Bellerive Country Club: St. Louis, MO August 9-12, 2018
- Tees, Fairways, and Fringe around Greens: Zoysia
- Rough: Bluegrass Mix
- Greens: Creeping Bentgrass
The 100th PGA Championship will take place at historic Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri. I got to attend Media Day on June 4 thanks to Jim Mattson, broadcaster of WEEK NBC in Peoria, IL. To start the day, we got to see Justin Thomas hole out from 125 yards on 18. After the media day interviews with Thomas, and executives from the PGA, CBS, and Turner, we were allowed to play the course. We started on the 15th Hole, and were able to play 17 holes. #14 is the only one I didn't get to play, so you won't see much about that hole. I will list the scorecard yardage from the black tees and Handicap for each hole.
To see the pictures I took on each hole, click on the blue hyperlink on each hole number. If you would like the pictures to use, please message me on Twitter (@skeeterrobinson). I just ask you give me proper credit if you use the picture in any public way.
Quick Takes/Summary of Bellerive
- Not a lot of water in play. There are a lot of trees that will affect wayward tee shots. Some out of bounds but shouldn't come into play unless a golfer is extremely wild on a shot.
- Rough is extremely thick. (Click here to see picture) We were told to play ball up if we went into the rough. The picture I show is about as good as I could get, and it looks much better than it actually was. I expect it to be similar length and be penal.
- There are a ton of bunkers. When you look at the pictures, you will see that. A lot of the greenside bunkers are well below the green; 5-10 below green level. Fairway bunkers are prevalant. In his interview, Justin Thomas mentioned that Off-the-Tee would be the most important aspect to play well at Bellerive. Between the bunkers and the rough, golfers have to hit fairways.
- Greens were slow. It's been a hot and humid start to the summer in St. Louis so they are keeping them watered to keep them good to go for the tournament. I expect them to run fast come August, and wouldn't be surprised if they start losing some green come the weekend. The greens are large, with multiple tiers on most of them. Hitting the green should not be an issue: but players will have to hit right section to score well.
- The natural design of the course is for a lot of dogleg left holes. Golfers who have a natural right to left draw with their shots, will have an advantage.
Par 4, 438 Yards (Handicap 7)
A pretty straightforward hole to open, I thought it would play as one of the easier holes, so I'm surprised to see it as a 7 handicap. There are bunkers on both sides of the fairway and there is a wooded area far right. A bunker front left center will really come into play on days the pin is on the left side. A ridge starts on the right edge of that front left bunker, dividing the green in half.
Par 4, 411 Yards (Handicap 13)
One of the few holes where water comes into play, it runs up the entire left side of the hole and will swallow up any short approach shots. Justin Thomas mentioned he used driver on every hole to see how it would work, and will definitely not be using driver on this hole. So most golfers will probably use an iron on this downhill tee shot. Bunker right to catch anyone truly trying to bail out from the water. Green slopes from right to left, towards water. Bunker right of green to catch approach shots that are trying to avoid water.
Par 3, 170 Yards (Handicap 17)
Water short and right from either tee box that they use. Bunker left of green is about 5 feet below the green. I don't see any tricky hole placements. But, a pin on the far right could be scary for any golfer who ends up in that left greenside bunker, as they will be blasting towards the water.
Par 4, 521 Yards (Handicap 9)
Tee shot opens up to the right, but bunkers there to catch errant tee shots. Longer hitters may try to play a right to left shot to play through the dogleg left. There is a tree between cart path and fairway on left side that could affect the second shot, or knock down a big tee shot. 2 other trees in the same area are about 180 yards from the green. Bunkers short of green on both left and right hand side. Out of Bounds up the entire left side if tee shot is really wild. Closely-mown area as a runoff if approach shot goes deep here.
Par 4, 473 Yards (Handicap 3)
Blind Tee Shot with fairway sloping left to right. But, no bunkers or any other hazard in the fairway: a rarity at Bellreive. Bunkers again protect the green both left and right. The left greenside bunker is about 5-7 feet below the green. There is a false front on the green, and a ridge in the right-center of the green. I didn't think this would play as the second toughest hole on the front, but blind tee shot and bunkers do make it a challenge. Closely-mown area as a runoff if approach shot goes deep here.
Par 3, 214 Yards (Handicap 11)
I didn't see the back tee, but this will look like a small green from back there. It looked narrow from 135 yards; our tee box. Water short and right, but would only really see this becoming an issue if the pin is on the back right section of the green. There is a large swale/bowl in the middle third of the green to make three tiers on this green. I can see the tees playing up for the back right pin placement, with the pin in the front or middle of the green, if playing the scorecard distance of 214 yards.
Par 4, 397 Yards (Handicap 15)
My picture wasn't the best on this hole, but you can see some of the odd contours here. Uneven landing area with bunkers on both sides of the fairway, and trees on the left. Another deep bunker short of the green to catch bad approach shots. Any approach that is long and left could find the creek that runs throughout the course.
Par 5, 613 Yards (Handicap 1)
This hole was a struggle for me, so I'm glad that it was the toughest handicapped hole on the course. Dogleg left, with a bunker to catch tee shots going right for better angle. Beyond the bunker on the right is another little creek that runs alongside the entire right side of this hole. Trees on the left form the dogleg. Four bunkers (3 Left, 1 Right) protect the front of this green, and will make it extremely tough for the bombers trying to reach this in two, to run it up the narrow opening. Another runoff behind the green, about 5 feet or so below the green. I think playing this as a three shot hole, with expected fast greens, is probably going to be the prudent play here.
Par 4, 437 Yards (Handicap 5)
I liked this hole, maybe because I got a par with a good tee shot and approach. Out of Bounds left could come into play, with bunkers on the left for anyone trying to cut the slight dogleg. Approach is to an uphill, multi-tiered green. There is a false front and a bowl directly behind it. The left and right sides of the green also have their own tiers. The picture around the green I took is from the left side of the green. Bunkers short left and right, as well as deep middle. I can see some shots on the weekend, finding that back bunker, which will be a real challenging shot to a pin in the front tier.
Par 4, 508 Yards (Handicap 10)
Long, dogleg left with a bunker in left landing area. Could be out of bounds to the left. There is a creek 50 yards short of the green, but should not play a factor. Bunkers short and deep, with the front bunkers being anywhere from 7 to 10 feet below the green.
Par 4, 271-358 Yards (Handicap 14)
This could be a driveable Par 4 if the PGA wants it to play that way. Great risk/reward hole if they do. Water to the right would challenge anyone going for the green off the tee. Even iron shots off the tee could get to the water if course is playing firm. Missing left isn't bad, as the terrain slopes left to right. A tee shot going left could bounce back into the fairway. A rare hole with no bunker.
Par 4, 475 Yards (Handicap 4)
On a course with no signature hole, I found this to be my favorite view on the course (and is the cover photo). Dogleg left but only long hitters will challenge the dogleg. Bunkers on the left if dogleg is challenged. Only a one-hole break from the greenside bunkers as there are bunkers both left and right of the green. Both bunkers are well below the surface of the green.
Hole 13
Par 3, 184 Yards (Handicap 18)
No pictures on this hole. A pretty straight-forward Par 3 with a bunker short right and deep left of the green. The green itself slopes from back to front right.
Hole 14
Par 4, 410 Yards (Handicap 12)
This was the only hole we didn't play on that day. But, it has the characteristics of Bellerive summed up nicely: Dogleg left, with bunkers right to catch shots avoiding dogleg. Bunkers short right and deep left of the green.
Par 4, 495 Yards (Handicap 2)
The fairway felt narrow off the tee. Bunker is in play on the left side of the fairway. Heavy trees and OB right of the trees (Nice homes as well). Bunkers short left and right of green, as well as back right of the green. Green will slope from right to left, with ridge starting at the left-center of the short right bunker.
Par 3, 239 Yards (Handicap 16)
The picture I took here is probably the best one showing exactly how far below the green these bunkers are, on this course. Bunkers short right and left here. Out of Bounds only about 10 yards or so right of the green, will be in play off the tee at this distance. Hump on the green in right-center of the green. A little surprised to see this as the second easiest hole on the back 9.
Par 5, 603 Yards (Handicap 6)
A tricky tee shot, with bunkers and trees left, and a creek right along side the right fairway. But, a wayward tee shot right can miss the water, but rough is thick and there are trees to restrict views and shots there. Hole starts bending right fo the approch, with the creek and trees around the green to the right. Two bunkers in front of the green to catch run-up shots, and one deep left as well.
Par 4, 462 Yards (Handicap 8)
Narrow landing area off the tee, with bunkers left and right. One final dogleg left on the hole. Four greenside bunkers short of the green, with three of them to the right. Green slopes from back right to front left. A bowl in left-middle portion of the green.
Fantasy Golf Stats to Target
Justin Thomas mentioned Off-the-Tee as being most important. With the rough so high and thick, I think Accuracy will carry a little greater emphasis than Distance. Approach will be important, as always, but with the greens being so large, I don't think Greens in Regulation is as important as Proximity. With a lot of these greens having tiers, combined with the large green sizes, simply hitting a green won't be good enough. I think putting will have some importance, but I may lean towards 3-Putt Avoidance due to size and tiers of the greens. Eight of the Par 4s play between 400-500 yards, so looking at that may be helpful. With so many bunkers in the fairway and around the green, I think looking at bunker play of players has to be considered. Finally, I think -10 to -15 will be the winning score. There's trouble if a shot is not on. But, I also think there are good scoring opportunities for well played shots. Birdies or Better will be part of my stat analysis.
It was a great place to play. I don't have $120,000 to pay for the first year membership, so I'll just remember my one round at Bellerive. One other thing I noticed was that though the holes are near each other (good for viewing, as you probably can watch multiple holes from one spot), I never realized how close the next hole was. The trees probably helped give me that feeling, but I never felt crowded on the course. Bellerive will be a good, fair test of golf. Bad shots will be punished, and good shots will be rewarded, and is why I think the winning score will be in the low teens. I'm excited to get to watch a course that I got to play, and hopefully will help you and me in our fantasy golf contests.

This Is the Surprise Ingredient That Makes Chef Gabrielle Hamilton's Grilled Cheese SO Good
The white stuff is the right stuff.
Gabrielle Hamilton's menu at Prune, which earned her a James Beard Award for Best Chef New York City, is known for its always-thrilling mix of the simple and the unexpected, from the chowder-soaked toast to the grilled ribeye with parsley-shallot butter, to one of the best spaghetti alla carbonaras of all time. And her gorgeous purple-bound cookbook, also titled Prune and full of her hand-scribbled notes, is a major score for fans who don't live anywhere near her restaurant but want to eat like they do. And while chances are you won't be attempting the pigeon with parsley vinaigrette, or the calf's brain fritto misto, at home anytime soon, you can easily pull off Prune signatures like the fresh radishes with sweet butter and kosher salt (always on the menu), or the canned sardines with Triscuits, Dijon mustard and cornichons (yes, canned sardines).
One classic you'll definitely want to start with? Her impeccable and super-easy three-ingredient grilled cheese. You can probably guess what two of the three ingredients are: bread, yes (a rustic-style loaf cut into 1/2-inch thick slices), and cheese (shredded extra-sharp cheddar). And the third ingredient? Nope, not butter. And not bacon, not mustard, not arugula, and not any of the trimmings chefs and other cheese-sandwich innovators like to put on theirs. It's mayo. That's it.
"This is the greatest cooking medium of all time for a grilled cheese sandwich," Hamilton tells Food 52, since mayo browns more evenly and won't stick to the pan or burn as quickly as butter does. Not to mention the extra flavor a slather of the creamy white stuff adds to your sandwich. You simply spread one side of each piece of bread with the mayo and turn the bread mayo-side out, then put the shredded cheese in between the two slices. Cook the sandwiches in a frying pan for about five minutes per side, and keep them warm in a 300-degree oven if you're making multiples.
For the full recipe, check out Food 52, or head over to Chowhound if you want to pair the grilled cheese with Hamilton's awesome minestrone.

"If I score, I'm French; If I don't, I'm Arab": Why France needs to recognise its "others"
As a Muslim French woman, my feelings regarding France's victory in the 2018 FIFA World Cup are quite divided. They are not divided about the game per se – the players undoubtedly demonstrated their brilliance on the field, and I do not see how I could be unhappy about winning the title again after 20 long years. Rather, I am sceptical about what changes this win will bring to individuals belonging to certain ethnic groups in this country, and to the Muslim faith in particular. Nothing major, I fear. Dear France, Congratulations on winning the #WorldCup. 80% of your team ...Read Full Post

Meghan Mixes Club Monaco & Givenchy for Hubb Community Kitchen Update
The Duchess wore Club Monaco for today's visit to the Hubb Community Kitchen.
The kitchen is located at the Al-Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre. ITV's Lizzie Robinson tweeted a quick video of the Duchess arriving.

— Lizzie Robinson (@LizzieITV) November 21, 2018
Meghan was visiting the kitchen to get an update on how funds raised through the sale of Together: Our Community Cookbook are being used. More than 40,000 copies of the book have been sold.
That is £210,000 (roughly $270,000 at today's exchange rates).
You'll remember that Meghan helped put the cookbook project together, and she wrote the foreword to the book. The cookbook features recipes from the Hubb Community Kitchen, started by women displaced following the deadly Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, which killed 72 people.
ITV's Chris Ship posted a video of the Duchess arriving in the kitchen.

— Chris Ship (@chrisshipitv) November 21, 2018
Some of the money is being used to keep the kitchen open up to seven days a week. Originally there was only enough funding to keep it open two days a week.
The Duchess helped out in the kitchen during her visit.
Meghan introduced her friend (and Michelin starred chef) Clare Smyth to the women as everyone was preparing 300 meals. The meals are going to local homeless shelters, care homes, and women's refuges.
Simon Perry of People shared a video with Meghan and some of the women working on the meals.

— Simon Perry (@SPerryPeoplemag) November 21, 2018
One way the money was invested was obvious: the kitchen has been renovated. It was completely redesigned, with input from the women from the Hubb. Here are "before" and "after shots," allowing us to really see the difference.
Here's another view of the work done by Ledbury Construction.
Money raised by cookbook sales has also been used for educational purposes; some of the women have been receiving training in things like food hygiene qualification.
Today Meghan also heard more about the long-term vision the women have for the Hubb, including ways they would like to use funds to do more outreach in the community.
Kensington Palace reports the women told Meghan some of the money will go to "a project delivering nutritious meals for women in Maternity wards, and a group offering a safe space for women affected by domestic violence."
Omid Scobie posted a video of Meghan as she was leaving.

Now to what Meghan wore for today's engagement. She was in a Club Monaco coat, it is a style called the Daylina, in burgundy.
The coat is made in a wool blend and features notch lapels, a single vent on the back for ease of movement, and welt pockets at the hip. It looks like it is sold out online, which is apparently the only place it was available. Our thanks to Laura for her ID of Meghan's coat.
Meghan also wore a Club Monaco dress, the Sallyet style. The dress is polyester with a straight fit, double-button cuffs, fabric-covered buttons, and a concealed back zipper. It also has a velvet point collar. The dress is priced at $228, but Club Monaco has started its Black Friday sale already. Purchases totaling more than $150 are discounted 25% with promo code CMBLACKFRIDAY18; that brings the price down to about $170.
We saw a new pair of boots this morning, the Givenchy Heeled Ankle Boot.
The boot is a slip-on style made of goatskin; it has a point toe design and a 3.5″ heel. We show it at multi-brand retailer Italist where the boot is on sale: originally $815, it is discounted to $698 and available in a mix of sizes. The style is also available at Givenchy, where the price is $995. Our thanks to Heaven for her ID on Meghan's dress and the Givenchy boots!
RING UPDATE NOV 23: It turns out that Meghan was wearing the Solange Azagury-Partridge Love Ring from the jeweler's Filigree Collection.
We mistakenly said the ring was the Jamie Love Ring by Meredith Hahn.
UPDATE: I initially thought Meghan was wearing her Birks Gold Bar earrings again, but no longer believe that to be the case. The pair worn today is shorter in length than the Birks. We have not yet identified them.
On a related note, the Duchess of Cambridge also had an engagement today.
She also wore burgundy/berry. There's been chatter about this online, debate about whether or not it was planned. I believe it was. Both women are sure to have heard about or read the stories in the tabloids about their hypothetical arguments, the fights they are allegedly having, all manner of things. Both are well aware of the unspoken messages their wardrobes send, and both are savvy enough to connect and say, "Hey, next time we have engagements on the same day, do you want to wear the same color or do something else to send a message?" Call me crazy, but I don't believe it is coincidental they both wore berry/maroon clothing, both wore black tights and both wore ponytails on the first day in quite a while when they both had engagements.
If so inclined, you can read about Kate's outfit at our sister site, What Kate Wore.
For everyone celebrating the holiday tomorrow, both Susans send lots of good thoughts and wishes for a very happy, safe and peaceful Thanksgiving! We'll see you Friday when we continue the WKW tradition of a Black Friday/Cyber Monday post updating all of the sales and savings opportunities available over the weekend.
We also wanted to remind you about the ABC News special, "Meghan's New Life: The Real Princess Diaries" airs on ABC tomorrow night (Thanksgiving) at 9pm EST.

All this talk about wearing the same colors makes me think about the same living arrangements that the Crambrige did when they were having there first child, the Queens have them house in the country called Amber Hall and now they have Apartment 1A in Kenninson place. I think the Queen is doing the same thing for Harry & Meghan she gave them Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, that in the country and when the other Apartment 1 is available and updated that will take a fewer years you will see Harry & Meghan live there and in the country too, just like the Cambridge's. I think the press needs news of any kind. That is my prediction and time will tell the real story.
Amy November 27, 2018 at 11:39 am
Both women looked fantastic. And I love that Meghan started showing off her work ethic long before the wedding.
I actually bought the book when it came out, and Amazon took nearly a month to get it to me. There isn't an "American version" like there are with Nigella Lawson's books. Both the UK and US versions are in the same book. The food looks fantastic, although I haven't had a chance to make any of it yet. The chocolate cake may be the first one, but Prince Harry's favorite Vegetable Samosas may also be in line. A photographer caught him with a takeaway package of some, and he gave that smile that said, "Don't tell Meghan I got these!"
I also want to try that avocado. . .something or other that Meghan says she now makes at home.
Mary November 25, 2018 at 7:09 pm
Loved this ensemble, except for the booties (which my opinion is clearly in the minority here 🙂 ). So nice to see Meghan in a festive color after so much black and navy this fall. I love the dress. It looks comfortable and yet sophisticated.
I honestly don't think Kate and Meghan planned the coordinating outfits, though it is a heck of a coincidence. They are members of the BRF and are capable of rising above any tabloid speculation about their relationships, appearance, etc. On some sort of special occasion, like one attended by Her Majesty or a family wedding, I believe there is careful coordination of colors and obviously dress code. But they're clearly independent women who wouldn't be inclined to bend to the whispers of the press. It makes me wonder if there was something else going on that day–a private party or reception with a theme that they would both be attending. Or perhaps it's a joke to be played on a member of their staff. But outside of that, I can't honestly see them consulting each other on their day to day clothes as it would obviously draw the dreaded comparison of "who wore it best," even when it's not the same label.
Holly November 24, 2018 at 8:15 pm
I think Meghan looks spectacular! The cut-out booties/shooties are fun, and I think she pulls off the "mistmatched" burgandies very well. Whether or not they coordinated, it's fun to think that both Meghan's and Kate's outfits are fun interpretations of the same guidelines: "ponytail, burgundy outfits, black tights/shoes…go!" It's a great way to see how their personal styles vary even if they came up with the same criteria like above: Meghan with roomier, more "modern" or minimalist pieces, and Kate with more structured and "senior" pieces. They are both beautiful women with different jobs, different aesthetics, and different messages to send.
I know that this blog and the sister blog are great for "in the weeds" tidbits on the significance of holidays, functions, histories, etc. So as someone from the book publishing world I will only add: it's interesting to see how the renovations, etc. are being attributed to the "proceeds of book sales." In reality, book sales earn royalties on a quarterly basis. Since the cookbook just launched September 25th, the first royalties period wouldn't end until December, and then they aren't paid automatically. So what I think this actually means is that the organization received an advance against royalties when they sold the rights for their book to be published. They likely got quite a large sum of money up front, something in the six-digits at least, for a book with a foreword by the DoS, because of the potential for high sales of the book. They will not earn further money on the book until they sell enough copies to earn out that advance. That is likely to happen given how popular the book is (I don't have exact sales figures), but they wouldn't see their first sum of money from actual proceeds of the book until the new year.
OK, fun facts aside! Hope that info is relatively interesting…

Do you think the matching Duchesses could also be "twinning"? How many times have you showed up at work and your favourite colleague is wearing the same colour/style outfit as you without "getting the memo" before hand. It could be unconcious/coincidental mirroring, which I think also demonstrates a common affinity.
Funny enough, I have a daughter that I placed for adoption and didn't raise, and just this year we reconnected. On our first meeting we both wore grey and burgundy outfits without knowing what the other would be wearing! Our first picture together looks fantastic! <3

The collar definitely matches the coat, though that's more clear in particular photos (daylight especially). I personally hate the color combo of purple and red, but these colors are subtle enough to not have that clashy effect for me, especially as they are both in the warm red tone of purple.

This whole post made me emotional. It's unbelievable to see what an impact Meghan's attention has had on this kitchen; I'm so glad they were able to keep the place open every day and receive such a beautiful renovated space! The fact that these women have lost so much and are now using their time to help others not just in their own community but also women in maternity wards and sufferers of domestic violence is absolutely awe-inspiring. Meghan clearly has a connection with these women as well.
Beyond that, loved Meghan's outfit as well. The colour looks great on her and it must be very comfortable during pregnancy. Nice to see her in tights as well, feels very British!

Lovely look on Meghan, professional yet comfy and accessible for a kitchen outing among friends. Those booties are to die for! (Although the vegan in me is crying for the goats — it's a yin yang struggle of colossal proportions) Everything works here, including her ponytail. She looks so happy and in her element — this is the kind of work where she just shines. It all happened so quickly — the cookbook came together (ha!) so fast and then sold so many copies immediately and the kitchen is already redone, etc. Phew! Just a taste of all the good ahead that she's going to do!

Love that Meghan continues to wear Canadian brands – the aesthetic really suits her. This Club Monaco coat is so similar though to an Esprit coat I bought (in my hometown, Toronto) back in 2010 – so almost 9 years ago. Mine is a brighter shade of berry, but otherwise the details & cut (even length) are almost the same. I guess fashion really does repeat. Glad I held on to it – although it fits a bit snugger now 🙂

I loved this look and the whole engagement – it's so clear that Meghan cares deeply about this place and the work they do at the kitchen. This is definitely The Tig Meghan coming out – focus on food and community. What a great way for her to support them. In one of the videos, you can hear her ask one of the women about her mother – Meghan clearly has a bond with these ladies.

That's quite some achievement for Meghan to have launched a bestseller book in her early months as a duchess, and the kitchen looks transformed to me. It was very nice timing too, as I happened to have just found another stash of Together aubergine masala in my freezer for supper tonight. #community
I find it terrific fun that she and Kate look to have shared several elements in their appearances today, the maroon tones, black tights and heels, and both sporting ponytails. It's great too that Meghan has found a comfy smock style from Club Monaco better suited to her developing figure. My only regret is that she still wants to wear such a heavy – albeit beautiful – coat loose over the top rather than a more complementary jacket style. Her Givenchy shooties are to die for, such stylish curved upper edges and that cheeky heel quiff – superb!

I agree, Ammanda, The outfit has colour, it is loose enough to fit her expanding body, it is appropriate for the event, it is modern but still befitting a royal, her legs and feet are not bare. I believe that Kate wore a similar burgundy dress, with black tights when she was pregnant with Prince Louis. Today Meghan is true to herself but rising to the expectations that a member or the BRF should exhibit.
Ella November 21, 2018 at 4:03 pm
Very pretty outfit for Meghan. This was probably one of her first royal involvements and it shows – she looks so at ease and happy in the Hubb Kitchen. I only have two not-so-fashion related quibbles, that being: personally I do not like leather products and do not buy genuine leather, so I am not a fan of goatskin boots 🙁 and I cannot get over hands in one's pockets while meeting and talking to people (especially seen in the arrival videos). But these are really more of my own pet peeves and the Duchess looks great! Also it is so good to see her working despite pregnancy (which hopefully means she is feelimg well).

I agree, this is Meghan at her best, and I think the stylish and comfortable coat and dress reflect that. The colors are wonderfully appropriate for the season and flattering on her. I hope we see this dress again during her pregnancy. While the booties are impossibly chic, I don't like them for this particular function as they are not as approachable as the other pieces she is wearing. All three occasions we have seen her with these women has been a look into genuine camaraderie and caring, and in just a short amount of time since Meghan's involvement the positive changes and endeavors they have all experienced is amazing. This is truly an instance where the effect of royal fairy dust is evident.

I love all the Community Kitchen stuff! Gonna give that recipe book away as several Christmas gifts this year! 🙂
This is a fantastic and "Duchess-y" look for Meghan. The dress and coat color combo is great. The color combo combined with the collar on the dress and the tights make it very "Duchess-y." But still remains Meghan with those fly booties. I would like to replicate this exact outfit for my Christmas parties this year! 🙂 🙂
Laurie November 21, 2018 at 12:06 pm
I love how warmly the women are greeting her and hugging her. Don't you just get the sense that they are all old friends with true connection and relationship? This is not just a project for her, it's clearly something she put her heart and friendship into.
The outfit is beautiful. Love that warm wine color on her, with that touch of velvet. She looks warm, comfortable, and chic and those booties just knock the whole thing out of the park. All the heart-eyes for the boots…if only my wallet matched my taste!
Liv November 21, 2018 at 11:57 am
Just lovely. The cause, her dedication, that positive energy coming from her and her beautiful outfit. All around goodness. Can't imagine how she could do more for this cause. And then how wonderful is it to hear that the funds gathered are already making such a difference! I feel thankful that pepper like her exist and hopeful that more will follow her example.
Bonnie November 21, 2018 at 11:19 am
Today is Meghan at her very best. Her warm, kind personality is most evident as she hugs the women and takes interest in their work. The fact that she even visited shows how much she cares.
Also her outfit is just right for the occasion. Those of us wanting to see her in a colour can enjoy this subdued, but very pretty burgundy. The coat and dress are a good style for her blossoming body and their prices are affordable. The black tights and ankle boots are great with the dress and coat and are a fine choice as the temperatures dip. Even her pony tail adds to the look, as it is casual, but stylish and hair doesn't have to be pushed out of her face.
This is the Meghan we've been waiting to see.
ElizaMo November 21, 2018 at 6:02 pm
I think Meghan must feel a lot of kinship with others from a culture foreign to the native British on, almost a fellow orphan of the storm alongside those who have lost their homes just as her own life has been turned quite upside down by marriage and early motherhood.
I was interested to discover than Meghan has now worn wine tones several times, first at the Invictus closing ceremony in Toronto, and twice on tour, once in a spotted sun dress and then a very smart Hugo Boss dress when leaving Australia. If her colours have to be all dark it is a relief when they can at least be varied a bit from black and navy.
MBStyle November 22, 2018 at 1:36 am
I think the 'almost a fellow orphan' comparison is far too generous. These families lost their homes, due to a tragic event not of their doing. Meghan chose to move to England, get married and have a family. These are two very different situations. It's great she's helping them, but in no way did her life in the US as actress or now as part of the BRF resemble their lives.
Marie November 21, 2018 at 11:09 am
Love the color – monochromatic burgundy with different textures is a smart, sophisticated alternative to navy. The boots are so flattering on her legs and have such a beautifully unique shape. Meghan looks stunning and elegant and really should be pleased for helping to save the Grenfell Kitchen.

Jordan Parks November 21, 2018 at 10:09 am
Meghan looked like she had a wonderful time at this engagement, and I think it is such an amazing cause she has decided to be apart of. The cookbook is on my Christmas wishlist 😉
Absolutely adored her look today, I think it has to be my favorite to date. Loved the berry shades and hint of velvet. Of course I am DYING over those booties!

Taliban Kills Scores Across Afghanistan in 'Biggest Terrorist Attack This Year'
At least 71 have been killed, including police and civilians, as the Islamist militant group targets government targets
Taliban militants struck government targets in many provinces of Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing at least 71 people, including a senior police commander, and wounding scores of others.
Afghanistan's deputy interior minister, Murad Ali Murad, told a press conference in Kabul that the attacks on Tuesday were the "biggest terrorist attack this year."
He said in one of the attacks, in southern Paktia province, 41 people — 21 policemen and 20 civilians — were killed when the Taliban targeted a police compound in the provincial capital of Gardez with two suicide car bombs. Scores were also wounded — 48 policemen and 110. The provincial police chief was among those killed in the Paktia attack.
Dozens of dead and wounded were taken to the city hospital, even as many more lay where they fell during the fighting, deputy public health director Hedayatullah Hameedi said.
The Taliban, seeking to re-impose strict Islamic law after their 2001 ouster by U.S.-led forces, claimed responsibility.
The militant group also attacked a district center in neighboring Ghazni province on Tuesday, detonating an armored Humvee vehicles packed with explosives near the provincial governor's office.
Provincial officials said at least 15 government security forces were killed and 12 wounded in the Ghazni attacks, with 13 civilians killed and seven wounded.
The Taliban said they had killed 31 security forces and wounded 21 in those clashes.
Despite the staggering numbers, Murad said Afghan forces are confident in their "readiness to fight terrorists and eliminate them from Afghanistan."
Fighting was also reported near local government center in Farah and Kandahar provinces.

I had the opportunity to interview Neil Mansharamani, a speechwriter at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), about what it takes to write a good speech and why he chose to be a speechwriter.
Neil has worked at the FAA for eight years as a speechwriter. Before that, he was a graduate student at the University of Maryland pursuing a Ph.D. in communications. While at the university he taught courses in public speaking and debate. He pursued speechwriting because it was an opportunity to gain some "practical experience in communication." He was also an intercollegiate debater when he was an undergraduate.
Neil was hired by the FAA after applying for what he thought would be an internship – a welcome surprise. His work includes writing speeches and talking points for executives, creating PowerPoint presentations, and
writing articles. He drafts speeches for as many as four people at a time and says that each person has a unique style that he must tailor his speeches to. Drafting a speech can be a multi-day process, as research and word choice are key when it comes to speechwriting, especially for the FAA.
Three tips for writing a speech.
1. Remember your audience.
Neil stressed that the values, beliefs and concerns of the audience are vital to the success of a speech. Knowing your audience gives you the ability to tailor the content of the speech, allowing you to engage in the most efficient way with your audience.
2. Focus on your message.
What do you want to say? Create a main message that will stick throughout the speech. The information that supports this message must also be correct, a rule taken seriously at the FAA. Neil begins his process by conducting research, and all of his speeches are fact checked again before they are completed. If the information is wrong, the speaker's credibility will be damaged.
3. Make it stylish.
This step is what brings the two previous steps together. Using style to your advantage is a point that Neil stressed throughout the interview. A speech isn't great unless it is memorable. Speeches like King's "I Have a Dream" and JFK's "Ask Not" were successful because they used effective style tools to make the point. According to Neil, devices like parallel structure and repetition are great ways to make your speech memorable to your audience.
I plan to apply these tactics when planning my own speeches and presentations. As for giving the speeches, Neil boiled it down to knowing your stuff and being confident. "People really appreciate a prepared and confident speaker."

Drama in Sacrament Meeting
Guy at the podium: We'd like to extend a release to Danny Grigg as second counselor in the Primary presidency.
Mass hysteria ensues. Children begin to wail. Parents gape at each other in disbelief. Primary teachers contemplate resigning in protest. Walls shake. Lights flash.
Congregation offers a vote of thanks.
Guy at the podium: The following individual has been called to a new position: Danny Grigg, as first counselor in the primary presidency.
Congregation: Oh.
I think most of this was in my head.

Geesh. Poor guy doesn't even know your name is DONNY, not Danny.

Hahahahaha! You're killing me. The weeping and wailing must certainly have been literal not a figment of your imagination (like the 2 raccoon tails must've been - who'd wear two?? Get real Danny!) And you were right to think twice about talking to the figment of your imagination about his two tails.
BTW, some of the uproar may have been from visitors, not knowing you, wondering why Boise Stake allows men named Danny to be in the Primary presidency. But I'm sure the primary kids wimpering would have drowned that out...
Oh and very impressive that you can get a 12:01 thought on your blog by 12:03...

Wow, pretty sweet promotion...but what is the point of that really? 2nd to 1st? Is the former 1st counselor now the 2nd counselor as well? That would be awkward to be demoted;)

Okay, yeah, I don't really get it. Why did they move you from second to first? You were too good for second? I guess that's probably it. Well congratulations on your promotion. lol

- Dani Grigg said...
explanation: 1st counselor was made YW president, primary president wanted to replace her with a lady who has 3 kids. because of the kids, the president thought I would be more available to take the president's place at meetings if necessary, so she moved me up to first and put the other lady as second. that's all.

OXNARD, Calif. -- A daily review of the hot topics coming out of Dallas Cowboys training camp:
Linebacker Rolando McClain is expected to be at Saturday's walkthrough after being found guilty of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct from an incident in April 2013. He appealed the decision and was on a plane for California after the trial.
"We've got to learn a little more about it, but I don't think it's anything that's going to keep him from playing," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said.
The Cowboys were aware of McClain's trial when they made the trade with the Baltimore Ravens. In addition to Jason Garrett speaking with Alabama coach Nick Saban, Jones spoke with Baltimore general manager Ozzie Newsome.
"I had a great visit with Ozzie, very comfortable with what he's been through," Jones said. "That's why we decided to make the decision we did."
Jones said the Cowboys will ease McClain into practice once he arrives.
The Cowboys completed their two-day ease into training camp with their second straight practice in which the offense and defense did not work against each other in drills. Jason Garrett, Jones and defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli said they liked how the players handled the work and the emphasis on fundamentals before the pads come on for Saturday's workout. "You get guys hurt the first couple days like we did last year and you look for ways to do things a little different," Jones said.
Wide receiver Dwayne Harris was one of the better kick returners in the NFL last season and will be the Cowboys' top returner this season, but the Cowboys had a cast of characters working it on Friday. Harris, who averaged 30.6 yards a return in 2013, was joined by Cole Beasley, Terrance Williams, Ben Malena, J.J. Wilcox, Devin Street, B.W. Webb, Lance Dunbar, Ryan Williams, Joseph Randle and Tim Benford in kick return drills.
The best part of training camp is getting up close to see the instruction the coaches give to the players. Secondary coach Jerome Henderson had the cornerbacks working on a walk-off release by wide receivers, telling his players to be mindful of hand placement. With receivers getting lower off the line, cornerbacks need to aim their hands at the receiver's chest to make sure they don't draw flags for illegal contact or contact to the face.
During the special teams' portion of practice, tight ends coach Mike Pope put Jason Witten through an interesting drill in which Witten tossed a ball in the air, had to catch a pass from Pope and then corral the ball he initially tossed in the air. Once he mastered that, Pope had him do the same with his back to the coach, toss the ball, turn around and have to catch both passes. Later on Dez Bryant and DeMarco Murray joined in the drill.

4 Dowry Place, Hotwells,
is the fourth property from the right
The National Registration Act of July 1915 required men aged between of 15 and 65 and not already in the military to register, giving details of their employment. Subsequent to this, Lord Derby, Director-General of Recruiting, brought forward the Group Scheme (often called the Derby Scheme) of recruitment in October 1915.
Bristol newspapers kept the topic of recruitment before their readers and the following article extract explains local arrangements:
The Bristol Recruiting Committee, in company with other recruiting authorities throughout the country, have, during the past few days, been giving serious attention to Lord Derby's scheme – the final scheme as it is thought – for securing by voluntary means the men needed to keep our armies in the field up to strength. Briefly it means that all men of military age not starred, i.e., not engaged on munitions, aeroplane, or other Government work, are to be personally canvassed and urged to join the colours. Also, that the canvass is to be carried out by civilians under the auspices the Local Parliamentary Recruiting Committees, or where such does not exist, the political agents of the district.Under the Group Scheme, men aged 18 to 40 were informed that they could continue to enlist voluntarily or attest with an obligation to come if called up later on. A period of notice would be given to all such men before they were called up to join, so that they might wind up business affairs.
As is well known the Bristol Recruiting Committee has been in existence since August, 1914, to deal with schemes of this description, and they have delegated their duties connected with the carrying out of Lord Derby's scheme to a sub-committee consisting of the various political agents who are already members of the Committee, and also representatives of the Labour party. We understand that steps have been taken to put the canvass into operation at once.
Western Daily Press - Wednesday 20 October 1915
Voluntary enlistment under the scheme was to have ceased at midnight on Saturday 11 December 1915. As this date approached so there was a great rush of recruits.
Western Daily Press - Friday 10 December 1915
GREAT WAVE OF PATRIOTISMNo one could have imagined such a rush of recruits for the Reserve as occurred yesterday, and but for the magnificent accommodation the Colston Hall afforded and the perfection of the organisation, might well have been hopeless chaos. As soon as the doors were open the rush began, and duirng the morning the throng was so great that there was hardly standing room in the great hall and the corridors. For time the doors had to be closed and the men let in in batches, but by strenuous efforts the great staff of helpers met all demands, and by nine o'clock last night the actual enlistment figures made the previous highest number for one day look commonplace.
It would be difficult to find, anywhere in the country, hall more suitable for such a purpose as the Colston Hall, and as we have said, the whole work has been wonderfully well organised. In addition to a large staff of military men, voluntary helpers have responded to the call most generously. All classes have joined in the work. One could see hard at work last night prominent citizens and heads of well-known firms sitting side by side with men in humble walks of life. Ex-policemen were lending a hand, pensioners from Government departments, and the energetic and business-like Boy Scout was here, there, and everywhere. The hon. secretary's office was just a whirlwind of inquiries, and the telephone bell survived one of the severest tests such an apparatus has ever been called upon to bear.
Yesterday, of course, there were hundreds from the countryside who took advantage of market day to make good their claim to an armlet. The prospect of missing the chance to wear this symbol of true patriotism was too much for hundreds of young farmers and farmhands, and so they flocked in, and for an hour or so during the morning gave the Recruiting Staff about as hard job as could be imagined. It seems likely that the number of Reserve men marked off for Bristol to supply will not only be achieved but exceeded. Just now it seems as though every available man was rolling up, and the few who after Saturday night realise too late that they have failed their duty, will very likely be the saddest men the city.
|Colston Hall, Bristol, c1915 [source]
Recruiting officers have also been instructed to make a list of men who apply for attestation under the group system today or to-morrow whom it is found impossible to attest before midnight to-morrow (December 12). Men on such lists on presenting themselves at the same recruiting office up to and including Wednesday next will be considered on the same footing for attestation under the group system as men dealt with this week.Men who attested under the Group Scheme, who were accepted for service and chose to defer it were classified as being in "Class A". Those who agreed to immediate service were "Class B". The Class A men were paid a day's army pay for the day they attested; were given a grey armband with a red crown as a sign that they had so volunteered; were officially transferred into Section B Army Reserve; and were sent back to their homes and jobs until they were called up. (More detail on the Group Scheme can be found on 'The Long, Long Trail' web site).
If should be clearly understood by every available man, especially single men at present unattested, that the opportunity afforded carries with it equal responsibility to present himself to-day or to-morrow, and add to the volume of evidence now presented to other nations – allied, neutral, and hostile – that the determination of the country resolute prosecute the war to victorious conclusion.
The Western Daily Press of Monday 13 December noted that "there was no lack of enthusiasm in the streets of the city on Saturday morning, and the wearing of the khaki armlet obtained by the fortunate 5,000 Bristol men who were quick to snap them up in the early days of last week was much more general than before." The following day the paper also noted with satisfaction "that the historic scenes at the Colston Hall during the closing stages of enlistment for Lord Derby's scheme have been photographed, so there will be a permanent memento of the aspect of the great recruiting station (Colston Hall)."
It was amidst this period of patriotic fervour that William Britton applied for attestation under the Group Scheme. Born in 1895, and just 20 years old, William as a single man fell into Group 3. On Monday 20 December 1915, under the headline "First Call to Single Men!", the Western Daily Press published news that four groups had been called up by Official Proclamation:
Arrangements have now been completed for the calling up of Groups 2, 3, and 5 of men who have been attested and classified Army Reserve, Section B. The public poster is dated to-day (Monday). It authorises the calling up of the above groups, and constitutes public notification to the men in those groups that their services will required. Further, it draws attention to the fact that, under the Army Act, the public exhibition of the poster is sufficient warning to the men concerned, even they do not receive an individual notice paper.The men were required to commence to present themselves for actual service on 20 January 1916. To reduce pressure on recruiting offices and depots, the men were drafted gradually into service, some summoned on 20 January, another batch summoned for the 21st, and so forth.
Service records for William Edward Britton do not appear to have survived, however researching those of others with a service number close to William's suggest that he was mobilized on 21 January 1916. Two days later, on 23 January, he was posted to the 16th (Reserve) Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment as Private 26208, for training. Twelve weeks later, on 12 April, William was posted to the 13th (Service) Battalion (Forest of Dean) (Pioneers) Gloucestershire Regiment.

Every now and then an incident where the voices of ordinary people are by officialdom catches my eye. And let us not forget, given the difficulty and costs connected with organizing resistance to the edicts and regulations issued by the different levels of government, from the EU down to the village/city/ward, only a very small number of worthwhile causes ever make it to receive proper backing by the citizens that are affected. Introduction of mandatory Direct Democracy on all levels of Government would put power back where it belongs - to the citizens!

1) I have a quadro fx 3500 card it has a 6 pin & 3 pin male can it connect to 4 pin female power supply?
2) I only have one space left on my power supply & 2 connections from the card how do I get a 2nd or is 1 connection to the power plugs sufficant?
How about posting the brand name of the card plus the make/model/wattage of your power supply? Did you try reading the manual for the card to see what the connectors are for? A 3-pin male is usually for a cooling fan. If you connect power to it, you'll likely damage the card.
I looked for info about Quadro FX 3500 cards and found no manuals, except for Quadro models FX 3700 and higher (see below)
The card requires a recommended 350 watt capacity or higher power supply .
Are you by any chance trying to get this card to work in a system that has a power supply with a lot less than 350 watts capacity ?
There is a black plastic shrouded connector at the back of the card.
You can see 3 pins going into it from the board. It could also have 3 more pins directly below those, so, 6 total.
It's probably a socket for a standard 6 pin PCI-E connector, in which case, if the power supply has a PCI-E 6 pin connector, you would plug that into it . If the PS doesn't have that 6 pin connector you need to use a wiring adapter with the socket.

It does NOT mention FX 3500, but it mentions FX 3700 which is probably similar.
It shows what the 6 pin to molex connectors wiring adapter looks like when plugged into the black socket.
Do you have one of those ?
If you don't, it's probably a standard PCI-E 6 pin connector on one end, two molex (male pins) connectors on the other end.
The PCI-E socket / your graphics card does not require extra +5 v power, so the molex connectors often have only 3 (male) pins and no red (+5 v) wire.
If you DO have one of those,
- you could try the card connected to only one larger molex connector from the PS to see what happens. If you connect only one monitor to the card that may work fine.
- if you have problems when only one larger molex is connected, buy a standard Y wiring adapter - two larger female molex on one end (the metal ends on the wires are female) , one larger male molex on the other end (the metal ends on the wires are male)
and use that with your drives - they don't need much power (current) - to free up one more spare larger molex connector for the PCI-E 6 pin to two molex connector wiring adapter - that WILL work fine with the card, for sure.
I have no idea what the other 3 pin connector is you're talking about - it's NOT for power, unless you're talking about the molex connectors on the PCI-E to two molex connevtor wiring adapter having 3 pins instead of 4, which is common..
The PCI-E socket / your graphics card does not require extra +5 v power, so the molex connectors often have only 3 (male) pins and no red (+5 v) wire.
The fan on the cards I've looked at have 2 pin connectors on a 2 pin header on the card, not 3 / 3.
I bought a used pny quadro fx fx 3500, it came with a connection with 6 pin on the side connected to the graphic card.on the other side it has to 3 pin (3 male & 1 empty hole).
My Power Supply is 500 watt EZ Cool ATX-500, socket 775. My Motherboard is a Gigabyte "GS31M-GS" with a quad 9550, XP, & 5 Gig Ram
Could this other connector be an audio connector? Some video cards, especially ones having HDMI outputs have a digital audio input for the HDMI combined output.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Thank you
I realizied that my 500 watt power supply is a P4 ATX so it is the right cable that came with the card (3 male and 1 empty to connect to my Power Supply)
"it came with a connection with 6 pin on the side connected to the graphic card.on the other side it has to 3 pin (3 male & 1 empty hole). "
Read response 2 !!!
The PCI-E 6 pin to molex wiriing adapter only needs three out of the four pins in the molex connector.
The two molex connectors rather than one are required to fully support the same max amperage specs as a PCI-E 6 pin connector that's connected directly to the power supply.
If your PCI-E 6 pin to molex wiring adapter came with the card ORIGINALLY and has only one molex connector (3 male pins) rather than two of them, that should work fine with one molex connector (4 female pins) from the power supply.
If your PCI-E 6 pin to molex wiring adapter DID NOT come with the card, or if you're not sure whether it did, if the card doesn't work properly connected to the one molex connector from the PS, you need to get a standard one that has two molex connectors (male pins) , and the one molex (male pins) to two molex (female pins) Y wiring adapter.

To the editor: Until now, toxocariasis has generally been treated with diethylcarbamazine and thiabendazole. However, the results obtained with these two drugs in humans have remained unconvincing and variable. Clinical improvement and shortening of convalescence have been reported (1-3), but eosinophilia usually has persisted (1, 2). In this report, we present a case of toxocariasis treated with mebendazole.
A 23-year-old woman had had pain in the right upper abdomen and epigastrium associated with loss of appetite for 2 years. Her symptoms had developed after she bought a puppy that was never dewormed. Laboratory tests showed hyperleukocytosis, eosinophilia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and increased

ADRIAN, Michigan – Sophomore Nate Rogers and Senior Michael Romund scored 55 seconds apart to help lead the MSOE Hockey team to a 3-1 victory over #8 Adrian.
The Raiders (10-12-4, #4 NCHA-S) took down #8 Adrian (18-7-1, #1 NCHA-S) Friday evening, at Arrington Ice Arena, in the first game of the NCHA tournament series between the #1 and #4 seeded teams.
Fans thought they were going to see the first goal of the evening as Sophomore Adam Ostrowski hit the pipe 2:33 into the game after Sophomore Stian Owens won a faceoff to set up the shot. However, the fans would have to wait. Both teams were feeling each other out as they skated to a scoreless first period.
Things started to heat up in the second period as both shots and penalties started to add up. The Raiders would light the lamp first. Sophomore Nate Rogers would finish off a nice pass from Freshman Brandon Turer at 8:54. The fans would not have to wait long as Senior Michael Romund scored off a nice assist from Sophomore Will Gauthier and Junior Zack Davis at 9:49.
Adrian would not go away quietly as Braden Hellems finished off a nice setup from Cory Dunn and Dino Balsamo at 13:09. The second period ended with MSOE leading 2-1.
The third period was surely going to provide an exciting conclusion. As Adrian pushed forward to score an equalizer, MSOE started to capitalize on their patience and game awareness. The Raiders found themselves in favorable match-ups numerous times, but could not rip the net. However, at 15:43, Sophomore Jeff Makowski stole a pass from Adrian and found himself one on one with the goalie. His initial shot was saved, but he was there to put in the rebound for a much-needed short-handed goal.
Sophomore Rock Boynton tended the net and saved 31 of 32 shots faced and the defense provided the much needed support to hold of the Bulldogs.
The Raiders return to the ice for the second game of the series, Saturday at 2:05pm in Adrian, Michigan.

Andre Sheppy 14th Aug '17 - 04:10
I didn't read much. Compared to telivision and movies, reading was too black and white, and oh, did I love 'color'? I fancy Angeline's reality. She mentioned and suggested what I was looking for, such as "speaking to myself," "televison" and "dreams."
Just one thing absent in her praise for "the written word," though; that's how viscious words can be. Darts, arrows, spears, bullets, bombs and such the like; words can be so.

Running since 1986, Tippmann has spent over thirty years at the top of the manufacturing game, making paintball markers and accessories to keep up with their fast-paced, demanding customers, whose eye for quality has been pushing the quality and demand for Tippman products steadily upwards.
After a merger in 2014, Tippmann was gathered under the GI Sportz conglomerate that includes Tippman, V-Force and GI Sportz goods. In the same year, Tippmann branched out into Airsoft products, storming into the lucrative Airsoft market. Also in 2014 (a truly great year for the Tippmann Company) the company launched the Tactical Compact Rifle, also known as the TCR, for competitive use in paintball. The superior model became an industry favourite soon after its release onto the market. The majority of Tippmann's products, particularly recent outstanding models such as these, are made in the USA, specifically in Fort Wayne in the state of Indiana. The made in the United States label is of prime importance to Tippmann, which prides itself on American values of fair play, hard work, excellence and innovation.
