5. | pooface | ||
a triangular shaped head with a partial brown hair type covering, usually attached to the top of a short fleshy tower. Poofaces are indigenous to Kitchens and Dairy Queens. Because of their small stature, poofaces can hide in rooms easily. Unlike House Hippos, Poofaces have a more skeletal appearance. pooface ha ha you looked
1. | pooface | ||
Generally considered a mild insult, as compared to stronger varieties such as shitface, shithead and so on. Usually considered somewhat childish, and for that reason generally confined to more informal situations (or use by children). Some children find it amusing to repeat this word indefinitely. Pooface is sometimes used in conjuction with adverbs which strengthen its meaning, e.g., "complete pooface", or "total pooface".
Many other insults are related to, and possibly derived from, this one, for instance, shitface, shithead, craphead, dunghead, shitbrain, etc. All of these words share the common structure "word for faeces" + "word for part of head". There is also a more general category of words which have the structure "some kind of vaguely insulting substance" + "body part", e.g. "cheese-dick", "strawberry-dick" (note that hyphenation varies with these types of word, although you will rarely see "poo-face"). A word which is related to pooface is rondabe, which is often discovered by accident when someone is writing a predictive text and tries to type "pooface". For some reason, many pr... |
2. | Pooface | ||
an term used when someone acts like a dork around their friends; normally used affectionately as it is very elementary; not as harsh as shithead When Marissa put her thong on her head, I called her a pooface.
3. | Pooface | ||
Can be used when insulting someone without being overly mean, such as close friends. 'Oh Olly is such a pooface!"
4. | pooface | ||
mild insult that one can use on a friend. sarah, you're a pooface.
6. | pooface | ||
somebody who has a turd stuck to their face.
somebody you dont like. A lame insult used by clueless people or primary school kids "HAHA, you have a turd stuck to your face!"
oof, your such a pooface |

>Someone who is really ugly, poos alot. Edna ross has a really bad pooface.

Update: The PICGroove Mod PS3 SixAxis Guide is now available as promised for those interested in JailBreaking your PS3 with a PlayStation 3 SixAxis Controller!
Today hasuky at Spanish site Elotrolado.net (linked above) posted a video (below) of what appears to be a PS3 JailBroken using a PlayStation 3 SixAxis controller.
According to el_apren on IRC he plans to share a guide tomorrow on how it was done. When asked if the controller is usable afterwards he confirmed that it does indeed work normally on the PS3.
Below is the video courtesy of ryohasuky via YouTube along with a rough translation of his post, as follows:
"Start by telling you, not to say bad words are one of those many people that maybe criticize the work of others without having done any research or evidence.
Give me a little sorry for yourself and for those who doubt this project because I've spent a bit of my time and achieved what I wanted to do, not having a separate usb device, I wanted to run from the command Psgroove Sixsaxis and step be updatable via PC with just the controller and a USB cable for your bad luck has made the video I'm uploading it now takes a bit because my connection is shared.
If you wait about 30 minutes more or less what you see, long time I was interested by the different consoles, as amended.
I tell you to cool something that was the first to repair a bad nand extracted from a xbox 360, I have a couple of tutorials that many served him.
And thanks to EOL and many people who make this forum what is now really. Tomorrow I will have to make the tutorial and make the respective tests. Greetings."

Oshawa re-emerged as the automotive capital of Canada last year, according to statistics compiled by DesRosiers and Associates.
Oshawa once produced close to a million vehicles per year in Canada, but with General Motors re-structuring dropped to only 243,580 units in 2009, said Dennis DesRosiers, a Toronto-based auto analyst. "This put Oshawa behind Alliston in 2009 and in fourth place behind Windsor, Alliston and Cambridge in 2010. But GM's decision to move overflow Chevy Equinox production to Oshawa pushed that city's production up by 60,000 units in 2011 and enabled the city to call again itself the automotive capital of Canada, said DesRosiers.
Windsor was in second place, with 301,500 units; and Cambridge came in third, with 290,400 units. Alliston fell back to sixth place.
Both Honda and Toyota struggled all year with supply chain issues due to natural disasters. Those difficulties cost enough production to drop them a few notches. Ingersoll fell into in fourth place, with 285,100 units. The CAMI plant in Ingersoll struggled for years, but with the introduction of the Equinox it has found a firm place in vehicle manufacturing in Canada and is now consistently one of the country's top producers, said DesRosiers.
Overall, production in Canada increased to 2.1 million units, a jump of 2.4 per cent. This past decade saw Canada averaging closer to 2.5 million units per year, so we are still well below historical levels, said DesRosiers.
"Indeed, even with a cyclic upturn it is questionable whether Canada will ever return to historical production levels," he said.
A number of plants have been closed in the past few years, including the shutdown last fall of Ford's St. Thomas facility.
"We also no longer produce any pickup trucks, currently a growth segment in the market," he said. "We do not produce any small cars - the fastest growing market segment in North America. Mexico produces almost 90 per cent of B-sized vehicles in North America. These factors make it hard for Canada to return to previous production levels."
As a result of both cyclic and structural issues, Canada's share of production fell to 15.9 per cent of the North American total, a nine-year low, he added.
"A number of all-new greenfield assembly plants have been announced for the U.S. and Mexico, so Canada's share of production will fall further over the next few years even if our assembly plants' mandates are renewed," said DesRosiers.

"Dianne, I received my order today. Everything is wonderful and arrived so quickly! I will be very highly recommending shopping at your establishment. Thank you!! Susan H. "
"Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I have been out of town. The replacement ornament was waiting for me, when I got back, and it is perfect! Hopefully, the paint problem on my male snowman was just a fluke?! I was able to take a photograph of the defective one on my phone, but since I opted not to have internet capabilities, I can only send it to another phone and I don`t know what number I would use? (in case you haven`t already realized, I`m a bit technologically challenged!) So you can add me to your list of satisfied customers, who will vouch that you stand by your products unconditionally. Many thanks for your time and trouble. I know the recipients of this ornament are going to be thrilled. Sincerely, Janet B."
"I just wanted to let you know that I received the ornaments today and they are perfect. The house ornament is even better than I thought. I just really love them and I am so pleased with them. It's exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much. Deborah"

Shane Doan in New York visiting with Rangers
Originally published: Jul 20, 2012 - 10:11 am
After spending two weeks gauging interest and fielding offers, Shane Doan is making his first official visit of free agency Friday, and he is doing it in New York.
Doan, the 35-year-old free agent, who has spent his entire career with the Winnipeg/Phoenix organization, is in New York and meeting with the Rangers brass to discuss a future on Broadway.
The Rangers finished with the most points (109) in the Eastern Conference this past season and reached the Eastern Conference Finals before losing to the New Jersey Devils in six games. The Rangers were showing interest in Doan last week, and he currently has offers on the table from Los Angeles, San Jose, Vancouver, Detroit, Buffalo and Pittsburgh.
One offer Doan has is a four-year contract in excess of $30 million. There are several other teams interested in Doan, who had 22 goals and 28 assists in leading the Coyotes to the Western Conference Final last season, but the visit in New York is his first since free agency started.

Groupon upgraded — stock jumps
(AP) — Shares of Groupon Inc. climbed in premarket trading Wednesday after an analyst upgraded the company, saying he sees potential in the company's changing business model in the long term.
Arvind Bhatia of Sterne Agee & Leach raised Groupon to "Buy" from "Neutral" and set a price target of $9 on the shares.
Shares added 38 cents, or 7.2 percent, to $5.67 shortly after trading opened today. The stock, which went public in November 2011 at $20, has lost 73 percent of its value over the past 12 months as revenue growth slowed.
The Chicago company pioneered the online daily deals market, offering subscribers deep discounts on everything from spa sessions to toe fungus treatments. As growth in that business slowed, and in an attempt to distinguish itself from copycat online deals websites, Groupon has tried to establish itself as a local e-commerce company. It now also sells electronic gadgets and other goods.
Bhatia said in a Wednesday client note that he's increasingly confident about Groupon's effort to grow its business from mostly emailing deals to potential customers to becoming a marketplace where people find deals through search engines.
Groupon has been testing this marketplace in Chicago and New York, and may roll it out to more cities over the coming months. Bhatia said it could be an "important growth driver" for Groupon.
He also was more optimistic about the international business, even though he doesn't expect any quick turnaround in Europe. The weak economy there has weighed on the company.
In addition, Bhatia believes competition may be easing, and Groupon remains the biggest company in the online daily deals sector.

Egyptian builds M3-powered BMW 1-series
We are pleased to report that in the wake of a full-on revolution that remains unsettled, some Egyptians understand that what the world really needs right now is a tiny BMW with a stonking V8 from an M3.
The 1addicts forum member "hatembmw" wanted a BMW 1M. But, in Egypt, that privilege costs about $150,000 (U.S.). Being a reasonable guy, he knew that that was too much to pay for a BMW 1M, especially when it doesn't even come with a 420-hp, rev-happy V8.
The only reasonable solution to this problem was to strip a BMW 120d down to practically nothing and rebuild it with a 1M-style suspension, bodywork and the aforementioned V8.
Could there be a better way to celebrate your country's first free election than by ripping some insane doughnuts? That, right there, is true freedom.

Today we present a sneak peek into the world of muscle car culture. We are lifting the veil on two classic Muscle car's as the first video highlights the Chevrolet Camaro and the second showcasing the Ford Mustang. They are very different in how they are present to the audience as the Camaro short is shot in a documentary style format as the view is treated to 2011 Camaro5 Fest down in Scottsdale AZ (an event organized by Camaro5.com). The short film only features the newest Camaro version in all of its different models from base V6 to the tire shredding Mohawk wearing ZL1.
Whereas the Mustang video is a show/bling piece created by the Mustang Club of Parana in Brazil and features lot of smokey burnouts covering all generations of the original pony car. The club rallied together to celebrate the clubs eleventh anniversary with a brief flick starring some of Brazil's most diehard Mustang fans. Every generation of Mustang development gets at least a little time on screen, from less-loved members of the clan like the Mustang II to a few ever-popular Eleanor replicas.

More Perspective from the Black Agenda Report
The author, BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon, kindly gave permission to publish the below in full from the Black Agenda Report as long as there was a reference to the original article. That reference is here: "Stick Together" Obama Tells Black Mis-Leadership Class At White House Conference.
The US president is the most powerful man in the world. Black unemployment was already at an all time high the day Barack Obama was sworn in. Three years into his term, there are few signs that record black unemployment, growing poverty, the wave of foreclosures centered in minority neighborhoods are concerns for this administration.
"Stick Together" Obama Tells Black Misleadership Class At White House Conference
Last week, with exactly a year to go before the 2012 election, President Obama summoned a few hundred carefully selected African Americans to the White House. They were preachers and entertainers, politicians and promoters and business people – the kinds of folks we call "leaders: in the black community, whether or not they have or ever will lead us anyplace we really need to go. This was, after all, what the White House called its African American Leadership Conference. It was clearly a campaign event, and just as clearly an attempt on the president's part to back down a little from the utter contempt he displayed last month toward the suffering of the black unemployed and dispossessed at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting, telling them to "stop whinin'... stop cryin' and complainin'.."
They has a "working lunch" with Attorney General Eric Holder. Presumably none of the well-fed preachers or politicians present asked the attorney general why the Justice Department had, 3 full years after the biggest Wall Street crash since 1929, had not begun a criminal investigations of bank and mortgage fraud, or why the Obama Justice Department was pushing a "settlement" of mortgage banking fraud claims that would protect all the banksters involved from future prosecution.
Why were there no probing questions? Because a section of the black misleadership class were themselves implicated in pushing widespread predatory loans on black customers. Black political leaders had long ceased to advocate the construction of affordable housing. Instead, many of them lent their names, offices and churches to "mortgage fairs" and seminars peddling predatory loans to black families in their own communities, touting these as "wealth-building" exercises. As these predatory loans pushed on black and poor consumers have been a disproportionate share of foreclosures, the wealth gap between white and black families has grown, under Obama's watch from eleven to one to more than twenty to one.
It's a fact too, that if Barack Obama ever intended to create the millions of "green jobs" his campaign talked about, his all-time historic opportunity was when the federal government acquired General Motors, one of the planet's largest collection of manufacturing and engineering capital and expertise. The president could have appointed new GM managers and directed them to do electric cars, buses and trucks, or green energy saving building materials and battery technologies, or high speed rail. Congress couldn't have stopped him, but this class of "black leaders" won't call him to account either.
The working lunch followed morning panel sessions economic security, jobs training, corporate education reform which really means school privatization, and on "the President's domestic policy agenda and the African American community." We are not aware that the black leaders present asked about the tens of thousands of experienced and superbly qualified public school teachers whose salaries have been lowered, whose benefits compromised or whose jobs have been eliminated by the Obama administration's Race To The Top program. But then, some of the politicians present had accepted campaign contributions from the advocates of educational privatization.
If any of the assembled "leaders" noted the incongruence of talk about the "economic security of the black community coming from a president and congressional leaders who crafted the anti-democratic "supercommittee" budget-cutting process with Medicaid and social security on the table in return for nominal taxes on millionaires, there's no record of that either.
We doubt that anybody took the president or his advisers to task for violating campaign pledges to renegotiate NAFTA, or for pushing even more "free trade" agreements through
The president was nowhere on the schedule, but as per the usual custom he made a carefully staged entrance and briefly addressed the crowd.
"We know tough times," the president said. "And what we also know, though, is that if we are persistent, if we are unified, and we remain hopeful, then we'll get through these tough times and better days lie ahead."
The president exhorted them to go back to their communities and tell people about his American Jobs Act, which is stalled in Congress. Never mind that the jobs in the "jobs bill" are mostly fictions (like the lie that tax cuts create jobs --- a large number of the "jobs" in the bill are supposed to result from its multibillion dollar tax cuts) inside a bigger fiction ---- there were no "jobs bills" introduced at all, during the two years Obama's party held both houses of Congress. During that time, the president told black America repeatedly that it was the private sector's duty to produce jobs, and that we'd have to wait for some of those trillions they gave the banksters to trickle back down so every about a jobs bill.
It was in that same spirit of denial that the president asked the assembled "leaders" for job-producing ideas of their own ---- things, he said "...that we can take right now administratively that would make a difference in the communities that all of you represent."
Given that black unemployment was already at an all time high the day Barack Obama took office, hearing him ask this questions near the end of his term instead of at the beginning is not a good sign. The president of the United States is still the most powerful man in the world, certainly the one with the most tools at hand to get the things he wants done.
Barack Obama is a student of history and nobody's fool. Obama knows that when Ronald Reagan took office in 1981 he came to the White House with a long list of executive actions to do what he could not get through the Democrat-dominated Congress of the time. Obama knows that Reagan appointed anti-legal aid ideologues to supervise legal aid, anti-environmentalist hacks to head up the Interior Dept, and an obnoxious stooge named Clarence Thomas, who hated civil rights laws to supervise the EEOC, and rushed through a stack of executive orders in the first days of his term. If Barack Obama didn't come to DC with a list of job-creating programs and executive orders, it was because he never intended to do these things.
What the president does intend to do somehow, is get re-elected. He knows that without the absolute and solid support of better than nine out of ten black voters this is impossible. But without much to show after three years in the way of jobs, or housing, or prosecuting banksters, or protecting families from excessive debt or stopping the murderous and expensive wars around the world, what can Obama tell his troops, his followers in the black misleadership class whose careers, fortunes and credibility are hooked to his own? The answer was not much.
Persevere, stay the course, stick together, we'll get through this, the president assured his elite White House audience. No doubt they will. What else can they do? The black misleadership class is riding on a cognitive and delusional bubble. Like bubbles of other kinds, it's a delicate contraption that relies on a mass denial of economic and political reality, conflating black faces in high places with the economic and social empowerment of ordinary black people. As long as the bubble persists, so will this president's career, and the careers of the corporate funded black misleadership class he represents. Our "leaders" will do their jobs, and they will stick together, make no mistake about it.
But what about the rest of us? What else can we do?

Gonna hold judgement on this one. There's some pretty depraved women out there, so I could believe it, sick as it is. I've also known some pretty vicious 15 year old little bastards in my time, too.
Could go either way. Sad, very sad, in any case.

this is very disturbing and bizarre, but unfortunately not unheard of. there was a BBC America documentary on at the beginning of the summer called Brothers and Sisters in Love that was all about "genetic sexual attraction". it had two brother and sister couples(one couple had four severely disabled children, caused by the incest), one older brother and sister who met in their 50's and felt attraction they didn't act upon, and in the most deeply disturbing segment, a mother and adult son, who had been adopted. there is no information on the BBC America website and it doesn't appear to be on Youtube. this was the most information i could find about it from a quick google search:
this is a really disturbing story, and though it could be possible that there is some major information missing or problem with the case, it could also be just as it says. and from what's been shown so far and what she was charged with, this could be an incestuous abusive sick woman. if her son has emotional and mental issues, maybe that makes him the vulnerable one here, and she may have exploited that. i don't see why that would excuse her or be a red flag that it's his fault. if this wasn't about this woman coercing or forcing him into sex, why would this have been reported and investigated as it was, with her being charged with criminal sexual conduct? if this had been his idea, why the charges? i don't see that here. it looks like she's the problem, and rightfully charged.
also, the second story with the comments supporting her are not a new news story, but visitor comments from the original news story. comments by her friends saying she's innocent may not be worth much as evidence for her defence. these are people who know her that are trying to defend her, and when people like that come and leave supportive comments on any of the stories here it's NOT seen as something showing they're probably innocent.
anyone who's been here for a while (most of us in the thread) has seen sexually abusive mothers, and defenders of the people featured in threads or stories. what's different here? yes, there is something especially disturbing when it's the mom accused of this, and it's hard to imagine. none of that means it doesn't happen. i don't expect this story to have any bombshells or turn into something else. this looks like a horrible and disturbing crime from a strange, sick woman. it's awful and sad and probably happened more or less as they said it did. and whatever issues that kid had before, now he especially needs help and i hope that he gets it.

As I said when I was 27 a girl I had grown up with found her brother they had been given up for adoption.Both were married and had kids.They decided to meet(lived about 400 miles apart) and met a couple more times and all of a sudden they ran off together!I do remember police being involved but I dont remember exactly why,I think the brothers wife reported them but I cant say for sure I dont remember.The last I heard they had split but they had been back and forth and I remember thinking I was going to turn Geraldo or Sally on one day and see them on there.They both lost their kids I have no clue where they are anymore.Kathys husband moved by me into the city for the kids sake b/c a town under 3000 you know the kids would be the one to suffer.They have no contact with her,they are my kids age so young adults now and old enough to decide what they want to do.

heres the psychiatrist I was talking about earlier.http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574...-23109,00.htmlMental health experts called the case "an abomination" and said if proven it would have long lasting effects on the boy.
"I don't think I've heard of another case like this in my career," Dr. Gerald Shiener, chief of Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry at Sinai Grace Hospital in Detroit said.
"Our first reaction to hearing about something like this is that this is every man's nightmare. It's an abomination," he told MyFOXDetroit.
"I'm at a loss for words because it's something that we consider to be so out of the normal, so prohibited in every culture that it unnerves every man just to think about it."
"This could be his first sexual experience, and his first sexual experience could be something so conflicted, so unusual, so prohibited that it will stay with him for life," Dr Shiener said.

Sounds like an Oedipus Complex Reverso. The real kicker for me is she TRACKED him down. If it's all true and she did have sex with him, then she deserves everything the law can throw at her. If not and the boy is trying to manipulate the system in an act of revenge, he deserves the same fate. He has fucked with her reputation and her life for the sake of revenge.
BTW, as one who has grown up with a Bi-Polar cousin (younger), I can tell you they are capable of just about anything and it would not surprise me if at least some of this was the boy's fabrication. Even as young as 10yrs old, my cousin would invent some of the most outrageous stories about my uncle and aunt because he knew LE would listen. All of the stories were eventually debunked, but they caused a lot of heartache in the meantime. My aunt and uncle will always have my deepest respect, because they never gave up or gave up my cousin. Today he is doing well and has a wonderful family of his own. He freely admits to what he did and is truely repentent for it. He said that at the time though, it made sense to say and do whatever he could to get what he wanted.

http://www.theoaklandpress.com/artic...3170563546.txtOn the day her trial was to begin, a Waterford Township woman accused of having sex with the teenage son she gave up for adoption years earlier entered a guilty plea.
Aimee Louise Sword, 36, was charged with three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Under a plea bargain, she pleaded guilty this morning to one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Assistant Prosecutor Nicki Weisberger moved to dismiss the other charges.
Defense attorney Mitchell Ribitwer said Sword has accepted responsibility for her conduct and wanted to spare the teen any further trauma from having to testify during a trial.
Ribitwer asked Oakland Circuit Judge Daniel O'Brien to authorize a psychological exam of Sword for the purpose of assisting the judge in determining the sentence. O'Brien said he would take the request under advisement.

http://www.freep.com/article/2010071...g-sex-with-sonWaterford Township woman sentenced for having sex with son
Waterford Township mother will spend at least nine years in prison for having sex with the 14-year-old son she gave up for adoption when he was a few days old.
Its a very tragic case, and Im concerned for the welfare of this young boy and what it may have done to his psyche and his future, Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper said today after the sentencing for Aimee Louise Sword, 36. Its the first time Ive really seen something like that between a mother-son. But I have seen it unfortunately many times between a father-daughter.
Sword had been getting updates and a picture from the boys adoptive family in Grand Rapids every year, Swords Royal Oak lawyer Mitchell Ribitwer said. But when she didnt get a picture when the boy turned 14 in 2008, she contacted him herself online through a social networking site.
When she saw this boy, something just touched off in her -- and it wasnt a mother-son relationship, it was a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, Ribitwer said, after Sword apologized for her actions in Oakland County Circuit Court today. Aimees searching for a reason why this happened. She cant understand it. Shes going to get some counseling.
Originally charged with four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, the former Macys makeup counter clerk pleaded guilty to having sex with the boy once. Investigators say they had sex once in a Grand Rapids hotel and also at homes in Waterford.
After the boy got into trouble in Grand Rapids, his adoptive mother not knowing about the relationship agreed to allow him to stay with Sword in Waterford. Married at the time, Sword shared her home with her husband and five other children, toddlers to late teens.
Judge Daniel OBrien sentenced Sword to nine to 30 years in prison.

UPDATE: Aimee Sword apologized and pleaded guilty at sentencing Monday. She will serve at least 9 years in prison.
Someone said she gave up her child at age 5.
Terribly sad, but I wonder what was going on the circumstances and if she had other children.
Giving up a child at that age would be really fucked up for the kid but obviously, the woman has big, twisted issues. To then track him down a decade later to screw his life up even more. wicked. lock her up and forget about her.
