Hello FIFA fans. It's about time we get ourselves a nice simple FIFA Forum league here in our wonderful PlayStation Forums.
Now I'm just testing the water at the moment to see how it goes, so feedback is always welcome.
The League Table & fixtures can be found here: http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/Football/FI
The Forum League Setup:
At the end of each season we will include certain attributes and statistics to our "hall of fame"
League Rules:
It is important to arrange the games in this thread because of lack of attendance. The person who has shown less interest in combining the date / time will be the one who will be attributed to lack of attendance.
Each time you post to arrange a match with your opponent you must also post a suggestion for the date and time as well. So rather than post "I'm free all week" please just suggest a date and time for your opponent to say yes or no to instead.
If you are given a date and time you can't make, don't simply post saying "I can't do that time", please post a date and time you can do instead.
Match Rules:
Online Friendly but using online squads (for upto date teams and to prevent any meddling or virtual pros being used)
Duration of each half: 6 minutes
Controls: Any
Speed of play: Normal
The league starts 17/01/12 and finishes 7/2/12
You have to arrange to play an opponent each week. The Forum league week runs from Tuesdays to the following Mondays.
Each game must take place in the ranked Match lobby to ensure no one has tampered with a team.
To get to the Match lobby you must go to Online Modes > Custom Games > Match Lobbies
From there you can invite your opponent to the lobby and play him in a ranked match.
[So if that sounds good to you and your interested, sign up in this thread now!]
Solved! Go to Solution.

Division 1 (Teams can be unlimited star rating)
Division 2 (Teams can be upto 4 star rating)
Just to make it clearer how things are currently looking.
Obviously over time I'm sure those skilled players starting in lower divisions will eventually rise. I guess it's just a nice perk for those early birds

That's cool, no probs. Although ya may have to wait to decide your team until we know who and how many people have entered in that case.

Division 1 (Teams can be unlimited star rating)
Division 2 (Teams can be upto 4 star rating)
I may obviously have to change my team after the january transfer window, as Bolton will no longer be a 4 start team due to our amazing signings.

What are graphicsR Le Mans Fender Hash Stripes?
GraphicsR Le Mans Fender Hash Stripes are a universal trim-to-fit customizable body graphic. They come in a single section of one 23" long stripe. They can be applied to the hood, roof, trunk and bumpers of you car, truck or SUV.
Will this Le Mans Fender Hash Stripe fit my vehicle?
This is a universally sized graphic and can be applied to most vehicles. Always measure your application areas prior to purchasing this kit. We recommend using a tailor's tape measure as it will take into considerations the curves of your vehicle. If you don't have one, use a string and then measure the portion of the string that represents the graphic with a tape measure or ruler.
How do I install a
graphicsR Le Mans Fender Hash Stripes Kit
The easiest way to answer this questions is for you to watch our installation video on this page. Installing Le Mans Fender Hash Stripes are relatively easy.
> Installation difficulty depends on the ability of the installer.
> Depends on whether the vehicle has complex curves, protrusions or is compounded.
> Depends on if the proper installation tools and fluids are used.
> Depends on whether the installer is familiar with a wet application method.
What graphicsR application tools do you recommend?
All of them. Installation can be difficult and the tools we sell help guarantee results.
> A squeegee will reduce air bubbles and aide in heat conforming the graphic.
> Low friction sleeves prevent "squeegee scratches."
> Rapid Prep removes any dirt or debris from your painted surface.
> Rapid Tac will aide in the wet application of our vinyl graphic.
> Rapid Prep will act as a finishing agent and polish on all graphicsR products.
> Seal-It Pens are used to seal the edges of all our graphicsR product lines.
How much does it cost to have my kit installed?
These kits are designed for the DIY installer. We are here to help. If you are planning to have your graphicsR product installed by a shop you will not generally save any money. Installers generate their profit from installation costs, not the cost of film. They prefer to work with the film they regularly use and we recommend you go with their preferred film.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. GraphicsR products
offers a Standard Warranty film (3 years). These professional grade films are guaranteed to not fade, peel, crack, bubble or change shade when installed properly. The only exception to this is our Chrome and Brushed Aluminum films which carry a 1 year warranty.
Are your Le Mans Fender Hash Stripes
Yes, the film has a gloss finish which will blend with your vehicle's OEM finish, except for the case of Matte and Carbon Fiber R24 series films which have a sheen, but have a matte finish.
Will the paint not covered by my graphic fade?
By maintaining your car's paint with regular washing and waxing there will be little discernable difference.

Beauty Foods Head West
Posted: June 3, 2008
Beauty foods, or food and beverages that are said to provide a beauty benefit, originated in Asia and are migrating west. Mintel reports that beauty foods accounted for 8.9% of the food and nonalcoholic beverage market in the Asia-Pacific region in 2006, increasing to more than 35% in 2007. During the same time period, the share in Europe more than doubled, while North America showed a modest increase from 3.9% to 4.66%. This illustrates the explosive growth in Asia and the ensuing ripple effect to Europe and North America.
In Asia, there are many beauty foods that contain ingredients like collagen, which are more commonly found in skin care formulations. The number of collagen-containing confections in Asia-Pacific, for example, tripled from 2006 to 2007, according to Mintel. Fruit Gummy Pupurun from Meiji Seika Kaisha for example contains 1,500 mg of collagen per serving. It makes no overt beauty claim but relies on consumer recognition of collagen as a beauty-enhancing ingredient.
Likewise, Hi-Chu Plus delivers collagen in a white grape flavored chewing gum. Sold in packs of 12 sticks, the gum is also available with a supplement of iron or fiber.
Mintel's GNPD reveals that nonalcoholic beverages account for half of functional beauty foods in Asia. Nestlé Day & Night Collagen Enriched Low-fat Drink is a ready-to-drink containing an undisclosed amount of collagen and claims to foster improvement in skin elasticity and moisture.
Vitamin Collagen from Japanese brand C1000 combines 1000 mg of vitamin C and 3000 mg of collagen into a 190 g canned beverage. While it makes no beauty claims, the word collagen reportedly is the largest and most prominent word on the label.

"The Exorcism of Emily Rose" is based on a true story and is not really about the exorcism of Emily Rose but rather about the trial of a priest (Wilkinson) who got charged for negligent homicide not because of the performed exorcism but because he advised a young girl Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter) to stop taking a medicine she didn't want to take in the first place.
OK, so there is an exorcism happening somewhere along the lines but it doesn't make the movie, most of the time is spent in the court room listening to prosecutor Ethan Thomas (Campbell Scott), a man of faith and fact and his monotonous and lackluster speeches.
The whole argumentation of both sides leaves much to be desired and is nothing but circumstantial and in the defender's case not even that but solely based on faith and that with the defendant being an agnostic; an odd concept inside a courtroom. Hence the verdict in the end is just as odd and basically the only possible one.

Dallas Business Journal
May 7, 2013
While private equity investors of Neiman Marcus Group Inc. consider their exit strategy, a luxury retail expert predicts a move that could result in an increased emphasis on customer relations.
Milton Pedraza, CEO of The Luxury Institute LLC, said he belives that the next logical step for Dallas-based Neiman Marcus is to go public. The move would allow Neiman Marcus the freedom to focus on building relationships with its consumers.
"Neiman will have a very solid structure if they go public," Pedraza said. "It will be customer-centric rather than shareholder-centric."
Bloomberg reported earlier this week that TPG Capital and Warburg Pincus LLC, Neiman Marcus' private equity investors, were considering selling the company or taking it public. The firms held their investment for eight years, 60 percent longer than the norm, according to Bloomberg.
Neiman Marcus declined to comment.
Neiman Marcus could take four different directions, according to Randall Ray, partner with Munck Wilson Mandala LLP. Ray has spent almost 25 years dealing with corporate legal matters and said one thing is clear in this situation: TPG and Warburg will choose the path that ends with the highest profit for them in the least amount of time.
The four options, according to Ray, are: filing an initial public offering, selling to a private equity firm, selling to a strategic buyer and choosing a dividend recapitalization.
Pedraza said it was "less likely" that the firms would sell to another private equity firm.
"It would take a very special private equity firm to do the things Neiman Marcus needs," he said. "You need patient money to rebuild the brand."
Pedraza cites online retailers Amazon and Zappos as companies that have benefited from answering solely to the consumer. He also said that other retailers, such as Nordstrom and Michael Kors, have been successful in their transformations to becoming publicly owned.
Pedraza also said the recovering economic climate offers an opportunity for TPG and Warburg Pincus to sell to the general public.
"It's a good time to go public," he said, adding that a booming economy would offer the best conditions for the move. Whatever road Neiman Marcus chooses, there will be few clues as to its direction until the transaction is complete.
"Unless Neiman Marcus feels compelled to make this information public, there won't be a lot of transparency in the process," Pedraza said.

Developing resources for social enterprise
Practice No. 930
Last modified: 25/03/2011 08:55:56
Institution: University of the West of England
Recently there has been growing interest in an alternate business model, social enterprise. This is a different way of doing business that trades for a social purpose whereby the social or environmental aims of the business are of equal importance to its commercial activities. Consequently the skills required for running a successful social enterprise combine those typical of enterprise activities generally with a strong motivation and passion for social improvement. We have found that this aspect is useful in engaging researchers because at the heart of social enterprise is a strong commitment to achieving a better society, a motivation that resonates with that which typically drives the research agenda and researchers themselves. This collaborative project with Vitae has been successful in developing written and associated video materials to explore enterprise skills with early career researchers. There are plans to disseminate the resources via Vitae as part of the ongoing move to produce development resources that are freely available to HEIs as part of the research skills development agenda, this is likely to be in January 2011. -
