office immediately. This may be a violation. If you have evidence of the contact, such as voicemail, caller ID, a letter, or e-mail, save the evidence until law enforcement and/or the prosecutor's office says to do otherwise. If you have not already done so, you may wish to obtain a Protection Order. The Victim/Witness Unit can also assist you devising a safety plan.
A: First, as a victim or witness to a crime, you should always take the time to identify who exactly you are talking with. Any person legitimately involved in a case will always be able to provide identification. Second, unless under court order, you have the right to speak with anyone or decline to speak with anyone. Third, according to RCW 7.69.030(10), with respect to victims of violent and sex crimes, the victim, survivors of victims, and witnesses of any criminal court and/or juvenile court proceeding, can have a crime victim advocate from a crime Victim/Witness Unit, or any other support person of the victim's choosing, present at any prosecutorial or defense interviews with the victim, and at any judicial proceedings related to criminal acts committed against the victim. This applies if practical and if the presence of the crime victim advocate or support person does not cause any unnecessary delay in the investigation of the case. The role of the crime victim advocate is to provide emotional support to crime victims.
The Victim/Witness Unit has interview request forms and procedures to coordinate interviews with defense attorneys or their investigators. Feel free to contact the Victim/Witness Unit for assistance with interviews.
A: Statements given to law enforcement may not always be complete. They sometimes lack detail that help the attorneys involved understand the case better.
A: Yes. You have the right to have someone of your choosing (generally an advocate, friend, or someone from the prosecutor's office) attend interviews with you, as long as there is not a conflict. An example of a conflict would be that the person you wish to attend the interview is also a witness in the case. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that whoever attends the interview with you may become a witness at trial. If you have someone in mind that you want to attend trial with you, it is best NOT to have that person attend the interview with you as well.
A: It depends on the type of crime, the defendant's criminal history and the resolution of the case.
A: Victims and witnesses are frequently asked not to contact defendants until a case is over. In some cases, contact with the defendant may be strictly prohibited. If you and the defendant were living together, the court will frequently order the defendant to find another place to stay if released from jail.
A: You may access the Spokane County Sheriff's Office website for defendant information www.spokanesheriff.org. For immediate notification if a defendant is released, please contact the Washington Statewide Victim Information & Notification Service (VINE) www.vinelink.com or call 1-(877) 846-3492. If you have further questions, contact the Spokane County Jail at (509) 477-2278.
A: In our justice system, defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Almost all defendants plead "not guilty" when charged with a crime. They may decide to change their plea after talking with a lawyer, or they may decide to go to trial and require that the State prove them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
A: Not through the criminal justice system. Restitution is ordered for out of pocket expenses directly related to the crime. If you would like to seek compensation for pain and suffer, you may wish to file a civil suit. However, neither the Victim/Witness Unit or the Spokane County Prosecuting Attorney's Office can advise you in such a matter.
A: A protection order is an order that prohibits the respondant from contacting you. There are several kinds of protection orders, including an Order for Protection (for domestic violence cases,) No Contact Order, Restraining Order, and Anti-Harassment Order. You can apply for a protection order at the Superior Court Clerk's Office at 477-3688 or the District Court Clerk's Office at 477-4770. For more information, contact the Victim/Witness Unit, at 477-3646.
A: If you are a victim/witness to a crime and you must appear at trial, you will receive only one subpoena from the Spokane County Prosecuting Attorney's Office or another attorney in the case. The subpoena should state where and when you must appear. When you are subpoenaed for trial, you can check the trial message line at 477-2803 which is updated every Friday afternoon to see if the case is going to trial, has been continued, or has been resolved. You are normally subpoenaed to appear at the Spokane County Superior Court. DO NOT show up for court if you have not been contacted by the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney or the Victim/Witness Advocate advising you when to appear for your testimony.
The Victim/Witness Unit would be happy to answer any further questions you may have. You can contact the Victim/Witness Unit at 477-3646 or by letter.
