Hello again. Let's continue on our Michigan trip, as we explore some of the towns, scenery, and of course, Beer! First stop, Little Traverse Inn! While we did not stay here, we did visit the bar for a night cap. This quaint little location is a nice little stop to sit back and enjoy some great food as well as local beers. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and occasionally live music.
A neat little feature of this Inn is they have rotating cask beer. Pumped from a cask, low carbonation, slightly warmer and full of flavor. The cask special for the night was a beer from Right Brain Brewery called Northern Hawk Owl. This 5% ABV American Amber ale was a perfect choice for this selection. With a sweet malty nose and a smooth, light body, it tricks your senses in that it characterizes a nitro infusion. A pleasantly balance beer fit for a nightcap under the stars.
If you want some good home cooking, a place to stay, or a simply delicious brew in a ducky little bar, Little Traverse in is the way to go. Now, if you want fresh wine, beer, spirits, or just a nice walk through local small towns, there's much more to explore. The next few spots will not necessarily be in chronological order, but they will be a few of the places one can see within minutes of each other.
Fun fact: Leelanau County is on the 45th parallel. Oh, you don't know what that means? Ha, I had to remember my geography too. Put it this way, Michigan and France are on the same imaginary line on the globe. What is the significance of that? Do you like French wine? The 45th parallel is supposedly a great parallel for wine. That being said, let's talk about two wineries, shall we?
First stop, Blustone Vineyards. Not being a Wino, I really haven't dove into the experience that is wine. My wife on the other hand loves good wine, and knows her stuff. So on many of these excursions, while we might not agree on our favorites, I trust her experience. And we were both pleasantly surprised. The aesthetics both inside and out are breathtaking, ranging from a wide open atmosphere in the building to the vast fields of grapes.
The wines are high quality, and their ciders are truly enjoyable. I took a fancy of Incognito, a crisp and refreshing cider. The nose portrays a hint of white wine, and the body is light and bubbly, a very nice compliment to a summer day outside. No lie, I had one of the best Pinot Noirs I have ever tasted (let the reader use discernment). This beautiful winery snugly settled in the hills of Leelanau county is worth seeking out.
Another vinous gem is 45 North winery and vineyard. which happens to be across the vineyards from Blustone. You name it they have it; jams, art, wine, cider, and food to pair. After turning down the gravel road at the chain-held "45" sign. Inside, you can purchase your samples of wines and ciders. After, you can purchase bottles and glasses filled with wine and enjoy them on the deck or inside. Try a meat and cheese wheel to pair with your wines for an added delight. As for a wine recommendation, the 2015 Cabernet Franc/ Merlot is totally worth the price. For ciders, try the Oakayzie, just the right amount of oak, perfectly paired with a dry juicy body.
As you can see from the pictures, the landscapes are beautiful and add to the atmosphere that is wine country. We also found while driving around the county, you experience a lot of local culture and scenery. From giant sand dunes of a desert persuasion, to miles of endless sea-sized lake, mountains and animals, both domestic and wild.
While exploring the local towns, we came across the town of Suttons Bay, MI. If you are looking for a well rounded local experience, with a bit of a tourist welcome, please stop into this little hot spot. Do you like fresh brewed coffee? Or Gelato? Or maybe some Italian Ice, you will find your share in Little Bees Italian Ice. Walk down a small flowered alley, to the back of the main store and you are greeted by friendly locals who would rather venture to Massachusetts than Hawaii. Free samples abound, and you need them because the variety can be a bit overwhelming. The ladies there will take care of your order and answer any questions you may have about their town and foods. While you wait for your brew or your scoops, you can take a gander at the art displayed in their little gallery. Afterward, sit outside in a mini out door "bistro" setting, or park yourself on benches along the sidewalk or by the street.
Exploring this town is a relaxing walk, filled with scenic sights, restaurants wine and art. When you're ready to finish your day, however, I highly recommend visiting Hop Lot Brewing! Hand made soaps, memorabilia, visiting local cooks, live music and a fire pit, what else could you as for? Oh yea, Beer! Fresh local straight form their brewery to your glass (unless it's busy, you may get a plastic cup). Their beer is top notch, and the variety is enough to satisfy the least experienced of palates to the more snobby of the beer drinkers.
In the next article, I will highlight the breweries and some of their beer, but for this will move onto the distilleries. To enjoy great spirits distilled locally, take a trip to Northern Latitudes Distillery! Coincidentally this is located across the street from Boathouse Vineyards. Which is a good thing, seeing as how there's a plethora of samples at both locations (YAY! No driving).
Northern Latitude is a medley of local gifts, friendly faces, and home made spirits. They serve drinks too! In the middle is where the samples are served. Standing smugly behind the counters are workers who are more than happy to give you a history of the distillery, how the spirits are made, and some suggestions on pairings and mixes. Their rum, whiskey and vodka are pretty well done. I say, if you are looking for a place to visit and sample, Northern Latitude is definitely worth a shot (see what I did there too).
We also were able to visit a quaint little town called Leland. Between the bay, Leland river, the local food and stores, there is enough to keep you busy for a while. Right at the mouth of the river, there's a few shops that give you a spectacular view of Lake Michigan. Nestled in these little shops is a branch of Grand Traverse Distilling, a tasting room to be exact. Inside you can try some smaller samples of drink mixes, and for a a small fee you can try samples of their spirits straight, and take a souvenir whiskey glass from Scotland.
Grand Traverse's spirits are high quality, well rounded, smooth and delicious. I think I have a new favorite rum. Full bodied, dark charred but not overpowering. Their whiskeys are fine products as well. If you don't like rum or whiskey (for shame), there's vodka and gin too enjoy.
So I mentioned Boathouse Vineyards above didn't I? Well, I won't leave you hanging in this post. Do you like relaxing? How about wine? You will love Boathouse Vineyards. Go in, have a few samples, buy a glass or a bottle, then head outside and pull up a chair and relax on the green. Move down farther and you can sit down by the little channel , watching small boats pass on by. It's great for a visit, an occasion, or something to purchase and bring home to share.
Well, I do hope you enjoyed this round of a sip of Michigan, stay tuned for the next article where we entertain the palate's of our mind with some great breweries.

Proposals for new vetting system for non-EU citizens entering the Schengen zone
Emma Rawle
Schengen zone entry visa © alzay / Thinkstockphotos
Non-EU citizens could soon have to fill out an online form and pay €5 in order to enter the EU Schengen zone
The European Commission has outlined proposals for a new vetting system where visitors from non-EU countries will have to pay a €5 fee and fill out an online form in order to visit the Schengen zone.
"We need to know who is crossing our borders," said President Jean-Claude Juncker in his 2016 State of the Union Address in September. "By November, we will propose an automated system to determine who will be allowed to travel to Europe. This way we will know who is travelling to Europe before they even get here."
Called the EU Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), the system will crosscheck those wishing to enter Europe with databases including Interpol and criminal watch lists. Similarly to the US ESTA system, travellers will have to submit basic information online before they travel and pay a €5 fee, although under-18s would be free. Officials say the application will take 10 minutes and 95% of people will pass the checks within a few minutes, once cleared you will then be allowed to visit the area multiple times for five years.
The new system would apply to those who visit the Schengen zone from visa-wavier countries including the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia and, if passed by the European parliament, would be expected to come into force in 2020. Whether Britain would also be included depends on the outcome of Brexit negotiations with the EU.
Are foreigners in or out of favour with the French?
What impact could Brexit have on British holidaymakers?
French news stories that caught our eye this week
Migration and Home Affairs Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said: "ETIAS is the missing link in our border management, connecting the dots with our migration and security policies and enhancing Schengen entry for at least 95% of visa-free travellers. Europe's openness does not come at the cost of its security."
Security Union Commissioner Julian King said: "Terrorists and criminals don't care much for national borders. The only way to defeat them is by working together effectively. ETIAS will help do that: by spotting problem individuals and stopping them from coming, we'll enhance Europe's internal security."

From extremely useful to completely useless: With the advent of smartphones and tablets, dog owners can choose from an overwhelming number of dog-related apps for Android and iOS systems. The Nutricanis editorial team has tested the various apps and picked out the five best ones for dog owners. After all, at Nutricanis, we employ people who love dogs and who want to make sure that your four-legged friend stays healthy and active. We believe that well-being and enjoyment of life are important to every dog owner.
A dog app that will hopefully never be used but should nevertheless be installed on every dog owner's smartphone: VETFINDER. As the name suggests, the app quickly shows the dog owner the location of the nearest veterinarian. It offers practical filter options (by specialisation, etc.) that can help you to not only find the nearest but also the most suitable vet in an emergency. As an especially handy feature, the app highlights veterinarians with emergency numbers and offers the contact details for each vet.
Download: Vetfinder for iOS und Android.

The easiest and most convenient way to store the (best) memories of your dog: CANINER DOGGIE DIARY is an app for dog owners, which allows you to create a diary for your dog in just a few clicks to record the best stories, photos and videos from his life. The app also includes a practical dog passport that can be used to store all the information a vet may need in a format that allows it to be accessed immediately. Each entry in your dog's diary can be shared easily on Facebook and Twitter so your friends can participate in your most beautiful memories.

Scandal is a big understatement. Again and again, we hear of poison bait being laid - often with criminal intent - a problem that should be addressed by the police and prosecutors but which is all too often perceived as a matter of little importance. At least GIFTKÖDERRADAR now offers a great self-help option. Via this app, like-minded dog owners can share the most recent locations in which poison bait has been laid. Every dog owner who has this app is warned automatically when he or she enters a poison bait danger zone. Since the safety and health of your dog should always be a top priority, this app is highly recommended.
Download: Giftköderradar for iOS und Android.
Though not comparable to poison bait, still always a reason to tear one's hair out: the often completely obscure regulations regarding the dog ban on beaches. The HUNDESTRAND-APP makes this nuisance a thing of the past because it allows you to view a list of all dog-friendly beaches even in the planning stages of your holiday. But not only that – the HUNDESTRAND-APP also informs you about "little" things such as leash laws, costs, and parking options. An app that dog owners should definitely use when preparing for beach holidays or visits to the beach.

It's a holiday weekend, and I'm swamped with non-Magic stuff at the moment, so we'll do another No-Judge Free-for-all. Got a cool idea for a card you want feedback from the Artisan community on? Drop it below in the comments, and then offer someone else some feedback. No one's doing a formal judging this week, but if you have something interesting to show off, I'm sure you'll get some good feedback on it.
Have fun, and enjoy the weekend.
This is an older design I found sitting in my file. Not sure how it came to be. I do dig the flavor of it possessing and animating corpses, and how you usually have to pay black mana to do that.
Since yesterday's CCDD turned out not to be new, here are two. These both explore double-tribal.
But first, let's briefly explore some good and bad tribal designs.
Here's a top-down-from-the-art implementation of two combatants coordinating an attack on a third.
Today I want to dig into a broad design concept called multiplicative design, and look at how we can approach Magic design through that context.
Weekend Design Challenge 082418 - What's in the Box?
Click through to see the requirements for your design challenge, due by Monday morning. Every submission warrants feedback, which you may use to revise your submission any number of times. I encourage you all to revise your designs at least once in response to feedback. I will review the most recent submission from each designer, or whichever submission you specify you wish to have reviewed.
What makes a horror truly terrifying is not knowing whether you can kill it or not. Or worse, watching it grow stronger when you try to.
I'm a big fan of variant formats. Not only do they add some spice and variety for long time players, but they also allow for more flexibility when scheduling Magic events with your friends (I'm always looking for more limited formats that don't require 8 people in the same place for multiple hours). When I saw the most recent episode of Enter the Battlefield about Richard Garfield and the Alpha Playtesters, I became inspired. The "original" Magic format they described, full of surprises and built around trading, sounded like a lot of fun! It got me thinking: how can we best recreate that original Magic environment using modern technology and design sensibilities? In this article I'm going to explore the best way to play Magic "as Garfield intended", literally.
My current design obsession is translating X-Men mythos into magic cards. Part of what makes the X-Men tick is when they are able to combine their powers in cool and interesting ways.
Here's a green-black interpretation of a hydra.
Heads-up: This execution is real mythic.
I spent several years before the GDS working on non-Magic games, and the experience I gained from that is what gave me the skills necessary to get second place. I wanted to share a couple specific reasons how designing these games helped me as a Magic designer and to help illustrate an alternate path to becoming a Great Designer.
This Prey Upon variant came top-down from the art. It's essentially a spell version of Polukranos, World Eater's monstrosity trigger, but using a very different template.
It feels great when you can tie an effect that serves a purpose for your game to a strong thematic concept. As the cardname suggests, this story is straight out of Assassin's Creed: No one will see a quiet stabbing in a bustling marketplace.
Time for me to take charge! Today's design was inspired by me wondering, what could creatures do with charge counters?
Hey Artisans. Click through to see the requirements for this weekend's design challenge, due Monday morning. Every submission warrants feedback, so once you've got your great idea down, give some thoughtful critique to some of your peers. Revise your submission any number of times, and on Monday-ish, I'll review the most recent submission from each designer.
This week we looked into joining a guild, and benefiting from being a part of it. Have any cards explored what leaving a guild looks like?
Moving right along with some more Ravnica 3 stuff, I'm pretty convinced at this point that devotion is a fantastic mechanic for a world built around belonging (or not) to a guild. So here's some devotion cards.
I don't know if I made this quite clear yet, but I'm super pumped to be spending a whole year on Ravnica. I was revisiting my dusty old thread about what I would do if I was in charge of designing Ravnica 3, and one of the themes I wanted to explore was being recruited into a guild.
Weekend Design Challenge 080318 - Return 3x Combo!!!
This idea started as a way for red to mitigate countermagic played against it, but then I saw no reason not to open it up for proactive use.
Here's a counterspell that doesn't net you a card if its target costs more.


Eph 4:15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— Eph 4:16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
Truth needs to be spoken, but not baldly, rather 'in love', because on it's own it can be brutal. Truthfulness is no atonement for cruelty. The phrase 'At least I'm being honest', is generally an excuse for someone being unkind. Love covers a multitude of faults. Speaking truth causes growth, in every area. This growth is upwards into Christ, whereas the growth of every part doing it's share, and every part does have a share, causes the growth of the church at large.
The church is joined together by what each person supplies to the other. Every connection brings something to the church. We serve one another when we serve the church. The body is effective when every part does its share. The church is made stronger when it grows.
Isolated people don't grow up. The fight to grow and change is the fight to remain connected.
If you just keep turning up, many of your problems will be solved. Being immersed in the church brings us into the 'power' of the church to transform our lives.

Giving regularly through your pay allows us to plan for the future and help care for the 850,000 people living with dementia.
We now have over 3,000 services providing support to people with dementia and their carers across local communities. Through campaigning and lobbying we strive to influence government policies and raise awareness of the challenges faced by people affected by dementia. Our Helpline now operates into the evenings and last year we supported over 40,000 people. Additionally, we had over 58,000 users of our online discussion form, Talking Point. We helped influence the government to commit £150 million to a world leading Dementia Research Institute, as a founding partner we have committed £50 million. Through our research programme we work to improve the knowledge we have about dementia and its treatment - and to pursue the ultimate goal of finding a cure.

Television gardener, David Domoney is calling on parents to get gardening with their children for Get Your Grown Ups Growing month this October, as the RHS celebrates the 16,000th registration to its schools campaign.
Each October, schools are invited to hold a grown-ups growing event so they can involve their local community to help develop the school garden.
Get Your Grown Ups Growing forms part of RHS Campaign for School Gardening – a national initiative, which turned five last week, that supports over half of all UK schools use a garden as a learning environment.
The RHS hopes to see 2,000 schools register for this year's event almost doubling last year's entries. All registered schools will be entered into a free prize draw to win garden tools and materials.
To register to take part in this year's event, held in October 2012, schools must sign up to the RHS Campaign for School Gardening via www.rhs.org.uk/schoolgardening and click on the 'Get Your Grown-ups Growing' button featured in the menu on the home page. Schools must register to receive a free support pack; including seeds, event ideas, information templates, stickers and much more. Each individual school can choose any date in October to hold its event and organise activities to suit its requirements.
Last year, an RHS survey discovered a lost generation of gardeners. The survey of 500 children, parents and grandparents found that less than 1% of parents gardened at school compared to 55% of grandparents and 40% of children.
For more information and please contact Ed Horne on edhorne@rhs.org.uk and 0207 821 3356.

Briar Prastiti
Biography Works 10 Resources 2 Performances 6
Briar Prastiti (b. 1992) is a composer and vocalist of New Zealand and Greek Cypriot descent. She hails from from Tauranga, New Zealand and is currently based in Thessaloniki, Greece. She holds a Masters in Composition from the New Zealand School of Music, where she studied composition under John Psathas and Michael Norris, alongside orchestration and conducting, both under Kenneth Young.

Briar's musical compositions have been performed or workshopped by the New Zealand String Quartet, multi-instrumentalist Adam Page, pianist Jonathan Berkahn and SMP Ensemble. Briar's first original film score for Missing Person, directed by Scott Williams, was premiered in 2012 at the Paramount Theatre in Wellington and her electroacoustic composition, In the Classroom was realised by Dugal McKinnon at the 2012 New Zealand Electroacoustic Music Symposium. Briar's graphic score for her experimental Javanese gamelan piece, Shifting Shadows was published by Waiteata Music Press as a part of the 'Strange Terrain' anthology.
She has scored three short films and was also involved in the production of the soundtracks for full length features, No Man's Land (2016) and White Lies (2013).
Briar's album, Blue Anima was released in July 2017, a release that maintains cohesion despite drawing upon a range of musical languages.

Link anchors are the glue that holds the web together. Link can be made to documents in the same folder, in different folder and on the web. They are described below.
The basic link connects one document to another file in the same folder. The given figure shows two HTML documents in the same folder.
So, when linking to documents within the same folder user needs to include only the file name.
A folder name, which specifies the folder on the server.
A file name and extension, which specifies the exact file to display.
In this case the link might looks like this.
Here the folder name and the file name are separated by a forward slash (/) which indicates the end of the folder name and the beginning of the file name.
When linking one document to another on the web, the document might reside on different servers. The given figure shows an originating document with a link to a document on the web.
The protocol indicator, which specifies how the server and browser communicate.
The hostname, which tells the browser the name of the server that holds the information.
The folder name, if necessary, which specifies the folder on the server.
The file name, if necessary, which specifies the exact file to display.
