SALINAS, Calif. —Salinas police are investigating a horrific double homicide that left two kids dead and a third child fighting for her life in a hospital.
The bodies of a 3-year-old girl and 6-year-old boy were found in a storage locker in Redding, Calif.
Tami Joy Huntsman, 39, and her 17-year-old boyfriend, Gonzalo Curiel, were arrested on charges of felony child abuse, torture, and mayhem.
A severely abused 9-year-old girl was found at home and is undergoing surgery for "numerous injuries," Plumas County Sheriff's Sgt. Steve Peay said.
(snip)
Huntsman is a relative of the two homicide victims but not their mother. Her Facebook page lists her work as "Being the Best Mom I Can Be."
(snip)
Friends said Huntsman was caring for the children who were slain because their mother died after she was struck by a car while walking, and the father gave up custody.
(snip)
Tami Huntsman and her brother, Wayne Huntsman, grew up in Santa Cruz.
Wayne Huntsman is currently in prison and accused of intentionally igniting a massive wildfire in a national forest. The King Fire scorched 120 square miles and 12 homes before firefighters contained it last fall. The King Fire cost $5 million a day to fight, fire officials said.

Hello... Try hitting the [Page Down] function on your keyboard while on the FR Index Page before posting, please.
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3373096/posts
It will help so much in cutting down the bandwidth.
Also, there is a link to a local report with more info located on the other (prior) thread that might help.
I searched Google for the mother’s name on FR and didn’t see it so I posted this article. It’s a different article and in a different section, too, so maybe some people will see it who otherwise wouldn’t have.
On the page down function, I’ve never heard that and don’t understand perhaps. Do you mean to eliminate spaces? I tried hitting it here but don’t think it did anything.
-followed by yours, on the same page:
The "Index" page (http://freerepublic.com/tag/*/index) is where all the latest threads are listed, regardless of section. If you are not there by default you can click on the "Forum" link at the top of the FR listings to get there. Then page down (scroll down) on the page to look for previous threads.
(Sorry about the sizing. I can't get it to post any smaller.) -:(
Not trying to be snide here, but MANY times I want to see if a story is posted here, and the search returns nothing... go to google, search the particular article, and walaaah... a link to it posted on Free Republic. Just saying, it happens all the time.
Noted, but the pagedown key would have worked so much faster in this and several other instances and I am always floored whenever I click on a particular thread to view it and then within a very short time someone else puts up another thread concerning the identical topic.
People just act as if it is such a chore to look at their keyboard or use their mouse to see if the story they are thinking about posting has already gotten a thread going -how hard can it be to look at the previous thread listings before starting another one?
This one even says she did a google search and came up with nothing, which is a whole lot more effort than simply scrolling down the page to find a previous thread.
On every standard PC keyboard there is a particular key labeled “Page Down”, which when pressed scrolls down the screen one page at a time rather than dragging the mouse to do it. Approximately ten clicks down (or two hours previously) the story was already posted.
“Page Up” or the “Home” key will then get you back to the top of the page.
Thanks for trying, I’ve noticed this too. Many threads are repeated, sometimes I see 3 or 4 on one topic, all the same. Don’t think many will pay attention though, I wonder if some of them look at all.
I use more keyboard shortcuts than mouse, easier to use and my wrist thanks me all the time.
Ahhh.... good advice.
Horrific.
And - as a writer, I find it disrespectful to refer as these two young, brutally murdered children simply as “kids.”
“Children” or even “Toddlers” but not “kids.”
Does no one know how to write anymore?
talk about wasting bandwidth.
There’s no reason not to post articles on the same subject but reported by different sources. They often will include different information or be written from a different perspective.
This is why FR has a policy against duplicate articles but not differently sourced articles on the same subject.
Duplicates will show up without needing to scroll down.
How low have we fallen as a society> God - please consider coming back soon to set things right....
?????
disregard my first answer.. my eyes aren’t working so good today!!
I know, I know, but the images would not resize no matter what I did so I just posted them as-is.
Hopefully I will have a bit more time next time around and can figure out how to resize them properly. The HTML Sandbox instructions did not help.

J. R. "Bob" Dobbs receding into infinity...
<img src="http://mumble.com/image.jpg"> substitute the actual source of the image for http://mumble.com/image.jpg This image must be out on a server on the web someplace, not on your machine. This is why people have flickr and picassa accounts. You can easily find out the URL of an existing picture on the web by right-mousing over it and selecting Open Image In New Tab. This will open a tab on your browser containing only that image. The URL of that tab is the one to use as your src="" value.
Some of the photo storage sites on the web (flickr) try to drive web traffic to their site to harvest advertising by providing a convenient pointer to their site that isn't a URL to a .jpg To get the proper URL try right mousing over the image and select Open Image in New Tab. This should get you the naked image itself, without all of the surrounding advertising. This is the URL you want to use.
Access Denied! - No Hotlinking - Occasionally you will see an image that looks good on the site of origin but won't show up if you use it in a posting. Many sites block what they term as "hot-linking" thinking that people who link to their images from pages that are not theirs are stealing their hard paid for bandwidth. They have a point. Either use another image or host it on your own site to fix this problem.
Often the poster will see the image that hot-linking is not allowed for while other users are whining about no image present and red X's. This is because the poster's browser has cached the image and doesn't have to go to the blocked site to get it. A refresh of the page should show what is what.
Size: You can easily vary the size of a given image by specifying it. You may specify size in terms of pixels, em (one character height-width), or percent of enclosing container. Given the wide variation in display platforms the best results are usually obtained by using percent to specify size.
<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a3/Bobdobbs.png" width="15%"> Yields:
If you are specifying the size of an image it is best to do it in only one dimension and let the computer figure out what the other dimension should be. This will result in images that have not been distorted. Another neat trick is to specify the image size as a percentage of the width of the container the image sits in. This results in a uniform presentation of the image across all possible platforms without having to compute the image size at all.
The native size of the J. R. "Bob" Dobbs picture above is 324x216 pixels. Typical screen pixels per inch numbers for normal displays are in the range of 75 to 150 so the original Dobbs'Head will likely appear on your screen somewhere between 2.88 to 1.44 inches wide.
The next row of Dobbs'Heads are scaled to the width of the enclosing container. We use the width because its value is mostly apparent on the screen. The value of the container's height is less so. The first Dobbs'Head is scaled to 30% of the width of the container. The next at about half that, and so forth... This produces a line of attractive Dobbs'Heads receding into infinity that occupies about half the width of your page, all without needing to know how wide your page is. The size of the images will change if you grab the edge of the page and make it wider or thinner. This is the reason you want to scale images (and anything else, really) by percentages rather than pixels.
In the past it was best to keep your scaling to powers of 2 to minimize scaling artifacts. Current smoothing algorithms and processor speeds make that pretty much unnecessary. Remember that scaling up will not introduce new detail into the existing picture.
Stationary images usually end with .jpg or some variation. Moving images are possible using images which end in .gif The .gif format allows for short sequences of stationary images to be presented like a very tiny movie. Another common format is .png which is a static image format from Microsoft. You will also see images that are .pdf Postscript Document Format. Images in .pdf format will often not post on websites because the .pdf file can easily be a virus container.
You can position an image relative to its surrounding elements by adding the attribute align="middle" to the tag. Recognized attribute values are top, bottom, middle, left and right.
<p><img src="http://enemiesforeignanddomestic.com//sj/images/61cb2_zQLMZ.gif" align="right" alt="Kittie doing its nails."></p> Yields:
This is some text to show how it flows around the image. This is before the image in the source HTML with a paragraph called out before the text. Isn't the expression of the cat's face just priceless? ♣
And this is text right after the image. I have found left and right attributes to be useful, the rest not so much. You really seem to have to have quite a bit of text for the behavior of the flow to come out. Dinking with the browser width seems to help illuminate the behavior of the flow. Perhaps a smaller picture in the x-axis? But it's sooo cute.
Does adding a paragraph move the text down below the image? Nope, sure doesn't. Think of the anchor as the upper left corner of the image and as far as HTML is concerned that corner goes right after the club following "priceless", but it is aligned right so it starts on the line with the club ♣ and hangs to the right.
In general, if you are posting images it is beneficial to place the image in a paragraph of its own and use a closing tag with <p> </p> as it helps the browser software properly place images.
The alt="Kittie doing its nails." specifies the text that appears when you mouse over the image. Some folks use these descriptors by running them through vocal-synthesis software. The blind using computers find these descriptors quite helpful. It's important to remember that an image (as well as any other element) can be used as the clickable part of a hot-link.

Many, many thanks for all the help. This page is now saved for future reference and so I can practice offline as well.
Thanks again!
