Corset Strap-On Harness
Product Description
The first ever corset strap-on harness on the market - much copied but never surpassed!
Handmade in the Sh! Studio, this stunning leather strap on has a shapely corset back, with lacing and it looks amazing on. The shape flatters your body and it feels sensual, secure and incredibly comfortable in use. Beyond looking ultra sexy, the corset back also acts as extra support, so it always feel balanced even with larger dildos.
It features a front panel, which holds the dildo against your pubic mound. The dildo ring is interchangeable and we supply 3 different sized rings so you can use all sizes of dildos. With the dildo held directly against you, the connection feels close and stimulation from its base is immediate. Team it with a vibrating dildo and the sensations will pleasure both of you...
Two back leg straps meet the waistband in the small of the back whilst the front leg straps attach at the hips. This makes the harness very comfortable to wear and, as the straps divide between your legs, you're accessible to receiving pleasure whilst wearing it - it's not necessary to whip off the corset harness for you to get some action!
Made from supple leather, it fastens/ pulls tight through double D-rings which lie flat against the shaped waistband. This means you can comfortably and discreetly wear it under your clothing and, in use, it won't pinch or bruise, like a harness with buckles or clasps can.
The corset harness is compatible with a Dual-Dildo Accessory which holds a dildo or butt plug to provide penetrative pleasure for the harness-wearer too - a win-win situation for all!
Care and Cleaning: Gently rub clean with a fresh, soapy cloth, rinse/wipe and air dry. Don't machine wash. Don't dry near direct heat. Don't store in an air-tight container - your harness must be allowed to breathe!

Product Reviews
Amazing by Dave
Price Recomend Value Quality
My wife has found this amazingly comfortable and so easy to use. It looks fantastic on her and she feels pressure in all the right places when she is pegging me and is easily able to reach orgasm.
We have also found that as the SH team advised, I am able to wear it above my chastity device to use on her. This is a wonderful twist in our marriage and we are so glad that we went for a good quality harness.
So pleased, thank you team SH xx (Posted on 20/10/2016)
Actually this is the best looking harness I have by Honeysuckle
Price Quality Value Recomend
The first thing I did was change the lacing on the corset. It was laced with a weird leather thingy. But this was easy to do otherwise the harness looked good in an esthetic point of view. Actually this is the best looking harness I have. The material was lovely (soft leather) although a bit hard to clean if you're messy. The buckles and the fit is good. And when I finally managed to get the larger dildo in place it felt sturdy in usage. I would recommend this product for a woman who wants a good looking harness (maybe the harness that you buy to use outside your bedroom) that is also quite functional. (Posted on 13/12/2014)

This harness is so comfortable and soft but extra strong! perfect! easy to use and clean. the corset looks sexy and you feel the rubbing ever slightly on the straps against your p***y which is an added bonus!

This was a truly great investment and I cannot recommend it highly enough by Garnetsnake
Price Quality Value Recomend
Aaah the joys of a truly excellent harness. This is the first harness I've found that doesn't bite into my hips - ladies, it's not pretty and it's not comfy either - and as a lady with curves this is important to me. It's also unbelievably comfortable and probably one of the sexiest things I own. You will look great, you will feel great and I should imagine that your partner of choice will be feeling pretty great too. This was a truly great investment and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This is the sexiest harness ever! It's made of the softest, sexiest leather which moulds easily to your shape and flatters your curves, and it is totally comfortable to wear. I have a black one but now I want one in that sexy sugar pink too! (Posted on 13/12/2014)

My wife and I have been using strap ons for 30 yrs and we just wish we'd known about you sooner. The lovely thing was that everything was wrapped in pink paper it made us feel that we weren't dealing with some smut company (oh and that it really worked). Style is all. The one we bought is fab. Thank you. (Posted on 13/12/2014)
The colour is vibrant and sophisticated, ( I thought red might look tacky but it doesn't) by Fluffy
Price Quality Value Recomend
WOW!!!!!!! This is to die for! Get yours today!It exceeded expectations. It is soooo pretty and sexy on. I sent a rear view pic to my man who was at work and he said he nearly fell off his chair! The site picture just does not do justice to it. It smellsdeliciously of leather.The colour is vibrant and sophisticated, ( I thought red might look tacky but it doesn't)The feel of the sumptuous leather iis like heavy satin. It is beautifully made, and feels substantial. They had to make one up for me but it arrived on the third day, so there was no wait. The straps are not too long, it feels comfortable, sturdy, looks stunning with a purple whirly girly dildo . My only slight disappointment is that it does not fit quite flush against me at the back at the sides. It needs me to have a slightly bigger waist to fill it out( I am 37+ hips and 26\'\' waist and have this\'gape\' trouble with jeans.) Have not yet had chance to try it out for real but it seems to hold dildo firmly. (Posted on 13/12/2014)
This colour it works fantastically as a virginal white by a
Price Quality Value Recomend
He Says: This is not a difficult product to review. It is an absolutely brilliant harness. As you can see for yourself, it is beautiful, and I love the contrast of the virginal white with the intended use. The leather is extremely soft and supple, allowing it to conform closely to Lucy's body. All the stitching and components ooze quality. Another fantastic aspect is that as it comes sized you avoid long dangling straps, and the corset back provides another method to control the size and fit. The small size means I am unable to wear the harness myself, which is a bit of a shame because I wonder whether the soft leather might help avoid the classic harness pinch problem for men. The Sh! corset harness provides good control for Lucy, holding decent sized dildos in place. The o-rings are interchangeable (it comes with 3 of differing sizes), but perhaps this harness isn't the best for a very weighty dildo, due to the softness of the leather. But the most disappointing thing about this harness for me is how low it sits on Lucy. This means that dildos almost point downwards, and there is nothing I love more than being confronted with an aggressively angled toy. I am willing to forgive this though, simply for the pure beauty and quality of this harness. If you want a harness that looks innocent and sensual, yet is capable of some very non-innocent action, then this would be a brilliant choice. She Says: One of the most important things for a good pegging experience is a well-fitted, secure and comfortable harness. I am pleased to report that this corset harness not only fulfils those requirements but goes over and above by being absolutely beautiful, which helps to set the scene in the bedroom (or wherever you might be!) and get you both in the mood. It is basically a sexy piece of lingerie with added extras. One of the worst features of a strap-on is it pulling away from the pubic region whilst you're thrusting, this happens with lots of lower quality harnesses and is thankfully not a feature of this product. As Alex has said, it comes in different sizes. Being a fairly small person myself I really appreciate this as often one-size-fits-all harnesses are very large on me and I end up with long straps hanging around and getting in the way. It's a quick and easy harness to put on as the large section at the back makes it obvious where the waist band is (sounds trivial but I easily get confused when having to decipher lots of straps that look the same), which makes impromptu pegging sessions more likely! You tighten the straps to your size by pulling the excess through the D-rings. I would say that this harness isn't the strongest we own, I doubt it would hold the largest of our dildo collection. But not everyone is a size-queen like Alex, and it would hold a huge variety of small to medium/large dildos. Because of the colouring it works particularly well with the Sh! Women's Cupid 3 dildo, and I'm sure would look fantastic with other quality silicone dildos from their range. As you can see, in this colour it works fantastically as a virginal white bridal harness set and made for a brilliant surprise for Alex, if anyone has got any forthcoming nuptuals (or just fancy some bridal themed play!) then I would highly recommend it. Unfortunately I don't have a girlfriend to test this product out for lesbian use, but I'm sure it would be well up to that task too. For the quality you get with this product, it is reasonably priced, especially when you compare it with similar products on the market. In conclusion, this corset harness is an absolutely beautiful product that is also extremely functional. I would recommend it to anyone wanting something pretty and girly to strap a dildo into!

Sex Tip For Corset Strap-On Harness
The laced back of the corset strapon is very 'Moulin Rouge' - dress up with stockings, heels and nipple tassles (plus your laced back harness of course...) for a kinky, burlesque evening - hotter than hot.
Product QuestionsQuestion by: Steve on 25 May 2016 15:54:00Hi Steve,
Thank you for getting in touch.
The Fun Factory Strapless Share is made to be used without a harness. We've tried it out and we won't recommend using the share with a harness.
It can be very uncomfortable for the wearer since it is not designed to go with any harness.
Having said that it will fit in the harness so technically you can use it with a harness but we wouldn't recommend it.
Do you live around London? If so we would like to invite you to come over to our shop in Hoxton Square to see it for yourself and play around with it a bit. :)
Also we are in the final stage of developing a Share dildo that can go with our harnesses. So we keep an eye on the website and wait for the launch of our new Share. :)
Hope this helps. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us.
Love, Team Sh! xx
Answer by: admin users (Admin) on 26 May 2016 10:26:00Hi
Would this harness be suitable for use by a man with a chastity device on? I wear a Holy Trainer V2 and wondered if the harness would hold a dildo high enough on my pubic region to allow the steps to pass around my own junk.
Many thanksQuestion by: Dave on 6 Oct 2016 22:18:00Hi Dave,
We believe you should be able to wear our Corset Back Harness with your chastity device if you rest the dildo higher up on your pubic region. The two strap are position will allow you to pass your genitals through.
We would advise going a size up with the harness in this incidence to give you more room and more freedom to to adjust the harness comfortably.
Love Team Sh! xxxAnswer by: admin users (Admin) on 7 Oct 2016 11:22:00Question by: Amanda on 7 Nov 2015 14:10:00Hi, yes the Corset Back Harness can go as small as you like but not over size EU/40
You may find you have lots of excess strap but this can be tied out of the way of cut off if needed. Just be sure to sew up the ends so they don't loose their stitching.
Love Team Sh! xx
Answer by: admin users (Admin) on 13 Nov 2015 11:19:00Question by: Jac on 18 May 2017 15:35:00Hi, thanks for your question.
The harness front has a thin strap across the top & the bottom. The leg straps are slipped underneath these straps to hold in the C-Ring & can be easily pulled out to change over the C-Ring.
It will be very clear when looking at the harness.
We hope this helps.
Answer by: admin users (Admin) on 19 May 2017 12:39:00Is the blue listed in the color options referring to the baby blue that is pictured? I have seen a dark navy blue version before and I want to be sure the blue option is not referring to that. Thanks!

I purchased these capris when I was working at Academy 2 1/2 years ago. I wear them all the time and they look the same as they did when I bought them. I have big thighs and always have issues with pants wearing down where my thighs rub together and these have stood up to the test. I just asked my mom to get me more since I no longer live near an Academy.
Love them I like the colors the fit and they look great
I was looking for some light weight pants for travel and saw the good reviews on these. I LOVE them!!! Bought a second pair already and wish they had other colors. I work in an athletic setting so can also wear these for work as well. They are "professional" in cut/style but feel amazing. The boot cut fit is nice, I have a curvy/athletic build and these are flattering even through hips/thighs. True to size. Worth the price!
Just bought my second pair of black size 4 short. I'm 5'2", 110 lb. The fit is flattering and comfortable. I washed the first pair about 15 times in warm or hot water, and now they are faded and a bit sloppy looking, so I'll wash this pair in cold water. Good stretch, pockets and drawstring, and I can roll up the legs (and they stay) for wading. I've worn them for hiking, air travel and out to dinner. If I can only take one pair, these would be good. My Prana brand pants seem more durable, but ... these are more lightweight and roll up better. They arrived in two days.
I have 7 pair. These are great pants. The material is a dream, holding up to tough activity and thousands of washes, never pilling, knees do not stretch out and color doesn't fade. And the price? Come on. It's a no brainer.
Best pants Ever! Can dress up or relax with them! Never stop selling these please! Great for all younger or older women!
Good fit. Very comfortable, stylish. Material washes good in the washer machine.
The pants fit well. The color was accurate. They arrived really quick.
I bought pair of these to wear around the house and then discovered I could pair with a cute long top and wear them to work. I still get compliments on them all the time. Ordered 3 more pair and now they're pretty much my "go to" pants for everything. Machine washable, good price, and comfy- please keep these pants in stock
Fits perfect, a bit long but I'm tall. I'm 5-9 around 175-180 I got a XL cause I like them a bit baggy but L would have also fit.
I ordered these online for a weekend hiking trip we had coming up. I was so excited when the came in and decided to wear them on a practice hike. I am so glad I decided to try them out before my trip because after a short morning hike they already had a hole in the leg. It appears that the seam came apart. The pants were very comfortable and I always but BCG brand but I am very sad that the quality of these pants is low. I hope to find time to return these and find something that will last through my trip.
Fit and comfort is excellent but these aren't very durable. Wore them one and then the got a hole in them the first time I washed them. Sad :/
They fit excellent and shipping was very fast. I am always pleased with Academy
I like adidas pants. I will to buy again. Thanks.A+++++
Have been wearing these for over three years now. Durable. Keep buying more as I exercise in them. Withstand washings very well. After a dryer spin dry, I hang on the line and the pants are dry in one hour in the shade...yes faster than an exoficio underwear! Light weight. Pack four pair in a travel bag for the size and weight of one pr of pants of another brand. Can't say enough good things about them. They are not "sexy" or tight fitting. Like the duo pockets. Wish the pockets were two inch ... deeper, but, am pleased.
As a dog groomer I need pants that dry quick and super comfy. These totally fit the bill! My coworker's went a bought a pair and love the heck out of them too!!
These are great! Especially for cold day runs. They run a little snug in the waist. Plan on getting a second pair.
So comfy and definitely warm! Love all my UA gear!
They are form fitting, but not where you will be worried if everyone can see all the flaws. They're very flattering! I have a big booty, and pretty muscular legs, and even then it's still flattering. Favorite! I do have to pull them up at times, but I probably should've ordered a size down. Regardless, they're perfect!
These are so comfortable and really cool, which is great for this summer heat. They're probably one of my favorite pair of leggings.
I bought a black pair and a grey pair of these pants. The black pair fit perfectly and the grey pair are huge! I could've definitely ordered a size smaller in the grey ones. They seem to be made of a more stretchy material. The black ones don't really stretch that much at all. They are both extremely comfortable!
I went out on a limb for these pants, for my neice and she loved them. Fit great looked great
I'm 5'1, 100 lbs, I ordered an extra small & they were way too big. Whenever I order stuff from online, it always comes in a really big fit even though the tags say small or extra small.
These were exactly what I was looking for as a light weight running/walking pant!!! Highly recommend!!
I am now the proud owner of 4 of the pants I bought from Academy. I literally wear them every day...............great quality, so very comfortable.
Bought these recently and the are so comfortable. I need more!
Ordered these pants online since nobody has ladies in store. Hands down best comfort pant since yogas! Love wearing them to work, all the pockets come in handy
The multiple pockets and overall quality are features I was looking for. Maybe should have ordered the tall, but they will be ok for athletic shoes.
These seem to overall run a little big, as I had to go down a size, but in the smaller size they are a perfect fit!
got this for christmas and i love it! im always freezing in my house and these are comforting to sleep in! the only thing is, i usually wake up bc my legs are sweating in the middle of the night lol so they probably work a little too good. they definitely keep me warm
My wife really enjoys the soft material that these are made of. They are form fitting and true to size. The tie on the front is cute.
I have had 2 pair of BCG running capri pants. They hold up great over time, and they are a great fit. Recommend!
I bought this in blue and in black. Both look sharp. The fit is snug but not tight and I like where the Capri pant ends on my legs. I am 5'10 and they fall a few inches comfortably below my knee.

And yes, they're "action figures" -- not "toys."
Each Friday we swap photos of Pop Candy readers' favorite action figures. Got some worth sharing? Send a pic to email@example.com, along with your name, city and a brief description.
Today we'll start with one of my favorites from Alexa F. "This week I found my old, tattered Batgirl doll from the '70s," she says. "Despite her age, she still has some zip!"
From Eric D.: "Attached is my favorite pop-culture action figure: My WWE Classic Superstars line Andy Kaufman action figure. I'm not a wrestling fan by any means, but when I saw it, there was no way I was passing it up! Plus, it has a neck brace and stretcher! What other action figure has those?"
Chris T. (Cristobal) sent some pics of his He-Man collection. "These are my He-Man toys from my childhood," he says. "I wish I still had them all! Mattel has released the Classic MOTU figures, which I have also enclosed a picture of. I am dying to open them and play with them."
Meredyth B. is a big fan of Doctor Who's fourth incarnation, Tom Baker. "I used this action figure to supplement the 40th birthday cake (TARDIS) for my boyfriend who adored this show as a child (and as an adult). Note the scarf -- what a stylish Doctor!"
She adds, "In a terrifying twist, this action figure came with another head (easily detached and reattached) in case you need to capture the many moods of the Doctor."
"I was in L.A. visiting my friend Andrew Dabb, who writes for Supernatural," says Pop reader Zack S. "In one ep he did, the character of Castiel (Mischa Collins) is briefly turned into an action figure. (The scene occurs at the 4:23 mark in this video.)"
He continues, "Apparently, Andrew's writing partner Dan Loflin visited the Supernatural set in Canada and got him the one-of-a-kind Castiel action figure as a gift! According to Andrew, this required a lot of paperwork on Dan's part. Lil' Cas now has a home on Andrew's table."
From Ben D. in Hamburg, N.Y.: "With the impending arrival of my second son a year ago, my office was taken apart to become a nursery. Most of the action figures went into storage, except for some key characters who went to my office at work to be displayed on a small shelf. I'm a middle school band teacher, and kids love popping into the office just to stare in awe."
From left to right: Dumbledore 2.0, Homer Simpson, Mad-Eye Moody, Spider-Man, John Locke, Batman, Hurley, Willy Wonka, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mr. Eko, Harry Potter, Jack Sparrow, Kermit the Frog, Jean-Luc Picard, Davy Jones, Fawkes the Phoenix, Sam Gamgee, Dumbledore 1.0 and Mickey Mouse as Indiana Jones. "All topped off with the Elder Wand," he says.
Finally, Matt H. sent a photo of his "action figure/bobblehead shelf in my cubicle at work. On the top row, I've got Iron Man and a Clone Trooper. Second row: Wolverine and our corporate mascot Turbo Tom. And across the bottom row, I've got Spock, a loon, a domino, a bison and everyone's favorite bounty hunter, Boba Fett."
Great selection this week, guys! Tune in next Friday for more fantastic figures!

Albin Countergambit, Lasker Trap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lasker Trap is a chess opening trap in the Albin Countergambit, named after Emanuel Lasker, although it was first noted by Serafino Dubois (Hooper & Whyld 1996, p. 219).[1] It is unusual in that it features an underpromotion as early as the seventh move.
|This article uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.
1. d4 d5 2. c4 e5
- The Albin Countergambit.
3. dxe5 d4
- The black pawn on d4 is stronger than it appears.
4. e3?
- Careless. Usual and better is 4.Nf3.
4... Bb4+ 5. Bd2 dxe3! (see diagram)
- Now White's best option is to accept doubled pawns with 6.fxe3.
6. Bxb4??
- Blundering into the Lasker Trap. In an 1899 consultation game in Moscow, Blumenfeld, Boyarkow, and Falk playing White against Lasker tried 6.Qa4+?, but Black wins after this move also. The game continued 6...Nc6 7.Bxb4 Qh4 8.Ne2 Qxf2+ 9.Kd1 Bg4 10.Nc3 0-0-0+ 11.Bd6 cxd6 12.e6 fxe6 13.Kc1 Nf6 14.b4 d5 15.b5 Ne5 16.cxd5 Nxd5 17.Qc2 Nb4 18.Nd1+ Nxc2 19.Nxf2 Rd2 White resigned. The Encyclopedia of Chess Openings (volume D) gives 6.fxe3 as the best move. Black gets a slight advantage, but White has avoided the worst and can defend.
6... exf2+
- Now 7.Kxf2 would lose the queen to 7...Qxd1, so White must play 7.Ke2.
7. Ke2 fxg1=N+! (see diagram)
- Underpromotion is the key to the trap. (If instead 7...fxg1=Q, then 8.Qxd8+ Kxd8 9.Rxg1 is okay for White.) Now 8.Rxg1 Bg4+ skewers White's queen, so the king must move again.
8. Ke1 Qh4+ 9. Kd2
9... Nc6
- White is hopelessly lost. After 10.Bc3, 10...Bg4 followed by 11...0-0-0+ is crushing.
See also[edit]
- ^ Hooper & Whyld 1996 say that Dubois pointed out the trap in 1872 (p. 219). Although they don't specify where Dubois published the trap, it could refer to the three-volume work on the openings that Dubois published from 1868 to 1873 (p.116). Elsewhere they state that the Albin Countergambit was not introduced until 1881 (p. 6), which seems to be a contradiction. It isn't clear if the trap discovery date 1872 should perhaps instead be 1882, or if 1881 was the tournament introduction of an opening that had been published in 1872 or earlier.

Holland Texas Rangers
October 24, 2011 by staff
Holland Texas Rangers, What Derek Holland's performance!
Texas Rangers with their final two games to one in the World Series, the left-hander 25 years old, led a two-hit shutout with seven strikeouts in the ninth inning against the Cardinals lineup powerful.
After a walk from one to Rafael Furcal, manager Ron Washington went to the mound to a long discussion with the Netherlands, who later said he was "begging" to finish the job.
It seemed that Washington could give the child a chance, but then stepped aside and said the bullpen for more Neftali Feliz, bringing boos from the crowd.
Holland greeted fans as he walked to the dugout. Happy retirement Albert Pujols with a fly to center field and struck out Matt Holliday with two to secure the 4-0 victory in Texas.
The World Series is tied at two games apiece and return to St. Louis for Game 6. Before that, Game 5 is Monday night in Texas.
Holland was still throwing 96 mph in the ninth inning with a chance in the first complete game in World Series white since Josh Beckett jewel of Florida to clinch the 2003 title at Yankee Stadium.
Rangers fans chanted the name of Holland.
Crowd roars as Holland launches a strike last third Lance Berkman to end the seventh inning.
Berkman did not like the call, but it certainly looked like a strike.
Holland, a 16-game winner during the regular season, is launching a gem. He walked two and needed less than 100 pitches to get through seven innings.
Nolan Ryan Holland applauded their approval as he leaves the mound with six shutout innings to his credit.
Curve of the Netherlands has been particularly effective. He got a double play ball in the fifth and Craig Allen struck a second time to end the sixth.
Somehow, St. Louis starter Edwin Jackson left behind only 1-0 despite six walks in 5 1-3 innings. The race took Josh Hamilton RBI double in the first.
However, the score changes quickly. Mike Napoli hit a three-run homer in the first release of Mitchell Boggs for the Rangers 4-0 in the sixth.
That call to the bullpen failed to Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, who has taken over splendid postseason. Jackson seemed finished after 109 pitches, but Boggs could not do the job.
Sooner or later, the Texas bats were forced to leave.
Napoli is the first receiver with two homers in a World Series since Mike Piazza in 2000.
Holland works quarter 1-2-3. Pujols grounded out to first, giving you 0 of 2 at night, and with the mouth "wow" as he walked back to the dugout. He may have thought he had good pitch to hit.

The Sedalia Rental Inspection Committee met for the second time Wednesday night, but not much was accomplished other than acknowledging what most Sedalians already know — there's a problem with too many sub-standard homes in Sedalia.
Some citizens have complained the city will just push through a rental inspection ordinance with no regard for tenants or landlords, but those in attendance at Wednesday's meeting can attest to the fact that local landlords Terri Hunter and Kim Welch are ready to fight for a fair ordinance for their fellow landlords.
Chuck Leftwich said he researched several rental inspection ordinances across the state this spring when he was running for Sedalia City Council Ward 1, some being in effect for a few years and one being in effect since the mid-1990s. He said he spoke with city officials in those communities and they "all had positive things to say about the program. They stressed how well it's worked for so many years."
David Wiedeman, also a local landlord, said he wants to know more about why the city's current code enforcement ordinances are "failing" and if they can be "tweaked" before diving into a larger inspection ordinance.
"I would say at this point you have got pretty heavy objection to the idea of the rental inspection ordinance," Wiedeman said. "As I sit on this committee, if we say we need an inspection ordinance, I need to know why the others isn't working."
"I know the surveys we put out, it was overwhelming (in favor of rental inspections)," Mayor Stephen Galliher, who is the committee chairman, said.
Wiedeman replied by saying people won't be in favor once they find out how much it will cost for an inspection, which has not yet been discussed. Welch chimed in on the fee issue, adding that some maintenance requirements, such as the need to replace egress windows, could cost landlords "exponentially down the road" and that cost would be passed to their tenants.
"That's what concerns me," she said.
Galliher reminded her that addressing those concerns is the committee's responsibility, and that it is up to the committee to come up with a recommendation to council about things such as egress windows and costs.
"I think it's a matter of the right mix," Leftwich added. "Because a lot of these cities that have these programs in effect for years, they're covering things that are safety issues, real safety issues. What do we do, overlook safety for the sake of not having an inspection fee? We have to look at the safety and find the right mix."
Members of the committee also clashed on whether or not fines should be imposed on landlords who don't follow ordinances. At the beginning of the meeting, Welch said she would like to see an ordinance that includes incentives rather than punishment.
City Attorney Anne Gardner said her only options in municipal court are to fine or jail a code violator. She said collecting fines is difficult, and Chief Building Inspector Andy Burt said following up with violators is just as difficult, as current ordinances only allow the city to inspect inside a residence if a tenant complains and invites the city inside. If that tenant gets fed up and moves out, the city can no longer inspect inside, unless a new tenant complains.
Gardner asked the committee that if they don't think imposing a fine is the best option to think of other options to bring to future meetings for discussion.
"Kim, when you (spoke about incentives), it intrigues me," Ward 1 Councilman Jeff Leeman said. "At the bottom line of everything, I think somewhere there's got to be some type of a fine. There's got to be some kind of a hammer out there."
"But it isn't effective," Welch quickly replied.
Leeman asked Welch to expand on her ideas of incentives.
"The Landlord Association presented a program to the city two years ago and it went nowhere and it included incentives, education and it included inspections done by landlords of their own properties, which we do all the time," Welch said. "When we enter properties to collect rent I'm checking to see if the tenants have broken windows, if there's holes in the walls, have they removed smoke detectors. We do this because we care about our properties."
"If you inspect yourself, that's like putting the fox in charge of the hen house, isn't it?" Galliher asked.
"You're saying you don't trust your community?" Welch replied.
"What I'm saying is if you police yourself, and I'm sure that some do, I'm not saying you don't, I've seen some of your stuff. Some folks are doing it, but there's some folks that aren't. That's what's led to this," Galliher said.
Welch replied, saying that complaint-driven inspections are needed, and Galliher again reminded her that's what the committee is tasked with deciding.
Welch complained that there should be a solution to holding landlords accountable rather than "going in circles" with violating ordinances, being fined, and then the process starting all over again with the next violation. Her remark could have also applied to the meeting, as it was clear the members are divided on whether an inspection ordinance is needed, and little progress was made Tuesday, other than deciding on the next meeting's topic.
After Tuesday's discussions it was decided November's meeting will include guests from the Code Enforcement Department and municipal court to explain the process from start to finish.
The committee will be meeting with City of Independence officials later this month to discuss its recently-passed rental inspection ordinance. The next meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2 in the Mayor's Conference Room at the Sedalia Municipal Building, 200 S. Osage Ave.

Brisbane, Nov.24: England's cricketers were at the centre of a diplomatic row when guests booed them for failing to attend an official pre-Ashes lunch in Brisbane. Former Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy, who was hosting the function on behalf of the Queensland Cricket Association, twice encouraged an audience of a few hundred to vent their displeasure at England's no-show.
Healy reportedly told guests at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre: "The English have decided this lunch isn't big enough for them. We were told the reason is that Australians don't attend functions like this in England, but we're not in England now and we''d really liked to have seen the players here."
Six members of the Australian team, including captain Ricky Ponting, attended the 100-pound-a-head function, as well as members of the Australian management. The ECB, however, hit back at suggestions of a snub, insisting they had not received any invitation to attend the lunch, and pointing out that a memorandum of understanding with Cricket Australia requires both sides to attend only two carefully chosen functions per tour.
An ECB spokesman said: "We receive a number of requests to attend functions of this nature on tour and it''s not feasible to attend them all. We have already attended a number of functions above and beyond the requirements agreed between the ECB and Cricket Australia, and the players will be visiting the Royal Children''s Hospital in Melbourne around Christmas."
One England insider told the Daily Mail: "Ian Healy was being very cheeky. He knew what he was doing – he was just trying to stoke a bit of patriotism before the Ashes. But our conscience is clear."

Aug 19th 14 heaven invited my mom to come home. The past few days have been a struggle. Being on earth we are the ones who grieve the losses, she is fine now and happy I now must move on and and review my own life. No more phone calls just to check in. ( I miss those), it took me along time to look at Mom as a person with her own growing pains and her own spiritual journey. I was 35 when I finally realized this. She lost her parents by age 14 so she never had the blessing I received from her. How did she know what to do? How did she have a unique relationship with all 7 of us making each one of us feel special? She was an amazing Nurse as well. The services where not traditional just a gathering of her co workers, families and friends sharing stories of her loving life and the people she had encouraged or mentored along the road. She would have loved it. Now may my journey continue with the lessons mom left me and may I touch the world with love and uniqueness just as she had.

While Spectral further refines and augments the blueprint introduced in earnest on Mind Revolution, there is some magic at work here that had remained veiled up until this point. Magic that puts Spectral right up there with the debut as some of the genre's most impressive output. Most strikingly, Edlund and Hanner truly come into their own here regarding the riffs. They are still delivered via a chunky power/thrash template, but there is balance here that strikes a chord that not even the most raging of Mind Revolution can touch. Timeless Departure was and always will be an all-time classic to me, but Spectral finds itself on equal footing - albeit for entirely different reasons.
Skyfire themselves are an anomaly of a band in the bottle-necked scene they occupy. They eschew the use of the familial shred-happy and erratic mold normally associated with more renowned acts, instead guiding the music by virtue of the homogenization triggered by the distant, twinkling synths and grumbling distortion. The withdrawal of traditional soloing continues here, and while this can in retrospect be seen as a compositional flaw, it adds some charm and verisimilitude to the music. It matters little either way, as the leads on Spectral will make it an instant winner to most ears. I credit the cross-section of the progressive and melodic death genres present here, as there is always an underlying sense for the pioneering along with an avant-garde edge. A killer example is "A Dead Man's Race," which segues from crunchy palm-mutes to the uplifting melodic appeal of the chorus and back again. The formula is decidedly simple compared to the bombastic inclination of Timeless Departure, but through this the band finally finds room to juggle the keyboards and guitars in a coherent way. Mind Revolution came close regarding this concept, but Spectral perfects it.
The keyboards are as always: enthralling. As usual, most of them are programmed, resulting in a portentous, reflexive atmosphere that has come to define Skyfire proper. Cataloging their place in the crowded field of their peers has always been an imposing task, but the tone ranges from endearingly upbeat "Cursed by Belief" to bleak and morose "Void of Hope." While Spectral generally leans to the latter, the melodies are crafted with such care that they never lose that well-worn proclivity for the hook that is so paramount in the melodic death field. The opening lead of "Shivering Shade" is one of the greatest examples, sounding dangerous and bleak but at the same time auspicious and positive. Other bands have achieved similar amalgams, sure, but Skyfire does it best. Edlund and Hanner truly have their trademark style down pat here, and the music undoubtedly benefits.
Regarding individual performances, I have always found this to be Wenngren's finest hour, both as a lyricist and a vocalist. While not necessarily groundbreaking or riveting in his technique, he has cumulatively upped the ante regarding his penmanship. From the rather typical fantasy-inspired diatribes of Timeless Departure to the introspective oeuvres that shore up departures to the mind's eye like "Effusion of Strength" and "Shadow Creator;" we've come a long way. It is worth noting that Björk wrote most of the lyrics for the debut, but the point remains steadfast. Sjögren's swansong effort is also worth mention, as the nonexistent bass tone from the last two records has finally been rectified. He isn't abrasively upfront, but he boasts a great clangy tone that has no problem sharing sonic real estate with the buzzsaw-esque timbre of the guitars. "A Dead Man's Race" features a great, chill drop-out passage where he gets a decent grab at the spotlight, so not a raw deal by any means.
The only flaw of any real note revolves around the production of Jonsson's drums. The top end of the kit sounds fine, but the bass drums sound irritatingly dull and anemic. This gives way to the bizarre "chucka-chucka-chucka" sonic aesthetic to the blasting, which while not necessarily a conscious decision on the band's part, doesn't impress me as much as the rest of the mix. He blew both this performance and production job out of the water on Esoteric anyway, so credit where credit is due.
Being one of the few albums I can spin again and again without refrain, Spectral is without a doubt one of the best examples of melodeath executed exceptionally. I only own the regular pressing, but I am familiar enough with the bonus track "Patterns" to confirm its existence as a spectacular end cap and one of the best on the album. Skyfire as a band is a great example of a few childhood friends getting together and banging out the music they love. Pride and care for their craft goes a long way, and while it is structurally atypical, this lack of adherence to genre norms is what makes this one a fucking winner. Picking a favorite between this and the debut was always a worrisome proposition, and in the end it is up to the listener. If you dig the triumphant melodies and Bal-Sagoth worship Skyfire occasionally flirts with, Timeless Departure is for you. If you are a more traditional fan of the genre - or hell anyone in for a great listen, Spectral awaits...
The rest of Skyfire's discography I either don't like or can't stand. The melodramatic, keyboard-laden, melodic death attitude and power metal leads are dandy for certain bands like early Kalmah and mid-era Eternal Tears Of Sorrow. That stuff rules, but most of Skyfire's material sucks as their music tries to outdo what Children Of Bodom were doing at the turn of the century. Well, after this band did itself in with a lame debut and sophomore album, they dropped Spectral, while I shat bricks. Not only did this album ultimately slay (at a time when I liked most of Skyfire's work), but it still manages to hold up today as a catchy, intense melodic death epic while remaining to the point.
Spectral offers modern production that's also slightly muffled, a great balance of mixed instruments, and a tight sound and flow. It's the great middle ground between the tinny garbage sound they had with the material preceding this album and the overly polished fodder they released later. Beyond that, the songs are exquisite – keyboard-infested melodic death with power metal leads that are intricate and incredibly fun to listen to because the compositions work. Nothing feels longer than it has to be, nothing drags on, nothing's too short, and everything has a place and purpose. The riffs are bludgeoning and very crisp, as well as heavy and passionate while the leads are striking and arcane. The keys do play an important role as they define the melody and atmosphere for each track, but the focus always goes back to the riffs and leads as they trudge and are trusted with enhancing the fantasy-like tone of the album.
The melodrama of Skyfire's music still exists, but to a lesser degree in part because of the tighter band sound, the increase in intensity, the structure of the compositions, and those riffs. Honestly, it's the only time Skyfire sacrificed theatrics for competent playing. Songs like "Conjuring The Thoughts" and "Tranquillity's Maze", with the burly grumble of the bass tailing the charging riffs and leads, show a more skilled band at work. Wenngren's vocals are probably the only thing I can criticize, as I think they aren't as passionate as the rest of the music. His screams sound like he's not even trying, and when you compare them to other vocalists (typically ones in black metal bands) he's useless. The screams he does are exhaled and loud, kind of like older Children Of Bodom, but Wenngren doesn't take any chances and has practically no range. It's the one thing I can knock down, but they still don't detract heavily from the music as one would think. In fact, they're quite the afterthought when delving into the frenzied riffs and well-endowed pummeling of the drums.
I'd recommend this album as the only thing you listen to from this band. For those breaking the ice with extreme metal, then this band has more use. That's what Skyfire did for me, but today when only one album of theirs still remains up to standard, that says three things: how much their other material sucks; how much I've changed my taste; how valuable Spectral is. Skyfire is inherently forgettable and insanely tame, although when the music has more than an ounce of vigor, then lasting power begins to make an impact.
To start off, I want to say that I bought this album on a completely blind (wouldn't "deaf" be a better way to describe a purchase made having never HEARD the music? But I digress) purchase. I had never heard a single song by Skyfire, I only knew their genre. And when I listened to the whole album the first time, I was really happy. I thought I had found something great that I would enjoy for years. However, I soon discovered (as is usually the case when I really like an album the first time I hear it) that a lot of the songs on this album sounded exactly the same. I mean really, really alike. Like to the point where I would expect one part of a song to be coming up next, only to discover later that the part of the song I was expecting was on an entirely different track.
And as the title suggests, it is not as though the music is bad, it is pretty much straight forward, European keyboard-driven melodic death metal, which in my book is not a bad thing. I really like Follow The Reaper by Children of Bodom, however I can pick out each individual song on that album in just a few seconds. On Spectral though, I can get through a whole song and not be able to tell you which one it is, as chances are it sounds exactly like the ones that came before it and the ones that will come after it.
The vocalist on this album pretty much never changes his style, every song is pretty much in the same tone: a death growl that is significantly lower-pitched than say, Alexi from Bodom and Petri from Norther. He never really changes his pitch throughout the whole album. Again, I would like to stress that his delivery is not bad in and of itself, it's just that some variation would be nice.
The keyboards are definitely what drive this album, and they are certainly played well, they just seem to be played the same way. The melodies appear to be recycled song-by-song; it's like the band heard one Bodom melody they really, really liked, and tried to fit it into every song. The keyboards are definitely the instrument that plays the most significant part in the repetitve nature of this album.
The guitar is definitely a secondary instrument for Skyfire, and although it fits in neatly with the keyboards, it is just kind of there. The album consists of a lot of low-tuned, driving riffs that don't change too much song-by-song. Most of the melody is done by the keyboards, the guitar seems to be more of a rhythm instrument of this album. There are a few guitar solos, but none that will make you stop and take a second listen.
I could keep going on instrument-by-instrument, but I think by now the point has been made. I would like to stress once again that despite the generally negative tone of this review, it's not that I find this album particularly bad or that there is anything really wrong with the music, as I previously stated that I really enjoyed it when I first got the album, it's just that it gets boring after a while (and not a long while either). I still listen to the album every once in a while, it's just that the tracks on this album do not have an individual character, they are basically all interchangeable with each other. To listen to one track on this album is to listen to all of them. This band is not doing anything too unique or original for their genre to be making albums that really have only one sound. There is definitely potential here, but they need to come up with some new ideas to complement those they already have.
Is there anything that this album lacks at all? The answer, surprisingly, is no. Let's take a closer look.
I knocked a point off of the flawless rating for 'Timeless Departure', because the production was not great, only above average, which is respectable for a debut album. However, by their third album, the production has been perfected, and in fact enhances the music a great deal. The layers are more discernable, and the power of the music increased even more than before.
Yes, the music is agonizingly powerful, in a deep and philosophical manner. All their songs seem to deal with philosophy, misanthropy, and of course, depression, and the music portrays this perfectly in a furious yet serene way.
Instrumentally, this music is also flawless. The background keyboards fit perfectly, as well as the other keyboards, which while more prominent, also play perfectly off the guitar sequences. Neither overpowers the other, and coexist in complete harmony. The same has been attempted by many other bands, who have not nearly succeeded as much.
The vocals are indeed powerful, and unremitting. They further add to the music and the lyrics, giving every piece a deeply philosophical feel. There are also no 'filler' songs, all tell a story, and each and every one is equally great with no parts that just serve to pass time.
If I had to pick the best tracks on this album (aside from all of them), I would recommend 'Conjuring the Thoughts', 'Shivering Shade' (duh), 'Shadow Creator', 'Awake', and 'Void of Hope'. Though this album is essentially perfect, if there were one aspect of it I could enhance, I would make the songs longer and more epic. Of course, this would have to be with no fillers, no 'idle' sections, and no break from the relentlessly amazing atmosphere that is created in every song on the album, but I am quite sure that these amazingly talented musicians could pull it off.
Anyone who appreciates great musicianship, whether or not they commonly like metal should check this album out. Simply spectacular, one of my all time favorites.
I will do my best not to compare this band with CHILDREN OF BODOM but when you're a music reviewer and an observer of details things take on another turn. SKYFIRE do share the same bed as C.O.B., but they have a different approach.
Whereas C.O.B. plays a brand of Power Metal that's thrashy and symphonic, even Punkish at times, SKYFIRE's stuff is more orchestrated, epic, less Power Metal and much more Death/Black oriented. The compositional level on the bands albums has always been ambitious, I think "Timeless Departure" was a good starting point (though not being any memorable experience to yours truly), "Mind Revolution" went past me and now "Spectral" is reassuring my interest in this band.
The album is a headstrong presentation of Epic Death/Black Metal with semi Progressive Metal influences that easily rivals C.O.B. or any other band with complex song structures and technical instrumentation. SKYFIRE's apprenticeship is officially over, they have a sound they can call their own regardless of comparisons coming from other reviewers worldwide, take "Effusion Of Strength", "Shivering Shade", "A Dead Man's Race" or "Tranquillity's Maze", each of them has skilled songwriting, dream like keyboard textures and hyperactive riffs/melodies. There are some atmospheric parts that might sound experimental but they fit rather well into the sound (see "Shivering Shades").
A perfect album!
With their third full-length release, Skyfire has rounded out and polished their unique brand of melodic death. The previous two albums had been a bit sloppy and some songs, boring. However, Spectral shows a more matured and developed Skyfire. The production is better on this album allowing to showcase the great keyboard work, melodic riffs, and some very nice drumming.
In an over-saturated genre such as this, it is very hard to remain on top of the pack and few bands have been able to do so. If you know Skyfire, you may compare them to Children of Bodom or Kalmah. However, the aspects that set them apart are as follows:
1)The keyboards play off the guitar perfectly, instead of being used as a main instrument at points (see Effusion of Strength, Awake, Cursed By Belief, etc.)
2)Skyfire creates a much less chaotic melody than that of Children of Bodom or Kalmah. Their music is very developed and layered between the keyboards, guitars, and bass.
3)Mainly a difference from Bodom, because I will give Kalmah credit for this, Skyfire's lyrics are intelligent and make sense (sorry Alexi).
If you still aren't sure about buying this album, probably the best songs to sample are Awake and Shivering Shade, which exemplify the album as a whole.
Look out for these guys in the future. I have a feeling their next debut will shake the melodic death world if they keep progressing at this rate. Who knows, maybe the Hate Crew will has finally some serious competition. Enjoy!

Concerns about ADS
I just used my autoADS for the first day, and there are a couple things that came up which slightly worries me. The first is that being uncut, I find I have to wrap it quite tightly around my unit; this leads to an increased "cold" sensation in the glans (is this normal?). As well, after I removed the device (about 1 hour of use), I saw that the skin on my penis had been "pinched up" and I assume this is because of how the autoADS was put on. I don't think the latter is permanent, thank god.
I've tried searching this but I haven't been able to find anything specific/similar to my case. Obviously, the best way to alleviate the stress on my unit is to loosen the grip of the ADS, but being uncut I find it slips off the glans if I don't do so. Also, how should I be increasing the usage times, and is using the ADS is best after a PE workout?
Start: 5.50" x 4.60"
Now: 6.70" x 4.80" (Goal: 8.00" x 6.00")
Current routine - hanging/ads, clamping and bathmate

L'Vehris was the capital city of the Inc'Radi homeworld and Empire. (Star Trek: Abandoned)
Early Years Edit
Built thousands of years before its abandonment in the 23rd millennium BCE, the city represented the pinnacle of technological achievement of the Inc'Radi civilisation at the height of their power. From this city, the administration of the entire empire was co-ordinated, as were any military operations within or beyond their borders. The Inc'Radi held the spirituality of their ancestors in high esteem, and as such many buildings were constructed in a way that did not impede events such as the solstice or equinox sunlight falling onto exact spots in the ancient temples.
Twenty five thousand years ago, the Inc'Radi were waging a war with a fledgling cybernetic race that would one day become known as the Borg. These Borg, while technologically inferior, still had the advantage of massive numbers over the empire, and managed to drive them back to their home system within a few years. The Inc'Radi warship Lantear was one of the first casualties of this new offensive - after limping home, the vessel crashed within L'Vehris itself, marking the beginning of a chain of events that soon led to the fall of the civilisation.
Major Enriss Temaga, a distinguished officer in the Vehrian military, was informed by her commander that the government had elected to evacuate the population, rather than fight and lose. Temaga, however, decided to take a force and meet the armada heading for the planet, to give her people time to evacuate. The delay was successful, but every ship bar her own fighter was destroyed. Upon returning to the planet, she found it deserted. As the enemy Hives entered the system, she activated the city's automatic defensive programs before fleeing herself. ("Lost and Found", "The Calm Before the Storm")
Re-discovery and OccupationEdit
In 2385, a Federation expedition team - led by the same Enriss Temaga, now a Starfleet captain - found the city intact and established a base within it. After their starship, USS Beltane, was destroyed, the Borg became aware that an opportunity was presenting itself. With the destruction of the Hive ship they encountered, the expedition knew it was only a matter of time before their enemy showed up to try and take the city again. ("Lost and Found")
The first few weeks of occupation yielded many surprises for the joint civilian-military expedition. Deadly incidents with a device akin to a transporter led the crew to be unwary of the city's technology, and an encounter with an Inc'Radi in stasis begged the question of how many more surprises the place held. ("Discoveries", "Nemo")
Later that year, a cavern deep beneath the city was found, containing over three thousand inert Borg drones. Though initially assumed dead, the drones reactivated after receiving a signal from a Borg vessel growing within the city. It was only through the timely intervention of the USS Adelphi that the expedition avoided assimilation. ("Into Tartarus")
Surprises continued cropping up well into 2386. Several weeks after the first siege, a training program was found in a building east of the control tower, consisting of any different holographic scenarios. However, when a competition between the senior staff began, the program malfunctioned, turning itself into a Kobayashi Maru-style situation. The deadly orbs - instruments of the program, designed to test reflexes and marksmanship - escaped the tower, sending the city into lockdown mode; all control interfaces were shut off and the city's shield erected around the area to contain them. Using the city's own weapons and an experimental shuttlecraft, the officers were saved and the offending tower completely destroyed. ("Think Fast")
Not long afterward, several unusual crystalline fragments were discovered in a laboratory. These fragments fed off the city's power grid and grew into new Crystalline Entities, which promptly attacked their "captors" and escaped. ("Growth")
As the year waned, another incident sent the entire city into chaos. A specific frequency of subspace interference permeated the system, completely disabling the power systems of the city and the Inc'Radi ship Olympus. Another section of the city collapsed during this incident trapping several key scientists, including Dr Carson. ("The Needs of the Many")
Under SiegeEdit
L'Vehris has been the subject of attack several times over its history, most notably from the ancient enemies of the Inc'Radi, the Borg. After many failed attempts to seize the technology for themselves after it was abandoned, the Borg placed a guard within the planet's rings to await the inhabitants' return. Instead of this, however, they witnessed the Beltane and her crew taking up residence.
After the destruction of the primary Hive, a new alliance of Collectives filled the power vacuum and set course for the planet. Arriving almost a year later, the Hives did battle with the city and the pitifully small forces of the expedition, causing critical damage to the USS Adelphi in the process. The intervention of a fleet of Inc'Ranas warships prevented her loss, and together with the Olympus managed to destroy the lead Hive. Playing on the tenuous nature of the alliance, the expedition were able to trick the remaining two Hives into firing on each other, resulting in their mutual destruction. ("Under Siege, parts I and II")
The next attack on the city by the Borg did not have as favourable an outcome. An initial wave of seven Hives, plus a second fleet of many more only days behind them, was dispatched at the behest of Enriss Temaga, who had avoided assimilation a second time and assumed control of a large number of Collectives. ("Second Strike") Two of these Hives were dispatched successfully, but the remaining five were sufficient to severely damage the Olympus and drive the expedition from the city into deep space. ("Divide and Conquer")
Current StatusEdit
The current status of L'Vehris is unknown, though it is assumed the city has been occupied or plundered by the Borg. However, the city has shown a remarkable instinct for self-preservation, and if the past is anything to go by, it will not surrender itself so easily.
