If you like lighthouses, this is a good one. The only drawn is the $6.00 it cost to enter the Harbor Town area (stores, restaurants, and housing area). You can set in a rocker, look at the yachts and dream!
Some may not be happy about paying five dollars per car to enter the area, but it is a beautiful place to visit. We loved the view of mossy trees shading the drive and gorgeous homes on the way to Harbour Town. The marina is delightful with adorable shops/treats and playground for kids of all ages. Older kids were climbing...
This is a nice place to go to. The Museum shows the history of the development of Hilton Head Island, and the view from the very top is great.
It is very good maintaining place. You can walk around the area or going up there. Walking around the harbor is cool. We love watching many old trees near the lighthouse.
I read a recent review that said that coming to Sea Pines and Harbour Town was not worth the hassle or the $6 daily charge. I feel for them, if they had done a bit of research they would have discovered the Forest Reserve, South Beach, Sea Pines Club and lots of wildlife and beaches. I hope they come back...
Nice shops and places to eat all around the lighthouse. Lots of rocking chairs under the live oaks that hang over the boardwalk. The walk to the top of the lighthouse has many interesting articles, artifacts, and photos of earlier times on HHI. Great view from the top.
There is a park on the grounds that the smaller children seemed...
Very close to many of the hotels at Harbor Pointe. Great little boardwalk around the Marina to the lighthouse. It is not that tall and the climb up is pretty easy. You get a great view from the top of the beautiful shore and properties nearby
Really enjoyed our visit to the "lighthouse". Not a working lighthouse, but one you can climb for a nice view. The harbour is beautiful, especially if you like gawking at other people's yachts! Some cute shops and restaurants and a nice way to spend an hour or two.
To get to the lighthouse and the marina and the shops and anything else in Harbortown, you must pay a day use fee of $6. In cash. There aren't too many shops or restaurants anyway. Basically, we paid $6 to drive through a large private neighborhood. Disappointing. There are many better uses of your time on the island.
Get your heart rate up as you climb 100+ steps to the top for a 360 degree view of Harbour Town, the Sound and Daufuskie Island. Take time to read the exhibits as you climb and you'll leave with much knowledge of the area dating back to the days of the American Indians.

The world is getting smaller. Hidden cash far away will soon be more transparent and seemingly nearer.On February 13 the OECD unveiled a Common Reporting and Due Diligence Standards for the automatic exchange of tax information between tax authorities worldwide, which was endorsed by the G20 in its communique of February 22-23, 2013, in Sydney.Presenting the standard, OECD secretary-general Angel Gurría said: "This is a real game changer. Globalization of the world's financial system has made it increasingly simple for people to make, hold and manage investments outside their country of residence. This new standard on automatic exchange of information will ramp up international tax cooperation, putting governments back on a more even footing as they seek to protect the integrity of their tax systems and fight tax evasion."Israel may soon be part of this process. On January 29, 2013, a bill was sent to the Knesset that would enable the government to sign up to such a process.
The OECD Common Reporting Standard: The CRS would be part of a bilateral or multilateral Competent Authority Agreement for information exchange. This would a reciprocal agreement between governments requiring financial institutions to check their clients and report their accounts according to detailed rules.The CRS calls on governments to obtain information from their financial institutions and exchange that information automatically with other jurisdictions on an annual basis. It sets out the financial account information to be exchanged, the financial institutions that need to report, the different types of accounts and taxpayers covered, as well as common due diligence procedures to be followed by financial institutions.The standard draws on previous OECD work on the automatic exchange of information. It aims to be tougher than the European Union Savings Directive. It also reflects many elements of the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.More than 40 countries have committed to early adoption of the CRS. The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, hosted by the OECD, brings together 121 jurisdictions worldwide. It was mandated by the G20 to monitor and review implementation of the standard.The OECD is expected to deliver a detailed commentary on the standard, as well as technical solutions to implement the actual information exchanges, during a meeting of G20 finance ministers in September 2014.The CRS covers all types of investment income, including interest, dividends, insurance policy pay-outs and similar income, as well as account balances and the proceeds of selling assets.Not only banks will have to report. Other covered institutions include brokers, collective investment vehicles and insurance companies. They will have to carry out due diligence checks and report virtually all accounts held by individuals, companies and other entities including trusts and foundations.In the case of existing accounts having a value below $1 million, a reporting financial institution may treat an account holder as resident in the jurisdiction in which the account holder is resident for tax purposes based on documentary evidence of a residence address. Documentary evidence includes a certificate of residence or valid identification issued by a government. In the case of an entity, documentary evidence includes any official documentation naming the entity or any audited financial statement, third party credit report, bankruptcy filing or securities regulator report.If the reporting financial institution does not rely on documentary evidence of a residential address, it must conduct an electronic search of data it holds and treat the individual as resident in each jurisdiction in which an "indicium" of residence is identified. These indicia are identification, mailing or residence address, telephone number, standing instruction to transfer funds there, power of attorney or signatory authority.If a "hold mail" or "in-care-of" address is discovered, an additional paper record search is required.In the case of a high value account above $1m., the electronic and paper record searches must be conducted. Any relationship manager assigned must also be consulted about the holder's status.Note that existing entity accounts with a value or balance below US$250,000 need not be reviewed, identified or reported according to the CRS.For new individual accounts, tax residence would mainly be determined using anti-money laundering/know your customer procedures.The Israeli information exchange bill: As mentioned, on January 29 draft amendment 200 was sent to the Knesset for debate and enactment. It would enable the government to enter into information exchange agreements, not only tax treaties. An information exchange agreement would be between Israel and another state (or territory elsewhere that is not a state) for tax enforcement purposes only. This would be notwithstanding the Israeli Tax Authority's obligation to maintain confidentiality. It is not clear if Israel could also sign up to a multilateral agreement.Comments: The above OECD draft and Knesset draft bill are not yet effective, but look like being so in the next year or two. Governments are minded to enhance tax enforcement rather than raise tax rates. But a game of cat and mouse may still develop. Fragmented balances below $250,000 held by entities may proliferate. And individuals will check where they have identity numbers and telephone numbers, among other things....email@example.com

Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

Nov 26, 2010This has become one of the great games in the Warlords series. Patch 1.05 makes this one of the most challenging and hardest games I've ever played. The bugs are gone and the strong AI is in and if I know many of you out there reading this that is what you want to know about most is how good is the AI? Well it will stomp you on just medium difficulty time and time again. You'll need some strong retinues to get to the higher levels of difficulty also. Great game buy it if you can still find it.… Full Review »

If you're being approached by a photographer with a large, antique-looking camera, who is asking you to pose with a stranger, it's probably Richard Renaldi. The photographer traveled around the country for his project "Touching Strangers," the book of which was published by Aperture this past spring. His method was fairly simple: he would chose a background and then introduce himself to the first stranger that he wanted to cast as part of his portrait. Continue reading
When the "Bat-Man" first appeared, he did so from the shadows, clad in a vampiric cowl with slits for eyes, long, sharp ears and a cape with bat-like wings. That was in 1939, in the pages of Detective Comics No. 27. Six months later, when Batman's creators realized they had a hit on their hands, they revealed his traumatic childhood. As a boy, Bruce Wayne watched a criminal gun down his parents in a street robbery. Alone and orphaned with tears streaming down his pink face, he resolved to spend his life fighting violent crime. "Criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot," he famously declared, as he vowed to "strike terror in their hearts."

I have been using Juice Beauty Skincare over the last year and find their skincare products work very well, HOWEVER, I don't care for their lip balm at all. They have a strange taste to them, they don't stay on more than a minute or two and they have a strange smell as well. Recently I determined that I'm Gluten Intolerant. I had heard there were bad things in most makeups, but had no idea there's gluten in lipsticks?!
I found Red Apple's website and took a chance. In my 1st order I got the Rallye Balm and Exfoliate duo. This product arrived in 2 days! Unheard of! I ripped into that package like a kid at Christmas! Within 2 days of use, my chapped lips had greatly improved. Its been a little over a week now and OMG my lips are healthy, smooth and soft as a rose petal! The balm stays on and I use it under one of Jay's great lipsticks. You have NEVER tried a product like this, do yourself a huge favor. You won't be sorry. I'm a customer for life! Thanks Jay!

Chronic dry lips no more! This is a really terrific duo. I have been using at night. I use the balm suing my golf rounds to keep lips moist. Love knowing I am not smoothing with chemicals.

Hayfever occasionally affects my lips leaving them severely chapped. After purchasing many products to help relieve my symptoms, this is the only product that healed my lips and they are nearly back to normal! I'm especially impressed with the exfoliator. I'm placing another order today!

Within minutes my lips felt better than they ever have in the past 7 years. My lips no longer burn, and they look amazing. I feel great about using this product because of how safe it is.

The very first time I used the exfoliator and Rallye Balm I seen and felt a change in my lips and how smooth they felt. The best part was my hubby noticed a difference and told me my lips looked healthy and had their beautiful color back.

Hi. I LOVE my new lipstick! I am increasingly concerned about what I put in, or ON my body.. Knowing this is toxic free, and still so very beautiful makes me feel good. I have VERY chapped lips.. they seem to want to stay that way all year long.. Ive tried many many things.. my Rallye balm/exfoliate hasnt had time to heal it completely yet.. but by following Jay's tips.. I do see improvement. Best part.. I get complimented all day long on the color... ( and I only have to apply it twice a day!!)
Posted by Nancy on 19th Feb 2014
I love the newer casing if the rallye balm. They seem very sturdy and will be able to take a beating in my purse.

Rallye Balm Exfoliate Duo is a MUST have!! The fabulous price and state of the art products put gorgeous luscious smiles on your lips and nothing but compliments from friends. Great PR for Red Apple :o)
Posted by Joan on 11th Dec 2013
Hi Jay
I relly am enjoying the rallye balm + exfoliate duo. My lips are always dry and chapped. I have used many over the counter balms, but none worked like your. I had cold sores as well and they left my lips dry and after exfoliating several times my lips had improved. When I apply my lipgloss now my lips look so much better. I was always a little self conscious of my dry lips when talking to people. Kuddos to the duo. I highly recommend them. As far as the lipglosses they are awesome and I love using both at the same time. I can't wait to try your eye shadows. Thanks to my daughter for introducing me to your products. Joan
Posted by Melissa on 10th Dec 2013
I tried this product not expecting much results. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked on my chapped lips. This time of year especially I always seem to have chapped lips which lipstick does nothing but call attention to them. I used this product and in three days my lips were smooth and soft and lipstick actually looked good again on my lips. This is so worth the investment! This is my new can't do without product! Will definitely be buying again!

Unidentified gunmen have kidnapped an Indian national in Nigeria's restive oil producing Delta region, police said on Saturday.
The man, who works with a home building and property management company as the general manager, was kidnapped on Saturday, said Rita Abbey, the police spokesperson in Port Harcourt.
No group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.
Ms. Abbey said police had followed kidnappers in hopes of rescuing the man.
But the attempt by the police to trail the kidnappers and rescue the victim and another eight-month old infant, who was kidnapped on Thursday, was not successful.
Officials at the Indian High Commission here said they are monitoring the situation very closely and hoped that the security operatives will rescue the man whose name is yet to be disclosed.
Foreign workers in the Delta region have faced series of kidnappings that come with demand for large ransom by the abductors.
Several Indians have been kidnapped in the past with the most recent being a tanker crew worker Banjit Singh Dhindsa, who works for Sichem Peace, by members of the militant group Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND).

Star Wars… The Reason I Became A Film Maker – My Story (Part I)
It was May, 1977…
My Brother, Mom and I went to see the Original "Star Wars"
My Brother and My Lives would never the same
That Opening Sequence…
The Size of the Ship
And in Walked My Favorite All Time Villain, Darth Vader
The Cape, The Helmet, The Voice
The Force…
He's Affected me forever in regards to Villains
He has, in fact, Set The Bar
And has Lead me Directly to my Theory that
In a Story where there are 'Good Guys'
And there are 'Bad Guys'
(Be it Movie, Book or Other)
A Story can only be as good as 'The Bad Guy'
Cuz who cares if the Good Guy Defeats some Fool, Lol
Check My Theory Out on some of your Favorite Good Guy Bad Guy Films
Flashback to
"Robin Hood Prince of Thieves"
That Movie would have been Horrible without Alan Rickman as The Sheriff of Nottingham
(It's Still Pretty Horrible, and Dated, Lol but Rickman was Hilarious)
Flash Forward to
Tom Hiddleston as Loki
Guarantee you, if Loki had been Played by anyone less then him
It wouldn't have done nearly as well
At the time I saw "Star Wars", I was 8 years old
And, in Truth, I was more of a 'Han Solo' guy
My Bro was into 'Luke'
Which worked out good in regards to Toys, and/or Acting out Scenes Etc.
But Looking back now, I have really gained an Appreciation for Luke's Character
He is Hope… He is Light
And I do believe, Visually, George Lucas was inspired a bit by…
Peter O'toole as Lawrence…
The Desert…
The White Clothing, and White/Blonde Hair
Very Luke-esq
Also, did you see Alec Guiness in it as a Sheik?
Probably where Lucas got the idea to bring him into "Star Wars"
Which leads us to… Ben
Enter… The Force
And… Light Sabers
Which are a Simply Elegant Weapon
And Damn Cool Looking, Lol
But I Love Knights, so
The Blend of Sci-Fi, and Knights…
I was Done
But it's Time For 'The Man'
He was My Favorite Man…
I wanted to be 'Han Solo'
Me, and a Million other young Boys, Lol
So a Young Hopeful Hero (Luke)
And an Aging Knight of the Jedi Order (Ben)
Along with a Roguish Pilot (Han Solo)
An Annoying Nagging Robot (C-3PO)
With a Hilarious Beeping Robot (R2d2)
Oh, an a Giant Wolf/Bear Growling Co-Pilot (Chewbacca)
off to Save a Princes (Leia)
From the Coolest Evil Dude in Film (Darth Vader)
Great Start, Right?
Oh, and did I mention the Millennium Falcon?

The Writer – Keeping The Dream Alive
by DarkJade
I Find Myself in an Interesting Place
I just Read Two Different Articles with Completely Different Opinions about "Giving Free" Copies of your Ebook away.
One Article seemed very Intelligent, and left me feeling like it would be a good Idea to Give a Copy of My Novella "I Died Once" away…
Followed by a Second Article, that was pretty much saying that Social Media basically Creates More Social Media, Lol
As opposed to Book Sales that is.
There are Certain Built in 'Inner Conflicts' in pursuing a Professional Career as a Writer.
Conflicts I also ran into when I was briefly pursuing Film Making for a Few years.
And they are this…
1) Yes, I'd Like to be Making a Living from My Writing…
Nothing wrong with that… Right? Being Paid for what your Passionate about… Not having to do a 40 hours a week Office Job Etc…. Or so it was with me anyways
Yes, for me it went something like this…
- Bus Boy at a Restaurant (First Job)
- Box Boy, then Meat Clerk at a Market (Like, 3rd and 4th Job)
- 5 Years of Data Entry, and/or Office Jobs (Arghh, Artificial Lighting, Lol)
- 6 1/2 Years Inside Sales (I actually did well at this, but was completely fried on Sales by the end of it)
Before I finally said $@#$ it! and walked away from the High Paying Job, and started to take other more basic jobs to pay the bills while I pursued Film Making.
Granted, I didn't have any Kids, so it was a bit easier to take this kind of Risk…
I then spent the next 3 years Pursuing Film Making, whilst taking an assortment of jobs to pay the bills, eat, and roof over my head kind of thing.
And I have to tell you, it was completely Satisfying.
Then I ran into some Medical Issues which slowed me up a bit… Don't worry, I'm fine now… But during this time where I found myself at Home a bunch, I shifted My Film Making pursuits into Screenplay Writing Pursuits.
Yes, I spent a lot of time Watching Old Classic Movies, which got me even Further In Touch with 'True' Story Telling… But it also turned me off the Current Film Industry a bit, which made shifting to Screenplay Writing from Film Making a bit easier then if My Health had Forced me to Give up My Dream.
Wrote Screenplays for a couple years, without being able to establish an Agent (Though I only sent a Hand Full of Query Letters Out), then sat Writing down for a while… These are things I've mentioned before. Yes, I fell in love, and played lots of World of Warcraft for a while, Lol
But I needed the Break… I'd Worked from the age of 15, and then went right into Passionately Pursuing My Dreams for 6 Years after that…
But mostly the Medical Scare, though I got through that, Created the Need to just take a Break for a bit.
And last year, just as I was about to get into Writing again, My Girlfriend and I broke up…
Two Months later, I Created This Blog, and spent the Next Year+ Writing, and Writing, and Writing. (The Goal was to get into the Habit of Writing, which Worked, 800-1,200 Words Per day on Average)
A Lot of Poetry… A Lot of Blog Stories… My "I Died Once" Novella… My Up and Coming Fantasy Novel "Chess With Agatha"… And My Vampire Series "Allure" which I will Publish as Short Novella's next year…
And That's when I began Self Publishing My Own Work
But first, My 2nd Point about Why I Want To Write
2) I'm a Storyteller… I want to Get My Stories Out, and Share them with People that might Enjoy the Worlds, and or Characters I Create.
For this I largely Blame George Lucas… His First Two "Star Wars" Movies not only Inspired me to be a Film Maker… They also Inspired me to be a Storyteller.
Sure, he's not the Greatest Writer in the World… There is a Strong Simplicity to the Actual Script and Dialog of his Films…
But… His Story Concept… Story Scope… And Characters… Were Brilliant, Interesting, and Diverse.
Yes I was there… I was a young kid when I saw these first two Films… And it not only Changed The Film Industry… It Changed the World.
Well… At least for me.
But My Points are this
1) I Want to be a Professional Writer… Be Paid To Weave Tales, and Share them with People
2) I Want to Write Stories, Tell Stories, and Share Stories with as many People as care to Check them out. To Connect with the Readers, and possibly even be Inspired by other Writers as well. Which by the way I have been in the last Year+ that I've been Writing/Blogging.
So when I look at the Possibility of Giving Out Free Digital Copies of My Novella "I Died Once" (Something I hadn't planned on doing)… Whether it Generates Future Interest in me as a Writer, and Perhaps My Future Books or not… One thing that it does for sure, is Share the Stories in My Head with as Many People as are Interested in taking a Peak.
Nuff Said

Disney Buys Lucas Film For 4.05 Billion – It's A Changing WorldPosted in Childhood, Dreams, Editorial, Entertainment, Film Making, Inspiration, Life, Star Wars with tags Disney Buys Lucas Film on October 30, 2012 by darkjade68
Disney Buys Lucas Film For 4.05 Billion – It's A Changing World
I have to admit, I have mixed feelings about this.
Mostly because I saw the Original "Star Wars" in the Theater in 1977, which basically lead to me pursuing Film Making in 2000-2003.
Granted, both "Walt Disney" (The Man), and George Lucas are two of my Greatest/Fondest Heroes… Walt Disney even more than George Lucas.
So in one Respect, I'm totally for it.
Also, I know/realize that George is getting older…
But in truth, I really never expected him to let go of Lucas Film… And what I mean by that is, it just never passed through my mind that he'd sell it.
I will say this about Disney, their movies weren't doing that good, especially one of their last ones, "John Carter", which by the way is a fun movie to watch.
But one thing that the Newest President of Disney did do that was Brilliant, was Purchase Marvel Comics a hand full of years back… Now that was brilliant thinking… Just like purchasing Pixar was brilliant.
As we all know, the Marvel Films are doing Extremely well in Sales (The Avengers was the 3rd Worldwide Grossing Film in History, behind Titanic and Avatar)… So basically Pixar saved their Animated Department, and Marvel has saved their Movie Department… At least in my opinion.
And now there's whispers about Disney making a New Star Wars Film in 2015… All I can say is… Wow… We'll have to see.
But that's ok.
My first instinct is "Get J. J. Abrams" Aboard maybe to Film it… He is an Awesome Producer (He Produces "Person of Interest" which is a Brilliant T.V. Show, and many many others), and Film Maker (He did the New Star Trek).
But enough of all this… For me it feels like a bit of a Sad Day to see George Sell his Brain Child… But from a Pure 'Mortality', and 'Business' standpoint, it makes perfect sense.
Good Luck Disney
DarkJade Presents – My Sci-Fi PathPosted in Entertainment, Inspiration, Movies, Science Fiction, Star Wars with tags Blade Runner, Flash Gordon, Star Trek, The Empire Strikes Back, Tron on September 8, 2012 by darkjade68
DarkJade Presents – My Sci-Fi Path
As I've said many times before, The Original "Star Wars", and "The Empire Strikes Back" were the two Films that Inspired me to Pursue Film Making…
But I thought it was time I Truly Shared My Path Through the Sci-Fi Genre, which basically started in the 70's for me when I was very young.
Space 1999 (1975-1977)
Now I don't remember when I started watching "Space 1999″, it probably wasn't as early as 1975… But sometime when I was very young, I did watch it… And it was Cool, Lol
Wow, that was kind of painful, Lol… The 70's man, Lol
Then came the Original "Star Wars", and that was it, I was 'hooked' on Sci-Fi.
I was Han Solo, My Brother was Luke, and My Favorite All Time Villain Became Darth Vader.
Star Trek (1966-1969)
And of course "Star Trek" Reruns were on T.V. frequently, which were just Awesome… Spock was, and is, my favorite Star Trek Character.
The Ultimate in Sci-Fi Melodrama, Lol… With a sprinkle of Shakespearean Undertones for Good Measure, Lol
Buck Rogers In The 25th Century (1979)
I hardly remember the Buck Rodgers Television Show, but I know My Brother and I used to Watch it, Lol
Wow… Wow… The 70's… Wow, Lol
Planet Of The Apes (1968)
Somewhere in there the "Planet of the Apes" Movies were on T.V. on some of the Channels as well…
"TAKE YOUR STINKING PAWS OF ME YOU DAMN DIRTY APE!" Lol
Battlestar Galactica (1978-1979)
We Loved this Show, Lol
Alien (1979)
Yes, are Mom actually took us to this Flick, Lol… Which is a Brilliant Film, but basically Scared the Hell out of My Brother and I, Lol
She regrets taking us, Ha
But in the end, I think we survived it ok, Lol
Uh, Yeah… It was pretty scary for a couple of young kids, Lol
Flash Gordon (1980)
We Loved This Flick, as Cheesy as it was, Lol… In fact I not only met Timothy Dalton years later, but My Current Cat is also Named "Baron", after the Timothy Dalton Character, Lol Not to mention "Queen", and more specifically "Freddy Mercury" was my Favorite All Time Singer…
Spaceships, Hawkmen, Queens Music… Yeah, this was my kind of Flick, Lol
The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
And of course, One of My All Time Favorite Films, "The Empire Strikes Back"… Han was My Man, and this Film was definitely His Film.
In My Opinion, the Best Sci-Fi Film Ever… No "Star Wars"… No "The Empire Strikes Back"… No "Star Wars"… And so it Goes, Lol
But I will Say The First Two Star Wars Films are one of My Main Motivations Behind My Focus of "Characters", "Story", and "Character & Story" Development. And the Importance of a Great Villain.
Blade Runner (1982)
"Blade Runner"… Also one of the Most Brilliant Sci-Fi Films Ever Done… Just a Masterpiece… And also very Influential on My Screenplay Writing, for Sure.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
One of the Best Sci-Fi Lines, and Scenes Ever… Wridley Scott is a Film Genius Basically… And of course the Writer Philip K. Dick, whose "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" Book it was based on.
"TRON", a Film Way ahead of its time… My Brother and I Loved This Film.
At a Time when We Lived in Video Game Arcades, it was like Being in One of them…
And the List goes on and on… But those were the one's that got My Bro and I Off the Ground so to speak, in regards to Sci-Fi.
Thanks For Listening/Watching/Reading

As if the ESPN panel was not enough to let us know the Magic will likely sink to the bottom of the Eastern Conference again, a statistical projection from Bradford Doolittle of ESPN Insider has the Magic playing the Lottery again.
"Both SCHOENE and RPM are in agreement about the Magic and Sixers, though it would be a mild surprise if Orlando is actually this bad. As for the Lakers, RPM methodology sees them as about a 24-win team in a vacuum. SCHOENE is at around 30 wins. There is no optimism to be found in either forecast. When you combine those numbers and run them through the gauntlet of a Western Conference schedule, you get the worst season in Lakers history. If the Kobe Bryant of 10 years shows up, sure, things will look better. But it seems like a big 'if.'"
The computer models Doolittle used have the Magic averaging 22.1 wins. That would be taking a step back from last year and finishing with the second worst record in the league. The human predictors do not see the Magic playing that poorly or taking a step back in that way. There would certainly be more pressure in Orlando if this became the case.
Get used to the names Jahlil Okafor and Emmanuel Mudiay.
It would not be too surprising to see the Magic be near the bottom of the Eastern Conference this year. The expectation is that they will continue to improve and show growth. The hope is that means a few more years. The general consensus is the Magic are still a year away from serious Playoff contention.
Luckily, the game is not played on paper.
