1 pound
ground beef
1/2 cup
chopped onion
1 (8 ounce) can
tomato sauce
1/3 cup
2 tablespoons
brown sugar
1 tablespoon
apple cider vinegar
I basically followed the recipe and it was pretty good, just a tad too sweet. I also threw in a clove of garlic with the onion, some red pepper flakes, and a splash of worsheshire sauce
Quick and easy...little short on the flavor side. Added a little Worchestershire sauce.

My wife is always ribbing my about my cooking, not after this dish. She is very finicky about her food but she wanted seconds and was disappointed that the kids had finished it off. I highly recommend it. I made it just as the recipe shows and topped with some shredded cheddar cheese and microwaved for 30 sec.
My only addition to this recipe was Durkee french fried onion rings as a topper! My kids don't like onion bits in their food so we us this in it's place for all sloppy joe recipes.
I came across this when I was looking for a quick & easy recipe since I was out of the canned stuff. Oh my, it is absolutely delicious, easy to make and my family loved it. I will never buy the canned stuff again. Thank you for sharing :)
A perfect simple recipe!I made it exactly as described and added green peppers. I will stick to this combination from now on. You can take the base which is fantastic and add any fix ins you need. Also if you don't add peppers, try a splash of bbq sauce for a kick.
This was very good and very easy. I did add mustard for our taste, which everyone liked.
after trying this there ain't no way i'll ever use manwich or packaged stuff again

Speech recognition in mobile processor-based devices may be improved by using location information. Location information may be derived from on-board hardware or from information provided remotely. The location information may assist in a variety of ways in improving speech recognition. For example, the ability to adapt to the local ambient conditions, including reverberation and noise characteristics, may be enhanced by location information. In some embodiments, pre-developed models or context information may be provided from a remote server for given locations.

This invention relates generally to mobile processor-based systems that include speech recognition capabilities.
Mobile processor-based systems include devices such as handheld devices, personal digital assistants, digital cameras, laptop computers, data input devices, data collection devices, remote control units, voice recorders, and cellular telephones, to mention a few examples. Many of these devices may include speech recognition capabilities.
With speech recognition, the user may say words that may be converted to text. As another example, the spoken words may be received as commands that enable selection and operation of the processor-based system's capabilities.
In a number of cases, the ability of a given device to recognize speech or identify a speaker is relatively limited. A variety of ambient conditions may adversely affect the quality of the speech recognition or speaker identification. Because the ambient conditions may change unpredictably, the elimination of ambient effects is much more difficult with mobile speech recognition platforms.
Thus, there is a need for better ways to enable speech recognition with mobile processor-based systems.
Referring to
By incorporating a position detection capability within the device 14, the ability to recognize spoken words may be improved in the variety of environments or ambient conditions. Thus, the device 14 may include a position detection or location-based services (LBS) client 26. Position detection may be accomplished using a variety of technologies such as global positioning satellites, hot-spot detection, cell detection, radio triangulation, or other techniques.
A variety of aspects of location may be used to improve speech recognition. The physical location of the system 14 may provide information about acoustic characteristics of the surrounding space. Those characteristics may include the size of the room, noise sources, such as ventilation ducts or exterior windows, and reverberation characteristics.
This data can be stored in a network infrastructure, such as a location-based services (LBS) server 12. For frequently visited locations, the characteristics may be stored in the system 14 data store 28 itself. The server 12 may be coupled to the system 14 through a wireless network 18 in one embodiment of the present invention.
Other aspects of location that may be leveraged to improve speech recognition include the physical location of nearby speakers who are using comparable systems 14. These speakers may be potential sources of interference and can be identified based on their proximity to the user of the system 14. In addition, the identity of nearby people who are carrying comparable systems 14 may be inferred by subscribing to their presence information or by ad hoc discovery peers. Also, the orientation of the system 14 may be determined and this may provide useful information for improving speech recognition.
The system 14 includes a speech context manager 24 that is coupled to the position detection/location-based services client 26, a speech recognizer 22, and a noise mitigating speech preprocessor 20.
When speech recognition is attempted by the system 14, the speech context manager 24 retrieves a current context from the server 12 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Based on the size of the surrounding space, the context manager 24 adjusts the acoustic models of the recognizer 22 to account for reverberation.
This adjustment may be done in a variety of ways including using model adaptation, such as maximum likelihood linear regression to a known target. The target transformation may have been estimated in a previous encounter at that position or may be inferred from the reverberation time associated with the space. The adjustment may also be done by selecting from a set of previously trained acoustic models that match various acoustic spaces typically encountered by the user.
As another alternative, the context manager 24 may select from among feature extraction and noise reduction algorithms that are resistant to reverberation based on the size of the acoustic space. The acoustic models may also be modified to match the selected front-end noise reduction and feature extraction. Models may also be adapted based on the identity of nearby people, retrieving and loading speaker dependent acoustic models for each person, if available. Those models may be used for automatic transcription of hallway discussion in one embodiment of the present invention.
Another way that the adjustment may be done is by initializing and adapting a new acoustic model if the acoustic space has not been encountered previously. Once the location is adequately modeled, the system 14 may send the information to the server 12 to be stored in the remote data store 16 for future visitors to the same location.
As another example of adaptation, based on the identity of nearby speakers, the system 14 may assist the user to identify them as a transcription source. A transcription source is someone whose speech should be transcribed. A list of potential sources in the vicinity of the user may be presented to the user. The user may select the desired transcription sources from the list in one embodiment.
As still another example, based on the orientation of the system 10, the location of proximate people, and their designation as transcription sources, a microphone array controlled by preprocessor 20 may be configured to place nulls in the direction of the closest persons who are not transcription sources. Since that direction may not be highly accurate and is subject to abrupt change, this method may not supplant interferer tracking via a microphone array. However, it may provide a mechanism to place the nulls when the interferer is not speaking, thereby significantly improving performance when an interferer talker starts to speak.
Referring to
Then feature extraction and noise reduction algorithms may be selected based on the understanding of the local environment, as indicated in block 36. In addition, the speaker-dependent acoustic models for nearby speakers may be retrieved and loaded, as indicated in block 38. These models may be retrieved, in one embodiment, from the server 12.
New acoustic models may be developed based on the position of the system 14 as detected by the position detection/LBS client 26, as indicated in block 40. The new model, linked to position coordinates, may be sent over the wireless network 18 to the server 12, as indicated in block 42, for potential future use. In some embodiments, models may be available from the server 12 and, in other situations, those models may be developed by a system 14 either on its own or in cooperation with the server 12 for immediate dynamic use.
As indicated in block 44, any speakers whose speech should be recognized may be identified. The microphone array preprocessor 20 may be configured, as indicated in block 46. Then speech recognition may be implemented, as indicated in block 48, having obtained the benefit of the location information.
Referring to
While the present invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations therefrom. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of this present invention.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Gentle and fragrance free. Did not irritate my skin. Left hair soft and manageable. Easy to get a brush through wet hair.
I've tried all but one of the shampoo-conditioner sets in this product line, and am impressed by all of them. They are the only ones I've found that have no version of sulfates, and really manage my ultra-fine hair well. For my hair, the Italian Grape is best, but I use the Fragrance Free in summer so that insects don't mistake me for fruit salad.

Comments about Frye Melissa Button Wide Calf Boots:
I have an average size calf in my opinion. However, most boots are just a tad too tight especially after I stuff my leggings and jeans inside. I went on a search for a boot with an extended calf for this reason. I tried on several other wide calf boots from other brands and they weren't quite right. I'm 5ft tall with pretty average calf size and the extended calf fit me perfectly and they are just the right height for my short legs. I can't wait to get them in another color. They are expensive but so comfortable and totally worth every penny. If you're looking for a boot that will go with anything, be comfortable, and last forever, these boots are for you!

Comments about Frye Melissa Button Wide Calf Boots:
Pretty pricey, but lovely boot. But I have no clue how or why they call this wide calf. It barely went over half my calf. I'll be returning ASAP.

Toronto: Vintage - new radio shack antenna rotators.
I have two brand new radio shack antenna rotators that I got off Ebay.
I was going to use them for an antenna setup this summer but decided to just combine antennas aimed in different directions.
One is in it's original box the other in a plain box. they both are brand new, never used with all hardware. These units are very high quality & are labled "made in West Germany". These rotators use 5 wires to connect the drive unit to the controler. You can use 5 conductor thermostat wire if you can't find 5 conductor rotator wire. I can't upload pics for some reason but if you email me I can send you pics. The radio shack catalog number is 15-1220. These rotators look like the Alliance U100 and you can slide the antenna mast directly through the rotator body.
I'm asking $100.00 Canadian for each unit. I would prefer not to ship these as the shipping costs are pretty crazy, so hopefully the sale would be local.
Thanks for looking.
Toronto. Ontario.

Amsterdam Canal Bus Hop-On Hop-Off
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Amsterdam Canal Bus Hop-On Hop-Off. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
What a great experience! It was so much fun to see the city from the canals. We got around everywhere and saw beautiful sights. We should have done it for 2 days. This is a fantastic way to get around and to see the city.
Perfect way to see the sites in Amsterdam. The canal buses stop at every major site
Cordell Avery
Greenville, NC
Easy to find and ride. Didn't have to wait. Pre-recorded sightseeing announcements were enough to get a good flavor of Amsterdam. It stops at all the major sights, but you can also simply cruise for hours.
Great way to get around Amsterdam and self tour. Convenient and well worth the price.
Would use it again when in Amsterdam
This was an excellent tour. The meeting points were very well marked and ponts of interest along the way very interesting.
Wonderful way to experience Amsterdam! Love that it runs year round.
This was the perfect way to get to various destinations, we did the three "lines" and hopped on and off when we fancied it .... would recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam to buy this.
It was the best way to visit the city. The waiting lines are not so long and you can enjoy your travel along the canals. Any time you like something, you can go down from the boat and enjoy the attraction. Recommended.
Nice idea!! We enjoy so much and learn a lot about Amsterdam main buildings. We combine with Van Gogh Museum and it was a good decision. Amsterdam is a so beautiful city and visiting with the hop on-hop off boat was really cool. Beautiful
Absolutely fine, no problems saw everything we wanted
This is a special way to visit Amsterdam. You get to know the city from its canals. You also get to all the places you wanted to visit. A pure delight at a reasonable cost.
The hop on hop off boat ride was a great way to see the sights in Amsterdam. We always do these in major cities to sightsee. The only suggestion would be to use ear phones for the commentary as the audio could not be heard due to other noises. I suggest all travelers use these for seeing the city.
Bunny Arnett
It gave us a great review of the city, we would recommend it highy. Very nice to stop off and than at your leisure get back on the boat to see more. Very nice , and the boat people were great.
good value and a great way to get around.
What a great way to get around the beautiful, clean city.
Allowed total access to all Amsterdam highlights.
We had a great time there. The hop on bus was convenient to where we wanted to go. It's a great experience.
wonderful tour
The canal Bus Hop-On Hop-Off tour was fantastic and very comfortable riding on a boat and seeing Amsterdam with one canal line after another. We liked it so much. We couldn't have seen so much in a day on other than on a boat
wonderful way to see Amsterdam
Great tour
This was a great trip by canal, we hopped on and off frequently during the day
very nice way to get around
Excellent way of seeing Amsterdam

Steffi the only player (male or female) to have defended all the majors
Not only she is the only one, but she's defended all of them twice!
Australian Open : 89, 90
Roland Garros, 88, 96
Wimbledon : 89, 92
US Open : 89, 96
Court has never defended a Wimbledon title.
Emerson has never defended an Australian Open or a Wimbledon title.
Laver has never defended an Australian Open, a French Open or a US Open title.
Navratilova has never defended an Australian Open or a French Open title.
Evert has never defended an Australian Open or a Wimbledon title.
There you have it, undeniable evidence Steffi was a fairly decent tennis player!
I think in almost 5 years here, it is my very first thread about Steffi. I just though this was an awesome accomplishment.
I think Lenglen, Wills Moody, Connolly and Laver would have done it no doubt. They were so dominant. But for different reasons, they were not able to. (And I know that two of them doesn't even have the career slam...)
She had a bit of potential there. lol.
Stats like that are why lately I have been leaning towards co-ranking Steffi and Navratilova as #1 on my GOAT list. Both have things that are just insanely scary stats wise.
Steffi could have become the greatest tennis player ever but a number of flaws prevent her ranking over the likes of Navratilova, Court, or Evert:
-Her major slump from 1990-1994, right in the middle of what should have been her prime. Resulting in only 1 slam win in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1994, even with only Seles in 91 and 92 only as real competition. 1993 she won 3 slams but only due to horrendous chokes by Fernandez in the French Open final and Novotna in the Wimbledon final, so it might as well have been only 1 that year too. She wasnt really in form even in 1993, losing multiple times to Sanchez early in the year, being spanked by Seles in the Australian Open final, getting spanked by Conchita Martinez on fast carpet late that year, losing a set to a Maleeva sister in the U.S Open semis, and even losing to Nicole Provis-Bradkte late that year. 1988, 1989, 1995, and 1996 were her only great years of tennis.
-Her failure to gain the record at any of the 4 slam venues, or the overall slam record. That she failed to do this despite the advantage of the Seles stabbing is even more telling a mark against her.
-Worst of all her 4-1 record vs Navratilova at the U.S Open. Navratilova was out of her prime for 3 or 4 of those 5 matches, and Steffi in hers for 3 or 4 of the 5, making it an even more glaring flaw. This is also their most neutral meeting ground, carpet and grass favoring Martina, rebound ace and clay favoring Steffi.
-Other than Seles in 91 and 92 facing no all time great in their primes when winning her slams from 1987 to 1999.
Also it was incredibly impressive that Steffi was able to defend each of the 4 slams at her first attempt.
Graf : 5 USO titles
What would you rather have? The H2H or one more title? And I am well aware that Martina lost a couple of very close finals & Austin and Mandlikova but she did lost them so who cares. Graf lost a close one too in '94.
That is pretty impressive.
Evert arguably came close to also defending all 4 but was stopped by Martina at the Austrailian in 1985 (after winning it in '82 and '84, she skipped in '83) and by Martina again at Wimbledon in 1982 I think? Its funny how Evert made like 34 slam finals(more than Martina, Court, and Steffi I think) and yet she never won consecutively at all 4.
look at the facts and figures. all these arguments about strong/weak competition or past her prime/not yet in her prime are personal opinions
I don´t think we can have toughest foursomes for ladies play ( Open era) than:
early 70´s:King,Court,Goolagong and Evert - with Wade and Richey following-
early 80´s: Navratilova,Evert,Mandlikova and Austin - jaeger and Shriver right behind-
early 90´s:Seles,Graf,Sabatini and Sanchez(clay)/Navi(fast)
late 90´s: Seles,Graf,Hingis,Davenport - Williams and Kournikova next-
She is the only person in recent history (perhaps the open era too) to do the golden calendar slam. That is something we won't see this year, and haven't seen since 1988!

Thunder Uniforms To Honor Tornado Victims
By AP
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma City Thunder will wear special uniforms during summer league competitions to honor those affected by the violent tornadoes that hit the state in May. The Thunder revealed the jersey on Friday. The team will debut the special uniforms at the Orlando Pro Summer League on Tuesday, when the Thunder faces off against the Detroit Pistons. The team will wear the commemorative jerseys for all home contests during summer league competition. The uniform was designed to represent the strength and resiliency of Oklahomans. The jersey features an outline of the state of Oklahoma with a Thunder logo in the center. Dozens of people were killed in tornadoes and storms that struck between May


text: I just realised - we never got an update as to if the beautiful carpet (In the Grand Hall) that was damaged in the Christmas fire has been replaced at the Grand Californian. (I know, I forgot about my favorite Disney hotel!) Does anybody have any news or photos of the new carpet? (Maybe Darkbeer? He did some great coverage of the recovery effors from the fire back in December) I'm also guessing all the other renovations at the hotel have finished, right?

IMTS 92 ... in search of manufacturing solutions.
Answers to pressing manufacturing process questions will be found in the latest metalcutting and metalforming technologies and auxiliary equipment and controls. They run the gamut from lasers to mechanical manipulators, computer controls to tough new cutting materials and coatings, and multi-faceted machining centers to new joining techniques and assembly machines.
According to Charles F Carter, VP-Technology, Association For Manufacturing Technology, trends include a broadening of the use of EDM, as well as lasers for both cutting and welding; increasing spindle speeds; and wider use of ceramic bearings on machines.
Controls continue to play an important role in machine development simply "because a major factor in upgrading a machine is upgrading the control," says Mr Carter. Look for a greater ability for users to write proprietary features and a move to MS-DOS front ends and a standardization of control I/Os.
The trend toward more product pavilions (similar to those at European expositions) which IMTS 92 has adopted will continue, with exhibitors of a particular type of product or equipment located together instead of spread throughout the show floor.
In this way, Mr Carter explains, exhibitors are exposed to a higher caliber of attendee--"one who is more likely to be a buying influence, since that person had a specific intention to visit that particular pavilion." Since its beginning more than six decades ago, the International Manufacturing Technology Show and conference has been heralded as "a neutral forum" where engineers, product users, distributors, and producers may freely discuss questions of mutual interest and seek solutions to manufacturing problems. That is still true today--approximately 110,000 visitors and more than 1100 exhibitors are expected to gather ill Chicago, September 9 to 17, for the 20th such show--IMTS 92.
The show is held every two years and transforms Chicago's McCormick Place facility into an international marketplace with more than $315 million worth of exhibits featuring state-of-the-art manufacturing technology.
IMT's 92 is sponsored by The Association for Manufacturing Technology and is described by the association's president, Albert W Moore, as a super-showroom of products and services where potential buyers can investigate, analyze, and compare a worldwide collection of the newest technology. It is invaluable in the constant quest for lower manufacturing costs and improved productivity and quality. For nine straight days, everything necessary to create the "factory of the future" can be seen in one place.
New pavilions
Three new pavilions are planned for IMTS 92 including an EDM/ECM Pavilion, an Environmental and Plant Engineering Focus area, and a Tooling Focus area. The Forming & Fabricating Pavilion, introduced for the first time during IMTS 90, will again be featured at the '92 show. It will be the largest display of forming and fabricating machines, laser systems, and related products in America. Some 40,000 IMTS visitors will have a specific interest in these products.
The pavilions and focus areas allow visitors to see related equipment in one place, thus saving time and energy. Focus groups conducted during IMTS 90 by the market research firm of Jacobs, Jenner & Kent confirmed that show visitors favored the concept of pavilions. Most of the attendees interviewed had visited the Forming & Fabricating Pavilion and all of them requested that additional pavilions covering every general product category be installed at future shows. The visitors reported that the existence of the pavilion ensured that they did not miss any product offerings in this primary interest area, and it gave them more time to cover the rest of the IMTS exhibits. The visitors also felt that the pavilions sharpened the exhibitors' presentations because the sense of competition was heightened.
The EDM Pavilion will feature CNC wire EDMs, ram-type die sinker EDMs, CNC wire EDM die sinkers, and manual die sinkers. Thirty-five exhibitors will occupy 38,000 sq ft of space at the pavilion on Level 1 of McCormick Place North.
At the Forming & Fabricating Pavilion on Level 2 of the North Building, show attendees will see demonstrations of high-speed presses; NC turret punch presses; bending, drawing, and spinning machines; cold-formers; water-jet cutting; power presses; press brakes and shears; press tooling; wire drawing equipment; and press feeds from 115 exhibitors. The 130,000-sq-ft pavilion will also showcase a complete range of lasers and laser systems.
The Environmental, Safety, and Plant Engineering Focus Area, on the second level of McCormick Place West, will feature equipment and products in the fields of safety, coolant purification, filtration and reclamation, coolants (water and oil), air quality controls, and allied interests. There is also a full range of plant maintenance and service products. More than 40 exhibitors are expected to participate.
More than 50 exhibitors are expected to display products in the Tooling Focus Area, which features cutting tools and toolholders, chucks and other workholding devices, jigs and fixture tooling, indexing heads and tools, slides, and a variety of other tools and tooling products. The Tooling Focus Area has 28,000 sq ft of exhibit space and will be housed on the second level of McCormick Place West. Carpets will be color-coded to help visitors distinguish between the four pavilions and focus areas.
Technical sessions
IMTS 92 will also be complemented by Manufacturing '92--the Machining, Tooling, and Fabricating Conference, which is co-sponsored, organized, and managed by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME). The conference will be held Sept 9 to 11, and from Sept 14 to 16. Sessions run from 8 am to 2 pm, and lunch is included. Registration will be held on the lower level of McCormick Place North starting at 7 am.
The conference features presentations by more than 250 experts speaking on the future development and application of manufacturing technology. The speakers will address six specialized technology tracks including:
* Machining, including EDM, abrasives, non-traditional machining, and tooling;
* Forming and fabricating, covering stamping, die-setting, and sheet-metal fabrication;
* Automation dealing with flexible manufacturing and CIM systems;
* 9 Robots and vision, including aspects of robot applications and machine vision topics;
* Environmental/Waste Management, including techniques and technologies to meet new regulations;
* Quality, covering ISO 9000 standards, benchmarking against world-class companies, and ergonomics in manufacturing.
The new format was designed to allow visitors the opportunity to concentrate on their specific areas of interest. Some of the technical sessions were designed along lines similar to the pavilions and focus areas, so that visitors may get information on the latest technology before they visit the exhibits.
New registration system
A new registration system will be used during IMTS 92. The "Expocard" system, developed by Galaxy Registration Inc, Frederick, MD, is said to be quicker and more efficient than the old registration and lead follow-up process, which featured credit card imprinters.
The Expocard looks like a credit card, but is embedded with a small electronic chip. Visitors slide the card into a small electronic reader at each exhibit or information service when they want literature or more information. The reader is a 12" x 12" x 4" aluminum box with two slots and an on/off switch. The Expocard goes in one slot, and a printed slip of paper with the name and address comes out the other slot, recording the request instantly. The old-style credit card imprinters will no longer be used.
Pre-registrants for IMIS 92 will automatically receive a show admission badge and an Expocard in the mail. On-site registrants will fill out the registration form and will then receive an encoded Expocard and badge. Thus on-site registrants won't have to wait while the slow-moving embossing machine creates a plastic card.
At each exhibitor booth, the card reader will read the data from the attendee's card and immediately print a copy of the data so specific inquiries can be written down. The Expocard reader also stores the data for later transfer into the exhibitor's database, providing a backup if the paper inquiry is lost or damaged. It also eliminates the risk of unclear impressions sometimes left by the credit card imprinters.
The new Expocards are recyclable, whereas the old inquiry cards generated tons of plastic waste. Recycling bins will be placed at McCormick Place exits and visitors are encouraged to drop their cards in when they conclude their visit to IMTS.

How to get the most from IMTS
Visiting a show the size of IMTS 92 can be physically demanding, but there are several things you can do to get the most from IMTS.
* Think about what booths and exhibits you want to see before you go to the show. Make a list of companies that you must see, and then list those you would like to see.
* Take advantage of product locators in place throughout the show. The Electronic Product Directory provides an easy way for attendees to locate specific products. Directory computers are situated in convenient, visible locations throughout McCormick Place. Just insert your Expocard, select products of interest, and a list of the booths showing those products is displayed and printed.
* Be sure to pick up a copy of the Directory of Exhibits when you register or enter the exhibition halls. The directory lists the location and booth number of every IMTS exhibitor. It also contains a listing of exhibitors by product type, making it easier to find the products and equipment of particular interest to you.
* When entering the show, head away from the crowds so that you may use your time more effectively. Often, when the show opens, the booths at the front of
the halls are crowded, while those in the rear of the halls are almost empty. Also, don't forget that the West Building opens an hour earlier (9 am) than the rest of the show.
* Wear comfortable shoes. IMTS 92 covers nearly a million square feet of space and features over seven miles of aisle ways, so your feet are sure to take a beating if you don't plan accordingly.

Jack Tempchin "Peaceful Easy Feeling 40th Anniversary Tour"
When: 7 p.m. Thursday
Where: New Village Arts Theatre, 2787 State St., Carlsbad
Tickets: $20
Phone: (760) 433-3245
Online: newvillagearts.org
While his classic songs have endured for decades, many of the San Diego music landmarks from Jack Tempchin's early career have vanished.
The Heritage, the Mission Beach hootenanny club where he befriended fellow troubadour Tom Waits in the late 1960s? Long gone. Ditto the Backdoor, the intimate San Diego State University venue Tempchin managed — and the place where he and Waits performed "Tijuana" moments after co-writing it backstage. Also long gone is the Candy Company, an earthy venue near SDSU where, in 1967, Tempchin became buddies with then-Longbranch Pennywhistle member Glenn Frey, who later co-founded The Eagles.
But one site still exists here that played a key supporting role in Tempchin's artistic evolution, even if few regard the Wienerschnitzel fast-food spot in Hillcrest as a cultural landmark of any kind.
Nevertheless, that is where Tempchin completed writing his song "Peaceful Easy Feeling," which in 1973 became one of the most enduring hits in The Eagles' repertoire. Dec. 1 marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the song that would help change his life.
"I carried my guitar with me at all times and was writing all over town," Tempchin, 65, recalled. "I was at the Wienerschnitzel on Washington Street, waiting for a polish (hot) dog, when I wrote the last verse. For me, the last verse of a song is the clincher that ties up everything that came before and gives a one-two punch to the chorus. I wrote that verse sitting at the concrete table at the Wienerschnitzel."
He chuckled.
"The Wienerschnitzel is still there and it still looks the same. Who would have thought that, of all the things that come and go in life, the Wienerschnitzel would still be here, 40 years later?"
Tempchin will perform a "Peaceful Easy Feeling 40th Anniversary Show" Thursday at New Village Arts Theatre in Carlsbad. The Wienerschnitzel, at least as of this writing, has not offered to provide backstage catering, although South Coast Winery in Temecula plans to debut its Peaceful Easy Feeling cabernet sauvignon next month.
"Jack is a guy who doesn't get enough credit. What a great songwriter he is!" said Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, who lived near Tempchin in Encinitas between 1995 and 2001.
Tempchin's road to songwriting prominence began in 1969, when the duo Hedge & Donna recorded two of his early songs, "Strawberry Malt" and "Women & Religion." But it was "Peaceful Easy Feeling" that put him on the map, along with another Eagles gem, "Already Gone" (which he co-wrote with Robb Strandlund.)
Both songs appear on "The Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975," which to date has sold more than 29 million copies in the U.S. alone (tying Michael Jackson's "Thriller" as the best-selling album ever in this country). Not coincidentally, Tempchin was recently interviewed at length for an upcoming film that will commemorate The Eagles' own 40th anniversary.
After The Eagles dissolved in 1980 for 14 years, Tempchin and Frey co-wrote a slew of hit songs for Frey's solo albums. They include "The One You Love," "I Found Somebody," "Sexy Girl," "Smuggler's Blues" and "You Belong to the City." ("Blues" and "City" were later sampled on records by hip-hop stars Coolio and Jay-Z, respectively.)

Troubleshooting was the most complicated. Once I had assured myself that the defrost timer and thermostat were operating correctly, I defrosted the fridge and removed the heater to find that one of the two heaters had failed. I manually defrosted the fridge until the parts arrived and replacement was easy because the wires, brackets and connector were identical to the original. the multimeter wasn't really necessary. Most of the time required was for defrosting.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Merck Group's net profit swung to €316m ($427m) in the third quarter from a net loss of €63.2m in the same period in 2012, boosted partly by efficiency measures, the German drug maker said on Thursday.
Overall revenue in the third quarter fell by 3.1% year on year to €2.75bn in the third quarter, because of " negative foreign exchange effects", Merck said in a statement.
Pre-exceptionals earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) were up by 10.1% at €830.7m.
The company said despite facing "massive headwinds from foreign exchange effects", it had generated record earnings, because of "the accelerated implementation of efficiency measures".
For the first nine months of this year, Merck's net profit surged to €582m from €109.5m in the same period in 2012, with sales down by 0.2% at €8.35bn.
Merck said it expects the remainder of the year to continue the trend from the previous three quarters.
Merck also expects its full-year EBITDA for 2013, after adjusting for one-offs, to grow to €3.2bn-3.25bn from its previous estimate of €3.1bn-3.2bn.
