NBA Preview: #29 Utah Jazz

#29: Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz could be in some trouble as they approach the start of the 2014 NBA season. Why, you may ask? Well, seeing that the most interesting news about the Jazz this offseason were the naked photos that leaked of Trey Burke, probably doesn’t give the most hope for the team moving forward. The Jazz have been in “long-term rebuilding mode” for quite sometime now. Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap both came and went, and now the team will be lucky to keep their head above water this season. 
The Jazz will look (and hope) for Gordon Hayward to lead this young team into some type of relevancy. The Jazz matched the four-year max contract offer that the Charlotte Hornets offered him in the offseason, so now they officially have a ton invested in the wingman from Butler. Hayward is an above average NBA player, but how many legitimate teams would actually pay this dude max money? Seems like more of a desperation move than anything. Last season Hayward averaged 16 points with five assists and five rebounds. He will be one of the few scoring options this team will have, so don’t be surprised to see those numbers will improve this season. 
Derrick Favors is another player the Jazz are hoping can help lead this young team. Last season he averaged 13 points to go along with eight rebounds. Those stats aren’t terrible, but going into last season the Jazz was hoping he would emerge as one of the better post players in the league after Jefferson and Millsap bounced out of town. If Favors and big-man Enes Kanter can get in a rhythm and team up to dominate the post, the Jazz will be able to rebound with anyone. Kanter had a lot of promise after sitting out at Kentucky for a year and declaring for the draft, he’s just yet to show all of that promise. Going into last season I thought this post duo would be one to reckon with but I was clearly wrong. There’s still hope though because both players are still very young and still have plenty of potential.
It’ll be interesting to see what the Jazz decide to do with their point-guard position this season. They drafted Trey Burke in the lottery two years ago, and then drafted Australian phenom Dante Exum in this year’s lottery. I’m still skeptical about Burke’s pro potential because of his size. He can shoot with the best of them, but last season he only averaged 12 points and five assists. Those stats aren’t bad for a rookie, but he had plenty of opportunities on a team that was going nowhere and giving away shots to anyone who wanted them. Literally there was so many shots to go around it was like an open bar. Exum is actually one of my favorite prospects in the 2014 draft class, because he has the potential to be one of the top guards in the league. His long length, and knack for finding his teammates should translate well in today’s NBA. He made it no secret that he wanted to be drafted to the Lakers, so it’ll be interesting how he adapts to Utah after coming from “The Land Down Under”. 
The Jazz also has Alec Burks who they could start at shooting guard this season. Last year he averaged 13 points and played okay under the circumstances. Steve Novak is also on this team, so he should be able to help with shooting off of the bench. Former dunk champion Jeremy Evans will be another “key” contributor off of the bench this season.
Potential Starters
PG: Trey Burke
SG: Alec Burkes
SF: Gordon Hayward
PF: Derrick Favors

Bowhunting can vary from being expensive to being dirt-cheap. It depends on the equipment. Going with a name brand like Hoyt or Matthews could raise the price steeply. The choice of bow not only depends on how well it feels being held, but also how well it feels when the arrow is shot sending it soaring through the air.
Bowhunting Takes More Than A Bow!
In order to begin bowhunting, start with finding the perfect bow to buy. Archery Shop prices may be intimidating with $1000 bows hanging on the. Just walk past them and the perfect bow may be hanging on the wall right in the back of the store. The biggest mistake someone could make would be to buy any bow before shooting it at least 10 times at the store. This is because it all matters on how the bow feels when it is shot. Does it feel rough or does the whole shooting process flow smoothly? This process could be time consuming in order to find “the one” that steals a bowhunters heart. 
 After the bow, there are many different paths all leading to the same result. The path Minnesota Outsider would choose first would be the arrow rest for the bow. This is critical in bowhunting because it determines how well the arrow stays in place, how quiet a bow is when shot, and how accurate each arrow is. “Shelf Arrow Rest, Drop Away Arrow Rest, and Whisker Biscuits are the three basic types of arrow rests” (Elegant Themes). Whisker Biscuits are best known for keeping an arrow in place at all times. The shelf arrow rest is the traditional style that has to prongs allowing the arrow to sit on it, while the drop away arrow rest is an advanced style that drops the rest away when the bow pushes the arrow out so the arrow’s rest does not adjust the arrows path. The more advanced arrow rests are going to be the better rests because of all the qualities that make it better, like the drop away action of the rest. Once the hunter chooses the desired rest, the sight is the next chosen path.
Sights are all opinion based, and no sight is going to outdo the other if sighted in the proper way. There are the more advanced sights, for instance, dial operated ones, and there will be the plain ones that have three pins and nothing else. Dial operated ones are great if the hunter is willing to spend $204.99 according to Cabela’s Official Website (Cabela's). Again, this is mainly opinionated at which sight is less distracting and is easier for the hunter to use. Sights are very important though because the wrong sight could make a hunter not be able to shoot the big buck at dawn because the sight has no light on it. The light can change the whole ability to hunt at dawn.

NBA Preview: #30 Philadelphia 76ers

Posted | Views: 1,101
As I took a gander through the Philadelphia 76ers lineup, I found it hard to find very many players name's that I recognized. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the first indication of a team that isn't very good. I’ve been deeply invested in the NBA since before I can remember, and if I’m having trouble finding eight guys that I’ve heard of, then your team is probably going to suck. Unfortunately for the 76ers and head coach Brett Brown, they're that sucky team.
Don’t get me wrong, the Sixers have some young talent that will eventually blossom into stardom, but the roster they have now is purely pathetic. The reason I’m so harsh? Philadelphia been somewhat vocal in their intentions these last couple of seasons. Their game plan hasn’t been to win as many games as possible, in fact it’s just the opposite. The Sixers have tried to lose as many games as possible to hopefully win the NBA draft Lotery and get the #1 pick. Last season they were successful in losing a plethora of games, but they weren’t in their attempts to get the first pick of the draft.
So what did the Sixers do instead? They drafted ANOTHER injured college star (Embiid), with hopes of failing miserably once again. I understand their thinking…. Trust me. I know that a team with Michael Carter Williams along with a healthy Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid would be a stellar force to be reckoned with, but that won’t be for quite some time. The Sixers will also get a promising newcomer from next year’s draft once the Sixers stink their way to 15 wins again. I know that young talent is valuable in the NBA, but is it worth being the laughing stock of the league for three years? We shall see….
For this season, we can expect Michael-Carter Williams to put up good numbers yet again in games that don’t matter. In all seriousness, Carter-Williams can play. He was nowhere near the problem for the Sixers last season. He won Rookie of the Year honors, and was truly the only bright spot for this team. He averaged 17 points per game to go along with six rebounds and six assists. Carter-Williams is very well rounded and uses his length well at the point guard position. Smaller guards have a hard time matching up with his wing-span. The one positive to the Sixers sucking is that Carter-Williams was given a chance to play through his mistakes worry free. He literally had no pressure, since nobody expected them to win. Hopefully that experience will pay off this season. 
Last year the Sixers were without Nerlens Noel because of an injury he sustained while still playing at Kentucky. The organization thought it would be best not to rush him back since the team was so bad. Many people are expecting big things out of Noel this upcoming season now that he’s finally healthy. At one point in college, Noel was projected to be the number one pick in the draft, and he probably would’ve been if he wouldn’t have torn his ACL. He had a great summer league this year and could really prove to be the best player on this team even in his first season of actually playing. 
Embiid has the exact story as Noel, so with a year of rest this season on his surgically repaired foot will eventually get him ready to team up with Carter-Willams and Noel for the 2015-16 season. That leaves slim pickins for the rest of the Sixers roster. Jason Richardson is on his last leg, but he will hopefully bring some veteran leadership to this team. Casper Ware and Tony Wroten are two other players who should bring depth to the team’s backcourt. Wroten could end up starting in the back court if they decide to go the dual point guard way. I fully expect the Sixers to yet again have one of the worst records in the league. I’m not a fortune teller, but I could see this team making some noise in about two or three years once their youngins grow up a little bit.

and he started to cut her fingers off one by one  and all you could see is tears run down her face.
he than put a pot on with water in it and put her fingers in the pot and than went back to her and started to cut layers of skin off her and put it in the pot. than he waited for it to cook.... so he sat around reading the news paper and waited for his meal to be cooked .
finally after 45 mintuesit was done he sat down and started to eat her fingers and her layers of skin.
