How long have you worked for Heifer? 5 years
What attracted you to work for Heifer?
The overall harmony between what I have always done and the work, partnerships and strategic plan of Heifer Brazil-Argentina.
What has been the most memorable experience you have had while working for Heifer?
I participated in a bazaar put on by the Puna Network, an organization of the people of Puna and Quebrada in the province of Jujuy in northern Argentina. The bazaar of La Laugunilla is more than 4,000 meters above sea level. I was able to support, participate in and serve in an advisory capacity for this event with more than 500 people from families and communities in this area, sharing education and experience, combined bartering or trading seeds, food and other genetic materials that families need. It was very interesting, intense and educational for me.
My education includes: Agronomy Engineering, specializing in Agroecology.
My hobbies include: I like to read, take care of my family's organic garden, play with my two children, cook for family and friends, travel and meet with friends to joke and laugh a lot.
My family consists of: Caio and Arthur, my children, and Eliziana, my wife.
Something about me that you might not know: I like metaphysics, spirituality and related topics. I love to read poetry and I write some, which I keep secret.
What is the best thing about working at Heifer Peru?
There are at least two best things:
• the opportunity to participate in the beautiful work and partnerships that
build the program.
• living and working with a team of people who are highly capable, special
and beloved.

Sunday School Kids Host Living Gift Market to Benefit Heifer International
On Sunday, November 16, the Sunday school children (preschool through 5th grade) of First Presbyterian Church of Arlington Heights, Illinois, held the church's second annual Living Gift Market to benefit Heifer International.
A Group of Students Promise to "Be the People!"

A Small Town Thinks Big
Red Bluff is a small town located in the Sacramento Valley of Northern California. Our town is surrounded by nut orchards and prune orchards, and most folks grow a big garden and have a few fruit trees in their own yard – growing everything from lemons to pomegranates to persimmons. Most of us have enough to share, and at The Presbyterian Church of Red Bluff we wanted to share our surplus in a way that would benefit Heifer International.
In Honor of Heifer's 70th Anniversary
The Heifer International Sacramento Volunteers held a community celebration for Heifer's 70th Anniversary. The event featured chicks to hold, activities to engage and speakers to inspire. Bill Beck (pictured), one of the original Heifer seagoing cowboys, and Rosa Rodriguez, Heifer Ecuador Country Director, were featured speakers at the event. Everyone enjoyed the chance to reconnect and gain renewed dedication to support Heifer's work.
What a Difference 26.2 Hours Can Make
(My event,) The Mahrathon, sort of began as a bit of a joke among internet DJs. I used to play pretty long sets, and someone was bragging about having played six hours. Someone else suggested I play a whole day, and I said I could only do something like that if it was for charity. A couple of days later, someone mentioned Heifer International in an unrelated conversation, and I started to think about it as a serious thing.
A Vacation Bible School Missions Project
Along with the attached photos, please find a simple, yet powerful, story of how even the youngest Heifer International supporters can make a big difference! "Dear Heifer International, On behalf of the Presbyterian United Church of Christ in LeMars, Iowa, I am writing with thanks for your wonderful organization! We had the privilege of using your cause and organization for our children's annual vacation bible school missions project. The students loved learning about all the ways you help families and communities. Our attendees raised over $500.00 to donate, and with the help of our church's Mission Commission, we recently donated in the amount of $630.00 to you!"
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Laila
Laila, a 10-year old Heifer International supporter, inspired one of her family members to donate. When they placed their donation, they sent Laila one of Heifer's kid-friendly honor cards. As shown, Laila followed Heifer's instructions perfectly, sending us the illustration of what Heifer means to her. We greatly appreciate the support you have given to Heifer, Laila! Your creativity is inspiring.
Team Elliott Education & Alzheimer's Residents Continue Community Service Efforts
Serenades by Sonata Memory Care Assisted Living Residents, under the guidance of Team Elliott Education, a company which provides intellectual opportunities for seniors, have created a way for residents to continue their lifelong spirit of giving. Through extensive animal studies, integrated with creative design sessions, Serenades' residents gained knowledge and appreciation for what animals can do for people living in poverty stricken areas. Serenades' residents expressed their compassion for people throughout the world by selecting a variety of animals to support the efforts of Heifer International. With money raised through art sales along with a generous contribution by Team Elliott Education, Serenades residents purchased much needed livestock, which provides the gift of self-sufficiency, to those less fortunate than themselves.
Sonoma/Napa Volunteers Increase Heifer's Visibility
Heifer International volunteers may be small in number but have accomplished large things. A recent example was participating in the Heirloom Seed Expo at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, California.
Fourth Graders Rise to a Challenge
As a school volunteer in a rural county in North Carolina, I offered enrichment to four bright 4th graders on my favorite subjects--poetry, geography, nutrition, astronomy, and history--in six week blocks, ending with a 30 question challenge. If all students outperformed a teacher of their choice on my quiz, I donated $20 to Heifer International. Motivated by the fun of selecting and giving an animal or share, the girls won every challenge! When the students defeated their principal, he too donated $20! In total, these girls raised $120 for animals for other families.

Read a Book and Raise Some Money
Twenty-seven students at St. John Catholic School in Kansas City participated in Heifer International's Read to Feed program. Together they read nearly 450 books this summer, and by collecting sponsors for the books read, they raised $2,090 for Heifer International! The students generously decided to donate one heifer, three schools of fish, one water buffalo, two llamas, two sheep, one goat, tree seedlings, three rabbits, two beehives, two flocks of chicks, one flock of ducks and one flock of geese! Congratulations and thank you to the students of St. John Catholic School!
A Heifer Farm Volunteer is Uplifted
Groups like the 7th graders from Williston Northampton School in Massachusetts remind me of the importance to keep trying and keep teaching and being certain that ending hunger and poverty and caring for the earth is not a fantasy that Dan West had in 1939 and acted on in 1944. Heifer's mission is an ongoing reality that I am proud to be part of and extremely pleased to share with participants of all ages.

Recommended progressive piano studies for adult beginners. which are interesting but easy, eg Bartok's Mikrokosmos.
Recommended progressive piano studies for adult beginners. which are interesting but easy, eg Bartok's Mikrokosmos. I have been learning how to play piano for a couple of months, practicing around an hour a day. Until recently I have been resigned to playing kids method books, grade 1 ABRSM pieces, scale books and adult all in one tuition books which are too heavy on folk tunes and blues for my liking. But then I stumbled upon Bartok's Mikrokosmos, which is a set of progressive studies, from complete beginner up. The studies are interesting, melodic, discordant, emotional, jazzy. Perfect. I am hungry more just like it. Is there such a thing as a contemporary set of progressive of studies for complete beginners, which are melodically interesting. Or am I cutting corners?
Is it possible to find lead sheet music for Pachelbel's Canon?
I'm trying to learn to play the piano, and right now I'm using this book by Scott Houston, who is a huge advocate of lead sheet music and "fake" books. I really, really like the book, and even after just sitting down for a little bit I can already play some basic stuff like row, row, row your boat and jingle bells. However, there is one snag: the book's philosophy is that you should think of the one song you would most like to play on the piano and learn how to play by starting with that song first, an idea which I really love except for the fact that the one song I would really like to play more than anything else is Pachelbel's Canon in D. He specifically says in the book that his teaching method is completely unsuited for learning classical piano. I really don't want to learn how to play classical piano except for this one song, but this is one song I would really like to learn. Is there any way around this?

Otto Steenken was a lot of things: carpenter, family man, and evidently – the guy who in the early 1960s invented the all-terrain table saw stand. The tool companies never picked up on this idea, but maybe one of them should...
I stumbled across this photo of Otto's table saw stand on the web – it was taken by a relative after he passed away. The handles look like real knee-bashers, so Otto probably unscrewed them when it was time to use the saw. Or maybe they were connected to the outfeed roller at the back of the saw – and by sliding them forward to get them out of the way it put the roller at a good working distance behind the table.
The saw looks like it's from the 1950s. Does anyone know what it is? If so, please explain in the comments section below.

Make the tea: Combine 8 cups water, the orange peel and cinnamon stick in a saucepan over low heat and bring to a boil. Add the tea bags and turn off the heat. Let the tea steep for about 5 minutes (no more or else it will be bitter), then remove the tea bags and chill the tea; don't remove the cinnamon stick or the orange peel yet.
Meanwhile, make the syrup: Combine 1 cup water, the sugar and ginger in a small saucepan over low heat and bring to a boil without stirring. Once boiling, turn off the heat. Rip the mint leaves and stalks into pieces and drop into the syrup. Let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Strain the syrup, discarding the mint and ginger.
Strain the tea into a pitcher. Add the mint syrup according to your taste buds and stir. Serve in tall glasses over ice and garnish with orange slices and cinnamon sticks, if you like. Sip languorously.

BRUSSELS--The economic crisis dogging Europe has created "unprecedented" momentum to tackle tax evasion and fraud, a top EU official said Wednesday following a leaders' meeting.
European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said the 27 heads of government are committed to pushing ahead with EU-wide policies but gave no deadline for these to be adopted and noted that tax-policy coordination requires a unanimous decision.
"Loopholes in the tax system are fuelling public indignation and rightly so," Mr. Van Rompuy said. Hours after Apple's top executive faced a grilling at the U.S. Senate for what policy-makers there described as aggressive tax planning, Mr. Van Rompuy noted that a "number of issues relating to business tax, tackling aggressive tax planning, call for a coordinated approach in Europe and worldwide."
Another top EU official, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, urged leaders not to renege on their commitments to deal with tax issues and called on the public to remain vigilant.
"We have seen in the past many statements not always followed by actions.... I think it is important that public opinion now keeps close scrutiny about the follow-up on these announcements," Mr. Barroso told reporters after the EU summit here.
The EU only last week managed to overcome resistance from Austria and Luxembourg and allow the commission, its executive branch, to negotiate a deal with third countries, including tax havens Lichtenstein and Switzerland, to automatically exchange tax information.

nothing stunning at all

the NeoGOP party just gets their dictates and money from DC. They have been in power for a long time, and all this corruption is just coming out to the forefront. It was always like this, it just now that ordinary citizens are trying to get their country back. It will take some time to throw out all the criminals. Time, effort, and hard work.
You have to watch out because the party figureheads will try to nominate their own secret slate of delegates to the national convention. Watch out for that, and if you see it file restraining orders.

A couple of miles further down the road is Oberhofen, which always finds its way into guidebooks and postcards, thanks to its 12th-century lakeside castle. When I say lakeside, I mean part of the castle is actually built in the lake itself, with an annex that juts out across the water through a walkway, with a spire rising above it. It's a wonderful sight, although sadly we were visiting out of season, so it wasn't open to the public. Between April and October each year, you can also catch regular boat trips around the lake, enjoying dinner, or perhaps a Sunday brunch into the bargain, while admiring the views.
Despite the fact that we couldn't travel around the lake by boat, we were still able to get some wonderful views from the lakeside road we traveled along. It was almost perfect spring weather, with warm temperatures but snow-capped mountains still topping off the scenery above the crystal blue water below. There were plenty of places to just pull over and admire the views as we drove along.
Finally, we were heading towards the southern end of Lake Thunersee, and into Interlaken. As we arrived, we could instantly tell that most of the money coming into this place is from tourists, as there were souvenir shops dotted all along the main street, with restaurants and hotels all over the place.
Interlaken is not home to any major attractions per se, but it attracts visitors who use it as a base to explore the nearby mountains, which include the Jungfrau, more than 4,100 metres (13,600 ft.) above sea level. It's a center for hiking in the summer, and skiing by winter. If adventure is your thing, then you'll find opportunities for river rafting, sky diving, windsurfing, and horse riding. One of the people that my husband works with comes here almost every year to enjoy the cycling in the region, and even this early in the year, we saw lots of cyclists already out and about. You certainly won't be bored here.
Lake Thunersee and its surrounding towns and villages is certainly one of the most beautiful regions of Switzerland, and I can see why it attracts so many people to it each year. It may not be an instantly recognizable name, but once you've seen it, you'll never forget how stunning this area is.

Nationally certified personal trainer Luka Hocevar turned to fitness tutelage after 20 years of shooting hoops, which took him to the NBA Summer Pro League and Europe's premier basketball leagues. Since then, he has applied his exercise expertise to help fitness newbies and UFC, NBA, and NFL athletes alike whip into shape, making his way into the top five best personal trainers named by KING5 Best of Western Washington in 2010. He doesn't just dive right in, though. After a friend revealed to him that "people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care," Hocevar has made a commitment to get to know his clients before building an expedited fitness program around their goals and needs.

With Bootcamps-to-Go media in the form of videos, mp3s, and self-destructing scrolls, students can continue to hone their flab-blasting moves at home. Hocevar also strives to make each boot-camp endeavor a personalized one, providing unlimited email support to all of his clients.
Dog & Pony Alehouse and Grill's combination of craft beers, upscale bar food, and no-nonsense attitude has broad appeal. It draws machinists from down the street, engineers from Boeing, and salaried folks from downtown. The diversity is considered a plus by Evening Magazine, which rates the Alehouse among the Top 5 Western Washington Beer Bars.
The bar's taps flow with more than 32 craft beers??largely local in origin??including a handful set aside for a selection of IPAs, which is said to be the favorite brew of regulars. The chefs match this selection with a diverse menu of contemporary and upscale gastropub fare. They batter wild-caught Icelandic cod in beer and crust it in panko to create the fish 'n' chips, a feat that ensures its spot as the most popular dish on the menu. They stuff cheesy quesadillas with jumbo black tiger prawn ceviche made from scratch, and fill italian subs with thinly sliced prosciutto, ham, and salami.

Who Should I Start? - Week 12
Darren McFadden or Trent Richardson
Trent Richardson INDvs. JAC Sun, 1:00 ET
Probable - Illness
Darren McFadden OAKvs. KC Thu, 8:25 ET
|Staff Rankings
"TRICH gets his 10th shot to be the starting RB we all want him to be. Hopefully for at least one week against a suspect Jaguars defense he can get it done."
"I hope this is the end of DMC and we can finally get a good look at Latavius Murray. Maybe Murray can't do anything if given the chance but we all want to know and have seen enough of McFadden this season."
|Derek Lofland
Fantasy Football Maniax
"Richardson has a great matchup against the 23rd ranked fantasy running back defense of the Jaguars, but it remains to be seen if he can handle the starting load in the absence of RB Ahmad Bradshaw."

This year's INDesign Awards will be postponed until next year and combined into a single competition that covers two years of work. The competition, which honors excellence in architecture, interior design and historic preservation, will be re-scheduled for the spring of 2011 and cover projects completed in the calendar years of 2009 and 2010. The 2010 Smart Growth Lecture will continue as scheduled on April 1 at the City Club of Lafayette.
"We are one week away from deadline for entries," says Independent Weekly Co-Publisher Cherry Fisher May, "and there has been very little activity. The feedback we're getting from sources within the industry is that the building lull has meant fewer projects that could be entered."
May says The Independent staff will accept any entries that are ready to submit and take responsibility for them until next year. "If an architectural or interior design firm has taken the time to prepare a submission," she says, "please send it in. We will catalogue and keep entries in storage for next spring. We don't want that valuable time to be lost."
The INDesign Awards are typically presented as part of the program during the annual Smart Growth Lecture, which this year will feature Carol Coletta. "As president and CEO of CEOs for Cities and host of the nationally syndicated public radio show Smart City, Carol has received national and international recognition as an expert on livable communities," says May.
In 2008 Coletta was named one of the world's 50 most important urban experts by a leading European think tank. Most recently, she was named the recipient of the Lamda Alpha International 2009 International Journalism Award for her work with CEOs for Cities and Smart City, and as one of the top 50 urban thinkers of all time by readers of PLANetizen.com.
NOV 25 Here's a link to the petition that has been created to save Zeus, a family dog who is targeted for death by the learned fathers of the Avoyelles Parish village of Moreauville. They passed an ordinance based on nothing that outlaws pit bulls and Rotweillers. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.
NOV 25 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the latest in a federal lawsuit against Du Pont that claims the chemical company's Ascension Parish plant has been leaking toxic fumes on a regular basis for years without reporting it. The company is asking the court to prevent the plaintiff from talking about a fatal toxic leak that happened in Texas, Tom writes.
NOV 25 Louisiana Democrats are limping, but don't count them out, Jeremy Alford writes in this post on LaPolitics. They've come back before; but the one thing the D's can't do is just twiddle their thumbs while waiting for the pendulum to swing left, Alford opines. They need to rebuild and rebrand, he says.
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.
NOV 25 Blogger Rod Dreher is writing about the increasing number of retail establishments who are open on Thanksgiving in this post. He's got a list of stores that will be open and a list of stores that won't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 This story in the LSU Reveille assures students that the Jindal administration's removal of millions from the TOPS fund won't affect students. Oh, ah. K. Is that like the raid on the OGB wasn't going to affect state employees? Who is the adviser for this paper?
NOV 25 Apparently the Jindal administration can't handle old folks, either. This post on The Advocate outlines a legislative auditor's report critical of the administration's handling (or not handling) of the state agency that oversees services for the elderly.
NOV 24 Blogger Bob Mann is blogging about race and the Senate campaign in this post. Sure, everybody knows that Mary Landrieu doesn't do too well with white folks, but how come the GOP can't get arrested in the black community? Bob is asking.
NOV 24 The GOP has a boogie-man for anybody thinking about voting for Mary Landrieu: President Obama. But the Dems have one for Bill Cassidy, too, Melinda Deslatte writes in this AP post on The Reading Eagle -- and his name is Governor Jindal.
NOV 24 Columnist Stephanie Grace is writing about Bobby Jindal's continuing refusal to accept federal funding for the expansion of Medicaid. It's purely an attempt to benefit him politically, meaning the decision is "cruel, short-sighted and remarkably self-centered." Well, yeah. Have you met him?
NOV 24 Because of a town ordinance, the police will come to a disabled girl's home this week to take away her service dog and kill him. Sound like a bad Lifetime movie? Nope - it's real life in Moreauville, blogger Lamar White Jr. tells us in this post. The dog's crime? Being born a pit bull. What's the reason for this ordinance? Well, the town fathers are a little vague on that one. Maybe Obama?

THURSDAY, April 15 (HealthDay News) -- Low vitamin D levels are associated with progression to active tuberculosis in healthy household contacts of tuberculosis patients, according to a study published online April 14 in Emerging Infectious Diseases. Another study in the same journal found a high prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection among drug users, female sex workers, and homeless individuals in Tijuana, Mexico.
Najeeha Talat, of Aga Khan University in Karachi, Pakistan, and colleagues studied tuberculosis patients and their household contacts, 79 percent of whom were vitamin D deficient. Eight percent of disease-free household contacts progressed to active tuberculosis over a four-year follow-up. Disease progressed in 23 percent of patients in the lowest tertile for vitamin D levels, 3 percent in the middle tertile, and none in the highest tertile. Women in the lowest tertile comprised six of the eight who progressed.
Richard Garfein, Ph.D., of the University of California in San Diego, and colleagues studied 503 injection drug users, non-injection drug users, homeless individuals, and female sex workers -- all considered at high risk for HIV -- in Tijuana, Mexico. The researchers found that 57 percent of the subjects tested positive for tuberculosis, 4.2 percent tested positive for HIV, and 2.2 percent tested positive for both HIV and tuberculosis. Older age, longer duration of residence in Tijuana, and having been incarcerated in a Mexican prison were independently associated with tuberculosis infection.
"Although prevention of infection with HIV should be the top priority for reducing tuberculosis risk, the high latent tuberculosis infection prevalence found in this study indicates an unmet need for early tuberculosis identification and treatment among populations in Tijuana at risk for HIV infection," Garfein and colleagues write.
Cellestis Inc. provided QuantiFERON TB Gold assay kits at a discounted price for the second study.

Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Hypoallergenic Hydrolyzed Protein Adult Canned Dog Food Customer Reviews
Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Hypoallergenic Hydrolyzed Protein Adult Canned Dog Food 14 14
great food My dog Maggie has addisons disease which causes her bowel problems from time to time. My vet at UC Davis had recommended the Royal Canin HD dry and wet food. It really seems to keep her bowel issues under control. I am afraid to try anything else for she is doing really good now. She does take meds but, I really think the food does play a part in keeping it under control. I would definitely recommend this food. March 17, 2014
Great Way to give him his Meds We use both the canned & dry food. The Canned is what Max gets his medication mix with. He loves it. November 6, 2013
Great for sensitive dogs Easy to digest nourishment for dogs with sensitive stomachs. After trying several dog foods with little success we found this one which suits our needs. November 7, 2014
Excellent quality and service Excellent Quality and Excellent service. Good communication and professional, Knowledgable People. Thanks September 14, 2014
A miracle! I had never heard of Royal Canine until my Vet prescribed it. My dog's appetite was almost none existent by the time I fed him the first can. It was unbelievable watching her devour it! He continues to do this and has regained all of her health and energy. Thanks you for this wonderful and miraculous product! September 12, 2014
Unappetising - my dogs didn't like it The was prescribed by my vet for allergy testing. Looks and smells unappetising with the consistancy of thick clay. The dogs didn't like it only ate it because they had nothing else. This caused them to eat only half of what they normally do and they lost weight. Also caused bad constipation in my 12 yr. old. I called the vet to tell her the food was not working and will get them on something else. September 4, 2014
Canin vet small breed canned food I have used the Canin products for my dog with allergies for several years they are the best. I would recommend to anyone with allergy pets. September 3, 2014
Fast. Great prices. Easy. Our dog's food is a prescription product. Chewy makes it SOOO much easier to access! August 28, 2014

Capone believes the Jackie Robinson biopic 42 is stale because its subject's life off the field was dull!!!
Published at: April 12, 2013, 1:17 a.m. CST by
Hey everyone.
in Chicago here.
The reason it has taken Hollywood so long to put together a Jackie Robinson bio film has nothing to do with racism or anyone questioning Robinson's groundbreaking achievements, both on the field and in history, as major league baseball's first-ever black player. The problem is that Robinson led a pretty dull (at least cinematically) life off the field, at least as far as anyone is willing to say on record, including his widow and his fellow players. So how do you make a film about Robinson interesting? You can't just fill it full of moments on the field, although there are so many to choose from.
Truthfully, you have to take some of the movie version of Robinson's life away from him and give it to the people around him—the white members of the Brooklyn Dodgers ball club who had to get used to a new kind of attention at their games; the fans, who slowly began to realize that Robinson was going to succeed or fail on his own merits and not because of his race; and perhaps most importantly, Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey (played in the new film 42 by Harrison Ford, who seems more awake and alive in this part than he has in quite some time), who made the decision in 1946 to bring Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) on board as much for money and publicity as any kind of statement about equality.
No pun intended, 42 covers the bases of Robinson's professional life, without digging too deep into his pre-baseball existence. We see him come up through the ranks of the Negro League, the minors, and eventually into a Dodgers uniform. We get a glimpse of the whirlwind romance that led to his marriage to Rachel (Nicole Beharie), and how she served as a stabilizing force in his life. But since Robinson was never at the center of any scandal in his personal or professional life, the only source of drama in his life came from fans, players, coaches and the times, all of which booed him on the field and hurled the worst names at him day after day.
In one of their first meetings, Rickey tells Robinson that he has to be strong enough not to fight back, to be the perfect gentleman all the time, and never let this overwhelming discouragement get him down or angry in public. One of the great appeals of Boseman as an actor is how reserved he plays Robinson. The hurt, frustration and anger are there in his performance, but you have to watch his eyes to see it. In the film's most important sequence, Robinson is verbally brutalized every time he gets up to bat by Phillies coach Ben Chapman (played with shocking venom by Alan Tudyk). After one particularly nasty barrage of insults, Robinson goes into the tunnel to the locker room and destroys his bat in a rare moment of rage, away from the public eye. I don't think anyone knows for sure if Robinson did this ever, but of course, he had to have moments where he wanted to.
42 does a slightly better than surface level job of showing the changing attitudes among Robinson's fellow players and coaches, with particularly strong performances by Chris Meloni as Leo Durocher, Lucas Black as Pee Wee Reese and Hamish Linklater as Ralph Branca. As coaches in any sport often do, writer-director Brian Helgeland focuses on the fundamentals. Perhaps he believed that rather than invent motivating forces or false moments in Robinson's life, sticking to the facts and trusting that the power of the achievements and focus on the forces that Robinson had to overcome would combine to give a complete picture of the man. His theory is mostly right, and he delivers a serviceable biography that you'll wish was something more extraordinary, but maybe could never be.
Helgeland is a smart writer (GREEN ZONE, MYSTIC RIVER, MAN ON FIRE, CONSPIRACY THEORY) and a sometimes-great director (PAYBACK, A KNIGHT'S TALE), and maybe the better approach would have been to give more of a sense of the impact Robinson had on the times and how he served as an inspiration to black kids (and likely a few adults) around the country. There are a few asides cut into 42 showing people listening to games on the radio and cheering on, but that doesn't quite drive the message home the way it could. Buoyed by some really strong performances by Boseman, Ford and the supporting players, 42 succeeds without truly excelling. It's a great history lesson without giving us life lessons we can cling to and learn from. It's a closer call than you might think, but it still left me wanting to know more about what motivated Robinson and kept him from crumbling under such enormous pressure.
