General Motors' OnStar telematics brand is testing a service that allows parents to track teens in cars. The Family Link option will allow OnStar subscribers to view their vehicle's location online or get emails or text messages with its position. "What parent hasn't asked their teenage driver to call or send a text when they arrive somewhere, only to not hear from them?" said Linda Marshall, president of OnStar. "Family Link's Vehicle Locate feature lets a parent check on their child's progress."
The service offers two features: Vehicle Locate, which allows users to log on and locate the car on a digital map.
Location Alert gives parents access to their teen's whereabouts at all times.
Location Alert sends text and email updates telling you the location of your car every hour, two hours or however often you want to know.
OnStar is also considering features that alert parents about vehicle speed as well as arrival and departure information, said Marshall.

Classic Wreath
Classic Wreath-WOW
I purchased this wreath by only seeing it online. Once I received it, I was so impressed with the quality of the product. It really exceeded my expectations!
April 3, 2013
Nice Wreath
Very full and with lots of branches. Decorations look a little skimpy in person so will add a few more ornamental things to it which will make it beautiful.
February 5, 2013
We can't wait to have this gorgeous wreath on our front door next Christmas!
February 3, 2013
Nice Wreath
I've only had for a short time, so I can't speak to durability but this is a very nice looking wreath.
January 26, 2013
Great quality and value
These wreaths match the outdoor Christmas garland we purchased from Frontgate over 5 years ago. They are beautiful and we are certain that they will last just as well as the garland, which continues to look full and beautiful with no fading or burned out lights. We have never seen quality of this caliber anywhere else at any price.

better presentation of decor than battery powered
More appropriate for my needs and decorative expectations than the battery powered one that I had purchased and since returned.
January 14, 2013
classic wreath
This is the second wreath that I purchased from Frontgate during the holiday season. I was so pleased with the quality and fullness of it that when it went on sale I took the opportunity to get another one. This was the very first season I've ever purchased anything from Frontgate, I'm always looking for something different and unique and I have found it thanks to you Frontgate. Can't wait until next season I missed so much this last because I found you a little too late.

The wreath was very full and good quality in appearance. Some of the decorations had begun to fall off during shipping.

We have a total of seven 9 foot garlands purchased 4 years ago. Four have sections of lights out. However, we can't seem to figure out how to repair them. Some of the sections are in the middle of the garland while others are on the end with the plug. Since all of the remaining lights in the garlands work, it can't be the fuses. We can't find any broken lights. And, we can't seem to find out if the strands are continuious or not - there does not seem to be a connector between those sections out and those that are still on. What do you suggest we do?
Length of Ownership: 2-5 years

We appreciate your interest in this item. When a strand of lights does not light, it is because a bulb is broken, missing or has come loose from the socket. We recommend checking to make sure none of the bulbs have become unseated from the socket, which would cause a break in the connection and results in the light strand going out. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.6 months ago
We appreciate your interest in this item. Unfortunately, all of the items in this collection include 6 ft cords. We apologize for any inconvenience.Answer:

Battery operated lights or electric plug in?
This makes a difference as to where they can be placed. ie; must be near an electrical outlet or does not matter if battery operated.
We appreciate your interest in this item. This swag features a 6 ft cord and must be plugged into an electrical outlet for use.Answer:
Yes this does need to be near an electrical outlet. I was worried about this, but the cords are very long and we have outlets on each side of our doors.4 months, 3 weeks ago

I love the look of your outdoor greenery. How do I attach it to stone and stucco, I have no wood for nails. How can I make it work?
6 months ago
We appreciate your interest in this item. To attach this wreath to stone or stucco, you would need to purchase the appropriate hardware from a local hardware or home improvement store. A representative there would be able to assist you in determining the correct hardware for your needs.Answer:
My landscaper put some nails into my stucco near the doorframe. They are not visible when greenery is taken down.Length of Ownership: 2-5 years
5 months, 3 weeks ago
That would certainly be a problem. For brick or stone, my spouse had drilled small holes in the mortar to secure the hanging nail, and as it is grey in color, it blends in on the off season no problem. I don't think that I would do that with my stucco as you would be altering the integrity of the stucco finish and might allow water to penetrate. I would suggest visiting the stucco vendor where it is purchased from and they may have fasteners available that may do the trick without harm.Length of Ownership: < 1 year

Technical Issues Related to Ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
Report, National Academy Press
Author: John P. Holdren, Former Director and Faculty Chair, Science, Technology and Public Policy Program
Ordering Information for this publication
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Science, Technology, and Public Policy; Managing the Atom
A National Academy of Sciences panel chaired by John Holdren, Teresa and John Heinz professor of environmental policy, has concluded that the main technical concerns raised about the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) when the Senate refused to ratify it in 1999 are all manageable. The report makes the case that verification capabilities for the treaty are better than generally supposed, U.S. adversaries could not significantly advance their nuclear weapons capabilities through tests below the threshold of detection, and the United States has the technical capabilities to maintain confidence in the safety and reliability of its existing weapons stockpile without periodic nuclear tests.
The report was the unanimous conclusion of a panel of senior experts in nuclear weapons design and nuclear test verification, the Committee on Technical Issues Related to Ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. The group included former directors of the Los Alamos, Sandia, and Oak Ridge national laboratories and a former commander in chief of U.S. forces in the Pacific.
The report was limited to the technical issues surrounding the CTBT and does not make a judgment on whether or not the U.S. Senate should ratify the treaty. "Answering that question requires taking into account a wider array of issues -- not just the technical ones we addressed but also military and political issues that were outside our mandate," Holdren says. The report does conclude, however, that "the worst-case scenario under a no-CTBT regime poses far bigger threats to U.S. security interests -- sophisticated nuclear-weapons systems in the hands of many more adversaries -- than the worst-case scenario of clandestine testing in a CTBT regime, within the constraints posed by the monitoring system."

Choosing From Many Letters
5 comments:
I love old letters. Unfortunately, none were passed down from my grandparents or their parents -- whatever they might have saved was tossed away by my aunts and uncles.
Isn't it odd to think that our own descendants won't have nearly the same opportunity to stumble upon our old correspondences, since so much of contemporary communication happens electronically now?
-- Colleen @ Colleen & Jeff's RootsRepliesColleen, I didn't have much passed down from my own family, either, and was quite jealous of those who had such a stash. As I've learned from my husband's grandmother, it takes a special person to resolve to hold on to things. Maybe those are the ones with the foresight...
You have a good point about contemporary communication. Sometimes I try to print out significant e-mail messages because of that transient nature of electronic material. Every time I think of those fleeting emails, I remember the genealogy books I've read, filled with long quotes from long-ago letters...and sigh.

Kernel: New Maintainer for x86 Branch
Back at the Kernel Summit in September Andi Kleen announced that he would no longer be maintaining the i386 and x86_64 branches if they were merged in the new x86 branch. A new patch shows that Kleen has kept his promise.
The patch changes the x86 architecture maintainer, making it obvious that Andi Kleen is no longer in charge.
At the Kernel Summit 2007, Kleen crticized Linus Torvalds who was still officially the maintainer of the i386 branch for not putting enough effort into maintaining the code. Torvalds referred to i386 as obsolete in five years and proposed merging it with the "x86 Architecture" branch. From now on, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar and H. Peter Anvin will be maintaining the code which now includes both the i386 and x86_64 architectures.
The proposal to merge these two kernel branches was made by Thomas Gleixner on the Linux Kernel Mailing List in July. This step is likely to facilitate troubleshooting and debugging in future. At the same time, it will make it easier and faster to implement new features.

If you downloaded Subtext last night and try to edit keywords in the admin section, you might run into a syntax error. I fixed the download so if the file you download is named

If you downloaded

My apologies. I thought I had tested every page in the admin before releasing, but it was late and I must have missed this one. I never use that page day to day so my dogfooding attempts surely missed it.

The Cyrillic character sets and collations are for use with Belarusian, Bulgarian, Russian, Ukrainian, and Serbian (Cyrillic) languages.
(Windows Cyrillic) collations:
(DOS Russian) collations:
(KOI8-R Relcom Russian)
(KOI8-U Ukrainian) collations:
For additional information about Cyrillic collations in MySQL, see Collation-Charts.Org (cp1251, cp866, koi8r, koi8u). ).
Posted by Val Fellinni on May 30 2004 10:16pm | [Delete] [Edit] |
I can't make it work showing Cyrillic when retriving from MySQL data. Showing ?????????????. I did everithing whatever is showing here but still nothing. Does anybody make it work please let me know how.
Posted by Alexander Kushnirenko on August 5 2004 7:04am | [Delete] [Edit] |
Imagine you have a table which has column 'name' in UTF-8 and column 'namew' in cp1251. Both columns have some cyrillic information in it. You use xterm with koi8r character set to work with your database. There are 3 steps you need to do to work with your table.
1. alter your table to include information about character sets that are used in your table (see section Converting 4.0 Character Columns to 4.1 Format). Most of us have to do this step because usually you inherit your tables from MySQL 4.0 If you created your table and specified character sets there is no need to do this step. Verify your actions using SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM table_name.
2. SET NAMES KOI8R. (see section Connection Character Sets and Collations for details). It explains that your I/O is done in KOI8R
3. SELECT name,namew FROM table_name;
Database will convert UTF8,cp1251--> koi8r for you and will produce results in koi8r character set that you can see on your terminal. You can also do
UPDATE table_name SET name='koi8r-typed-russian-word'
and database will convert your string that you typed in koi8r into UTF-8 format and store in your table.
Posted by milos korac on March 31 2005 6:55pm | [Delete] [Edit] |
so, i have a real estate web site www.capecana.com and we have database in 5 languages, one of them is russian. So why simple, when it can be compicated? First i gave my secretary access to myadmin so she can work with russian (Natasha), and we had trouble with russian characters...so again search machines, topics, forums etc. and it was the point with encoding ex. KOI8-R as it was used on Unix, its a table with a russian characters and on the top andon the left side you have a characters that are encoding one russian letter...
mysql> SHOW CHARACTER SET;
| koi8r | KOI8-R Relcom Russian | koi8r_general_ci | 1 |
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pass');
if (!$link) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysql_error());
$charset = mysql_client_encoding($link);
printf ("Current character set is %s\n",$charset);
Posted by Vasko Tsintsev on November 29 2005 3:21pm | [Delete] [Edit] |
It's true about the results like "???????" . In versions of PHP >5.0.* and MySQL 4.1.14 , and if you try to get result in cyrillic , you will see just "????". There is sample solution : immediately after mysql_connect() , and mysql_select_db() add this lines :
mysql_query("SET NAMES CP1251");
Thats all ... ! Good luck ... !

Comments about Teamwork Jets Motivational Poster:
We got this poster to hang in our Dept to remember our off-site meeting to enhance teamwork. The saying fit perfectly with our theme. The colors are vibrant so it can be seen across the Dept. It looks expensive but the cost was less than printing a poster and framing it ourselves. Good quality so it should last for many years.

Elm St. Shooting
By: Import User
Updated: December 18, 2008
Last night, she remembers hearing a loud pop when it all started, "It sounded like a cap gun or firecrackers went off."
Thats when she opened her door to find Solis bleeding from his stomach, "I though he was shot in the leg, but when he moved I saw a lot of blood on him."
She admits having this happen in front of her, made her realize this can happen to anyone.
"It was right on my front porch, it was scary."
Now, shes concerned for Solis as he recovers and is away from work. As for Pizza Hut, they couldnt give a comment, but they did express their shock and concern for what happened to Solis.

I can see where your hate for Oakland comes from being a Denver fan myself, but as much as I'd like it the Raiders won't be the worst team. Although they will place 3rd, possibly 4th, in one of the weaker divisions in the NFL. The Panthers will have another bad year. The Bengals will more then likely have a terrible season. And the 49ers seem to be going down the 'Suck for Luck' route. I think it'll probably be one of those three.
The raiders have had decent players...but they can't rally together as a TEAM it seems like..and they make stupid errors on the field... they are straving for a decent qb... my opinion woulda changed IF vince young woulda signed. But all the teams you mentioned are just awful as well
HAHAHAAH did ureally just name Terrell Pryor on your shitty little list of players?? dude he's a piece of shit Jim Tressel was a GREAT coach thats why OSU always has a good record but never puts out any amazing draft talent. leave it to the dumbass Raiders to sign him. as long as Al Davis is in the front office the Raiders will be laughable. they've had soooooooooooooooo many chances to draft studs and they always reach for speedsters.. EVERYBODY realizes that except for Raider fans LOL..
that being said panthers will be the worst again. Redskins actually have a pretty good defense and the bengals have the talent to win a few games this year
Pimp Limp said:
the raiders? are you kidding....
RUN DMC? jacoby ford? terrell pryor in 5 games... their actually a pretty decent team.
seattle seahawks will prolly suck dick.. redskins will too.
but anyways.... PACK ATTACK FOR REPEAT BABY! i love being from wisconsin.. everyone knows the packers are the coolest team, i could talk about them all day, we just brought in the best draft class AGAIN.. its almost unfair..
go bills
You should pray.

If you are experiencing brief pauses in your breathing pattern, and hence wish to know what is apnea, the following section will help guide you to understand this sleep disorder and its various types. Sleep apnea can in fact be quite detrimental to your health, as it might lead to long pauses in breathing while you are asleep which can be quite dangerous. Hence to be able to deal with this disorder, it is important to understand what is apnea.
The literal translation of the word 'Apnea' is being 'without wind'. You probably must be wondering that brief pauses in breathing are quite common so what really is apnea? Yes, its very normal to have occasional pauses in breathing, but those suffering from apnea can have pauses that are even longer than 20 seconds, which can be dangerous!

Congratulations to this week's KKBN Goodie Winner: Rose Rodriguez

As a whole, people are currently releasing far more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than ecosystems can immediately reabsorb. In other words, our carbon footprint is outstripping nature's capacity to deal with it.
As a result, these gases are building up in the atmosphere, causing global temperatures to rise – and, consequently, climate change.
Continued emissions of greenhouse gases could see the average global temperature rise by more than 4°C by the end of this century. The impacts of such a rise are the biggest threat to nature and humanity in the 21st century.

Delays Due to Convention
The next comic has been delayed a little bit due to preperations being made for my attendance at ChibiPa. I will try to have one or two comics out sometime this week, probably Tuesday and Thursday if at all possible, and then I'll be leaving for the convention on Friday. I'll be returning Monday afternoon, so next week's comic will also likely be pushed back. If you don't hear from me by next Tuesday, I've been kidnapped, send help.
August 15th, 2009
September 4th - 6th I will be attending a convention called Chibi-Pa at the Crowne Plaza Hotal in West Palm Beach, Florida. I've never been to a convention before so I'm sure this will prove to be an unusual experience. Their website is located at www.chibipa.com. If you're in the area, consider stopping by.

A note on the carrots. They store very well in the ground and we eat ours all winter long. We live in a northern climate and cover them with a little straw to prevent them from freezing. Then when we want fresh carrots I just roll back the straw a bit, dig some out and cover the remaining carrots back up. They get sweeter the deeper into the winter they go.
Thanks, Cliffson... sounds similar to beets, in that respect. Good info!

"I'm not thrilled by the prospect of smoking the Starbucks of bud, but I hold out hope that the microbrews of pot can also flourish in the emerging state markets. And since large-scale operations have the most to lose, they will be the most accountable. They have the incentive to check ID (keeping pot out of the hands of kids, since sales to people under the age of 21 remain illegal), pay taxes (Shively expects to pay $300 million a year in taxes), and adhere to the letter of the law, establishing a model for the pot industry that will make it safer than the illegal market."
After successful ventures in Vietnam and India, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said the coffee company will likely expand to Myanmar within the next few years.
"The shop includes a separate brew bar, where you may order any coffee in the catalog prepared on your choice of gadget, including AeroPress, Bee House, Chemex, French press, siphon and V60."

I know that SmugMug is primarily oriented at photographers. I have an account there, with some hobby pictures of mine, and I like the experience. I don't have other accounts to upload pictures to, for example no DeviantArt account. It would be convenient for me to upload other image files to SmugMug, for example fractal art I have generated, so I don't spread my pictures between multiple accounts.
Is it intended and required that SmugMug accounts contain photographs only? Or is it just targeted at photographers, but allowing the user to add a gallery of other types of digital art? Would I break the TOC agreement if I upload a non-photographic image in my gallery?

Facebook is the world's largest social network, with over 1 billion monthly active users.
Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in February 2004, initially as an exclusive network for Harvard students. It was a huge hit: in 2 weeks, half of the schools in the Boston area began demanding a Facebook network. Zuckerberg immediately recruited his friends Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes, and Eduardo Saverin to help build Facebook, and within four months, Facebook added 30 more college networks.
The original idea for the term Facebook came from Zuckerberg's high school (Phillips Exeter Academy). The Exeter Face Book was passed around to every student as a way for students to get to know their classmates for the following year. It was a physical paper book until Zuckerberg brought it to the internet.
With this success, Zuckerberg, Moskowitz and Hughes moved out to Palo Alto for the summer and rented a sublet. A few weeks later, Zuckerberg ran into the former cofounder of Napster, Sean Parker. Parker soon moved in to Zuckerberg's apartment and they began working together. Parker provided the introduction to their first investor, Peter Thiel, cofounder of PayPal and managing partner of The Founders Fund. Thiel invested $500,000 into Facebook.
With millions more users, Friendster attempted to acquire the company for $10 million in mid 2004. Facebook turned down the offer and subsequently received $12.7 million in funding from Accel Partners, at a valuation of around $100 million. Facebook continued to grow, opening up to high school students in September 2005 and adding an immensely popular photo sharing feature the next month. The next spring, Facebook received $25 million in funding from Greylock Partners and Meritech Capital, as well as previous investors Accel Partners and Peter Thiel. The pre-money valuation for this deal was about $525 million. Facebook subsequently opened up to work networks, eventually amassing over 20,000 work networks. Finally in September 2006, Facebook opened to anyone with an email address.
In the summer of 2006, Yahoo attempted to acquire the company for $1 billion dollars. Reports actually indicated that Zuckerberg made a verbal agreement to sell Facebook to Yahoo. A few days later when Yahoo's stock price took a dive, the offer was lowered to $800 million and Zuckerberg walked away from the deal. Yahoo later offered $1 billion again, this time Zuckerberg turned Yahoo down and earned instant notoriety as the "kid" who turned down a billion. This was not the first time Zuckerberg turned down an acquisition offer; Viacom had previously unsuccessfully attempted to acquire the company for $750 million in March 2006.
Not long after, in October 2007, Microsoft invested $240 million into Facebook for 1.6 percent of the company in. This meant a valuation of over $15 billion, making Facebook the 5th most valuable US Internet company, yet with only $150 million in annual revenue. Many explained Microsoft's decision as being solely driven by the desire to outbid Google.
Facebook continued to receive funding, most notably in January 2011 receiving a $1.5 billion round, valuing the company at $50 billion. A year later, in February 2012, Facebook announced that it was filing for its long-anticipated initial public offering. The company went public on May 18, 2012, opening on the NASDAQ with shares trading at $42.05.
One sour note for Facebook has been the controversy with social network ConnectU. The founders of ConnectU, former classmates of Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard, allege that Zuckerberg stole their original source code for Facebook. The ordeal has gone to court, and has now been resolved.
Notwithstanding this lingering controversy, Facebook's growth has been staggering. Facebook announced astonishing numbers in February 2012 upon filing for its IPO. Over 845 million users log into Facebook every month, and 483 million users log in daily. Mobile users now make up half of Facebook's user base, with 425 million monthly actives. Facebook also announced that by the end of 2011 there had been 100 billion friend connections, and in recent months users had been registering 2.7 billion Likes and Comments per day. Facebook is one of the most trafficked sites in the US, and its international growth has been impressive. Additionally, Facebook is the top photo sharing site with 250 million photos uploaded per day.
Facebook users' passion—or addiction—to the site is unparalleled: more than half use the product every single day and users spend an average of 19 minutes a day on Facebook. The site's popularity has garnered it pop culture fame, so much so that in 2010 a feature film entitled The Social Network was released which chronicled Facebook's inception.
In its 2012 IPO filing, Facebook announced that it intends to grow in the near future by expanding its global user base, increasing engagement by developing new social tools, improving the mobile experience, and creating more value for advertisers and users.

About Pop Conference
For the first nine years of its existence, Pop Conference was held annually at EMP Museum. For the last two years, however, Pop Conference has been hosted by prestigious institutions on the east and west coasts of the United States: UCLA in 2011 and NYU in 2012.
The conference has broadened the understanding of the integral role that music plays in the human experience and resulted in multiple publications including three collections of essays: This Is Pop: In Search of the Elusive at Experience Music Project (Harvard University Press, 2004), Listen Again: A Momentary History of Pop Music (Duke University Press, 2007), and Pop When the World Falls Apart: Music in the Shadow of Doubt (Duke University Press, 2012). These successes have secured the conference as one of the foremost venues for discussion of music in the world.

Challenges remain for city's budget | Mayor Skip Priest
By FEDERAL WAY MAYOR SKIP PRIEST
Federal Way Mirror contributor
October 23, 2012 · 3:54 PM
While many cities are struggling with difficult budgets, potential layoffs and service reductions, the City of Federal Way's proposed 2013-2014 budget offers a balanced budget that preserves existing programs for our residents.
The "No Frills, No Cuts" budget doesn't launch any ambitious new programs, but it will ensure that the services that matter to the community — from public safety to parks and recreation, from street maintenance to safe neighborhoods — will remain intact for residents.
The city council and I will be discussing the proposed budget over the next month, and taking public comments on the budget in a number of ways. I want to encourage residents to share their thoughts about the budget and ask questions prior to a final budget decision being made at the Dec. 4 city council meeting. You can download the budget and related documents on our budget webpage at www.cityoffederalway.com/budget.
Reaching a balanced budget is the result of nearly two years of hard work by the staff and the Federal Way City Council. The previous two-year budget required layoffs and deep cuts to close an $8.9 million operating gap. After I took office as the city's first elected mayor in November 2010, the council and I began to work on the 2013/2014 budget, agreeing that the city needed to alter its course toward a path to fiscal sustainability.
The first step on that path was a major management and senior staff reorganization that saved the city nearly $1 million. We saved another $1.5 million by instituting a philosophy of "frugal innovation" — finding ways to deliver the same or better services at lower costs. In addition to the current savings, both measures provide ongoing savings to the city, making it easier to balance next biennium's budget as well as subsequent budgets.
Balancing the budget also required redirecting $600,000 of street overlay funding to the General Fund each year and reducing or eliminating almost $200,000 a year of various line items. A federal grant awarded to the city for 2013 will refill the overlay fund, keeping our street maintenance program whole, and our streets in top condition.
Public safety remains the city's top priority with two-thirds of the city's budget directed to police, the court system and jail services. Parks, Public Works and Community and Economic Development also maintain even funding during the next two years, ensuring that residents will not see changes in service in these areas, either.
The proposed 2013/2014 budget is, at its core, a cautious budget. We preserve a healthy "end of fund" balance each year, as recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association to be prepared for unanticipated emergencies. Likewise, the proposed budget maintains healthy reserve funds for specific areas such as emergency management, which was critical in responding to January's ice and snow storm.
Caution is also warranted as there is a long list of potential fiscal landmines that the city may encounter over the next two years. In March, the state Legislature cut liquor excise tax revenues shared with cities, a move that reduced Federal Way's revenues by $480,000 a year. The likelihood of the city budget being hit by additional state cuts, as well as federal budget cuts, remains high. Employer healthcare costs continue to rise, and we are seeing increased costs to the city from the regional SCORE jail facility Federal Way is a partner in.
Looking beyond this balanced budget, there are long-range challenges lurking in the next biennium. The projections for 2015/2016 show the ending fund balance being depleted and the return of an operating budget gap. Once the 2013/2014 budget is passed, we will need to begin working on the 2015/2016 budget, and we cannot lose sight of the long-term financial challenges and the need to continue to contain costs.
The city is not much different from households all over Federal Way who are also making tough decisions to respond to the challenging economic times. We have to live within our means, and this budget does that, controlling spending, while maintaining vital city services necessary to support a growing community and business sector as the economy recovers.

Person conceived of breeding between two closely related couples, or someone with a very weak gene pool, but usually the former. Places famous for being rather inbred are some remote or scummy parts of the UK (where the chav population is high) and US redneck areas. This is a great shame for both countries as both have a typically wide gene pool due to different peoples settling over many hundreds of years. Also, royal circles are rather inbred too, for legitimacy reasons. Eugh, look at the inbred...actually, second thoughts, don't.

When you fuck your family members. Hey Iean, Julios Inbred.

A practice where closely related family members produce children. Because of this, the genes inherited may cause problems for the child where the child's genes may have suffered due to the lack of genetic diversity. Royal families, neocons, and extremists are all the products of inbreeding.

The kind of repulsive-looking, Confederate-flag-waving, cowboy-hat-wearing human filth you see on Jerry Springer and slithering through every rural town in America. They're a genetic abomination and must be stopped before they ruin this country's gene pool even worse than it already is. Guests on Springer are inbreds of 10 consecutive generations of brother-sister fucking with some barnyard animals thrown in to give their gene-pool an extra spice. Their DNA doesn't even register as human anymore.

If someone is inbred they are the result of an incestuous relationship. Cleetus' mother and father are also brother and sister. sick, huh?
