Walter Payton, who passed away on November 1, 1999, was the essence of what an NFL player should be. His Hall of Fame career with the Chicago Bears still rings in the ears of Bear’s fans and to this day, sports announcers, still compare rookies to Payton’s running style.

Born in 1954 in Columbia, Mississippi, Walter was smack in the middle of the racially charged South and reflected on that throughout his public career. One of three children, Walter’s youth was not full of the technology of today and kids were kids who fished and played kick-ball and stickball and sports of all kinds. At John Jefferson High School, he found football to be his game and continued on at Jackson State in Jackson, Mississippi.

Payton was fourth in contention for the Heisman Trophy in 1975, the year that saw him becoming Chicago’s fourth draft pick. Walter Payton got off to a slow start his first season, with a mere 7 touchdowns and 679 yards, but gave the world a taste of what would come later in his final game of the season. This game saw the Bears facing off against the New Orleans Saints; Payton made a 134 yard run, something which had not been seen in Chicago since the Gale Sayers era.

In his second season with the Bears, Walter reached 1,000 yards with 13 touchdowns and was named the NFL’s most valuable player in 1977. In 1977, the Bears made the playoffs where Walter ran for 274 yards in one game, a record that wasn’t broken until the year 2000.

Walter Payton was known fondly as “sweetness” to fans and teammates, a nickname which belied his incredible 13 year career record of 16,726 total career-rushing yards, 110 touchdowns and no less than 77 100-yard rushing games.

He made it look easy rushing for 1,000 yards every season between 1976 and 1981 and his first Pro-Bowl came in 1979-he was voted to every Pro-Bowl after that year until his retirement. Although his rushing yard record has been broken, that was mainly due to two strikes during his career in the NFL, which cut the seasons short, and between 1975 and 1977, the NFL season was only 14 games, unlike the 16 games it is today.

With the addition of coach Mike Ditka to the team, Payton saw a new batch of players arrive and the Bears were better than ever. Payton lead a division-leading Chicago Bears and broke Jim Brown’s record for yardage in 1984; ever the gentleman, Payton dedicated this feat to athletes whose careers had ended early due to injuries or illness.

And of course, 1986 was the year of the “Super Bowl Shuffle”, still commonly heard coming from the jukeboxes in Chicago taverns. The Bears had made it to the Super Bowl for the first time and they were victorious over the Patriots in the matchup, with a jaw-dropping 46-10 score.

Payton would retire the following year, seeing a hero’s send off at Chicago’s Soldier Field. He stayed active after his retirement, serving on the Chicago Bears board of directors, starting a racing team and in 1996, opening Walter Payton’s Roadhouse, a restaurant and brewpub. In 1996, Payton was elevated to the NFL Hall of Fame, taking his rightful place among the other legends of the gridiron.

Payton stunned the world in 1999 with his announcement that he had been diagnosed with the rare autoimmune disease Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. Payton was placed on an organ transplant waiting list (it wasn’t his style to use his fame to receive treatment before those even sicker than himself). Tragically, he would pass away in November of that year.

Any Bears fan will instantly associate the number 34 with Payton. He is remembered for his career on the field and still celebrated for his raising awareness of the importance of organ donation, spurring many of the people of Illinois to become organ donors. To this day, Chicago sports fans may get a little misty eyed as they raise a glass of Old Style to their “sweetness”.

Oregon is a vastly agricultural state that also depends upon the treasures of the earth for its economy. For one thing, the land in Willamette Valley owes a lot of its nutrients and minerals from the post Ice Age Missoula Floods, which had deposited rich earth from the areas of western Montana. The soil was substantial in supporting cash crops like potatoes, hops, apples, peppermint and other lesser fruits.

Oregon is also one of the major world hazelnut growing regions, producing and supplying at least 95% of the country’s demand for hazelnuts. Oregon is also known for wine production, with the state ranking at the top 3 among other states for most number of wineries.

The soil conditions and climate make Oregon be able to grow and support grapes that can be found in the French part of Alsace and Burgundy. Pendleton, up in Northern Oregon has land good for growing wheat. Oregon farmers have had success growing sheep, cash cattle, dairy products, poultry and eggs thanks to the suitable environment.

The forests of Oregon had also made the state a major timber producer and logging state. Recent disasters abounding the area (like forest fires) have cut down timber production though. Over harvesting and lack of forest revitalization had also put the forests in near extinction. Lawsuits over improper forest management has delayed help for quite a while. The forest industry had almost collapsed because of over harvesting and failure to maintain the forest. Effects can still be felt with the current unemployment boom in Oregon and contention issues between the urban part of Oregon and the rural part of it.

Oregon is also known for its salmon-fishing industries, with ocean fisheries reducing the upstream-traveling fishes in recent years. The salmon phenomenon draws strong tourism in the state. With whatever forests that are left, protect the waterfalls and lakes of national parks like the Crater Lake National Park.

Brewing a great cup of coffee requires 4 things: the best coffee beans you can find; a grinder; a brewing device; and pure, cold water. Here is a guide for creating a perfect cup of coffee right at home. Many people buy their coffee from the grocery store. Most selections are drinkable. However, the issue with grocery store coffee — even national brands — is freshness. Once roasted, any coffee’s quality decreases with time, like fresh baked bread. An incredible cup of coffee demands not only fresh, but high quality beans. Coffee shops that roast, or roaster-only operations have the freshest coffee. Find a local shop/roaster, or search online.

Coffee purchased from these retailers will consist of specialty Arabica beans that meet very high standards of both quality and growing conditions. “Specialty” is an actual grade of coffee - the highest. Beans that meet this standard have almost no noticeable defects.

Most of the coffee grown and harvested comes from near the equator. This is including the U.S. (Hawaii). Central, South America and the Caribbean also produce coffee in this hemisphere. African, Arabian, Asian, and Indonesian countries produce in the eastern hemisphere. Single origin coffee is what it sounds like, coffee from a single place. When coffees from different countries from different roasts are called mixed blends.Thus, blends often have names that don’t always reflect their origin, like Breakfast Blend, or Uncle Ben’s Blend.

For the best tasting cup of coffee it is best to buy whole beans and grind them just before brewing. Coffee can be ground by whirling blades — a blade grinder, or crushed by two sets of precisely milled metal teeth called burrs. A burr grinder is considered superior to the blade style because it grinds more evenly.

For the ultimate in coffee experience, you should consider using a French press. Regardless of price, they all do the same thing the same way. Operation is very simple: dump in your coarsely ground coffee, add hot water, stir, and wait 4 minutes. Then press down the plunger and pour the coffee into your cup. This gives the best extraction off the coffee over a brew style.

Filtered water is important. A cup of coffee is about 97% water. Regardless of the brewing method always use filtered water — not direct tap or distilled. Tap water is tainted and will give you off flavors. Most homes are using filtered water, or distilled water now. If you won’t drink the water plain, don’t use it for coffee.

The last thing is, how much yield do I get from one pound of coffee? The standard brewing method is 1 tablespoon (approximately oz) of ground coffee per 6 ounces of water. (You can adjust the ratio to your taste.) Most mugs hold 12 ounces, requiring about ” oz of ground coffee. Assuming one mug per day, (30 mugs times ” ounce) that’s roughly one pound per month. That is for one person. So, decrease the time proportionately as you add more people or consumption.

The economics of California holds a direct influence on the monetary system of the United States of America, due to the fact that the state pays more than as to the benefits it receives from monetary funds and benefits.

There are at least four major economic regions surrounding California. Hollywood, whose movies and projects cost and create a lot of money. California Central Valley, responsible for agriculture and the produce that supplies the state and its surrounding neighbors. Silicon Valley, which deals with the production, creation and development of computer hardware and electronic devices. And the wineries of California, particularly Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley and others.

By 2002, these regions were divided and more were added to the classification system. Among these were: Trade, Transportation and Utilities, Government, Professional and Business Service Providers, Education and Health, Leisure and Hospitality, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Construction, Information, Internet Business and Marketing and Agriculture.

The state also draws a lot of its input from tourism and international trade; after all, California IS the ‘melting pot’ of cultures in the United States. The tourism department makes at least an annual income of 134 billion dollars; with one third of that only coming from exports. The 96 billion something dollars left comes from revenue from direct traveling in to California.

California also competes with the other states in terms of agricultural produce. This includes the production of wines, cheese, dairy products, fruits and vegetables. California has been known to lead in the dairy category, with milk being the number one farming commodity, and has generated jobs and employment for at least 400,000 people far across the state.

Digging for oil, so called liquid-gold, has also been under development. So far, rich strikes have been made near the Californian Coasts, Long Beach and Los Angeles. Oil drilling is not something new, it has actually supported the state over the years, now only making an appearance due to reduced and cheaper costs in drilling for oil around these areas.

A pike is a fish that is usually very easy to catch. There are however a few things you need to know. To illustrate these points we will use an example.

If you have ever watched an animal program about wolves and lions, you should have noticed a key difference between these two predators. Even if they have the same object, the reach it in two very different ways.

The wolf is an animal that chases its prey for a long time. It can chase it for days before finally catching up. This strategy is also used by a fish, the salmon. It hunts in much the same manner as the wolf with long chases and few surprises.

Lions have a totally different tactic. It waits for food to come walking by. It can lie in high grass, hiding, for several hours just waiting. When an animal finally comes walking by, the lion rushes out and grabs it before the animal know what is going on. This the same tactic as the pike uses. It lies on the bottom and waits for its prey.

Does this information do us any good when we are fishing? Of course it does. It tells us where we should look for the pike. And that can be the difference between catching one and going home with an empty bag. And now we know that the pike likes places it can hide.

Secondly, we learn that the pike often is close to the bottom. This is because there is more places to hide there. This is where we want to fish for pike.

So what should we use to catch a pike? the first thing that comes to mind is a sinking wobbler. A wobbler is a lure that is very similar to a real fish. Not only that. It is very much like an injured real fish. Therefore it looks like an easy target for the pike. Another popular bait is the live baits. These have often showed a very impressive catch.

If you are planning on going to Hawaii, you probably are making a list of places to go see and activities to do. You need to include some of the national parks they have on your list. There are some sights to behold in these national parks. Of course you may not have time to travel to all of them. So put the four that are going to be listed below on your list, and you will have a good sample of what these parks have to offer you.

You just have to make time to see the Haleakala National Park located on Maui. One of the things that this park has is the active volcano called Haleakala Crater. You are able to walk up to the very top of it and examine the wonder of it. Other things you will see are streams, waterfalls, and other wonders of nature. The sunsets and sunrises in this park are not to be missed.

On the Big Island you will discover the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This park happens to have another one of the active volcanoes, the Kilauea Volcano is worth making the time to see. You will also be able to explore some 333,000 acres. This includes such sights as a rain forest, lava tube, trails in and through the volcanoes, and an interesting museum to tour.

For the history buff side of you, travel and see the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark located on Oahu. This is an important place to put on your list for sure. The USS Arizona is on display here for all to see. On December 7, 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and attacked the USA. You can also go view the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and park along with the Battleship Missouri Memorial when you are on the island.

Now for the fourth and last one of this list there is the Waimea Canyon State Park on Kauai and this canyon is completely breathtaking and so worth seeing. You are able to drove around the canyon and stop at different viewing points and see its splendor. If you like to hike there are several trails you can walk, but beware some are for the experienced hikers. There are several for the beginner as well though.

Carpet Cleaning in Monmouth County NJ

 or 1–800–253–2669

 All Natural Carpet Cleaning NJ

It seems that everybody is talking about “going green” these days — green energy, green household products, and green office supplies. To my company, green isn’t something new. I’ve been using all natural cleaning products for 22 years because it’s the best method of carpet cleaning for homes with pets and children. The chemicals I use in my clients’ homes are the same ones I use in my own.

If you have kids and pets, then you know that accidents will happen. That’s why we don’t just do carpet cleaning. We also do mattress cleaning, upholstery cleaning, and area rug cleaning. Our organic cleaning methods not only eliminate daily household grime and stains. They remove dust mites, one of the most common sources of allergens in the home.

It’s not only our organic products that do the work. We use only soft water during the cleaning process. Why would we want to tell you about that? Because it’s been proven that soft water prolongs the life of fibers by up to 15 percent. That’s something to think about when you have someone cleaning that beautiful and expensive Persian rug in your living room.

Soft water doesn’t have the mineral content of hard water, either. Because the soft water we use doesn’t have calcium and magnesium in it, it actually gets your carpets and upholstery cleaner. We also use the hottest water possible, which eliminates more bacteria and leaves your carpets nice and fluffy clean. Because we use all natural products and soft water, your carpets and upholstery get cleaner than they would by using the usual methods. That gives you peace of mind when you have babies crawling on your floors, doesn’t it?

The methods we use also remove more water from your carpeting than do others. This means you can walk on your carpeting sooner. There’s an added advantage to this, too. Less drying time means there’s less chance for mold spores to flourish. If anyone in your household has a problem with mold, this is a big consideration for their comfort and well-being.

The quality of indoor air is so important. Eliminating dust, dust mites, molds, and bacteria without adding toxic cleaning chemicals is just the right thing to do. We care about our customers and that’s why these things are important to us, too.

Our company doesn’t just say we rely on healthy and environmentally safe cleaning products and methods. We also stand behind our work with a 100% money-back guarantee. Not many home-furnishings cleaning companies will do that. We do it because we’re sold on the quality of our own work. Remember, I mentioned I use these same products and methods in my own home, and I wouldn’t use them around my own family if I didn’t believe in their quality and safety.

While we think our all natural cleaning methods and results stand on their own, we offer some other benefits the other companies don’t. We move your furniture for you, placing it on furniture risers until the carpet underneath is dry. It may not be exactly where you had it, but even you might have a problem finding where it used to sit. That crushed-down pile and five-year-old coffee stain aren’t there anymore, so you can’t use them as landmarks.

Just like everyone is talking about being green, everyone is always busy these days. For your convenience, we give you a particular time that we’re going to show up so you don’t waste half the day waiting for us. We’ll be at your door within five minutes of the appointment. If we’re running late, we’ll call and let you know.

If healthy indoor air, organic cleaning, all natural products, a job well done, and courtesy appeal to you, then you really should give me a call to book a free carpet audit.
