VIPAccessEXCLUSIVE: Carson Lueders Updated Interview With Alexisjoyvipaccess At Jordyn Jones’ Sweet Sixteen!
Twenty years ago, Kerm and Sallie Campbell learned about the listing of a gorgeous 120-acre farm near Suttons Bay, complete with a plantation-style home, centennial barn and indoor and outdoor equestrian facility. Rounding up three partners and a young winemaker, Black Star Farms began.
Happy birthday, Black Star Farms!
"If anyone orders merlot, I’m leaving. I am NOT drinking any f***ing merlot!” So said oenophile Miles Raymond in the 2004 movie Sideways — and many moviegoers apparently took his condemnation of the grape to heart.
In her latest Hour Detroit Michigan wine blog, Cort talks to Michigan winemakers about why they believe Merlot deserves your attention.
Attention red wine lovers! Blank Star Farms will soon be getting a special piece of equipment that will help them and other wine makers to produce better quality red wine. Just last week, Black Star Farms found out they were awarded a $210,000 grant from the Department of Agriculture. The winery applied for the "Value Added Food Processor" grant back in April. It was one of 51 proposals that the state considered.
Congrats to Heather Fortin and the Black Star Farms team!

Belize Police find a second grenade in the City in the span of a week. Last week the Police briefed the press about a grenade found on Banak Street in the City and promised an update on the investigations this week. Today however, police informed the media that they had found yet another grenade on Mayflower Street which intersects Vernon Street in Belize City. The discovery was made after authorities received a call at ten yesterday morning. Senior Superintendent Edward Broaster, Deputy Commander of the Eastern Division in Belize City briefed the press this morning. Here is audio provided by our Colleagues at KREM News.
The area it was found was under some bushes near a fence in an overgrown empty lot. The grenade was wrapped in several layers of plastic and police add that their intelligence suggests it was placed in the area about thirty minutes prior to them receiving the call. But there is the suggestion that officers of the police department are the ones planting the grenades.
There is also the growing fear, since the discovery of the grenade that there may be intent on detonating one such weapon in a crowded area during the upcoming September festivities. Authorities say they don’t believe so.
Police also discovered a point 38 revolver that was also seized.
Another pattern inspired by FlyFishFood.com. Very similar to their “Belly Scratcher Minnow”. You can follow the link to purchase the original version from Cheech and the gang. The signature feature of this fly is the tungsten weights tied to the belly that make the fly ride hook point up. This is a very useful technique that allows you to tie in various amounts of weight without using lead eyes. You can expect more sink than the “Neutral Minnow” because of this weight, but it will be both a subtle and level drop, instead of the jigging motion of a front weighted fly. Although this pattern is effective in still water, I prefer it in rivers as a strong pattern for both trout and smallmouth. For now I am offering it in three color combinations, but the options are endless. The almost neutral buoyancy of this fly is what gives it the lifelike movement of a bait fish. They don’t look like much when they are dry, but get them wet and you will see what the fish like about this tasty meal.
I tie this pattern primarily on tubes. I use a fair amount of ostrich plumes and a composite flash hackle for the body and under wing. Then I tie in a magnum rabbit strip and make a dubbing head using FlyFishFood’s Bruiser blend.
All tube flies include an appropriate sized hook.
We have been blessed by God to be a part of an organization of women who for 145 years have used their hands to turn their faith, hope and love into action on behalf of women, children and youth. Today I challenge you to examine what’s in your hands, reflect on United Methodist Women’s next 100 years of mission in Jesus’ name—then make it happen. Use your hands to invite women you know to expand their concepts of Christian mission at Mission u. Use your hands to push a United Methodist Women member to stir up her gifts at Leadership Development Days. Use your hands to support women, children and youth who face injustice.
I believe this applies to United Methodist Women today as well. So what’s in our hands?
I know what’s in our hands: faith for seeking spiritual growth personally and guidance for moving forward in mission. What’s in our hands is hope for making the world more just and peaceful for women, children and youth by training new leaders, expanding educational opportunities and working with United Methodist and other like-minded partners. What’s in our hands is love from God for reaching out to sisters and brothers.
We have an awesome opportunity to hone our skills and educate ourselves for informed action at our annual Mission u events. This year our spiritual growth study theme is “How Is It With Your Soul?” The text by Priscilla Pope-Levison and Jack Levison explores this question that is central to the history and development of The United Methodist Church. For the second and final year we will learn about the Roma of Europe in our geographic study. And this year marks the first of our two-year issue study on the church and people with disabilities.
I’m particularly looking forward to The Church and People With Disabilities. My niece has apraxia, a speech disorder, and she lives not letting the disability stop her from achieving any of her goals. She loves to read, so I’m always picking up Reading Program and other United Methodist Women resources for her to read. Also, one of the most awesome opportunities I’ve ever had was to serve as a Special Olympics cheerleading coach.
United Methodist Women, examine what’s in your hands. Then use your gifts, talents and giving to make United Methodist Women a stronger and more effective agent in God’s mission.

Our Chief Commercial Officer Katherine Ryzhaya has recently published an editorial on Energy CIO Insights, an online publication that cumulates the latest technology, opinions, analyses and discussion of the most predominant issues in the field of energy. Katherine wrote about the latest emerging technology in the solar industry – bifacial solar modules that can convert daylight to electricity from both sides. Current research undertaken by our R&D team suggest that this new technology could increase rates of generation by at least 8%, and other investigations suggest increases could be as much as 15%.
Read what Katherine had to say about the potential impacts of these developments in the full article, available online here.
