POWAY, Calif (AP) - A mother rushing to get her son to school in San Diego County was arrested and jailed after a chase by the California Highway Patrol.
The 10-minute pursuit Friday morning ended outside Del Mar Pines School with the arrest of Stacy L. Taylor for investigation of evading arrest and child endangerment.

While I agree that fleeing ought to be severly punished, nothing indicates from this story that there was anything but a speeder that took off afterward.
Around the country cities are getting hammered in these chases when they end in injury and death.
In this circumstance and from this story I can't see chasing this woman for 16 mph over the speed limit. I've run her plate, I've seen her face, lock her up later.
and if she left town with her child and killed it in a motel, you would be explaining to everyone why you didn't pursue her.
Since 'Fintan' didn't get back to you on this I'll give it a shot.
As simply as possible here's the scoop:
The picture first has to reside on a computer somewhere that is accessible to the computers at FR. If you have a copy on your PC at home, you can't make it appear on FR unless you can get a copy onto the computer(s) maintained by your Internet Service Provider.
The picture that 'Fintan' posted actually resides on a computer at http://www.pickeringcreek.com. The picture is named "StopMom.jpg".
You can find this info by right clicking on the photo and checking the Properties, which will give you the address where the picture "lives".
Once you know this information you can use a string of HTML tags to post it onto FR. This HTML tag does nothing more than point to where the photo lives and tells the FR computer to display it. It looks like this:
<img src="http://www.pickeringcreek.com/StopMom.jpg">
So, the easiest way to display a photo here is to find it living on someone elses computer...one that is accessible by the FR computers. You can do this by searching Google Images for just the right pic and then checking out what the Properties are and plug that into the appropriate space between the quote marks in the string listed above. Simple, huh?
You might want to pop in on the HTML Sandbox here on FR and practice a bit.
I didn't realize that pictures posted to this site had to be "hosted" -- no wonder I couldn't find a URL address that made sense.
But then, I've seen pictures FReepers have posted of themselves or events -- and so I thought there was a back door or something.
Anyway, thanks for the info!

Just keep in mind that everyone here was a beginner at some point.
I learned most of what I know from other folks. That's why I try to share the knowledge whenever needed. Everything else I learned by doing and practicing.
You should look into using the server space that is provided by most ISPs for your own personal use. The info is readily availbale from them on what server names to use and the tools are free on the Internet. All you need is an HTML editor and maybe an ftp (file transfer) program. It really is no harder than creating a document in a word processor and then emailing it. The principles are the same.
Make your own web page and create a masterpiece! All it takes is time and a little practice. If I learned it...ANYONE can do it.
