I think if you condensed the match report itself as they're currently too long to read for about 4 games worth in one post.

quote Parmar1993Aw damn. Is there any way I can keep them??
Definitely. But I don't want to give a chronological match report, if that's what you're hinting at. I was looking for more of a 'live commentary' type, but from the managers' side. You get me? Any way I can incorporate that?

Chapter 5 - Kaharius: The Future of FC United of Manchester?
This interview is brought to you by FCUMTV and FCUMRadio.
When Kaharius landed his first job as manager, in a remote town located in the peak of a mountain in the midst of the snow-capped Himalayas, he had a particular mantra; "Pass unto others, how you expect others to pass unto you."
Simple, but effective. His first team, known as Kaharius United ("no relation to me, whatsoever" he claims), won the local cup once in the two years that he coached them. Having given up his lifelong dream of starting his very own tea shop, to take over his father's coffee shop, Kaharius was delighted when his friend asked him to take over as Head Coach for KU, for a few weeks.
"I went there, and a few weeks, turned into two years", states the Indian-born, who recently became an Englishman.
Kaharius has gone on to manage five and a half local clubs, enjoying success with the majority of them, most prominently with the half-team. And now, he has added another feather to his cap, (or rather, his first and only one so far, because no one thinks local Indian teams are feathers, really), by becoming the second manager of FC United of Manchester, since its inception in 2005.
The 32 year old has taken the time, from his busy schedule, to chat with our FCUMTV abd FCUMRadio host, Jay Kay El.

FC United of Manchester - Rise to Greatness
Chapter 6 - I was born with a great gift, and sometimes with that comes a destructive streak.
Our first match this month is against CS Iolceanicu, one of the stronger sides of the league. In fact, on paper, we might be one of the weakest teams. On paper. So on paper, almost every team is 'one of the stronger sides in the league'. Again, on paper.
Match Report
FC United of Manchester grab a late win against arch rivals CS Iolceanicu in a 5-goal thriller.
The game started at an above-average pace, as we got a couple of shots on target. Strikers, Bjoerring and Valdrusen frequently tested the opposition keeper, only for the latter to come out on top. However, Valdrusen, played a ball that split the defence, allowing Bjoerring to easily slot it past the keeper. Five minutes in and the score was 1-0, in our favour. Krupati also had his fair share of attempts at our goal, but Xoeller denied him every time. Xoeller's resistance combined with Bjoerring's goal gave us and the fans, something to be optimistic about. But, after about 20 minutes minutes of our goal, Krupati caught our defence off guard and gave Torusitov an easy chance to equalize. 1-1. Now it was our turn to capitalize, as Bjoerring and Valdrusen switched it up and this time, Valdrusen scoring off Bjoerring's assist. But just before the half time whistle was blown, Bekir Irtegun whipped in a delicious cross, which was converted by Bercelgiu. A real see-saw game up until half time. I told the players to maintain a bit more possession and pass more to the feet rather than into space, for the second half. And it proved well enough, except our shots at goal were worth crap. I thought we'd be heading for a draw, but Laasrahe, who came on as a substitute for Scabby and was playing wonderfully down the flank up until now, scored an absolutely unbelievable goal to put is back in the lead, in stoppage time. 3-2, in our favour, We did just enough to hold them off at home, due to which, we climbed from 6th all the way to first in the table. The fans have something to sing about tonight.

Next up, we're facing FK Odersteich, another match at home for us. That last match gave us a bit of confidence, even though our finishing in the final third hasn't been quite up to the mark. Jespurmann had a bit of a strain in the groin area, this time (turned out this time he wasn't faking; ask the medic), so I gave his captain's armband to Nadih. I realized Nadih had better tenacity as well as stamina than Niellendner so he would be more of an ideal candidate to deputize. Let's see if it works out.
Match Report
Rexoe's sole goal enough for FCUM to grab another consecutive home win.
We took some time settle into the game and withstood some early pressure from Odersteich. Eventually, we took a hold of the game and started to create chances resulting but their defense kept level with our strikers. Bjoerring took three shots on goal, two of which missed the target. Odersteich were also busy plugging away at Xoeller, who managed to keep his composure and deny them any goals. After my half time talk with the guys, they looked to step up the pressure and rack up a goal. Although we created more chances than Odersteich, we couldn't find the back of the net. That is, until the 75th minute, when Bjoerring's astonishingly accurate through ball was capitalized by Rexoe, giving us the lead. 1-0. Nadih led well at the defensive end, where he and his mates made some great interceptions. I think he's an ideal deputy for Jespurmann. The last ten minutes of the game saw us experience immense pressure from the opposition. All of their players pushed up the field, looking for an equalizer. So much so, that they started playing aggressively. Unverwehl was booked for such a lunge at Ernesville. But we played well defensively, and held out that 1 goal lead until the end.

And the last match of the month is against Jorudberg FF. We're looking to extend our unbeaten run with this game. Jespurmann's felling better, so he'll come on, with a couple of other guys. Let's look at the match report.
Match Report
Niellendner's second half brace secured FCUM another three points to remain on top of the PDII League table.
We started fresh this time, keeping the ball, circulating well, and running Jorudberg off the pitch for the first ten minutes. But our final third was lacking, so none of our efforts paid off. We kept losing the ball in the mid-field are, re-taking possession only to lose the ball in the penalty box again. But we didn't let up, continuing to maintain plenty of possession and creating chances. Much of the action was centered on Niellendner and Hervas going both ways - both were very active defensively, and effective going forward. And Xoeller was again up to his usual jumpy self, denying the opposition any goals. We had gotten 3 out of 5 shots on target in the first half, but it was still a stalemate. As the second period began Jorudberg looked to maintain more possession than in the first. They were able to break through our defense immediately, but Xoeller came to the rescue again. Quickly, Xoeller pumped the ball up the field, where after a neat exchange, Niellendner ran past their defense and scored to give us the lead. 1-0. But he wasn't done yet. Almost two minutes later, Niellendner played a diagonal ball through to Rexoe who dribbled past a couple of defenders and easily played it past the keeper. 2-0. A comfortable cushion, if nothing else. In the 81st minute, Niellendner again ran past a non-existent defense and bagged a curler to further extend our lead. 3-0. Soon after, the whistle sounded, and we had another three points.

Chapter 7 - And if we win all our games next month also, it's called a winning streak.
You wanna know why I dread our first match this month? Not because it's against Squanoer. But because they have Djourou. Who cares if he wasn't that big an impact in Arsenal? They're a top club, and they must have seen something in him to buy him, or else why would they bother? Alright Steve, I guess that would make me dread this match because it is against Squanoer, techinically. Seriously, are you here to criticize my comments or to help me? No, you are not helping me by criticizing my comments. Just shut up and get back to work.
Match Report
Bjoerring stars in 4-0 drubbing of Squanoer.
Following an energetic opening, the home fans were incensed when Robin Bjoerring gave us the lead in the 26th minute. There was nothing bad about the Danish's slick finish– and nothing the Squanoer goalkeeper, Gambetain, could have done to stop it – but it was preceded by a strong penalty appeal at the other end. The Squanoer striker Llaumerrand appeared to be bundled over by our Indian defender Nadih but the referee dismissed his claims. And as if to prove that even the to-be-penalty couldn't stop us, Bjoerring extended our lead to 2-0 in the 44th minute when he received a pass from Ernesville, stylishly evaded his mark, and smashed it past the opposing captain. Up until now, barring the penalty call, the Squanoer players hadn't got a single shot on Xoeller. After half time though, they came firing on all cylinders. But Xoeller denied them whenever our defence couldn't. But pretty soon, Valdrusen capitalized on a loose ball, after Bjoerring tried an impossible chip, and was free to tap it in. 3-0. We were down to the closing stages of the match. About four or five minutes left, but Bjoerring just didn't stop. Aartmen picked up the ball from the defender, whipped it in to help Bjoerring get his first ever hat-trick this season. I was furious when Djourou whacked the ball right into Steve's groin, but the referee brushed it off as an "accident". Maybe that's why Arsenal let go of him. For being such a bad sport.

Ha. Djourou, my butt crack. I thought he'd put up more of a challenge, but we breezed through him and his team. Anyhoo, next up we're facing Sarmtonburg. And I just realized that Scabby is more of a left-back, even though he plays over the entire stretch of both the wings. So I'm bringing him on as right back. Also got Rexoe in to give Valdrusen a break. And CJ, who's become my second choice keeper, is replacing Xoeller.
Match Report
The Red Rebels extend their win streak to 10 after defeating Sarmtonburg, not having lost a single game in the League now.
We started off with utter confusion in the midfield. Ernesville was looking out of sorts, his passes going astray. But Aartmen quickly put an end to that, by weaving through their defence, and smashing the ball past the Sarmtonburg keeper, for his first ever FCUM goal. Sixteen minutes in, and we're already one up. But the confusion in the field was back soon. We maintained a good deal of possession, but we'd lose the ball in the midfield area and then get it back again, quickly. Aartmen had a second attempt at goal, but it just whizzed past the post. Our defence was solid, though. Nadih and Jespurmann have been in top form of late. Intercepting passes, putting up a high defensive line when needed, setting up the offside trap and so on. Just before half time, as has become our 'trademark' of late, so to say, Rexoe extended our lead by what looked like a lobbed header, if there is such a thing. We were 2-0 up at half time, and we maintained about 60% possession already. A season first. I told the guys to play it a bit more defensively, but it's not like they'd listen to me. Scabby, ran up the right flank, and crossed the ball in, where Bjoerring met it with his header. The keeper should have saved it, but his fumble's our gain I suppose. 3-0, our favour. Ten minutes later, our defence was caught napping. Xabeutt ghosted his way into our penalty box and shot, but it came off the post, and Grosserimm was free to tap it into an empty goal. 3-1. Rexoe had his second attempt at goal in the dying minutes of the match, but it just missed the mark. Final score, 3-1.

Dominant. That is how I'd describe us in this league. If we can keep this up, we're bound to be promoted. Then again, the Premier League is a completely different story. Alrighty. We're up against Spanish side Quaztolla next. They languish at the bottom half of the table, currently at 17th. Jespurmann's resting so Mungeroyer will come on for him. Aartmen and Niellendner have fitness issues, so I've replaced them too. Let's go.
Match Report
FCUM rise to comfortably see off Quaztolla
The Danish striker was once again the shining light in a one-sided game where we demonstrated our superior squad strength to earn another consecutive win. Our start was poor, I'll admit, but all the confusion subsided once Bjoerring made his mark in the 14th minute. A slick one-two with Valdrusen, followed by an equally slick finish, gave us an early lead in the game. On the other side of the field, our defence, led by Nadih, was rock-like. We had about three to four shots on target at the end of the first half, but the Spanish side, were not able to get a single shot at CJ. A quiet half for him. Our second half started off poorly, again. Ernesville and Ihgurup looked out of place, and couldn't connect with the others properly. Ihgurup could be excused, considering he was playing as an LMF, as opposed to his more usual, defensive LB role. Hervas' attempts to help out with both attack as well as defence, bore no fruit. But pretty soon, our star pair up front executed another one-two to perfection after which Bjoerring's pass to Laasrahe was easily converted. 2-0[/b]. I quickly brought in Niellendner for Ernesville, and this seemed to energize the rest of the squad, because they started to pass and create plays better. Quaztolla's sole striker, De Pachuqui tried his best to bring his side back into the game, and came very close once as he tried to chip the ball over CJ. But luckily for us, it hit the crossbar and fell into CJ's hands. And thus ended another dominating performance for us, the Red Rebels, in the league.

Bjoerring. What a player! Pity he's quite old. And pity I'll have to look for his replacement at the end of the season. Oh well, all good things come to an end. Hopefully not our streak, though. Because we are travelling to Nortovka for our last game this month. And they're quite strong actually. Even though they lost their first couple of games, they've climbed up the table to 8th. Let's hope we can send them back down again, eh?
Match Report
FCUM salvage one point from powerful Dutch team, FC Nortovka.
Let me be blunt here. We were woefully off the pace for the opening hour and looked on course for defeat after Markus Felikhtsko's fine solo effort in the 32nd minute helped Nortovka balance the scales again. We were ahead through Bjoerring 30 minutes after kick-off, courtesy of a neat, swiveled finish as he latched onto Niellendner's knock-down to fire home past the Nortovka keeper, Jorgamendez. And immediately, we were caught off guard and Felikhtsko dribbled past our defenders, with ease, slotting the ball past CJ for the equalizer. But the rest of the half saw the ball being quickly exchanged and re-exchanged in the midfield, and not travelling to either team's penalty area. The second half started and we successfully kept their strikers contained at goal, whereas our midfield was pure havoc. I felt an odd sense of déjà-vu, looking at the midfield. It looked oddly like our first couple of matches at the start of this season. 60 minutes in, and I replaced Dorskov with Utrehes. It was played at a frenetic pace thereafter, with Nortovka having the best of the possession despite not threatening CJ's goal any further. Noel Valdrusen almost put us back on top, but his header crashed back off the post twenty minutes from the break. Nortovka hit back through Felikhtsko,when he shimmied well inside the area, before shooting straight at CJ as both sides pressed for the winner. Bjoerring's fierce drive was saved by Jorgamendez two minutes from time, and the match ended as the spoils were shared.
Spoiler:Match Images
Match Stats
Bjoerring definitely gets the Player of the Month award, for November. Nadih and Xoeller were close seconds, though. We have a tough matchup ahead, so I'll see you all next month. Until then, goodbye.

FC United of Manchester - Rise to Greatness
Chapter 8 - A Quick Review
We're getting closer to the mid-season transfer window. I've compiled a report on each one of our players. I'd like some opinions from you guys as to where and how to strengthen my squad and/or let go of some players, if needed. First off, here's the entire squad list in our team.
And these are our current tactics. Again, I'd be more than happy to listen to your comments on them and change them, if need be.
Here are my reports on each member in the squad.
Alexander Xoeller
My first choice keeper. Has proven himself worthy of the starting spot, time and again over his counterpart, Cjaestvela. Even though he's old, he's still made some great saves and kept some great clean sheets. But, I might have to look at a replacement keeper soon, as I'm not sure he would be able to handle the strike force of the Premiership at his age.
Andreas Cjaestvela
Appears to have been the previous manager's first choice as he has the No. 1 shirt, but has fallen down the pecking order, partly due to Xoeller's great form. Another ageing keeper, means I'll have to bring in someone else to take his place.
Rasmus Hedreyer
Has played a grand total of one match up until now. Isn't too bad, but I don't reckon he can make it.
Lukas Jespurmann
Captain of the team. Leads well by example (barring the 'pain' he felt during the first couple of months) and is able to rally his troops well to hold up our own against the opposition strikers. But I might have to look for a backup for him, as he, too, is in his thirties.
Kumar Nadih
Vice-Captain of the team. I bought him this summer and he has immediately claimed the starting spot next to Jespurmann. Has proven to be a great leader in the absence of Jespurmann, despite being the youngest in the squad. At this rate, I reckon he'd go on to be one of the world's greatest.
Bruno Mungeroyer
A second choice defender, but has provided some valuable minutes off the bench, coming in at the CB position. Is a bit too old to be a second choice for some more time, and I'm expecting him to hand in his retirement letter soon.
Felipe Ardense
One of the more lazier defenders I've got. But has proven himself when defending corners as he has more than decent aerial strength. Around the same age as Mungeroyer, so it looks like defense is a priority for us.
Noah Thorsarzen
Hasn't really fit into my plans, to be honest. A young lad, but I don't see him coming up the order to play some minutes, as he appears to be quite weak. Considering letting him go, but I might have to hold on to him for a backup to my backups. Not really sure, at the moment.
Aleksi Scaborausen
A young lad, with a lot of years left in him. Has recently been called up to the Finland National Team, and is the only international in our team. His versatility is of a great advantage to us, as he is able to play along both flanks as well as in the centre of the field. He plays best at his natural position, Left Back.
Ivan Paskbin
Older than Scabby, but has proven to be a great second choice. In fact he has featured in the LB position more than Scabby. Is quite solid at defending and can run up the flank when needed.
Martin Grunsberg
Hasn't really featured very much in his natural position, due to the competition between Scabby and Paskbin. But he has been a decent backup for Laasrahe at the LM role. But being so young, I reckon he could take over the ageing Paskbin's position in the squad soon enough.
Christian Orsrabbe
A solid Right Back. Unfortunately, he hasn't featured in as many games as he would like due to fitness and form issues. But, he could make more appearances for the club pretty soon. Has great balance, and some decent speed. Is one of the younger players in the squad, so he has got the potential to be a great full-back.
Anders Ihgurup
Another young, but solid RB. He can play at any position along the left flank. He has got great speed and stamina and some decent ball control. Provides more depth to the RB position.
Franco Hervas
Much like Nadih, this summer signing has proven himself worthy of a place in the starting XI. Is very solid at the defensive view, but can and will get into attacking positions when required. A young lad, with great ball handling skills, speed, strength and stamina, he can become a great playmaker.
Emil Utrehes
Another young DMF, his work rate is exceptional. He doesn't get tired easily and looks determined when on the pitch. Has proven to be an ideal backup to Hervas.
Frederik Dorskov
This ageing midfielder has taken the other two under his wing and mentored them off the field. Has great work rate as well, and he is looking more and more like a great youth team coach. I am considering making him a player-coach for the youth team next season, is he continues playing.
Oliver Njurken
Has not played a single match up until now, mainly due to the fact that we do not use players in his position in our squad.
Peter Zeunbiger
Another ageing CMF, he also hasn't featured in any games now, partly because of the lack of CMF's in our tactics, and partly because he appears to be quite weak.
Oskar Aartmen
Another gem acquired by me in the summer, he too has claimed his place in the starting eleven. Overall a very good LMF and looks to be one of the future stars of football.
Noel Valdrusen
I might have left this bit out earlier, but yes, Valdrusen is actually a Left Midfielder. Even then he has been exceptional at the SS role, providing valuable assists and goals and linking up well with Bjoerring. But being as old as he is now, I might have to look for both LMF as well as SS players, sooner rather than later.
Daniel Laasrahe
Even though he has been in fine form this season, I will definitely have to look to bring in players to fill his role in at the RMF as he is the only one at the position in our squad right now, and is also quite old.
James Niellendner
The last of the four youngsters bought in at the start of the season, he too has claimed the starting spot as his own. His one-touch pass ability allows him to create some great plays up front. He too has shown some leadership qualities, and therefore is an ideal third captain, backup to Nadih.
Barry Ernesville
A little older than his English counterpart, this Irish playmaker plays very well when he comes on as a substitute. But he looks very out of depth when started, and loses his concentration quickly. Being the Super-Sub he is, I may have to search for more AMF's.
Robin Bjoerring
The jewel of our team, this striker has played excellently up front so far. But this may very well be the last time he plays that well, as he looks to be in decline.
Julien Flausgaard
This young striker has had very little match opportunities but in those matches that he has played, he has proven himself to be an apt second choice for Bjoerring, netting in both the matches.
Johan Rexoe
Surprise, surprise. Rexoe's natural position is the LWF, but he has been great as an SS too, which is quite similar to the Wing Forward position. He will definitely take over from Valdrusen, but I will need to look for a backup for him.
Tobias Kraglixen
Naturally an RWF, Kraglixen has made one appearance as a CF, but I am considering letting him go as well, to bring on some fresh talent.

Apologies for the long post. So what I need from you guys is simple.
1. Should I change my tactics? If yes, how?
2. Should I let go of anyone in this transfer window? If yes, whom?
3. Should I buy/loan anyone to strengthen my squad? If yes, which position? Any player suggestions are also welcome.
Hope you take the time to read this update and enjoy it.
Let me know how to make it better, and I will.

Power, gas groups press for Dodd-Frank delay
By Ben Geman - 09/26/12 04:48 PM ET
Trade groups for power companies and natural-gas suppliers are pressing the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to delay their industries' compliance with reforms required under the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, warning that higher energy costs could result unless the leeway is provided.
Three groups, in a detailed request to the CFTC, say more time is needed to adhere to the web of new controls on sprawling derivatives trading markets, which were seen as part of the reason the financial sector destabilized ahead of the 2008 economic crisis.
"Careful and deliberate implementation is ... necessary so that uncertainty as to rules and regulations does not inadvertently disrupt the liquidity of the derivatives markets and the delivery of wholesale, non-financial commodities related to electric and gas operations, both of which could result in higher prices for consumers and commodity market participants," states the Sept. 24 filing from the Edison Electric Institute, the American Gas Association and the Electric Power Supply Association.
The Dodd-Frank law required a series of rules such as new position limits on trading in commodity markets; new reporting and margin requirements; clearer definitions of certain types of trading and market participants; and a number of others.
A number of rules have been finalized while others are pending.
With some compliance dates looming in October, the filing notes that the groups need more time to prepare for compliance with new and "still uncertain" record-keeping requirements, determine their status under the rules and make other preparations.
The letter to the CFTC asks the regulators to defer compliance for "energy market participants" for a year after all the rules are finalized.
"The rules are so interrelated that we are asking for a period of a year after the final rule is issued so that we can have a comprehensive look at all the rules and regulations that apply to us, so that we can develop a comprehensive compliance program," said Lopa Parikh, the director of federal regulatory affairs for the Edison Electric Institute, which represents for-profit power companies.
Energy trade groups have long expressed concern that their members using trading markets as a necessary hedge against price swings could be harmed by rules designed to prevent the kind of freewheeling, risky Wall Street trading that helped destabilize financial firms several years ago

Stifel discusses Investor Meeting takeaways -- absent successful innovation, firm anticipates decelerating sales growth to worsen (83.78)
Stifel notes that relative to heightened expectations, there was little meaningful new news at the Investor Day they note initial FY14 guidance ~in-line with consensus. GMCR outlined plans to launch four new brewer platforms over the next several years, including a new coffee system that will accept K-Cups and Vue packs, a cold beverage system producing carbonated and still beverages [SODA], a water system, and an as-of-yet unspecified specialty system. The co did not announce new branded or private label coffee partnerships or make a definitive statement on whether it would attempt to re-close the K-Cup system preventing unlicensed brands from being used in brewers. Absent successful innovation, they anticipate decelerating sales growth to worsen; Sell.
They must be short!... Or Stupid!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
all your calls are worthless.
Always wrong Mark #$%$ at it again...this guy put out a sell at $17/share last year. What a dope...

Billy Dib Eyes Gary Russell Jr. Showdown in America
By Adrian Warren
IBF featherweight champion Billy Dib is aiming at fighting unbeaten American Gary Russell in the United States, following a Friday the 13th that proved anything but unlucky for Australian boxing.
Inside the ropes, four Australian fighters each had a significant win.
Dib and potential opponent Joel Brunker won gruelling fights against tough Mexicans in Sydney while in Melbourne, Australian women's boxing enjoyed surely its greatest night yet, with Susie Ramadan winning the WBC bantamweight title and Lauryn Eagle taking the vacant WBF super bantamweight strap.
Outside the ring, Anthony Mundine earned rounds of applause and words of praise for apologising in Las Vegas for any heartache his comments about the 9/11 terrorist attacks caused.
While Mundine can keep the momentum going in his American debut against former WBO light middleweight king Bronko McKart on Sunday (AEST), the other four fighters can reflect on a job well done.
Dib suffered cuts around both eyes and took some solid shots form Juan Antonio Rodriguez on his way to earning a unanimous 10-round points decision in a super featherweight contest.
Next up could be a fight in America against Russell (20-0, 12 KOs).
"With these cuts now I don't know exactly when its going to happen, but its a serious possibility," Dib told AAP.
He heads to Dubai this weekend to spend some time with Britain's former IBF and WBO featherweight world champion Naseem Hamed.
Brunker, the No.3 ranked WBO featherweight, kept his prospects of a fight with Dib alive by outpointing Edgar Riovalle over eight rounds.
In Melbourne, Ramadan became only the second Australian woman to win a WBC title, deposing Thailand's Usanakorn Kokietgym with a unanimous 10-round points win.
"She (Ramadan) took some big shots and she just rallied back, totally outsmarted her," Ramadan's trainer Barry Michael said.
Michael also helped prepare Eagle, who added boxing substance to her out of ring celebrity style by winning her title with a fifth round stoppage of Thailand's Kiangsak Sithsaithong.
"She (Eagle) has improved so much, we've changed her style totally, she's got a full kit of punches now," Michael said.

Nazi exploitation, also called Nazisploitation, is a World War II film genre produced mostly in Italy between 1975 and 1980. It is an offshoot of the violent "roughie" exploitation genre of the '60s and the later Women in Prison films (see that entry for more information).
In these lurid, low-budget features, female prisoners held in brutal Nazi-run brothels or concentration camps are sexually abused, punished, forced into slave labor or used for horrific medical experiments. Filmmakers such as Jess Franco and Sergio Garrone freely exploited well-known stories of Nazi atrocities as an excuse to wallow in every type of shocking and degrading misogynistic fantasy imaginable.
All of these films carry an underlying theme of dominance and submission, with sexually perverse commandants (and dominatrix-like female SS officers) indulging in cruel S&M scenarios that had never been seen in mainstream films.
With the harsh prison camp setting and the evil Nazis as villains, it was possible to depict all sorts of barbaric punishments, whippings, beatings, humiliations, bondage, sexual slavery, and so on.
The first true Nazisploitation film was Love Camp 7 (1968), an obscure grindhouse feature with lots of nudity, forced prostitution, simulated rough sex, and an intense and explicit belt-spanking scene. It was not until 1974 with the release of the surprise hit Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS that the genre took hold. Ilsa, about a queen-bitch SS dominatrix, spawned three sequels and dozens of imitators such as She Wolf of Spilberg (1979).
Some of the more notable films with fetishistic whippings include: SS Experiment Camp (aka SS Experiment Love Camp), SS Girls (1977), SS Extermination Camp, aka Women's Camp 119, et al. (1977), Gestapo's Last Orgy (aka Caligula Reincarnated as Hitler), and Achtung! The Desert Tigers (1977).
Porn and fetish films
Around the same time the pornography industry made several films combining rough sex and S&M such as the Mitchell brothers' Hot Nazis, Nazi Love Island (aka Prisoner of Paradise) with John Holmes and Seka, Hitler's Harlot and Stalag 69 (1982), which was largely a hardcore remake of Love Camp 7.
Nazi Sexperiments, from Alpha Blue Archives), is a compilation of scenes from 1970s Nazi-porn films and trailers including Torture of a Slave, Hitler's Harlot, The Traitress, et al.
Today, a few BDSM film producers have revived the genre. These include: Mood Pictures' Gestapo series and Dr. Mengele, Whipped Women, and Pain4fem.

By RICHARD L. BERKE
Published: October 6, 1997
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5— The White House today released a videotape showing President Clinton greeting potential donors at 44 coffees before the 1996 election. And Republicans seized on the tape to accuse Attorney General Janet Reno of acting too hastily on Friday in clearing Mr. Clinton of several allegations of campaign finance abuse.
While charges and countercharges over fund-raising practices have preoccupied the capital all year, the tape offers the first public glimpse of the private world of White House gatherings, where Mr. Clinton's mingling with wealthy donors was a crucial element of his re-election strategy.
Among the scenes in the 90-minute sampler of the coffees is an event held on May 1, 1996, in the Oval Office. Its disclosure represented the first time the White House has acknowledged that a coffee had been held in the President's official work space, where Federal law appears to limit fund-raising activity.
The White House has insisted that the coffees were not fund-raising events. But an excerpt from another tape suggested that some donors believed otherwise. At a coffee in the White House Map Room on Dec. 13, 1995, Donald L. Fowler, the Democratic Party's national chairman then, is heard refusing an offer of five checks from an unidentified donor as Mr. Clinton chatted about golf with another guest. [Page A15.]
In declining the checks, Mr. Fowler made a reference to lawyers and said: ''As soon as this thing is over, I'll call you. I'm sorry, I can't take this. I apologize to you, and we'll get it done.''
An excerpt from June 18, 1996, shows Mr. Clinton shaking hands with John Huang, the fund-raiser who brought guests to many coffees and who has been accused of helping foreigners make illegal donations to the Democrats. No sound was provided for that segment.
Another scene is of the President shaking hands with Roger Tamraz, an international oil financier who testified that he had hoped his donations would give him access. ''Good to see you again,'' Mr. Clinton said to Mr. Tamraz.
White House officials released the tape today after the disclosure of their existence by Time magazine. The officials said the tape of the scenes at the start of the coffees was a compilation of excerpts drawn from hours of videos made at White House events. They did not explain how they chose the portions of the tapes that they released to the investigators and to the press.
The officials insisted that the tape showed no improper conduct by the President or others at the White House. They were recorded by White House television crews from Aug. 3, 1995, to Aug. 23, 1996.
''Holding this type of event was legal and appropriate,'' said Lanny J. Davis, a White House special counsel. ''There is no suggestion that there was any solicitation for money.''
Mr. Davis said the coffees had been held to introduce the supporters to the President. Any contributions that followed -- and several people wrote large checks -- were incidental to the events, he said.
No matter the content, the tape gave Republicans a way to keep alive the questions surrounding Mr. Clinton's fund-raising practices. Speaking out for the first time since Ms. Reno's announcement on Friday that she would not expand her inquiry into whether a independent prosecutor was needed to investigate Mr. Clinton, leading Republicans said today that the Attorney General's move was premature. Republicans also questioned why the tape had not been turned over when the White House was first asked to turn over all records related to fund-raising in the 1996 campaign.
''That's information that we should have gotten from our subpoenas in the first place,'' said Representative Dan Burton, Republican of Indiana, who is convening the House hearings this week on campaign finance. ''And we didn't even know about them. And that really bothers me.''
Speaking on ''Fox News Sunday,'' Mr. Burton said of the tapes, ''We want them all.'' He accused Ms. Reno of shielding the White House.
The existence of the tape led Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican, to depart from his usual defense of the Attorney General. ''I have always voiced my respect and admiration for the Attorney General of the United States,'' he said on the CBS News program ''Face the Nation.'' ''But I think that we are now reaching a point where her credibility is in real serious danger, and it's going to lend additional pressure to bring her to the point where she appoints an independent counsel.''
White House officials were unable to explain why Presidential aides notified Senate staff members who are investigating campaign finance practices about the tape on Wednesday but waited three days, until Saturday, to alert officials at the Justice Department. Ms. Reno was facing a legal deadline of Friday, by which time she had to decide whether to expand her investigation.
White House officials acknowledged that the tape appears to be highly relevant to Ms. Reno's decision. Moreover, officials said, senior White House legal aides including Charles F. C. Ruff, the White House counsel, knew of the tape by Wednesday, but the former prosecutor failed to notify the Justice Department.

Beverley Knight
Adele and Amy Winehouse are superb soul singers but the UK music industry seems incapable of breaking equivalent black talent. Beverley Knight stands out as one of the few black UK soul singers with any sort of exposure, notching up middling chart success with seven albums, the latest of which is a tribute to the neglected stars of British soul.
Covers range from Heatwave's 1977 slow jam "Always and Forever" to 1980s/90s hits by Omar and Roachford, sung impeccably by Knight – too impeccably, really; a bit of risk-taking would have been welcome. But the lack of opportunity for black British soul singers doesn't encourage risk-taking.

idea is great; and so is the execution as well!!! thats what advertising should look like.... love all of them
"Pass by" seems like a pun on "bypass", no? Very appropriate for a car clinic :P
Well, it's better than "drive by" :D
The concept is not bad, it should not be seen by the front mirror, I think it looks better in the rearview mirror
Got a problem folks. It's with a car company. One that sells cars to people. And then tells them it's a problem. Car's not the problem. Drivers who forget are the problem. Logic fail.

David de Gea made a terrific stop in the dying seconds to deny Chelsea a famous win after Rafael Benitez's side came roaring back to earn a 2-2 draw with Manchester United in the FA Cup sixth round at Old Trafford.
United had moved two goals clear and apparently on the cusp of a spot in the semi-finals when Javier Hernandez headed home on five minutes with Wayne Rooney - restored to Sir Alex Ferguson's starting line-up after his omission from the Champions League defeat to Real Madrid - finding the net with a free-kick six minutes later as Chelsea's defence was again found wanting.
Chelsea were rocking, but the mood of the match changed when Benitez introduced Eden Hazard for Victor Moses on 52 minutes.
The visiting side suddenly began to revel in large dollops of possession and with Juan Mata playing at his very peak, Chelsea restored parity courtesy of exceptional goals by Hazard (59) and Ramires (68).
The outgoing Champions League holders probably deserved the win and would have departed Manchester with it if De Gea hadn't thrown out a boot to deflect a Mata shot wide after his fellow Spaniard had left Jonny Evans for dead deep inside the United box.
The semi-final draw was not overly kind to either side. The winner of this match face fellow Premier League heavyweights Manchester City in the last four at Wembley next month while Wigan meet Blackburn or Millwall, who drew 0-0 earlier in the day and replay on Wednesday night.
There is no fixed date pencilled in for the Chelsea-United replay at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea were trying to gather their senses when they fell behind early on as Hernandez nodded over Petr Cech from Michael Carrick's delightful ball over the top.
United moved two to the good when Rooney's free-kick somehow eluded a crowded box before nestling in the corner of the net as Chelsea were made to pay for some more slipshod defending.
Mata showed his class for the first time when he set up Frank Lampard on 23 minutes, but the England midfielder could only scoop a shot straight into the arms of De Gea.
United teetered on the brink of a third goal before the break as Hernandez flicked Nani's cross wide with Cech producing two magnificent stops to save from Rooney and then prevent David Luiz from scoring a headed own goal as he swiped the ball over his bar.
United's prospects were not helped when the injured Nani hobbled out of the action to be replaced by Antonio Valencia seconds before half-time, but Chelsea were a different proposition in the second period and appeared to come to life when John Obi Mikel replaced Lampard with Hazard taking over from Moses.
Mata played provider for Hazard to net from just inside the United box as the Belgian took one touch before curling the ball high into the net beyond De Gea.
With United being forced further and further back, Chelsea equalised when Luiz broke up a home attack before Chelsea bounded to the other end. Demba Ba released Ramires on the run and he planted a crisp shot beyond the diving De Gea.
Chelsea could easily have won it in the death throes of the match, but De Gea's goal would not be breached for a third time as the keeper made another save from a blistering Hazard hit moments after he had somehow prevented Mata from sinking the winner.
Rio Ferdinand was also fortunate to avoid a red card late in the match when he clearly felled substitute Fernando Torres off the ball that would surely have prompted stern action by referee Howard Webb if he had witnessed the home defender's shenanigans. Ferdinand, like the rest of the United side, cut a frustrated figure as Chelsea mounted their recovery.
Juan Mata (Chelsea): An exceptional performance by the little Spanish midfielder, who probably deserved to be on the winning side such was his appetite to help his side recover.
MAN UTD: De Gea 8, Rafael 7, Ferdinand 7, Evans 7, Evra 7, Carrick 6, Cleverley 6, Nani 5, Rooney 7, Kagawa 6, Hernandez 6. Subs: Van Persie 6, Valencia 6, Welbeck 6.
CHELSEA: Cech 7, Azpilicueta 6, Luiz 8, Cahill 7, Cole 6, Ramires 8, Lampard 5, Mata 9, Oscar 7, Moses 5, Ba 7. Subs: Mikel 7, Hazard 8, Torres 6.

An interesting article about the plight of the club
The thing that always makes me titter is that the Wenger hate mob always talk of 'selling our stars', as though Arsenal could have possibly kept the examples given of Fabregas and Van Persie and even Nasri.
ALL those three WANTED to leave the club.
Fabregas was linked to Barca for YEARS before the club finally gave up on him. Nasri wanted the BIG earner that ONLY the likes of City could offer, and RVP stated his move had nothing to do with money, because he was supposedly offered an extremely lucrative deal by Arsenal.
How does that add up to Arsenal supposedly selling 'stars' for financial gain over on the field success?
Should Arsenal have FORCED these guys to stay????
Dear oh dear oh dear.
Surely it is a reasonable assumption that IF these three players had actually been available to play a bit more often (at Arsenal), rather than layed out in the treatment room, Arsenal would have fared better during those years. Arsenal were never that far off the pace, after all and these 'stars' are a cut above the average Prem players.
That's a fair point Fab and I don't think any reasonable fan would argue too long with that. Having said that it the reason that these players want to go that can not be ignored.
Do you believe RVP would have left if we just won our 3rd PL title last season out of the last 9 years? Do you think Cesc would have been as eager too leave if we had done a double PL & CL and were considered the best team in Europe?
Like it or not, agree on the reasons or not, our club has obviously gone into a conservative business model - maximize profits minimize debt -first and trophy ambition second, mode resulting in us likely not winning any real trophies (PL or CL) for a 10 year period. To me it this phenomena that makes it hard to hang on to players good enough to be either ambitious in a sporting sense or financially.
Recruitment and player retention for top clubs who can both pay top salary and win trophies more often than not (Real, Man U, Chelsea, Barca, Bayern, Milan, City(?)) is a lot easier than for the rest of us. It takes most of us more than 10 years to get used to the fact that we no longer compete for trophies or for the best and highest paid players because of our wage structure. We, and I count myself amongst those, who want to win trophies have to leave the past the past and get used to the fact that that simply is not who we are any longer as a club. Sure freaks happen in the CL and some times smaller teams can win this cup, but more often than not the best teams are the one's fighting for the CL.
Some times I even delude myself, hoping and dreaming that we some how will bring in the players who can carry us back to the top and when we, predictably don't bring in these players, and when we fail to sign proper replacement players for the the likes of Cesc and RVP etc, I get angry with Wenger.
The club would do well and help fans like me, to stop coming out each season claiming to expect to win the PL. They would do me a favor by just saying: "fans we are going to aim to try to be the best of the rest because we can neither pay nor afford the best players making winning major trophies a very long shot."
You didn't hear Spurs talking about winning or competing for the PL, neither should we.

I called them and they said they didn't have the right one so it appeared they shipped another one WITHOUT consulting me. The board ordered was a rocker and the one shipped was flat. Two fundamentally different boards. They offered to give me $50.00 off and I told him it wouldn't matter if it was free, it's the wrong type of board. They offered no other solution but money back. They said they'd send a shipping label and, two weeks later, said they didn't send one because I'm in Canada. They knew that when I was talking to them AND they never called back to say they weren't sending one.
I'm now out $414.00 plus $23.00 brokerage and now must ship at my expense and HOPE they finally refund my payment.
They have no customer service and list no real contact information on their site. A pretty seedy operation in my books. They promise a lot on their site, but deliver very little.

Their trainers are all being exploited beyond belief, as they are only being paid $6 a session to train clients.

Good day/evening.
I was wondering how can I see how much a building produce (coins) once after I convert it? Because there seems to be missing in the building info

Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated.
