From calendar items and invitations (by mail or e-mail) I decide which events to cover. [Full disclosure: I like fashion, so I hit more fashion shows and shopping events than galas] Sometimes I assign Trend columnists to various events, but many times, they receive their own invitations.
Since there are more events on the social calendar than we can possibly attend, chairwomen need to provide a post-event press release and high-resolution photographs (with full names and hometowns) of guests. Please include your photographer's name so we can give proper credit.
We no longer assign photographers to events we don't cover. Many guests have cameras on their cell phones, and we're happy to accept those images. — Meg Moore

RIR keeps both race weekends for 2013
Officials from Richmond International Raceway today announced that the track will continue to host two NASCAR weekends in 2013. The events will be held April 26-27 and Sept. 6-7, with the September Sprint Cup Series race again serving as the final race before the 2013 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup (the circuit's playoff equivalent). The total financial benefit to the region as the result of both weekends – each of which includes a Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series race – is more than $300 million, according to RIR officials. "Bringing NASCAR back to Richmond International Raceway twice next year is huge for everyone in Greater Richmond," said RIR President Dennis Bickmeier. "The money being pumped into our economy twice a year makes a big difference in the livelihood of the 1.3 million people who call Greater Richmond home. Hotels, restaurants, grocers and many other locally owned businesses will benefit when NASCAR flocks to RIR." Tickets for the April NASCAR weekend go on sale Friday, Dec. 7. Fans who purchased tickets to this month's NASCAR weekend at RIR will be receiving renewal invitations in October. Guests who renew receive a savings on each ticket purchased, opportunity to keep their seats and may add or relocate seats before the general public. For details, visit http://www.rir.com or call 1-866-455-7223. |

Ironfish delights with a variety of tasty catches
I was overjoyed to head back for another meal at Ironfish by Pescados, considered the Best New Restaurant in 2011 by both the Richmond Times Dispatch and Richmond Magazine. I agree whole-heartedly with their ratings. Since I first visited the restaurant for my birthday in January, I was waiting for the perfect special occasion to return. I couldn't wait another year, obviously.

These sandals are stiff, not very flexible. The padding is very comfortable, but this is lost due to how inflexible the sandals are.

Comments about Burton Women's Jet Set Snowboard Jacket:
I love the look and feel of this coat but my zipper is messed up. When I zip it comes undone from the bottom up. I have to keep re-zipping it.
Comments about Burton Women's Jet Set Snowboard Jacket:
I ordered this jacket online and was so excited when I finally got it in the mail. When I first tried it on it fit perfectly, I zipped it up, then it unzipped from the bottom up. Not cool, sent it back and got another one hoping the first jacket was the problem and not the cheap zipper. Sadly my second jacket had the same problem. Not cool for when I ride.

American Guernsey Association appraiser, Brian Schnebly evaluated the Hoard's Dairyman Guernsey herd on September 27 and 28. His visit was just days before hundreds of visitors will tour the farm while at World Dairy Expo.
The 2011 Guernsey Component Queens were compiled from all 305-day DHI and DHIR lactation records received and made official by the American Guernsey Association. To be considered official for production recognition programs and awards, the cow must have had at least 8 test days with components measured for a 305D record and 9 test days with components measured for a 365D record.
The Guernsey 2-year-olds at the Hoard's Dairyman Farm, managed by Jason Yurs, are looking better than ever and it was evident during their most recent classification on May 21, 2012.
Based on a record of 91,028 lactations, the Jersey breed set new category records for pounds of milk, fat, and protein. In 2011, the breed averaged 18,633 pounds of milk, 889 pounds of fat, and 676 pounds of protein. Average yield on a Cheddar cheese equivalent basis was record-setting, as well, at 2,294 pounds.
Hoard's Dairyman Farm's Jerseys were just announced as ranking 5th nationally among Jersey herds with 150 to 299 cows for production. The Hoard's Dairyman Farm's 2011 AJCA Lactation Average is: 18,547M, 980F and 701P on 159 lactations.
The Hoard Farm team headed up by Jason Yurs continues to be pleased with the performance of young sires' daughters. On October 20, a number of young bulls had daughters either scored for the first time . . . or very early in the evaluation process.
The Hoard's Dairyman Farm is consigning some top-notch genetics to the International Guernsey Classic Sale, to be held on Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 7 p.m. at World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin. This sale will be featuring an elite offering of cows and heifers from the Hoard's Dairyman Farm.
What can photos tell us? A lot, when we discuss pedigrees and breeding. On Wednesday, September 14, Hoard's Dairyman pictured 14 of the farm's best Guernseys. The day began early, with two staff members washing in the pre-dawn cold in preparation for photographer, Kathy DeBruin of Agri-Graphics, to arrive for a full day of photographing.

Since he scored 51 points, grabbed 24 rebounds, and dished 12 assists while hitting a half-court three pointer to take the U16 European Championship Men Final to overtime and then win it, way back in August 2006, Ricky Rubio's name has been known all around the basketball World. Still only 20-years-old, he has already won one Spanish League title, one Euroleague, two Copa del Reys and one ULEB Cup title, and was the youngest men's basketball medallist in the Olympics. At only 18, he hit the NBA draft board as high as number 5. After pondering joining the Minnesota Timberwolves for two years, he decided early this summer to go for the NBA. This natural-born talent has not lived up to all expectations though, and despite his uncanny mix of skills, still has to acquire steadiness in terms of driving a team and hitting outside jumpers. The reassuring presence of Calderon is very good news for him and for Spain.

While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Former Clinton High School choir director and music minister John Langworthy avoided prison Tuesday after pleading guilty to five of eight counts of gratification of lust.
Langworthy was sentenced to 10 years on each of the five counts, but under the plea agreement, he will not go to prison. Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Bill Gowan suspended the 50-year sentence.
Langworthy, 50, was accused of molesting five boys between the ages of 6 and 13 between 1980 and 1984. The incidents happened while Langworthy was babysitting each of the children at his sister's home in Jackson and at his dorm room at Mississippi College, according to the indictments.
Two of the victims testified during Tuesday's hearing.
"I want you to know I do not hate you. I have forgiven you. In fact, my heart is sad for you in many ways," said one of the victims.
The victims said Langworthy used his position and influence in the church to gain access to them.
"These aren't isolated incidents. This is a manipulative pattern. It's sick and depraved," one of the victims testified.
The victims, now grown men, said they wanted Langworthy to know how his actions impacted their lives.
"You have caused more pain and agony in my family than any situation outside of my dad passing away this year," one of the victims told Langworthy from the witness stand.
Prosecutors said the victims agreed to Langworthy's suspended sentence.

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
Out of all the movies that were nominated for best picture, I would definitely say that this one was the best. The different perspectives in the story were very interesting and the relationship between Michael Douglas and his daughter was very disturbing. The movie had me squirming in my seat at sometimes but I loved it. The performances were excellent and the movie was deep. If you like going to the movies adn thinking at the same time, this is a good movie to see.

A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Surprised by Jack, Part 3: Mere Depravity
"Man is now a horror to God and to himself and a creature ill-adapted to the universe not because God made him so but because he has made himself so by the abuse of his free will. To my mind this is the sole function of the doctrine [of the Fall]."—C.S. Lewis
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Shaping the Human Soul, Part 5
We need to have an account of Sin in terms of habit. A lot of Christians today think of "sins" and discreet choices, but historically Christians have thought of Sin as a habitual tendency and disordering.
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 4
Scientist-theologians who write about TE also think about creation and theodicy in terms of divine "kenosis" and eschatology. So today we'll conclude our "implications" section by returning to creational theology, and then turn to the ways TEs re-think Adam and Eve in light of human evolution.
Behold, the Man
Anyone interested in the faith and science conversation knows that there currently is considerable, heated debate over the problem of "Adam." I'd like to suggest that this argument is in significant ways misplaced.
The Fall
The lyrics begin by painting a picture of the Fall as something in which each person has participated: "The fruit (of the Fall of man) is seen in every eye and every hand."
Life and Death
If you go back into the Genesis account, it says "now do not eat this or you will surely die". There is a whole chain of events that happens when Adam and Eve decide they want to walk away from God.
Saturday Sermon: The History of the World in a Nutshell
In tracing the fluid storyline of the Bible, Dr. Keller has first focused on the early chapters of Genesis, emphasizing both the ordained purpose of creation and the great Fall of humanity. The latter addresses the pressing question: what is wrong with the world?
Saturday Sermon: Paradise Lost
In order to understand the very nature of humanity, one needs a firm grasp on the doctrine of original Sin.
Saturday Sermon: Two Trees, Some Fruit, and a Piece of Bread
In his sermon "The Great Invitation", Kevin Kim raises a question that all Christians should address: what's so great about the gospel anyway?
Genesis Two Rewrites, Part 1
Genesis 2 is about as well known as any Bible story ever told – the wondrous story of the creation of Adam and Eve.
Saturday Sermon: Paradise in Crisis
Selfishness and violence, corruption and greed, wars and atrocities—for all time, this one question has been pondered: what went wrong in humanity?
Saturday Sermon: Greg Boyd
Despite their best efforts to bring harmony, people have failed to achieve shalom in the world. Why is this so?
Adam's Dream
I have frequently argued that it is poets who are often the most clear on the most important issues of our faith, including this one.
Sorrow and Anticipation
This video offers a striking visual metaphor for the spiritual death of sin. The unsettling music and vivid depictions of decay remind us of what was at stake as Christ hung high on Calvary.
