Brad Pitt stars in "Moneyball." Click image to expand.Bennett Miller's Moneyball (Columbia Pictures), adapted by Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zaillian from the nonfiction book by Michael Lewis, is a sports movie for people who don't like sports movies. I know this is true because I enjoyed it. Many classic films about sport hinge on a climactic zero-sum contest?the "big game"?that leaves this viewer as indifferent as real-life big games do. This is in no way meant as a slight against the dazzlingly gifted athletes who play pro sports, or the fine people who follow them. (There's one on my couch right now, watching the Phillies.) But secretly I'm always thinking, well, one side or the other has to win, and then the game and/or movie will be over, right? Can't you just get back to me with the score?

The sports movies I come away remembering?Breaking Away, Eight Men Out, North Dallas Forty?are about things that happen on the periphery of the big game: intrigue, romance, betrayal, or in the case of Moneyball, back-room horse-trading. This low-key, unassuming, yet curiously satisfying movie invites us into the seldom-visited world of the general manager, the guy whose job it is to know who to recruit, who to trade, and who to cut from the team. A few key scenes take place on the baseball diamond, but the real playing field here is the cluttered desk of Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the GM of the Oakland Athletics.

In October 2001, Billy, a once-promising player who went into management after his career sputtered out, has just watched the A's lose their shot at the World Series, then get their three star players traded to richer teams. Sitting around with his crusty team of talent scouts, Billy mocks their often imprecise criteria for spotting talent: Is the player in question good-looking enough to attract local fans? Does he have an ugly girlfriend?a possible sign, theorizes one old-timer, of low self-esteem? But Billy, whose team ranks near the bottom both in wins and in budget, doesn't have any better system to offer?until, at a meeting with the Cleveland Indians' management, he runs into Peter Brand (Jonah Hill). Pete is a young, socially inept Yale economics grad who's developed a wonky spreadsheet system for predicting a team's success over time. Beane poaches Brand from the Indians and brings him on board as his assistant, to the chagrin of the A's old-school manager, Art Howe (Philip Seymour Hoffman!).

To the amusement of the baseball establishment, Peter and Billy develop an unorthodox but cost-effective approach to creating a lineup. They cobble together a Frankenstein of a team in which a player's on-base percentage counts for more than his batting average, figuring that a mediocre player who consistently hits singles is worth more than an unreliable superstar. They acquire a catcher, Scott Hatteberg (Chris Pratt) whose throwing arm is shot, promising he'll get on-the-job training at first base. (Asked by a fellow player what scares him about his new position, Hatteberg replies, with dead seriousness, "A ball being hit in my general direction.")

Like another recent film, Steven Soderbergh's Contagion, Moneyball manages to invest its characters' sessions at the whiteboard or computer screen with more drama than you might expect. It's not necessary to know exactly how Billy and Peter's number-crunching system works in order to grasp that these are two men enthralled with the possibility of building a great ball club and, if they get lucky, changing the way a great team is built. Moneyball is a buddy comedy crossed with an office drama: At its heart is the relationship between the laconic but hot-tempered Billy and the timid but brillliant Peter.

As Billy Beane, Pitt gets to dip tobacco, engage in manly backroom banter ("If he's a good hitter, why don't he hit good?"), and hurl the occasional locker-room water cooler to the floor with rage. But Billy is also a fragile, angsty sort who is too invested in his beloved team to actually watch their games?he listens on the radio from his car or has the results texted to him while he works out. Pitt himself is at the top of his game, using his leonine good looks to his advantage in building a complex character: As he wanders the clubhouse in sweats, munching on fast food, you can see both the stubbornly proud GM and the disappointed ex-player within.

Jonah Hill, who was wearing out his welcome as a loudmouth comic actor, completely renews his visa in this straight dramatic role (which also gives him the chance to be funny, not by wisecracking broadly but by underreacting). One of the film's chief pleasures is in watching Hill's initially bumbling young nerd slowly acquire the courage of his convictions. A late scene in which Billy and Peter jointly negotiate a sneaky trade, playing two rival teams off each other in a series of overlapping phone calls, moves forward with propulsive screwball velocity, with Hill's triumphal fist pump serving as a laugh line in itself. A plot thread in which Peter first resists, then reluctantly accepts the grim task of telling players they've been traded will resonate with any middle manager who's had to wield an axe on their boss's behalf.

A back story about Billy's ex-wife (Robin Wright) and 12-year-old daughter (Kerris Dorsey) doesn't accomplish as much as it should, though Pitt's scenes with Dorsey are worth it for the young actress's button-cute face and distinctive voice. And a series of flashbacks to Billy's youth featuring an actor (Reed Thompson) who looks uncannily like the young Brad Pitt leaves us a little too much in the dark as to what happened to Billy's career?did he have a fatal character flaw of some kind, or was he just not a good enough ballplayer?

Cinematographer Wally Pfister's deliberately unglamorous presentation of the A's dilapidated clubhouse is a long way from the gold-and-sepia tones of Barry Levinson's The Natural. "You can't help but be romantic about baseball," Billy observes to Peter, even as he's being reviled by his own organization for his supposedly bloodless reliance on the stats. It's to the director's credit, and Pitt's, that Moneyball is anything but bloodless?in its own quiet, unspectacular way, this movie courses with life.

The Different Type Of ATVs | Automotive

Also known as All Terrain Vehicles or Quads, ATVs have numerous uses for many different fields of interest. The most common include hunting, sports and utility use. While the use of all terrain vehicles vary, there is not just one kind to suit all needs. There are diverse models and styles to meet the various requirements imposed by the particular area of interest, including the option to have the mobile built custom. By knowing the different types of quads available on the market today, you can be sure to choose one to meet all of your needs.

One design of ATVs that is the most popular among business owners, ranchers, campers and hunters is the utility model. The reason for utility all terrain vehicles being so well liked are their ability to haul loads (with certain accessories attached), four wheel drive and their larger engine size. Engine sizes can range anywhere from one hundred fifty cc (cubic centimeters) all the way up to eight hundred. However with a greater size comes a heftier price tag. If you are planning to use a utility quad for extremely rough terrain or to haul pretty heavy loads, a bigger engine could very well be for you. Conversely, if your hauling cargo is limited or the land you will be traveling is generally mild, a smaller engine most likely will meet your needs.

Another type of quad is known simply as sport ATVs. These are particularly well suited to recreational uses and are very popular among those seeking to enter races and competitions. These models are more inclined to have lightweight bodies and frames making jumping easier in trick competitions. Two more traits that make sport quads a very attractive option for those looking into investing in an all terrain vehicle for purely recreational purposes is quick acceleration and excellent suspension.

ATVs built for more than just one person are called side by sides or utility task vehicles (UTV). UTVs are heavier than all terrain vehicles and are equipped with cargo boxes that hold several hundred pounds. They look like a cross between a little pickup truck and a golf cart, but are able to traverse extremely harsh land. These are a popular choice among land owners with large acreage as there are many accessories available for purchase, like plows.

If you happen to be looking for quads built for children, you will be pleased to know there are many available to choose from. The general build design is equipped to handle riders up to one hundred fifty pounds and come with an automatic transmission. Adult riders with little to no experience can also use these all terrain vehicles safely, as long as they are within the weight limit.

Why Should I Use a Hawaii Buyer's Agent ? Part 3 | Hawaii Life

Hawaii Real Estate Buyer Tips?Part 3.

This is a continuation on my blog series on selecting a buyer?s agent and purchasing Hawaii real estate. Many times, people start their search for a home before they know if they can buy a home, or how much house they can afford. It is important to know what you want and how to get it.?

Life is too short to waste time going down a path that leads nowhere.?If you set the path, or have your agent help set up the path, you are much more likely to get where you want to go.?We went over these questions on my last blogs on the subject.

Here are the links to my previous blogs on this subject, part 1 and 2:

These are the rest of the questions and answers:

  • How do I navigate through the process with inspectors, escrow, agents, loan officers, appraisers, and all the other professionals involved in the transaction?
  • What is HUD and why do I hear people talk about that?
  • What kind of fees will I have to pay?
  • What are the differences between escrow fees and loan fees?
  • Why do I have to pay these fees?
  • How much down payment do I need?
  • Who do I talk to about all this stuff?

8. How do I navigate through the process with inspectors, escrow, agents, loan officers, appraisers, and all the other professionals involved in the transaction?

The best way to navigate the process is to have a buyer?s agent assist you in the entire process from finding the property, getting pre-qualified, and finding the necessary inspectors to closing. An agent can help you keep it all on schedule since this is what they do everyday, all day.

9. What is HUD and why do I hear people talk about that?

The HUD statement is a closing statement that is given to both buyer and seller at closing, which reveals in detail what the costs?are associated with purchasing property. This document must be prepared and provided to all buyers and sellers of Hawaii real estate. This document helps protect consumers from any ?hidden fees,? or surprising costs at the closing table. ?

Your real estate agent should get a copy of this report as well, so that he or she can make sure that it is compliant with the purchase contract.?The HUD is created by the settlement company (Title and Escrow) involved in the transaction. Make sure you keep a copy of this form for your tax preparer at the end of the year.

10. What kind of fees will I have to pay? ?

There are many fees that need to be paid during and at the closing table of a real estate purchase.?You don?t want to be blindsided by a request for thousands of dollars for closing costs.?You can use a mortgage payment calculator to give you an estimate of the loan payment, but the loan payment is only what you pay after closing and usually does not include all the fees that you will be responsible for.?Here is just a partial list and you can ask your agent or loan officer to see a sample HUD, which can show what to expect.

Points: you hear 4% and 2 points.?The 2 points are fees for the loan expected to be paid at closing and each point is one percentage point. $100,000 mortgage?2 points is $2,000. Appraisals, property inspection, taxes, transfer fees, insurance, escrow fees, attorney?s fees, settlement fees, prorated association or maintenance fees, the list goes on.?Be sure that prior to starting your home search, you have an estimated idea of how much money you will need to bring to the closing table.?It is best to have this all figured before you start your search for a home.

11. What are the differences between escrow fees and loan fees?

There are 3 professionals that work with you from the beginning of your search until the keys are in your hands. There are many other professionals that advise and assist along the way, but these three are there every hour of everyday of your home buying journey:

  1. Your real estate agent who helps you locate the home, negotiate purchase contract and contingencies, manages the process, and assists in analyzing the property and terms.
  2. Your loan officer who will pre-qualify you for a loan, take your application, and assist in getting the money needed for the purchase.
  3. Your escrow officer will hold deposits and monitors compliance by both buyer and seller in adhering to the agreed upon written contract.

Numbers 2 & 3 are two separate entities with two separate jobs, so they each have their own fees for services. They will gladly give you an estimate for those fees once they know which property you will be pursuing.

12. Why do I have to pay these fees?

The plain truth is that in a real estate transaction, there are often dozens of people who handle each part of one real estate transaction.?There are many reasons for these fees, but plainly, it is for profit and salary. Everyone who has a hand in your transaction has a family and earns a living by being a part of the real estate transaction. Each company has a responsibility to their owners or shareholders to provide a service and earn a profit.

These are professionals that often deal with hundreds of transactions a year and this is how they earn a living and provide a service. Buying a home is complex and involved. There are many facets of the transfer of property. At closing, as a buyer, you are usually looking at a cost of 3%-4% of the sales price as your costs associated with having all these people contribute to the successful purchase of your investment.

13. How much down payment do I need? ?

This is an excellent question when buying a home.?It would be heartbreaking to search for a house, find the house, and then find out that you do not have enough money to get it.?This is why it is important to talk to a loan officer prior to starting your search. Sure, you can browse for houses, but if you really want to start on that road to home ownership, you want to know how much money you need and how much house you can afford. ?

Although, the easy 100% financing loans for anyone with a pulse are a thing of the past, it is likely that you will need to have some money saved up for a down payment. There are exceptions to the 20% down standard. There are USDA loans, VA loans, and several others that fit into a program that may allow low to no money down. Your Realtor or loan officer can help you find out which loan and property best fits your current situation, both financially and with your housing needs in mind.

14. Who do I talk to about all this stuff?

That one is easy. Call your Realtor. They will guide you through the entire process and assist you from beginning to end.?If you do not have a Realtor, I can assist you on the island of Oahu. If you need an agent on another island?I know some very good ones on every island.?Call or email me and I will point you in the right direction.

Those are the most common questions we get when a client is starting their search for a home. The process of buying a home is completely different for everyone, but the tools and professionals are available to assist you.

    Life Insurance: Is Mortgage Protection Your ... - Life Insurance Health

    When you are first starting out and you don?t have many assets beyond the home you just bought, life insurance mortgage protection might seem like the best option. However, it is often wise to look around and see what other life insurance benefits you may need. Even if you don?t need them now, you should anticipate what you might need down the road.

    What Is Mortgage Protection?

    Mortgage protection is credit life insurance purchased directly from your mortgage lender or separately from your insurance agent that pays off the mortgage in the event that you die before the home is paid off.

    Advantages of Mortgage Protection

    The cost of mortgage protection can be included in your monthly mortgage payment so you don?t have to worry about missing a payment. If you die unexpectedly, the principal loan balance is paid off so that your family does not lose the home.

    Disadvantages of Mortgage Protection

    The cost of this kind of protection is based on the amount of coverage that you need, and can be extraordinarily expensive. In addition, the beneficiary is the lender, not your heirs, so the money goes directly to the bank.

    Other Options

    Rather than spending a lot of money on mortgage protection that only protects you to a limited extent, consider investing in a whole life or universal life policy that can build cash value, will pay a death benefit directly to your heirs, and can include credit life insurance that will pay off all of your loans, not just your house.

    The money you invest in a whole life or universal life insurance policy is tax deferred. The death benefit paid to your heirs is typically not taxed. Additionally, if you have a difficult financial period, most of these policies have flexible payment terms and payments can be made by deducting the premium from the cash balance.

    Another advantage of a whole life or universal life policy over that of basic mortgage protection is that you can borrow against the cash value of your life insurance without having to pay taxes on the money or incur tax penalties. The loan you take against the cash value can simply be deducted from the death benefit when the claim is processed.

    A Word of Caution

    Experts in the insurance industry advise their clients to never purchase credit life insurance through credit card companies or mortgagors because of the high cost and low benefit. Always seek the advice of your insurance agent and find out what options there are given your circumstances. You can save a lot of money in the long run by doing some short-term investigating at the start.

    Difference In Taste Among Light And Dark Chocolate - Food And Drink

    How To Get pleasure from Eating Extremely Dark Chocolate

    There can be a large distinction in taste in between light and dark chocolate. Milk chocolate has that creamy, milky, and quite sweet taste. Dark chocolate is more bitter than it is sweet, and there is no milky taste to it. Though modern day society is most accustomed to the milky, sugary stuff, there are these who have trained their palette to accept the darkest of dark chocolate, which is the healthiest selection when it comes to chocolate.

    Chocolate enthusiasts will frequently seek out the very best with the highest percentage of cocoa. 70% is good, but 80% of even 90% might be even greater. In truth, there are even some really brave individuals who so a lot love dark chocolate, they will consider consuming 99% cocoa material chocolate, the purest of all chocolate. Of course, this is not one thing that just any person can do. A specified tolerance requirements to be constructed up, and this desires to be done cautiously and very slowly. So, how do you do it?

    1. When Tasting, Decide on A Glass Of Water Rather Than A Glass Of Milk

    1st of all, you want to make positive not to consume also significantly chocolate in just one particular sitting. This could lead to stomach cramps. Keep some water on hand. Drink water rather of milk to stay away from erasing the flavor of the chocolate and avoiding stomach aches. No matter how much you crave a glass of milk, bear in mind that water is very best.

    2. Extremely Tiny Portions

    You might consider that one square of chocolate is a little adequate portion, but consider once again! You may need to have to bite off even smaller chunks to get utilized to the taste. You want to be careful what you do when it enters your mouth. Check out to let it float in and around your mouth rather than just site on your tongue. Makes it possible for the wealthy and bitter flavor to seep in gradually and you?ll commence to observe the complexity of the tasteful sensations that really dark bitter has to supply us.

    three. Rinse And Repeat!

    As lengthy as you do this often, gradually, with really little portions, and retaining a small glass of water at hand although you let the modest chunks of very dark chocolate wander around your mouth, you will learn to build a really good preference for extremely dark chocolate over time. However, there are those who can acquire the taste swiftly, whereas there will be these who won?t be able to obtain the taste at all.

    You could evaluate this form of taste tasting to the similarities of quite robust coffee, such as black espresso or a thing similar. It will take time to build a taste for one thing so bitter and so sturdy, but when done strategically and gradually, it?s extremely achievable to learn how to enjoy incredibly bitter chocolate!
