Daemons, Phantoms, Vampires and Werewolves haunt this darkly Gothic deck. With illustrations based on original Victorian photographs, the cards have extraordinary atmosphere and a haunting beauty. All 79-cards are fully illustrated and based on 'RWS' established tarot meanings. Includes clear instructions with keywords.
This is a deck with which to explore the shadow sides of life; the wisdom and truth that may lie in nightmare, dark imagination and the fear of the supernatural. It's a deck with many levels, not all of which reveal themselves immediately, so it's best to get to know the cards over time. When you first use The Bohemian Gothic Tarot, I think you'll find it richly evocative, fun, surprising and, in places, unsettling. As you work further with the deck, the images will begin to offer deeper insights and perceptions about the darker, hidden workings of the subconscious, and the power that horror has to both frighten and attract us.
With this Oracle Cards app you can:
- Give haunting readings anywhere, anytime on your iOS device
- Choose between 1-card, 3-card, 5-card, The Prague "Threshold" spreads, plus two spreads designed specifically for use with The Bohemian Gothic Tarot

Customer Reviews
Not what I call free....
This app & several others from Oceanhouse Media are being pimped out as "Free". There's a slash in the $9.99 app price & they are being advertised as free. However, once the app is launched you are informed that the only thing that's free is a 7 day trial. After 7 days you have to purchase an in app purchase for $9.99 (the price that's deceivingly slashed) in order to keep using the app. This is not free in my book. I have downloaded tons of paid apps that were made free by the developers & never, EVER were they only free for a certain time period after downloading. This is the 1st....& it's nothing more than a cleaver scam IMO.
Not bad
Not a bad app, but I didn't purchase this to use as a tarot deck. I have the 1st edition of the Bohemian Gothic Tarot, but without the companion book. This app *is* the companion book, with readings added in. Pricey compared to most tarot apps, but this is one of the more expensive decks available.

Ornamental Trees
Hi everyone,
I am new to the Wisconsin forum. Happy to see so many WI folks looking forward to spring!
I need some help!
I have a fairly large sun garden in my back yard and the tree that I had as the focal point is not doing well. I want to plant a new tree in the center of the garden, but it can't get too big or throw too much shade. I would like the tree to flower, but it is not an absolute criteria. Any ideas for me?
I have a Redbud, weeping cherry, Tina crab apple and Lilac tre in the yard already.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
Ornamental trees are great because you get that once a year flower show. The problem is that a lot of these ornamentals are actually a fruiting tree. I just took out 3 crab apple trees last year from my back yard. I just didn't think the flower show was worth picking up all of those apples. I also have a couple of cherry trees that drive me nuts because the cherries take seed in my flower beds. These also seem to be prone to send up suckers.
Sorry for venting, but if I can save 1 person any frustration...
I would recommend a magnolia tree. These come in numerous different varieties. I have been told that the "star" shaped flower varieties have a decent record for overwintering. We have a magnolia in the backyard that we planted several years ago and it does great. My Dad has the biggest magnolia tree I've ever seen in this state in his back yard. I would not classify these as a tree that provides much shade; even at the size my Dad has. They look great in bloom and they do not bear fruit. If cost is an issue these get much cheaper in Sept/ Oct.
Good luck!
I thought of a couple non-flowering, but interesting trees to consider:
Japanese Maple: I have seen some pretty awesome hybrid mini Japanese maples. I think most of the regular varieties sit at around 8-9 feet tall. We just put in a weeping Japanese maple late last fall. It looks like it made it through the winter!
Harry Lauders Walking Stick: Most of the ones I have seen in this zone are pretty light on leaves which means they will not provide much shade. This is one of those unusual things that people either hate or love, but I think everyone can agree that they're unusual. No flowers, but it does have catkins in late winter/ early spring. This is on my list of trees to add (when I can.)
I hope you find what you're looking for!
Here is a link that might be useful: walking stick (winter? no leaves at all!)
If you want something that stays quite small, then check out the rose tree that Jungs has called Polar Joy. It is supposed to be hardy here and flower most of the summer. I don't have one, but I've heard good things about them and I might get one eventually. I love the look of Japanese maples but most of them aren't very hardy here, and they're so expensive that I hate to take a chance. What kind did you get superdavefive? And where did you get it?
Although listed for part shade, I have a Cornus kousa in full sun. It casts a dappled shade. Nice flowers (bracts) that last almost 2 months and berries (look like raspberries) that the birds eat so there is no mess. Mature size of 10x10' or 15x15'. Fall color is a wine red.
I have a magnolia stellata (star magnolia) & am not impressed with it. The flowers do not have enough structure to look good from a distance (across the yard)& the tree has nothing but the flowers to recommend it. Perhaps if it were closer to a traffic pattern where you would see the flowers up close & could appreciate the scent, then it might be appropriate but from a distance the flowers look like wet toilet paper on a stick to me.
Girards Nursery (mailorder) has paperbark maples at very reasonable prices. Thats the small tree that trips my trigger this year. Of course, I thought the magnolia was a great idea a few years ago.
Thanks for all the good suggestions. It is always good to hear what works and doesn't work in other people's gardens. I like the star magnolia up close when we walk around the neighborhood, but I agree, that from a distance they look kid of scraggly. Also after a rain the flowers kind of melt away. I may look into crabapples with minimal fruit. I know that the birds often take care of the small fruit in the spring. The newer varieties are also disease resistent. Wasn't the weather grest this past weekend? We spent Saturday and Sunday getting the leaves out of the gardens and putting the patio back together.
Serviceberry. I have 3 of the tree-type and two of the bush type. I think the tree is Amelancier "brilliance" (or close to that.) Mine have multitrunks and tops out at about 8 or 9 feet, so far. It is the earliest bloomer, and such a welcome sight. Makes delicious berries that birds crave too. does not make dense shade, nor does it push roots all over the top soil.
I also like the narrow, upright junipers, like "pencil".
They can look sort of stark tho, unless you have a large shrub or two or tall grasses with it.

Lakemore firm on political sign placement
Also, village dedicates soccer fields to Gerald Sanner
|After the Sept. 16 Lakemore Council meeting, members of the Gerald and Nancy Sanner family, alongside Mayor Rick Justice, display a sign to be erected at Lakemore's soccer fields off Sanitarium Road in honor of Gerald Sanner.

Signage was the focus of the Sept. 16 Council meeting.
Since the Nov. 5 General Election quickly is approaching, Council approved legislation regulating the usage of political signs in the village.
In the past, village officials confronted issues regarding election signage, specifically signs placed on village property.
According to the approved ordinance, political signage is defined as "signage used for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition."
The legislation states public facilities may not be used for the placement of political signs and signs may not be posted or placed on any village owned or leased property or located within the public right-of-way.
"Such signage should be located on private property only with the property owner's authorization," according to the ordinance.
Village officials said all signs placed in the public right-of-way immediately would be removed.
At the start of the meeting, Mayor Rick Justice presented Nancy Sanner a sign that soon would be placed at the village's soccer fields off of Sanitarium Road in honor of her late husband, Gerald Sanner. The sign reads, "Dedicated to Gerald Sanner."
Justice said Gerald Sanner spent a great deal of time working on the fields to strengthen local soccer opportunities.
Additionally at the meeting, Council approved the termination of Dakota Parsell and William Hopkins and resignations from Elizabeth Smith and Larry Burge from the Lakemore Fire Department.
Council also heard the second reading of a resolution to re-appoint Robb Seders for a six-year term on the Lakemore Planning Commission, with the term to expire Oct. 7, 2019, and the second reading of a resolution approving the purchase of Utility XP Billing Software from Government Accounting Solutions at a cost of $3,000 for the initial license fee and an additional $1,300 annually to cover the software subscription fee.
In other village business, the annual Halloween Party for children will take place Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. at the Municipal Building, 1400 Main St. Trick-or-treat hours will follow the party, from 5 to 7 p.m. Before the party, the Lakemore Firefighters Association will hold its regular Halloween Pancake Breakfast from 9 a.m. to noon at the station on Main Street.
Councilwoman Anne Snyder said the auction for the painted rain barrel will end at noon, and the winner will be announced. The bids start at $60 and can be placed at the Municipal Building, she said.
The next regular Lakemore Village Council meeting will take place Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Municipal Building, 1400 Main St.

Press release from PR Newswire
PSC Approves Increase to SCE&G's Retail Electric Rates
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
PSC Approves Increase to SCE&G's Retail Electric Rates15:43 EST Wednesday, December 19, 2012CAYCE, S.C., Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Public Service Commission of South Carolina (PSC) today voted unanimously to approve an overall increase in retail electric revenues of approximately $97.1 million, for South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, principal subsidiary of SCANA Corporation (NYSE: SCG). (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111004/CH80784LOGO )The increase approved today was presented to the PSC in November as part of an agreement that SCE&G reached with all the parties in the case except one. To offset and mitigate the effects of the proposed rate increase, the PSC also approved SCE&G's request for a mid-period reduction to its fuel costs. Additionally, the PSC approved a reduction to SCE&G's Demand-Side Management Rider to Retail Rates ("DSM Rider"). The total approved increase, along with the decrease to fuel costs and the decrease to the DSM Rider, results in a net impact to retail electric customers totaling 1.38 percent, or approximately $32 million. Beginning in January 2013, overall rates will increase as follows: - Residential customers:1.80%- Small commercial customers:0.08%- Medium commercial customers:0.63%- Large commercial/industrial customers:1.67%The monthly bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity would increase by approximately $2.59.Keller Kissam, SCE&G's president of retail operations, said the company's base rate filing was primarily driven by increased costs associated with improving reliability and ensuring regulatory compliance.PROFILESCE&G is a regulated public utility engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity to approximately 669,000 customers in South Carolina. The company also provides natural gas service to approximately 317,000 customers throughout the state.

DUNDEE — The Dundee Post Office has clarified where customers should pick up their mail while the office is closed because of last weekend's flooding.
Customers who have post office boxes in the lobby can pick up their letters, flat pieces and parcels from the Ida Post Office, said Dundee Postmaster Yvonne Bellestri.
Those who have mail delivered to their homes, whether city or rural delivery, and who receive notices that they have letters or parcels to pick up can get those at the Monroe Post Office.
Residents who want to drop mail in the collection box in front of the Dundee Post Office can do so starting today. The box had been emptied and sealed before the floodwaters rose so no mail was damaged, she said.
Ms. Bellestri said they anticipate the Dundee office will be closed for at least two weeks.

After the crash
All fixed with carbon spars in the wings.
Simple paint scheme for orientation. The original was like WWI dazzle camo for me.
Repairs came up quite good. Extra vent hole for the ESC which was moved to upper compartment.
Again, simple scheme for orientation. Lightly sand the foam before painting. Spats are gone and larger wheels fitted.
Strengthening mods to LG slot and across the servo hatch opening.
Some foam was removed to get the 1300/3s far far back as possible.
5g weight on tail for cg. Ply tailwheel mount was added because hobbyking forgot to fit the plastic one to mine.

Modified attachment for stays to reduce wheel toe in. Larger wheels fitted too.
Goofy from a mini FMS plane is a perfect size
Carbon fibre stay to reduce weight. Tails is glued rather than screwed for the same reason
Vent hole for ESC which is relocated under the chin.
Balsa battery tray so that battery can be easily inserted all the way to the firewall. Held in place with a small piece of velcro at one end.

Ugly isn't it?
All stripped, reshaped and ready for paint. Canopy is the blue core plug I made for vacuum forming a new one
Nice and clean looking.
Nice bright blue underside with yellow makes orientation easy.
Dual aileron servos driving the stock pushrods etc. System works great.
Update: Reworked spinner. Shortened motor shaft and replaced cone with a cap from my wife's Dove deodorant. Now looks a little more scale

All ready but no ROG from this grass.
Underside showing reinforced belly tank.
Shot of the internals showing battery and ESC location. Loads of room in there and everything is easily accessed.
Front vent opened right up and 50g of lead installed for correct cog. The 25g weight that FMS installed in the nose was removed.
Cowling vent cut open and one cylinder removed from the radial. I like to keep things cool.
Rear vent holes same as my PZ Wildcat.
Wings are held in place by a couple of globs of hot glue on either side of this opening. Makes it easy to remove them in the future.
Extended battery hatch glued to canopy hatch. Front locator made from some scrap foam cut from the internals

Aeroflite Valiant (and Dino) Nice plane. 5cc Enya. originally the motor was inverted but I changed it after a crash.
My mother's boyfriend Vic owned these two. The red one is a Nobler. Not sure what the other is. I flew the Nobler on several occasions and it was a fantastic plane.
That's me holding the valiant and Vic starting it. You can see why I changed the motor orientation. I believe that is a friend called Paul Cole sitting there playing with his "stick." Location, Airportwest, Melbourne.
Vic flying..something and my blue? P40 sitting on the runway (cricket pitch).

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I've always been fond of Caecilia.
I don't have a Kindle, but if I did, I wonder if I'd become so accustomed to seeing Caecilia on that little monochrome screen every day that it might start to look odd to me when I see it IRL. So ever since the first Kindle came out, I have an extra little hesitation to work through before using Caecilia in a project.
Am I being too sensitive?
Not at all. The associations a typeface carries are part of its overall impact and effect. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use Caecilia, but you should be aware of the added baggage from using "the Kindle font." Could be a bonus, could be a negative, depending on the situation.
>I have an extra little hesitation to work through before using Caecilia in a project.
You're breaking my heart.
>>I have an extra little hesitation to work through before using Caecilia in a project.
>You're breaking my heart.
And is your confidence also being shaken on a daily basis?
C'mon, you guys, you're just going to confuse all the kids with your ancient references. ;-)
Am I being too sensitive?
This reminds me of something I encountered at school; people would love the little band they had discovered and be absolutely devoted to them until they became big or someone they did not like had heard of them, at which point they were dropped like tainted meat.
Wasn't this a Simon & Garfunkel song?
Yes, hence the lyric references from Si and quadibloc. (Si was not being sarcastic, though it might have sounded that way.)
@Thomas Phinney:
(Si was not being sarcastic, though it might have sounded that way.)
Which was precisely why I felt a need to disambiguate the situation with an additional lyric reference.
However, the actual title of the Simon & Garfunkel song was Cecilia.
I've used Kindles for awhile now, and I eventually grew tired of Caecilia. Overexposure, I guess.
Now I'm happy to see a few more typeface choices on the latest Kindle, plus the embedded fonts that some publishers are putting in their e-books. So, yes, when I see Caecilia IRL, I might recoil a bit. Maybe that's just me, though.
I am also using Kindle, and in fact they are "not struggling" but they are making innovative ideas and taking the new leap instead. Their latest device is powerful and I could say better than any other Kindle-like platform. My Kindle is always in good care, recently I bought customize cases from http://www.kekacase.com/design-your-own/kindle-cases.html, and turns out all good.

Internet Use and Kids
Patricia Heaton's View of Kids and the Internet
by babysugar
Like us on Facebook
As a blogging mother, I can hardly knock the internet. But, I do worry about how my child will use the information super highway in the future as predators and creepy people lurk on it.
Patricia Heaton was on The View yesterday chatting about the pros and cons of the world wide web. To see what she said, read more.
The actress said:
The internet is such a blessing in some ways like your kid comes up to you and says, 'My book report on 17th century Mandarin Chinese ceremonial thing is due tomorrow.' And you say, 'No problem (while she pretend types.)' But also then, there's stuff that they look at and it's really kind of awful.
How do you feel about your child surfing the net?

City error will delay funds from Cabela's special sales tax
TOPEKA – Wichita City Hall neglected to notify the state on time that it created a special sales tax district to spur the development of a Cabela's outdoor sporting goods store in northeast Wichita. That move will sap revenue intended to finance a highway interchange project and construction of the store.
The slip-up means the Cabela's that opened to a throng of excited customers and speeches from Gov. Sam Brownback and top city officials last week will have to wait until July 1 to start collecting an additional 1.2 percent in sales tax that City Council members approved last year.
Two store employees confirmed to The Eagle on Thursday that the store was charging customers the additional tax. But Allen Bell, the city's urban development director, said the state has asked the store to stop charging it.
"It's a big mess," he said.
It's unclear if the city's delayed notice to the state will require Cabela's to refund money to customers. Bell said the delay won't eat into the 22-year lifespan of the tax district – just delay its start.
If the crush of customers on the store's opening day continues, it could mean revenue lost – or at least delayed – for the long-awaited construction of on- and off-ramps at K-96 and Greenwich, which are key to development in that fast-growing part of the city.
But while the special tax may be delayed, Bell said the $8 million project won't be since the city would finance it with bonds and use roughly $1 million in special tax money to help pay those off.
It's unclear who's to blame. The contract between the city and Cabela's calls for the company to notify the city that it's ready for the city to notify the state that it will begin collecting the tax.
Bell said the city got that notice last Friday, two days after the store opened, and that the city notified the state Monday.
Cabela's spokesman Wes Remmer said the company wasn't aware of the problems until Wednesday. He said the company is talking with the city to figure out whether customers would receive refunds, and he couldn't immediately confirm when Cabela's sent notice to the city.
Mayor Carl Brewer planned to meet with City Manager Robert Layton Thursday to learn how the error will affect the tax incentives.
Asked how the problem happened, Brewer said: "I understand it was a staff issue."
The Eagle filed an open records request with the city late Thursday to try to verify when the city received notice from Cabela's and when it notified the state.
The slip-up could cost Cabela's money, but the delay or refund of special sales tax could offer customers a chance to save 1.2 percent on purchases.
City Council members voted 6-1 last March to allow the Nebraska-based retailer to collect the extra sales tax. Of that, 1 percent goes to the developer, which in this case is Cabela's, and .2 percent helps pay for on- and off-ramps at the K-96 and Greenwich Road interchange.
Developers and the city projected the additional tax will generate nearly $17.2 million over the district's 22-year lifespan. Developers said the entire project would cost about $28 million.
Bell said the city will change its community improvement district ordinance so that the state will be notified of a start date for tax collection immediately after the district is approved by the City Council. That, he said, would prevent problems like this from happening again.
Another proposed development in the area will also receive tax incentives. More recently, the state has approved a $50 million special sales tax and revenue bond district to help build the interchange ramps and finance another development. The 400-acre entertainment and tourism district would be anchored by the proposed GoodSports Fieldhouse, mostly geared toward youth sports.
The STAR bonds allow developers and city to use the state's 6.3 percent sales tax for qualifying public and private infrastructure. The GoodSports project would use that cash for the development as well as for the interchange.

Elsbeth Schuetz of Los Angeles won our 2014 Mural Contest by bringing the Jazz Age to life on nail tips.
Meet the Winner:
"Guess Granny lied when she told me all they did back then was 'work, work, work!'" says Elsbeth Schuetz, winner of this year's Mural Contest with her Roaring Twenties-themed design. A Los Angeles-based nail artist and educator with a celebrity clientele, Schuetz explains why she chose that particular theme: "In the last few months I was invited to three Roaring Twenties parties. Plus, vintage and reproduction flapper dresses are seen on the red carpet and at many other events. We seem to simply love this 'chic and sinful' style." To create the mural, Schuetz says she imagined being at a party like this and made a mental layout of the event. "Once I painted the first 'guest' it became easy to invite the next one," she says. "I tried to achieve an old-fashioned tinted look with diluted paint."

Ok, in the same spirit as your post seems to be: What about Science FICTION did you not get? What you describe is a subgenre called Hard SF, where there is indeed some effort made to "explain" things scientifically sound...but most often then not, it's still just "make crap up" (as most authors are not scientists and the stuff they write about can not even be explained by any greater degree by real scientists) ... so by your definition, 99.95% of all literature labeled Sci Fi would be "just fantasy".
I'm sorry if my first reply seemed offensive to you. But if the only thing you want to do in here is nitpick about the term, then please don't.

We've heard about this song and we've been dying with curiosity to hear this song and here it is! The new will.i.am song featuring pop princess and X Factor judge Britney Spears.
The song, entitled Scream & Shout, is a club-banging dance track filled to the brim with beats, edits and all of the auto-tune. All of it. Spears' part on the track isn't actually as big as we'd expect, as she's only present in a few seconds of a repeated verse and her phrase "It's Britney, bitch," is sampled and pasted into the song.
Take a listen below and let us know what you think — did it live up to your expectations?
