Diane Keaton has a look like no one else's, and it somehow never gets old.
"I like fashion because it's kind of playtime," says the 67-year-old Annie Hall Oscar winner. "I don't think about it a lot – I'll just go in there and try something. I like picking and choosing. It's the editor in me."
Some things that make her cut:
Pockets: Pockets are my life! I do not carry a bag ever, because I hate it. It keeps my hands free, I can move around, so I always have deep pockets. Basically I wear bulk.
Expert tailoring: I like Ralph Lauren's. I'm interested in tailoring because when you have a body like mine, without shoulders, you don't really have much of a silhouette.
Hints of color: Colors as accessories punch more. If it's the whole show, count me out. I don't want to be in that show. I mean, do you?
Suits: I still feel really comfortable in pants and a jacket, and I don't feel comfortable in a skirt. Although I've kind of made dresses work for me because of tights.
Gloves: It just adds a little something.
A smile: As you get older, there are certain things you can show off – your attitude and how you feel ... the smile. Because it reflects warmth. Warmth is really a plus when you're older.
The perfect hat: I've collected hats over the years. A hat room? Of course I don't have a hat room! Do you think I live in a palace, with my hat room? I live in a Connecticut-y house. One closet, no hat room.

A Little goes a long way
October 19, 2011
Sam Little leads the Challenger Tour Order of Merit with one tournament to go after winning the Roma Golf Open in Italy.
Having already regained his card for the main tour next year, Little claimed his third victory in four competitions with a sudden-death play-off victory over Pelle Edberg.
The Englishman looked to be running out of holes at the Olgiata Golf Club but he holed an approach shot from 104 yards for an eagle three on the par five 15th and followed that with a chip-in birdie on the 16th.
He said: "I'm delighted. To be going into the Grand Final as the No. 1 is incredible."

Punk'd meets Punky Brewster this Mother's Day – and 100 moms are benefiting.
Ashton Kutcher and Soleil Moon Frye took to their Twitter pages to announce a contest offering free goods to deserving moms being organized by Frye, the actress who also co-owns the organic children's store The Little Seed.
The competition called for women to send in stories about being mothers. "We Twittered to everyone in our community and received an outpouring of emotional stories," Frye, who teamed up with Scandinavian Child, Kate Quinn Organics and Serena & Lily for the giveaway. "I read these stories and I was just weeping."
The result? "We were so moved by the stories that we couldn't pick just one winner," says Frye, who spent Friday before Mother's Day wrapping the gifts, including Svan bouncers and scooters made of sustainable birch wood. "Everyone who shared their story is going to get a gift."
As for her own Mother's Day gift, Frye already received it: two handmade cards from her daughters Poet, 3 1/2, and Jagger, 14 months. "I love having one baby on the hip while running after another!" says Frye, who is married to producer Jason Goldberg. "I'm literally the mom who trips over her own feet walking out the door. But that's part of the charm of being a mom. My household is abundant
with joy."

Up from Down Under, Heartthrob Mel Gibson Lives Dangerously—but Only in the Movies
Until his latest film most Americans knew Gibson only from his Aussie movie roles—the Redfordish soldier in Peter Weir's Gallipoli and the Bogart-tough biker in George Miller's futuristic Mad Max and its sequel, The Road Warrior. In Dangerously, again directed by Weir, Gibson is a journalist covering the fall of Sukarno in Indonesia in 1965. Raved the New York Times: "If this film doesn't make an international star of Mel Gibson, nothing will."
All of which leaves Gibson extremely nervous. Perhaps it's the astonishing dichotomy between the image and the man. For example, he's not nearly as fearless as his screen persona. In Manila for five weeks to film Dangerously, the rugged actor admits he was "jumpy" and "frightened" when he received a death threat from Muslims who apparently feared that the film would make Indonesia, a Muslim nation, look bad. "My bodyguard, a huge Filipino with a .38-cal. pistol under his shirt, used to follow me around town," Gibson remembers. Gibson was relieved when Weir pulled the crew back to Australia to finish shooting.
Offscreen, the lover-boy persona doesn't fit too snugly either. Gibson wore built-up shoes to work with the 5'11" Weaver and is reluctant to discuss the film's sex scenes. "It's a touchy thing with actors," he explains. Weaver has a better answer. "Mel is shy," she says, "and he's also a devoted family man." Due to his self-imposed veil of privacy, Gibson's marriage three years ago to Robyn, 26, comes as a surprise to many of his fans. So do the couple's three children—daughter Hannah, 3, and twin boys, born eight months ago. Actress Linda Hunt (see following story), who co-stars in Dangerously, sums up Gibson this way: "Mel is committed to his roots. He's very Australian."
Well, not exactly. Mel was born in Peekskill, N.Y., the sixth of 11 children—he has five brothers and five sisters. "My parents were gluttons for punishment," he jokes. The family moved to Australia when he was 12 after his father, a railroad worker, won a large settlement for a job injury. Though he retains his American citizenship, Gibson calls Australia home: "I think of myself as an Aussie."
After attending Catholic school in Sydney, Mel enrolled in the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Art. He landed his first movie role, Mad Max, soon after graduation in 1977, in spite of a barroom brawl the night before his audition that left his face looking "like a busted grapefruit." Other roles in film and theater followed quickly. After shooting was completed on Dangerously, Gibson turned down Hollywood jobs in The Lords of Discipline and Once Upon a Time in America (with Robert De Niro) in order to keep a Sydney stage commitment in Death of a Salesman.
For now, Gibson is happiest staying put in Australia with his family. They've just purchased an old boarding house on the sea that Mel says "still has the numbers on the doors." He stays in shape by running and "eating sensibly," though Robyn says, "His real exercise is lifting babies." Given the low salaries paid to Australian actors, Gibson is even beginning to rationalize his buildup as a worldwide sex symbol. "After all," he adds with a cheeky grin, "it's good for business, now, isn't it?"
For tiny Linda Hunt, the role of a lifetime was a real role reversal
If The Year of Living Dangerously establishes Mel Gibson as Australia's answer to Robert Redford, it also serves as a launching pad for a remarkable New York actress named Linda Hunt. At 4'9" and 80 pounds, Hunt's roles have been somewhat circumscribed by her height. "On one level my size has nothing to do with me," says Hunt, 37. "But on another, it's got everything to do with what I do."
Still, even Linda was shocked when director Peter Weir cast her in Dangerously as a man. And unlike Dustin Hoffman's stunt in Tootsie, the audience is never in on the charade. Hunt's character, Billy Kwan, is a Chinese-Australian cameraman, a dwarf who instigates the torrid romance between journalist Gibson and British Embassy official Sigourney Weaver. Even the toughest critics have praised her sensitive portrayal of a man with big dreams trapped inside a small body. Though Hunt was scared of the part at first and tried unsuccessfully to convince Weir to turn Kwan into a woman, she found a core feeling to relate to. "I know about that character because I'm the same size," she says. "But being that small must be even harder for a man."
Hunt got the role just weeks before the film was scheduled to begin shooting a year ago. Weir had already cast an Australian male for the part, but he was dissatisfied with his performance in rehearsals. After flying to L.A. and New York to interview replacements, he was shown a close-up picture of Linda—and then told it was a woman. "I almost fell on the floor," says Weir. "Her test was absolutely brilliant."
Once filming started in the Philippines, Linda ran into problems, mainly because with her closely cropped hair and body makeup, which took an hour and a half every day to apply, she looked like a man both on and off the set. "I once ordered room service in the hotel," she remembers, "and when the bellboy kept saying, 'Yes, sir, yes, sir,' I dissolved into tears. That also happened once in a restaurant." On the set, Weir insisted that everyone call her Phipps—her middle name and one he felt would cause the other actors less confusion about playing opposite a woman who was supposed to be a man.
Born in Morristown, N.J., the younger of two daughters, Linda grew up in Connecticut. In 1962 she studied at Michigan's Interlochen Arts Academy. After working with acting coaches in Chicago and New York, Linda appeared in 18 stage productions, mostly off Broadway. Her only previous film experience was a bit role in Robert Alt-man's Popeye.
Hunt lives alone in New York City, in a studio apartment with no pets or plants because "I'd feel guilty—I'd never be home long enough to take care of them. When I get the big bucks," she proclaims, "I'll get a house in the country." She is now appearing off Broadway as Joan of Arc in Little Victories and will soon play the legendary Pope Joan in Top Girls. Her success in Dangerously may give her type-casting problems. She has already been asked to play a man again—in a new play on Toulouse-Lautrec. Hunt is ready for any challenge. "My dream is to be able to play anything," she says. "I know that's the standard actor's dream, but I'm serious about it."

This file and post are outdated. The new file download is here, now at Heavengames.com:
This patch aims to balance the game and bring spice back into the game without changing the way AOE3 is played.
Greetings to all who read!
I am proud to announce that the overall coding of N3O FP 1.3 is finished. Testing with online compatability is still needed, but should work. As the reason of this patch, I, as the coder, have intended to bring all the useless units back in the game, fix all the remaining supremacy, deathmatch and treaty problems with the civs, based on the Age Sanctuary FP 1.2 Team's original work, and bring fun back into the game that was lost during balance, while retaining the balance of the game. In this, I bring much of the spice back into the game, such as European and Asian Warships having +50% HP, -50% to -60% speed, +1 Splash damage, and more range for shorter ranged warships, cheaper canoes, realistic Ironclad Warships (1 Build Limit though), a Galleon unit for the Native American civs (a Buccaneer Ship), having artillery do more damage in general against cavalry, boosting heavy artillery units such as Heavy Cannons, Great Bombards, and Rockets range and damage, fixing small issues such as making skirmisher units slightly faster, making musketeers do less ranged damage, having Halberdiers be a bit faster, fix Indian Elephant problems, fix Indian Mansabdars, Indian Early game and Lategame, fix Iroquois Early, Midgame and Early game by making Mantlets and Rams Cheaper and modifying the Iroquois Big Button Techs, by giving the Iroquois a 1300 wood card and making Longhouses give an XP Trickle to compensate, which increases every age; boosting Sioux Tashunke Prowlers and the Marauders Card, fixing the Aztec Military, fixing of European Church Techs, and so on.
Many of the balance changes were help from the N3O clan, and many ideas were around the community and many were my own. As long as both players have the same version of the patch, they can play rated games - online, or LAN, together.

Phone scammers targeting Santa Ana businesses, residents
SANTA ANA – Scammers posing as Southern California Edison employees are targeting Santa Ana businesses and residents as part of a large-scale criminal operation, according to authorities.
The scammers phone victims and tell them their Edison accounts are delinquent, adding that their electrical service will be terminated unless they make a payment immediately with Green Dot Moneypak cards, Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
So far, local business owners have been swindled out of more than $2,600 and at least six Santa Ana residents have been contacted by the scammers in the past two months, Bertagna said.
In March 2013, the same scammers stole more than $30,000 from business owners in Santa Ana as part of a large-scale nationwide criminal operation, he said.
Santa Ana police detectives are working with Edison officials to investigate the scam.
A preliminary investigation has determined many of the prior bogus calls are originating from the East Coast which makes it difficult to follow up on as well as prosecute, Bertagna said.
As a precaution, individuals should never give out personal information to anyone over the phone, Bertagna said.
Anyone who has been a victim of the scam should contact Santa Ana police at 1-855-TIPOCCS.

Natural Remedies for Baby Eczema
Babies are known for having super soft skin and women everywhere would love to have skin like a baby's once again. But what if your baby is having some skin problems? What can you do?
If your baby is suffering from eczema, you know how uncomfortable the itchy and dry skin can be, not to mention the sore spots. Since eczema usually goes hand in hand with sensitive skin, treating it can be a bit of a challenge. Thankfully there are quite a few home remedies for baby eczema you can try.
Keeping baby's skin well moisturized should always be the first step in any eczema treatment. Use a natural aloe Vera lotion several times a day, especially after bathing baby. Reapply as often as need to keep baby's skin from drying out. Avoid any harsh cleansers and make sure baby is getting plenty to drink to moisturize from the inside out as well. Incidentally breastfed babies experience fewer and milder episodes of eczema.
** My children have sensitive skin, and we've used this product for over five years with excellent results. We use this Apricot Oil by Burt's Bees year-round. In the winter, we like to apply this oil (mixed 50/50 with Burt's Bees Baby Bee Skin Creme) as soon as we pop out of the shower to seal in moisture. It works like a charm! It's great by itself as an after-shower oil in the summertime as well. **
Oatmeal Bath
When baby's skin gets very itchy, an oatmeal bath can be very soothing and help skin heal. Put two cups of oats in a food processor (or use a coffee grinder) and grind them into a powder. Add the oatmeal powder to a running bath of warm (not hot) water and stir well. Soak in the oatmeal bath for 15 minutes, rinse with clean water and dab the skin dry with a soft towel. When baby's eczema breakouts are bad, it is safe to sooth them with an oatmeal bath twice daily.
Natural Skin Wash
As mentioned above, you want to avoid any harsh skin care for baby. The following natural skin wash is very gently and helps with the itch. Combine 1 tsp of comfrey root, 1 tsp of white oak bark, 1 tsp of slippery elm bark and two cups of water in a bowl. Mix well, and then pour it into a pot. Heat over medium heat until it comes to a boil, and then simmer for thirty minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, then strain out the solids and use the liquid like any face wash.
While this mixture may not completely clear up baby's eczema, it is a natural, gentle and effective cleanser that will help reduce the itching and inflammation.
** This skin creme by Burt's Bees is a "must-have" in our family. There is no way we could survive our dry winters without it! **
Healing Lotions
When eczema really flares up, you want to get baby's skin healed back up as soon as possible. Healing lotions can help shorten the healing time and moisturize and protect your skin from future outbreaks at the same time.
Lotions to look for ate those made with blueberry leaves. Blueberry leaves are very good at relieving the inflammation of eczema and at improving the irritation that accompanies itching.
Zinc is another great ingredient. Apply zinc lotion directly on the affected area. Zinc can also be taken as a supplement in pills. Taking regularly, it can be an effective eczema treatment.
To help heal the skin, use a lotion containing vitamin E, or apply vitamin E oil directly on the affected area. It will quickly reduce itching and improve healing. Continue applying the vitamin E oil until the skin is healed.

Mediterranean Style Bean Wrap
You need:
1 whole wheat tortilla
1 tbsp hummus (I used roasted garlic)
1/4 cup refried beans (I used Taco Bell's)
1/4 cup black beans
1 tbsp fresh salsa
Handful of pita chips on side served with 2 tbsp Seven Layer Dip or salsa of your choice
1. Wrap the tortilla in a paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds. Alternately you can also warm up the tortilla on a griddle.
2. Warm up the beans. You can even use just refried beans or black beans. I just like to blend different textures and flavors.
3. Spread the hummus on the tortilla. Spread a layer of beans and top it with salsa. Wrap it or make a burrito.
4. Serve it with pita chips and salsa on side. I had some seven layer dip so I added a couple of tbsps of that as well.

Fenway West interviewed Joe Smith of the St. Petersburg Times to get ready for the series with the Tampa Bay Rays.
FW: Do you think the Rays can make a run at the wild-card or possibly win the division?
FW: Ben Zobrist is hitting .300 with 19 HRs on the year, not many thought he would produce at this level this early in his Major League career. Will he keep it up in the second half?
Joe Smith: I think he will. Zobrist has definitely surprised a lot of people, but it's not necessarily a fluke. If you ask manager Joe Maddon, he'll tell you that Zobrist has the best at-bats, day in and day out, of anyone on the Rays. Zobrist works so hard at it, and has done well making adjustments when pitchers have approached him differently. It's amazing to think he might have not gotten this full-time spot at second base – maybe no All-Star selection – if it hadn't been for the unfortunate injury to 2B Akinori Iwamura in May.
FW: Why didn't the Rays make a big move at the deadline?
Joe Smith: Believe me, the Rays tried to make a move. They made some calls on Roy Halladay, Victor Martinez, as well as some potential under-the-radar moves. But they also have limited flexibility financially, with their payroll, so they had to be smart with what they did – because it would impact them the next few years. In reality, DH Pat Burrell was the equivalent of their deadline moves. He their biggest offseason acquisition, at two years, $16 million, but hasn't produced like he has throughout his entire career. The Rays did sign RHP reliever Jeff Bennett, who was released by the Braves, but that was the extent of their moves. They feel confident the guys in the clubhouse now are capable of making a run.
Joe Smith: I don't think there's anything like that to speak of. There was a little last year, but with Crisp out of Boston, and it being a year since it all transpired, both teams are more focused on the task at hand – making the playoffs. There will always be a good rivalry between the two, considering they play 18 times a year, and especially if their meetings continue to mean something. But I don't think there's any bad blood, at least from what I can tell.
FW: What is your prediction for this short series with Boston?
Joe Smith: I've seen enough baseball games to know how difficult is to predict on individual matchups, but these should be two close games. There's a great pitching matchup in Tuesday's game with Matt Garza- Jon Lester, a rematch of Game 7 of the ALCS. The Red Sox have been swinging the bats well, but Garza always seems to be at his best when he faces Boston. Should be an interesting two games, that's for sure.

FIVE years on, it appears Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potter have grown up together. When the child actor was unveiled as the world's most famous boy wizard, he was an 11-year-old whose conversation scarcely stretched beyond the intricacies of the World Wrestling Federation.
Now, four films later, Radcliffe has grown in the real world and developed a taste for the weighty novels of Emile Zola and the music of Pete Doherty's former band, the Libertines.
And as Harry has his first screen love interest in fellow Hogwarts pupil Cho Chang, played by Scottish actress Katie Leung, 18, it appears Radcliffe's tastes run to the more mature Hollywood stars, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman.
As in the pages of JK Rowling's global best-sellers, where Harry Potter has grown from enchanted child to a recalcitrant teenager, so Radcliffe revealed to the world's press yesterday that he, too, has undergone his own transformation. At a press conference to promote Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth film in the franchise, he said his new-found maturity mirrored his characters.
The latest instalment sees the characters mature into adolescence, with Harry falling for Cho Chang. "It makes it easier to play Harry because I've been going through all the hormone stuff like Harry has relatively recently, so it's fresh in my mind. In fact, it continues," he said.
While insisting there was no young lady in his life, he did admit to preferences for future co-stars. "I watched Garden State ... and fell in love with Natalie Portman. So it would either be her or Scarlett Johansson."
It was the film's producer, however, who revealed that his young star's literary tastes had matured in recent years. David Heyman said: "When I first met Daniel we spent an awful lot of time talking about the Worldwide Wrestling Federation, and now Dan is reading Zola."
He also has broader musical tastes. "I like Hard-Fi and the Libertines, and I went to the Reading Festival this year for the first time. It's so cool," he said.
He went on: "For me, I only feel famous for two days a year and that's at the premiere. Having said that, there's a possibility that might change when I'm 18. Maybe the paparazzi have been going easy on us."

|« Can double digit economic growth save the regime in Ethiopia? Experts say no
|Ethiopian Journalist Alleges Detention for Inciting Egypt-Style Protests »
A manual for dismantling dictatorship in Ethiopia available in Amharic
The New York Times had a lead story about a U.S. Intellectual whose book is credited in launching people power movements including those in Tunisia and Egypt. His name is Gene Sharp and he is an 83 year old American intellectual who lives in brick row house in a working-class neighborhood in Boston. His book "From Dictatorship to Democracy," a 93-page guide to toppling autocrats, is available for download in 24 languages including in Ethiopia's official and most widely spoken language of Amharic.
Thanks to the contribution of volunteers, his work has been translated in to Amharic and Tigrigna. The guide is available for free to download and it is in the public domain and may be reproduced without permission from Gene Sharp. Citation of the source, and notification to the Albert Einstein Institution for the reproduction, translation, and reprinting of this publication, are appreciated.
His writings advocate for a non-violent struggle against tyranny. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt had his book posted on its website, says the New York Times. His website has 198 Methods of Nonviolent Action.
Here is the Amharic translation of the guide. The English version is here.

I believe this is the right time and the most appropriate way to go!!!
The issue here is not to read or to talk how to bring a rigim change. The main question is who is really willing to sacrifice his life for the desired result.
A lot of Looser Diaspora barked from a distance. I just want to see which dog has the courage and adaucitiy to realy bite the "enemy".
I am sick and tired of "Akaki Zeraf" from a distance.
"Yesenf welaj Tastawikalech
"Afaf lay koma tew shish tilalech" ale azmariw.
Which Diaspora looser is going to burn himself at Meskel square first?
My guess is Al Mariam himself. How about you guys? Let's see.
God Bless Ethiopia!!
No regime that is unelected and unpopular can survive and will eventually fall. Ethiopians do not need manuals to bring an end to this government it's doing a good job of shooting itself in the foot. The price of food and inflation will eventually push people past the fear barrier that the regime has has propped itself up with.
The regime has to understand that what Ethiopians hate are not the individuals or their ethnic groups but their unreasonable policies and biased application of the law that has enriched a few while impoverishing the masses. It is never too late to change, our country does not have to go through the discomfort and uncertainty of another revolution. It is about time the regime made genuine concessions and much needed reforms so that we can all uplift our country together.
If Mubarak the Pharaoh is expendable, Meles the Neguse Negest can surely be discarded. The regime should not bank on it's international connections after all its position is far precarious than the oil rich sheiks of the middle east whose oil the world cannot do without. Ethiopia is at this point nothing more than a money pit to the western world and Meles could easily be abandoned in a bid for the world to cleanse its guilt for not standing firmly with the protesters in north Africa and Middle East. As proof for my theory watch how fast the allies will abandon and sacrifice Musevini in Uganda once the opposition comes out against him next week. Just as Tunisia was the launching pad for the Arab world Uganda will be the first domino of Sub Saharan Africa!
I don't know you guys, why you are interesting to oust Meles from dc. Egyptians made it from Tahrir that is in cairo, but u are barking like old dog in the white house. Do u think r u gonne do it even if u were in addis? No, you are all bunch of wolves & dreaming destablizing your own country while u are living by food stumps. Comeon fellas be mature enough to know the situation of ethiopia. God bless EPRDF & pm Meles's family.
So What!
I don't care if there are a thousand manuals in Amharic or even French for that matter.
Neftenias will just read it, and then talk about it, dream about it, but never actually use it….kkkkk
Parking lot heads, ….guess you now got some way to kill time while you wait in your booths.
there is a demonstration on February 25th in Addis Abeba and Dredawa so lets support our people.

Let us see now. Woyanes are armed and they have been so even before they entered Addis ABEBA some 20 years ago.
In the span of those years, they have repeatedly massacred unarmed Ethiopians in cold blood. Woyanes, who have a large pool of Tgre speakers who are armed and conveniently assigned to neighborhoods to spy and carry out murders if and when they see any sign of revolt against their Woyanes .
I say no peaceful protest will work in Woyane/Tgre land. I say only a full-scale hand to hand fight is called here. Oh, I am not naive here. I know they are armed here, but we have no choice. We have to pass our country to our children,like our ancestry did in Adwa and Maichew against the same bandas we have today.

Sherap shut your stinky mouth. You r all crack head stupid reminants of derg. First of all before u open ur mouth u have to respect EPRDF & PM MELES for all their effort to build & reconstracting ethiopia. Then let me tell you that do you know Ethiopia & it's 3000 years old history are worthless with out tigray & tigrigna speakers? But we had saw ur fuedals & masters broke up ethiopia into many & especially the brave tigrigna speaker in to two. We never denied u, but you denied us by splitting into two during your grand pa, ur pa & ur uncl's period. that time during ur oldfox leader was started the backed up life & development of ethiopia started. If u want to know detail u can refer to the book called the fate of ethiopia found in AAU. So before anything you start to speak pls give respect to this hard worker, peace lover people. So we do want to ride back to the old 19thC neftegna's rule. Because we they did sleep ethiopia for 100 years. Long live EPRDF & PM MELES.

At least that's what his manager, Ed Soares, told SporTV in Brazil, based on a translation provided by Bloody Elbow.
If that is truly the case, who are the four ideal opponents "The Spider" should face off against before he decides to hang the gloves up?
Let's take a look at what fights Silva would sign on the dotted line for—in an ideal world, that is.

The Chowder Rule 189 commentsOct 30, 2013 6:42 AM
I notice that a lot of people are now referring to The Chowder Rule. I thought that as long as people are going to use it as a criteria in their stock selection, I would explain how and where it came from.
In order to understand the importance of The Chowder Rule, and how it relates to the stock selection process, one needs to understand the concept of dividend growth investing as I see it. One needs to understand what I was trying to accomplish and why. Once you understand this, you may be able to adjust the numbers to suite your needs, or accept it and apply it as it is.
When I discovered dividend growth investing I was surprised that there wasn't a blue print to describe exactly what it was. I saw where people had various views or ideas of what dividend growth investing meant to them.
One concept I came across stated that any company whose expected long-term dividend growth rate exceeded its current yield, was a dividend growth stock. I can see that as workable, but it appears to have limitations. One would have to abandon owning high quality companies with high yields, yet low dividend growth rates. One might get caught up with owning mostly low yielding companies with high dividend growth rates that are unsustainable.
Keep in mind that there is usually a trade off between yield and dividend growth. My objective was to find a balance between the two.
I do prefer a long history of dividend growth over a short one. I do prefer more dividend growth over less. With the threat of higher interest rates affecting high yield companies, it is also plausible that high dividend growth will slow, and low dividend growth will freeze or decline. So again, I'm looking for balance between the two.
One of the problems with high dividend growth is that it eventually has to slow. So in my opinion, I am better off trying to balance a high yield vs high dividend growth.
Another consideration about double digit dividend growth is the base from which it began. If a company started with a dividend of 2 cents, it wouldn't be difficult to grow at double digits and it wouldn't have much of an impact on the income stream either. Also, keep an eye on the payout ratio. Just make sure it isn't astronomically high in order to provide dividend growth. A company can't continue raising the payout ratio, so something has to give.
One thought that had an impact in applying The Chowder Rule was a stock that yields 1% has to raise its dividend 20% to generate the same dollar increase in annual income that another stock yielding 4% can achieve with a mere 5% hike.
Which growth rate is more realistically expected to be maintained over long time frames?
Most of the principles and concepts I apply have been taken from the book, "The Single Best Investment" by Lowell Miller.
According to Miller, the hidden key to the single best investment is dividend growth. The reason dividend growth is so important for long-term investors is because dividend growth is what drives the compounding machine in a way that is certain and inevitable. Dividend growth is an authoritative force that compels higher returns regardless of other factors affecting the stock market.
An important point is that an instrument that produces income is valued based on the amount of income it produces. The more income it produces, the more valuable the asset.
Keep in mind, you not only receive greater income as the years go by, you also get a rising stock price because the asset producing the income is worth more as the income it produces increases.
Stop and think about it for a minute. When you look at the long dividend growth history of companies like KO, PG and JNJ, if share price didn't keep up with dividend growth, they would have yields of 10%, 15% or more -- and the market isn't going to allow that to happen.
(The following paragraph is the essence of The Chowder Rule!)
So in effect, you get a "double dip" when you invest in high yield stocks that have high rising dividends. You get the income that increases to meet or surpass inflation, and you get the effect of that rising income on the stock price, which is to force price higher.
Dividend growth investing to me means that I am creating a compounding machine, not playing the market. Dividend growth is the energy that drives that machine.
In the book, "What Works on Wall Street" by James O'Shaughnessey, he states ... "It's impossible to monkey with a dividend yield." The author found that high yield was a much more effective factor in stock price performance when what he calls "large" stocks are studied. Among large stocks, he found that the highest-yielding stocks out-performed the overall universe 91% of the time over all rolling ten year periods.
Miller/Howard Investments revisited the issue of high yield and dividend growth with the help of Ford Investor Services, an institutional database and research organization based in San Diego. Using their data base going back to 1970, they found that high-yield stocks outperform the market over long periods on both an absolute and a risk-adjusted basis. The key is to own quality! ... (I hope you got that.)
Once you understand the concept, the next step is to come up with a plan of action.
This leads to a formula I adopted. I call it "The Success Formula That Never Fails."
High Quality + High Current Yield + High Growth of Yield = High Total Return.
High Quality is defined as having superior financial strength. A company must have a 1 or 2 rating for Safety with Value Line, or a BBB+ rating or better with S&P. Both of these Financial Strength ratings indicate investment grade quality. ... Anything that doesn't meet the High Quality definition is considered speculation and managed differently within the portfolio.
High Current Yield is defined as a yield that is at least 50% above the yield offered by the S&P 500. Therefore, if the S&P 500 has a 2% yield, then 3% is the minimum number for purchase under the formula stated above.
High Growth of Yield is defined as companies that raise their dividend at a rate of 5% or more.
With the "Success Formula" in hand, I needed to come up with a way for it to support my long-term objectives.
My long-term objective is to grow the portfolio at an 8% compounded annual growth rate (OTCPK:CAGR). I decided I would try to take advantage of total dividend return, current yield plus a 5 year CAGR to help support my long-term 8% CAGR objective. This total dividend return concept was dubbed The Chowder Rule by a Contributor on Seeking Alpha by the name of J.D. Welch.
Since High Current Yield called for a 3% minimum yield, based on the 50% above the S&P 500 yield concept, Howard Miller's 5% annual dividend growth minimum, when added to the yield came out to 8%. That was exactly what my long-term goals were and I established those goals before I read Miller's book.
I then decided I would place a "moat" around that 8% number as a margin of safety because I knew as price rises, yields come down and the original Chowder Rule number will as well.
I thought I would go 50% higher and came up with a Chowder Rule number of 12% as a total return objective. ... If others want to adjust the number to meet their objectives, that's fine. As long as it supports what it is you are trying to do, you'll get no argument from me. ... Ha!
Anyway, that 12% total dividend return number is now referred to as The Chowder Rule by many. So basically, if a stock has a 3% yield, I need a 5 year dividend growth rate of 9% to get my 12% number. If a stock has a 4% yield, I only need an 8% dividend growth rate.
For example:
CVX has a yield of 3.1% and a 5 year CAGR of 9.13%. When added together, I get a Chowder Rule number of 12.23%. ... It qualifies for purchase as long as the fundamentals and valuations meet your standards.
As I delved deeper into the concept of dividend growth investing, I realized I needed to focus on the safety of the dividend first. As I researched, I found that a lot of companies with solid dividends weren't able to grow their business like a lot of other companies, so their dividend growth may not be as robust. Utility companies are a good example of this.
Since my long-term goal is to achieve an 8% CAGR, I thought I would use that number for utility companies since it still supported my objective. I include telecom and MLP's under the utility umbrella. So for example, D has a yield of 3.4% and a 5 year CAGR of 6.99%, giving me a Chowder Rule number of 10.39%. It qualifies for purchase as long as the fundamentals and valuations meet your standards.
I know there are those who wish to own companies with yields below 3%, yet have higher dividend growth. I'm not opposed to this, but keep in mind, the lower the yield, the more you must rely on capital appreciation to achieve High Total Return.
I decided that if I'm willing to accept a yield below 3%, I must require a higher dividend growth rate. I needed a higher Chowder Rule number to serve as a margin of safety. I decided to use 15% for companies yielding less than 3%.
So for example:
DE has a yield of 2.4% and a 5 year CAGR of 13.84% for a Chowder Rule number of 16.24%. It qualifies for purchase as long as the fundamentals and valuations meet your standards.
Again, these numbers were designed around my long-term objectives. If your goals are different, you can adjust the numbers any way you wish as long as they support your goal. Just keep in mind that the lower the yield, the more you must rely on price appreciation.
I applied The Chowder Rule as a way to take the pressure off of price appreciation. I was looking for the "double dip" balance.Back To Chowder's Instablog HomePage »

I'm considering a speculation play in DNKN.
chowder--as i'm close to your son's age, I'm also interested in devoting a small portion of my portfolio to more growth oriented stocks. I also have already laid a good foundation of core dividend growth stocks that I will continue to add to. going forward, how will you approach the "speculative" portion of project $3 million? will it remain a certain percentage of the portfolio? will you add new growth positions once the 1st one becomes a full position? I'm trying to determine how to manage this portion of my portfolio without adding too much risk. thanks!
I'm looking at DNKN as his spec, would take SBUX if I had to, but I'm going to keep the position at 1% of the portfolio value. I'm not going to get greedy or go crazy.
I like JNJ and GIS. I think they should be part of the foundation of one's portfolio.
Agreed, no panic at all. On your added list, I do not have KRFT, D, and WEC. Watching KRFT, but did not do any research on D and WEC. I will do homework and let you know.
Ron, I look at things a little different than most people. Most people want to make all of their purchases when a company is undervalued.
"I wonder why they want to keep the coffee and tea separate."
Thanks Miz. I somehow listened that the first store was opened in CA (when Jim Creamer interview the CEO Mr. Schultz last week.) Now I know. I will try to visit that store if I go again to NY City. Just went there last Saturday to avoid the traffic on Sunday event. We were stocked in 95, thanks god we use GPS and turned to 278--smoooooothly to Manhattan. Well, yesterday bought that SBUX and today it went up $1.62???(cannot remember, but nicely up already.) Nice!!
Small, congrats on your purchase of SBUX! :)
Wait, wait, wait a second Miz.
Hmmm...sounds pretty good, might try it, if it's not too much of a "thing" to do each morning.
Shoot, Maybenot, how can it be off-topic when Chowder brought it up? ("It" being drinking coffee.) :)
Thanks Miz -- I'll give it a try. I've tried making other similar ones at home, but they always seem to come out too sweet, at least for me.

If I'm going to accept a lower yield, I need a higher dividend growth rate to achieve high total return, unless most of that return is going to be capital gain, and I'm trying to take pressure off of share price. I had to be realistic in what that dividend growth was going to be. It had nothing to do with any formula's per say, it had to do with what can be realistically expected.
Thanks so much chowder -- I thought my math wasn't even at the 3rd grade level! I just wanted/needed to understand where you were coming from.
Thanks for the great explanation Chowder. You were one of the first members I followed when I joined SA and I've learned so much from your comments and insta-blogs. You've made a huge difference in my investing philosophy and so far it has yielded great results in my portfolios.
With regards to CAGR, we are specifically discussing/using 5 year compound "dividend" growth rate, correct?
Yes. Keep in mind that some sites update the DGR data annually. So, for example, the 5-year DGR might represent 2008-2012 even this late in 2013. The 2013 increase is not included. When the sites are updated at the end of the year or early next year, the 5-year period advances by one year.
Calculating the compound annual growth rate over any period can be done on any calculator that has a y to the x, or y exp x, button. Let y = the most recent year divided by the year you want to go back to, and let x = 1 divided by the number of years, n, you are going back. Then the % CAGR = ((y raised to the x) -1) times 100.
SDS (Seductive Dividend Sto..., contributorComments (4471) | + Follow Following - UnfollowChowder,
Thank you for good blogpost, now you can refer to it in all cases when CR is mentioned 8-).
If you "do prefer a long history of dividend growth over a short one" why not include DG history in the rule? For example, each 15 years of DG can be qualify as -1% in safety margin - so it company has 30 years of DG your target for Y+DG can be 12%-2%=10%.
I do not use CR but in my metric DG history is included.
SDS, although I prefer a long history of dividend growth over a short one, I don't discount a short one.
"I purchased KMI without a long history of dividend growth because I have confidence in Kinder Morgan. I purchased KRFT right after the split with MDLZ, before they even declared the first dividend because I was confident they would pay a dividend and raise it. Management confirmed they wanted to reward share-owners."
I want to add my thanks along with everyone else. You provide one of a couple of quick screens I find useful.
Thanks, Chowder, for filling in some of the blanks surrounding the Rule. Would you say a few words about if/how you apply these criteria after purchase. Are they factors in any future decision to sell? Or do you wait for a dividend freeze or cut?
@Velo ... Once I am in the position, I monitor the yield and the dividend growth. I had purchased VFC and MKC when they had yields around 3.5%. When both of them saw their yield drop below 2%, I locked in my profits.
Excellent response. Disappointment but not warrent for probation. It's funny you mention MCD as that is on a very short list of stocks I am eyeing for my next purchase. I want it to be one of my cores but it has seen some headwinds. I am stuck on whether to wait for the price to come back down as a result of the disapointment and buy in lower or whether or not it is even deserving of a purchase.
MCD has faced headwinds before and has actually had lower dividend growth than we're currently experiencing.
Thanks for another great instablog Chowder.
Did you note the top sector in that first link to the FVD Fund? ... Utilities.
"Anyone else know how to find Value Line 1 & 2 rated companies without a trip to the library (or of course a membership)?"
I use the Value Line Survey. It is expensive though. I'm going to see if I can get it online from the library.
chowder, They clearly mistook the short term gain of a "trial" subscription for the long-term value of a dedicated subscriber. I guess their marketing/sales people don't really understand what the company is selling. In its own little way, that story is sad and incredible at the same time.
fiveoh, my pleasure! My library offers Value Line, Morningstar, and S&P Capital IQ NetAdvantage. I was pretty pleased when I discovered that. :-)
DVK, I've spent most of my adult life in sales. I understand sales concepts and sales pitches. When we had to resort to a money back, if dissatisfied approach, you now entered the realm of high pressure sales.
Hi Chowder,
Hilo, DEO met the Chowder Rule at the time of purchase. The 5 year performance record sort of smoothed out the return and didn't appear as though it was going to aggravate me as much as it did. ... Ha!
Robert, it was a combination of currency rates and the fact that UK companies provide a small dividend for the first 6 months and then a larger dividend for the next 6 months, provided the business could support it.
"I prefer the same dividend for 4 quarters like US companies do. That's more reliable. That's more predictable. That provides me with more peace of mind."
>>> that's not a good reason to stay away from international companies <<<
Nothing wrong focusing on the familiar; but, perhaps at least some US companies that have a lot of exposure overseas. They also pay quarterly. (And here I was trying to give you a case of ABV and FMX....:)
BUD has outperformed every holding of mine since I purchased it in September of 2011. It was up 45% a year until I just sold it in July and September at ~100. FastGraphs overvaluation coupled with the low yield was a no brainer for me. That and what Chowder pointed out (not a consistent dividend every three months) made it much easier to sell.
Thanks for the kind words Small.
Small, the only thing it really changes is that the share price will drop low enough where smaller retail buyers will be more inclined to buy them.
Stephen, I purchased VFC and MKC when the yields were about 3.5%. I expect the yields to come down as share price rises, but when the yields dropped below 2%, I had some decent capital gains.
Miguel, if you didn't get an invite, how did you get in? ... Ha! Ha!
That's got to be a mistake with DEO. They might have had a one time charge which inflated the number, I don't know.
You can't use payout ratios based on earnings when you are dealing with REIT's or MLP's. Due to the way they are structured, between the amount of depreciation they take, and the large amounts of distributions and dividends they pay put in order to maintain their corporate tax advantages, their payout ratios look inflated.
Hello Chowder,
On the other end of the spectrum and changing the yield into 9,5% and dividend growth into 2,5% again we end up with 12. But in this case your yield after 10 years wouldn't be 5,66% but a whopping 11,86%. Same rule but more than double the yield.
Hello drftr,
"However, in hindsight, a couple of years out, I would have had better total return if I kept the positions in play as opposed to swapping them out.
Thanks for help. ---Small
thanks for the explanation. I've made a customized "ETF" so to say on motif.
not sure if im allowed to post a hyperlink but its here: http://bit.ly/1mVju6g
I am confused by your "Chowder Rule".
Chowder's number is not based on future yield, but rather a min requirement to make a purchase. 5% yield plus 10% dividend growth give you a Chowder number of 15%. Chowder's min requirement is 12% I believe, so the stock in question, barring other minimum purchase requirements, would make it eligible to buy. The number is not a predictor of next year's forward dividend rate, although the expectation can be made that 5.5% will be the new "yield on cost".
Thanks Chowder - I have full positions now in KMI and XEL, but am looking for something to purchase in the coming week as I now have the cash to invest. I still feel the other utilities are a bit above fair value, so I may look to KMP or another MLP. Regardless, I'm coming up on my semi-annual review. At the end of June I'll take the time to reassess and see if anything changes from what I have now.
Vern, that turns out to be 7.62 and the Chowder Rule number for utilities is 8.0. That is close enough for me given the yield, low payout ratio for a utility, and forward looking earnings that are expected to grow.
Vern, utes aren't growth companies, their earnings are capped by regulators thus it would be very difficult for them to maintain high dividend growth rates for a long period of time, at least enough to qualify for a 12 number. So, 8 it is and 8 works for me when dealing with higher yields and a safe dividend.
The Chowder Rule is applied at the end of the due diligence. I apply it to companies that are ready for purchase fundamentally and then valued properly. So PE is important as it comes under the valuation criteria.
I'm sure this has been asked many times and maybe is contained in this thread. Is there a link to a web page where I can put a symbol for a stock and get the "Chowder Number" for it? I would like to bookmark it on my homepage so I can use it.
Or the formula that could be added to a spreadsheet so this number can be generated at will.
For a quick look-see, I go to this page and add the yield to the 5 year dividend growth number to get the Chowder Rule number.
I subscribed to them at one time, it wasn't what I was looking for.
Nice article. The way I protect the dividend is to use companies with a history of growing it over time. Dave Fish maintains a list of companies that have increased their dividend for at least 25 years at http://bit.ly/rABTPA and calls it Dividend Champions. He also looks at companies that are on the track of becoming Dividend Champions.
Quick example:
All of the above can be automated with Excel.
Will you share your spreadsheet? Not interested in seeing your investment but I am interested in the automation part. I am just getting into the Chowder Rule method and this would help me a lot. I have 27 stocks in my portfolio and I am interested in making some adjustments for 2015. I think this would help me decide what needs to be trimmed and what may be a good buy.
Thanks in advance
Since I'm not in the boardroom, I never have a true understanding of whether the debt a company has is something to worry about or not.
"This is just one of the reasons I decided to only purchase companies rated BBB+ or better. I figure that if they are raising their debt load, and putting it to good use, then they will maintain their high credit rating.
We don't usually get a low FICO score from managing debt effectively. I figure it's got to be the same for a company."
Mergers and acquisitions skew the numbers. Look at the merger KMI just did with KMP and KMR. It's going to take time for the dust to settle and rating agencies to get a handle on them.
Hello, I found you through your Project 3 Mil blog. I am a novice investor, but dividend growth strategy is perfectly suited to my personality and I am so grateful for your explanations and detail.
I just found your P3M blog and have been ready the history to get caught up. I am just a very novice investor, but feel my personality is perfectly suited to dividend growth investing. I appreciate all your explanations and details.

Need me some QCOM.
I agree :)) Great minds.
I started & added to EMR this past month. I own DLR, but added @ 64.xx. Got ABBV @ 56-7 last week.
Added KO @ 40.32 last week.
I ruled out QCOM, however and got IBM @ 156.xx
and teeny tiny bit of AAPL @ 127.xx (I am going insane).
Just to hard to ignore the tech elephants in the room.
Just me. Rose. Happy Investing :))
I've never looked at QCOM and am still not interested in looking at them, but I would add IBM to the list as I did add IBM to the Project $3 Million Portfolio.
"I don't wish to re-balance my positions by selling some CVX to buy XOM. I would rather wait and simply buy more XOM."
Hi Chowder…
I don't know much about the RR asset class except that they can haul mucho objects with only one engine!
The RR's are still too overvalued for my purposes.

The original SRI mouse (Engelbart, et al, mid-1960's) had one button.
By 1968, it had three buttons. Only the left button was used in
conjunction with pointing. The other two buttons were used to confirm
and cancel actions.
In 1974, at Xerox PARC, I implemented a prototype of the Gypsy text
editor that introduced drag-select and needed only one button. (The
final version of Gypsy, 1975, which I developed with Tim Mott, used
all three buttons because they were there.)
In 1981, Xerox shipped the Xerox Star with two buttons.
Apple's mouse first appeared on the Lisa. If we had been designing
the Lisa for power users, we may have provided at least two buttons.
But 99%+ of our target customers were new to mouse use at that
time--new, in fact, to computer use. In our 1980 usability tests, we
observed significant button confusion. "Which button?" "Oops, wrong
button." Or worse, the wrong thing happening without knowing why. We
also observed that users paused before clicking to think about which
button to click. This not only slowed them down, it took their minds
off the task and made them think about the tool.
We also speculated that other pointing devices would emerge in the
future which could have only one button, e.g., a pen whose switch was
built into the tip.
Today, I use a two-button mouse with my employer's PC. I have, in the
past, used a two-button mouse on my Mac, But with Apple's current
"no-button" wired and wireless mouse designs--the entire shell is the
button--I have regained a personal preference for one button. I find
it relaxing to click without thinking, even unconsciously, about
where my right finger is when it clicks. If I have to think about
anything, it is which modifier keys to press with my left hand in an
application like Photoshop.

And it does not have to be in c/c++
My personal choice - bearing in mind that I do not port from *nix or
develop drivers - is a nice little RAD tool that is very similar to
Delphi (Object Pascal) for Windows: WDSibyl
Why do I like WDSibyl?
Well, long ago used to use c and pascal on *nix and DOS systems - I
actually passed a City & Guilds "c" Programming course in 1993 - but
have not really got an idea where to start with PM apps in c.
I'm also getting a bit lazy in my old age...
That is where WDSibyl comes in: It is a complete development environment
where I can visually build the interface and hook up the "doing" code.
Please note that this post not meant to start some sort of "This
development package is better than that" war.
It is simply stating why I decided to go with this particular package
for most of my little projects - of which USBcfg is probably my best
public example http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/usbcfgb7a.zip

NFL star Ovie Mughelli launches Sierra Club PSA about Toxic Coal Ash
Washington, DC: Fullback Ovie Mughelli of the Atlanta Falcons has joined forces with the Sierra Club in a new public service announcement that raises awareness about the need to protect kids from toxic coal ash. In the video, Mughelli addresses concerns about protecting his daughter and other children from this toxic substance, and he calls on EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to create strong protections for our communities.
The video can be viewed at www.sierraclub.org/coalash
"As an athlete and a parent, I know just how important it is to have clean, healthy air and water," Mughelli says in the video. "The good news is, there's something we can do about it - It's time to tackle this problem. Tell the EPA to protect our kids from toxic coal ash pollution."
The Environmental Protection Agency is currently holding hearings around the country, inviting public input on a proposal to create stronger protections from coal ash. Many Americans are not aware that when coal is burned, the residue left behind is full of heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury - which can seep into groundwater. Living near some coal ash sites can be worse for kids' health than smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, and people living within one mile of these sites can have cancer rates 2,000 times higher than what EPA considers acceptable.
"We're thrilled to be working with Ovie Mughelli to spread the message that it's time to protect our kids by cleaning up coal ash," said Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune. "This is a critical issue for parents around the country. Huge crowds have been turning out at these public hearings, and now it's time to raise the volume even further. We need the EPA to put people before polluters."
There are thousands of coal ash sites throughout the United States. The Sierra Club has launched a Facebook application where people can see if they or any of their friends live near one of these toxic sites: apps.facebook.com/coalashlocator
In addition to being a fullback for the Atlanta Falcons, Ovie Mughelli is the founder of the Ovie Mughelli Foundation, which helps spread the message of environmental stewardship to youth. He has been acclaimed for his work to promote environmental issues, and was named the #2 "Eco-Athlete" in the world by PlanetGreen.com
The PSA can be viewed at:

Wando baseball fell, 8-4, to Grassfield (Va.) Tuesday in day two of the Hanahan Invitational Tournament at Warrior Field in Mount Pleasant.
Wando (10-5) tallied 11 hits, hitting .343 as a team but left nine base runners stranded, six in scoring position.
Senior right-hander Tyler Kimbrell suffered the loss for Wando, allowing six runs, four earned, off seven hits and five walks while striking out five in 5 1/3 innings. Brett Smith earned the win for Grassfield, striking out eight and giving up four runs, one earned off 10 hits and two walks through six innings.
Grassfield rang up four runs through the first two innings. Owen Ravenel answered for Wando in the fourth, reaching off an infield error with two outs while Hogan Kelly scored. Andrew Lee lined a double to left field in the fifth to score Oliver Hill.
Grassfield grabbed two runs back in the sixth with a fielders choice and infield error, but Wando countered with two in the bottom frame. Payton Muller singled to left to score Barrett Walton and Hill drove in Muller in the next at-bat with an RBI single.
Grassfield scored two more runs in the seventh off an outfield error and wild pitch to open a four-run advantage headed into the final three outs. Wando put runners on first and second with one out but flied out in back-to-back at-bats to end the game.
Hill finished 3 for 4 with an RBI, Walton 2 for 3 with a run scored and Noah LoCascio 2 for 4 to lead Wando at the plate.
Bishop England was defeated, 9-2, by York at Father Kelly Field on Daniel Island in day two of the H.I.T.

Much knowledge is available regarding the effect of repeated doses of chlorophenothane (DDT) on a variety of animals. Significant interspecies variation has been found in its toxicity when given orally, the storage of DDT in fat, and the conversion of DDT to 1,1,-dichloro-2,2-bis ( p-chlorophenyl ) ethylene (DDE). Some other aspects of the pharmacology of DDT have not been investigated sufficiently to determine whether interspecies differences are present. A final evaluation of the effect of DDT on man must be made with human subjects. The practical importance of the problem is evident from the fact that a greater tonnage of DDT than of any other insecticide is used in agriculture, that DDT occurs regularly in prepared meals,1 and that it is stored in the fat of most persons in the general population.2
An investigation was designed with the following objectives: 1. Study of possible clinical effects of different dosage

Welcome to a new series here on Cinematical where we select an actor or actress and the role we think is their all time best.
Last August, "Meryl Streep" wrote an op-ed piece for The Onion called "Name One Masterpiece Of Cinema That I've Starred In." It was really written by the Onion staff, of course, but they (and Streep) made a good point. For a woman who is very possibly the finest living actor of any sex, she has made very few truly unforgettable films. Her resume doesn't contain anything quite like Rear Window, The Godfather, Chinatown or Pulp Fiction. Case in point: the article brings up Kramer vs. Kramer. "Streep" says "I'd watch it if it were on," but it isn't really a masterpiece. Also, it's more Dustin Hoffman's movie than Streep's movie, and if you look at it that way, it ranks pretty far down on Hoffman's list of classics.
Streep's two best bona-fide classics are without a doubt Woody Allen's Manhattan (1979) and Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter (1978), but she has only tiny roles in both. Despite Streep's excellence, films like The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981), Sophie's Choice (1982), Silkwood (1983), Out of Africa (1985), Plenty (1985), Ironweed (1987), A Cry in the Dark (1988), Marvin's Room (1996), One True Thing (1998), Music of the Heart (1999) or The Hours (2002) aren't exactly compulsively watchable, nor do they turn up on very many lists of favorite films. You could also eliminate her comedies like She-Devil (1989), Postcards from the Edge (1990) and Death Becomes Her (1992), and her recent string of lightweight hits like The Manchurian Candidate (2004), The Devil Wears Prada (2006) and Mamma Mia! (2008).
That leaves her work with the best and most interesting directors. Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion (2006) is a good film, with a great Streep performance, and it's easy to get attached to it since it was Altman's last. But it has so many weird, ineffective little touches, and it's really an ensemble piece. Likewise, she's amazing in Spike Jonze's Adaptation (2002), though her role takes a backseat to Nicolas Cage's twin screenwriters and Chris Cooper's orchid thief.
Which brings us to Streep's best role, in Clint Eastwood's The Bridges of Madison County (1995). Eastwood is arguably the greatest director Streep ever had, and the material suited her perfectly, from her age and appearance, all the way down to the necessity for an Italian accent (Streep has always been known for her flawless accents). It's also a much simpler, purer role than she had ever had; here she has nothing to do with lost children or political causes or social unrest. She's merely a woman who has suddenly begun to experience feelings she shouldn't be experiencing. And in her quietest moments she registers these conflicting emotions in the most delicate of ways. Consider also the generosity of her performance, sharing the screen with Eastwood -- who is the most minimalist of all actors -- and becoming an equal partner to him. Neither outshines the other, and they have definite chemistry.
It's also useful to consider the near miracle that this movie is. It came from an extremely popular, awful book; Steven Spielberg owned the rights and once considered directing it himself. (Just imagine how goopy that would have been.) But Eastwood and screenwriter Richard LaGravenese cut all the New Age-y mush out of the text and created a stripped-down masterpiece, so honest that the filmmakers actually filled one romantic kitchen scene with buzzing flies. If the movie doesn't have the reputation it deserves today, it's only because of its association with that darn book. Indeed, in her Onion op-ed, when "Streep" gets to this movie, her response is merely "don't even get me started on The Bridges of Madison County." Nothing else. Perhaps the writers behind the piece couldn't find a joke for this movie. There may not be one. It's a Brief Encounter romance worthy of Brief Encounter itself. And it's Streep's masterpiece of cinema.
