PERMANENT MAGNET ROTOR A v Filed Feb. 14, 1967 FIG. I 20 T United States Patent 3,492,520 PERMANENT MAGNET ROTOR William W. Yates, Lima, Ohio, assignor to Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed Feb. 14, 1967, Ser. No. 616,062 Int. Cl. H02k 1/22 U.S. Cl. 310261 5 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A permanent magnet rotor for dynamoelectric machines employing at least one ferrite permanent magnet in the form of an elongated slab or plate disposed near the radial center of a hollow rotor core and extending axially beyond the ends of the rotor core. In the example shown, two ferrite magnetic places are disposed in planes substantially parallel to each other on opposite sides of the axial center of the rotor. Axially extending soft iron pole pieces are disposed adjacent the inner and outer sides of the magnets for multiplying the magnetic flux by returning the magnetic flux from the axial extensions of the magnets to the center core, The soft iron pole pieces and the rotor core are further gapped or slotted along the direct and quadrature axes to avoid shorting the magnetic flux generated by the ferrite slabs to maintain reluctance torque.
The present invention relates generally to permanent magnet rotors for rotating machines, and particularly to a rotor employing ferrite permanent magnets as the flux producing means.
Generators and synchronous motors often use permanent magnets to provide field excitation. Permanent m-agnets provide a more efiicient operation since field windings for conducting exciting current are not required. One type of rotor structure commonly employed includes a hollow steel body or core supporting squirrel cage windings or damper bars on the outside thereof, and permanent magnets disposed in the hollow portion thereof. Because of the limited area available within the hollow portion for the magnets, high flux magnetic materials having a low coercive force, such as Alnico alloy, are usually employed in order to obtain appreciable useful flux from the magnets. The high flux magnets have, however, two important disadvantages, namely, high cost and low resistance to demagnetizing forces encountered in the machine.
The demagnetizing forces are many and varied; for example, at the asynchronous start of a synchronous motor, the permanent magnet is subjected to strong demagnitization from the main field of the stator. In generators with conventional permanent magnet poles, a short circuit or similar fault can cause high demagnetizing current in the stator with the resultant partial loss of magnetism and voltage. Also demagnetization may be a problem when the rotor is removed from the stator. In any case, the machine is out of service until the poles can be remagnetized.
In accordance with the broad principles of the present invention, the high cost and demagnetization problems associated with Alnico magnetic materials are avoided by using slabs or bars of ferrite permanent magnetic material, for example, strontium ferrite (SrFe O lead ferrite (PbFe O or barium ferrite (BaFe O instead of the Alnico magnets, Ferrite magnet slabs are low in cost, have high coercive force, and have a magnetization characteristic that is highly resistant to the demagnitizing forces encountered in rotating machines.
The ferrite slabs are disposed in a hollow steel core or "ice laminated stack and extend beyond the axial extremities of the stack. The ferrite slabs are further symmetrically disposed, one slab for every two machine poles, around the center axis of the rotor with soft iron pole pieces disposed adjacent the inner and outer faces or sides of the slabs in a pole filux directing manner. Quadrature and direct axis gaps are provided in the pole pieces, and the rotor steel is slotted adjacent the gaps to prevent shortmg the magnetic fiux and to maintain reluctance torque.
Accordingly, the primary object of the invention is to provide an economical and magnetically stable permanent magnet rotor for dynamoelectric machines.
Another object of the invention is to provide a demagnetization resistant permanent magnet rotor for rotatmg machines in which ferrite permanent magnet slabs are disposed near the radial center of a rotor core or stack with axial portions extending beyond the length of the rotor stack.
A further object of the invention is to provide a permanent magnet rotor in which the magnetic flux produced by the axial extensions of permanent magnets supported within a center core or stack is effectively directed to and utilized therein.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a permanent magnet rotor in which a permanent magnet slab is used to supply two poles and their associated air gaps with magnetic flux.
Another object of the invention is to provide a more eflicient dynamoelectric machine having a permanent magnet rotor provided with axially extending permanent magnets which utilize end space within the stator of the machine that is ordinarily wasted.
A further object of the invention is to provide a permanent magnet rotor with a large intermal cavity providing ample area for accommodating permanent magnets while simultaneously providing ample rotor steel thickness so that excessive magnetic saturation of the rotor steel is avoided during operation.
These and other objects and advantages of the inventron will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevation view, with a portion thereof in section, of a four pole permanent magnet rotor constructed in accordance with the principles of the invention; and
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the rotor taken along line IIII in FIG. 1.
Specifically, there is shown in FIG. 1, a permanent magnet rotor 10 comprising a centrally disposed, nonmagnetic shaft 11 supporting inner soft iron pole pieces 12 and 13, outer soft iron pole pieces 14 and 15 and two slabs of ferrite permanent magnets 16 and 17 disposed respectively between the inner and outer pole pieces. The pole pieces and permanent magnets are disposed in a balanced manner within a steel core or laminated steel stack 20 adapted to support a plurality of axially extending conductor bars 21, shown in cross-section in FIG. 2. The conductor bars 21 may form a squirrel cage on the rotor 10, or the conductors 21 may serve as damper bars for generator operation. If a commutator is supplied, the rotor may be employed as the rotating field of a direct current motor with a stationary armature. In FIG. 1, a stator 25 of standard construction, only partially shown and having end turns (not shown), is disposed around the rotor 10 in a conventional manner. The conductor bars 21 are further secured in the stack 29 by end rings 22.
In FIG. 2, the rotor core 20 is shown divided into four salient poles 23 by the absence of rotor steel in interpolar spaces 24. This serves to increase the effective use of the magnetic flux, since a higher fundamental compoment is obtained by concentrating the flux into the salient poles. The use of salient poles, however, is not a necessary feature of the invention, and the four salient poles 23 depicted in FIG. 2 are shown only for the purpose of illustration.
As clearly shown in FIG. 2, the ferrite permanent magnet slabs 16 and 17 are disposed near the center of the cavity or hollow portion provided in the rotor steel so that they may have a maximum width dimension therein. A large percentage of the maximum available area within the cavity of the rotor is thus effectively utilized by the magnets. This is illustrated by the flux path lines (dashed arrows) 26 which show the two magnets 16 and 17 providing magnetic flux for the four poles 23. It should be noted further that the ferrite permanent magnets are employed herein in their most economical form, namely, a slab or plate configuration having generally a uniform and relatively small thickness dimension.
The configuration and location of the ferrite magnets 16 and 17 provide further for a more effective utilization of their flux producing areas. The small thickness dimension of the magnets allows for the disposition of the axially extending pole pieces 12 through of adequate size and shape to direct the flux generated in the axial extensions of the ferrite magnets to the centrally disposed rotor stack 20. This effectively multiplies the area of the ferrite magnets and makes possible the utilization of space under the end extensions of the stator winding (not shown) which is ordinarily wasted space. The ends of the axial extensions of the outer pole pieces 14 and 15 may be rounded off so that their rectangular configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, would be somewhat modified in an ovoid manner.
The pole pieces 12 through 15 serve further to fill the space within the cavity of the rotor stack (with the exception of reluctance gaps) so that the magnets 16 and 17 are secured therein in a rugged, compact manner.
In order not to lose the reluctance torque obtained from the use of salient poles 23, the inner pole pieces 12 and 13 are separated to form quadrature axis gaps or slots 28 and 29, and the outer pole pieces 14 and 15 are provided with quadrature axis gaps 30 and 31, respectively. The gaps 30 and 31 form narrow bridges of iron 50 and 51, respectively. The quadrature axis gaps compensate for the decrease in direct axis reactance due to the inclusion of direct axis gaps 32 through 35 provided between the inner and outer pole pieces at the lateral edges of the ferrite magnets 16 and 17. The rotor steel 20, adjacent each of the quadrature and direct axis gaps in the pole pieces, is partially removed or cut away to form slots 28a through 35a in the steel. The slots in the steel thus extend the area of the slots provided in the pole pieces as best seen in FIG. 2.
The slots 28a through 35a form narrow bridges of steel 38 through 45, respectively. The direct axis gaps and the narrow bridges provide high reluctance to the major portion of the magnetic flux generated by the ferrite slabs 16 and 17 thereby assuring that the major portion of the flux passes through the salient poles 23 and into the stator as useful flux.
The center shaft 11 is made of a non-magnetic material so that the shaft will not short the quadrature axis slots 28 and 29.
The bridges 38 through and and 51, though narrow, do have thickness dimensions which obtain some mechanical strength. Additional strength is obtained from the rugged squirrel cage formed by bars 21. It should be further noted that direct axis gaps are ordinarily provided at the center of the interpolar space; however, since the flow of interpolar flux is almost negligible, the symmetry of the rotor structure 10 is not substantially disturbed by locating the direct axis slots 32 through 35 as shown, which location is more convenient from a manufacturing standpoint.
Another advantage of the invention is the larger internal rotor diameter allowable with the rotor 10. Immediately before pull-in, in synchronous motor operation, the magnetomotive force (MMF) from the stator winding (not shown) and the MMF from the ferrite magnets will be exactly opposed. The alternating current fiux and the magnet flux will then go through the direct axis gaps 32 through 35 and a portion of the rotor steel and outer pole pieces designated by the arrowed line 55. The thickness dimension of the portion 55 must be properly dimensioned, for this operating condition, to avoid excessive magnetic saturation. Similarly, all the steel below the conductor bars 21 must be dimensioned for this reason when excitation is developed from permanent magnets located in the rotor cavity. Since the physical area of the portion 55 is multiplied by the axial extensions of the soft iron pole pieces 12 through 15, the effective magnetic internal diameter of the rotor 10 can be increased byv decreasing.
the amount of steel and iron, thereby allowing more area for larger size magnets 16 and 17.
Design of the rotor 10 involves optimizing the width of the direct-axis slots 32 through 35 and the corresponding height and width of the ferrite magnets 16 and 17, while holding the thickness dimension of the portion 55 and the shaft size to reasonable value. The entrance or face area of the soft-iron pole pieces adjacent the rotor core 20 determines the maximum axial extension of the magnets. However, this may be determined by other factors such as the maximum length of the overall machine.
Calculations on a 0.75 H.P., 4-pole, 60-cycle motor indicate that a motor using the invention will give superior performance and more output than its parent 3-phase induction motor without increasing motor length.
It should now be apparent from the foregoing description that a novel, economical and magnetically stable permanent magnet rotor has been disclosed. This is accomplished by the use of low cost, high coercive force ferrite permanent magnet slabs that are disposed within a hollow rotor core or stack and extend beyond the axial dimension of the stack. The axial extensions are thenutilized to provide magnetic flux for the stack. This is accomplished by a plurality of axially extending, flux directing pole pieces disposed coextensively With the ferrite slabs. The result is the utilization of the flux potential of the ferrite magnets to their fullest extent. By so doing, the internal diameter of the rotor core can be maximized without causing substantial saturation of the core steel during operation of the machine.
While the invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment, it will be understood that it is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiment illustrated but is intended to cover all alternative and equivalent constructions falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. For example, the embodiment shown in the figures and described in detail is a four pole machine. The invention, however, is not so limited. Any number of poles may be derived from the inventive principles involved. For example, one ferrite magnet would provide a two-pole machine, three such magnets would provide a six-pole machine, and so on.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Crossfire HD 2900 XT vs. 8800 Ultra
Power Consumption Tests
Using our new PROVA Power Analyzer WM-01 or "Power Thingy" as it has become quickly referred to by our readers, we are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into an AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark 06 at the exact same point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a 7,200RPM SATA-II single hard drive is used without CD-ROM or many cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is inevitably going to be higher.
There is no doubt that the Crossfire setup is drawing out the big numbers. Hitting over 450 Watts is pretty serious and you want to make sure you have a decent power supply. While we grab our maximum wattage in 3DMark 06 when doing some serious CPU overclocking, we managed to get over 500 Watt power draw on the Crossfire solution in 3DMark 06. So if you also consider the fact that you will most likely be able to overclock your Crossfire setup in due course, make sure you pay some serious attention to the power supply you're using.

The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza has thorough rundown of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's (R) political incubation, future ambitions, and, yes, the controversy surrounding the bridge scandal that paints the governor as ruthlessly petty yet politically astute. Some of the most interesting tidbits have been reported before — like the story that a teenaged Christie and his father considered trying to prevent another student from transferring to Christie's school and usurping his spot on the baseball team. But other fresh facts shed more light on Christie's reputation as pugnacious and thin-skinned.
To wit, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop (D) related this anecdote about his encounter with the governor:
After Fulop was elected, in May, 2013, Christie showered him with attention. Top Christie officials were scheduled to meet individually with Fulop on July 18th. "They were going to roll out the red carpet," Fulop told me. He considered endorsing Christie, but decided not to, partly because he realized that, if he ran for governor in 2017, the endorsement could be used against him in a Democratic primary. Bill Baroni, Wildstein's boss, and Christie's top appointee at the Port Authority, called and canceled his meeting with Fulop. Baroni gave no explanation and made no offer to reschedule it. Michele Brown and three other Christie officials made similar calls within twenty-four hours. "Yes, it's political retribution," Fulop told me. "And it's amateur and immature. But if I saw any indication that they were penalizing the city on something, that would've been a different animal." He added, "It's a d-ck move, but it is what it is." [The New Yorker]

In an article published in its Saturday edition, The New York Times reports that presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton picked Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate to attract more white men to her campaign:
Ultimately, Mrs. Clinton, who told PBS that she was "afflicted with the responsibility gene," avoided taking a chance with a less experienced vice-presidential candidate and declined to push the historic nature of her candidacy by adding another woman or a minority to the ticket.
Instead, the campaign, which had become concerned about its deficit with white men, focused on Mr. Kaine and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and looked more closely at Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado. [The New York Times]
Among white men, Republican Donald Trump leads Clinton 56 to 25 percent, according to a national Quinnipiac survey from the end of June.
Kaine has been described as "boring" following his addition to the ticket, a trope those close to the candidate say is unfair. "I just hate it," Beau Cribbs, Kaine's former body man, told Buzzfeed News. "I think boring is a code for white and male, frankly." Bonnie Kristian
The Alaska Supreme Court on Friday voted 4-1 to strike down a 2010 state law requiring doctors to notify the parents of girls under the age of 18 if their daughters seek an abortion.
The ruling is a win for Planned Parenthood and Alaskan abortion rights advocates, who made the case that the mandate was a violation of teens' privacy and a danger to girls living in abusive situations. In the majority opinion, Justice Daniel Winfree agreed, writing that the law posed a "discriminatory barrier to those minors seeking to exercise their fundamental privacy right to terminate a pregnancy."
Justice Craig Stowers, the sole dissenter, argued that where a minor is concerned, the state and her parents retain a "legitimate interest" in the situation and, in the parents' case, should be afforded the opportunity to discuss with their child the ramifications of the decision to abort. Parents are required to be notified and give consent where most other significant medical procedures are concerned. Bonnie Kristian
Some 3.7 million Syrian children have been born into war in their native land, but activists are using Pokémon Go to draw international attention to their plight.
The Revolutionary Forces of Syria Media Office (RFS) is sharing images of Syrian kids surrounded by chaos and violence — plus Pokémon. The images allude to the fact that you have to physically go to a new location to capture each monster, urging viewers to likewise come help.

"People on social media talk about Pokémon all the time, so I created these images to draw attention to suffering during the war and what Syrians are really searching for," said Saif Aldeen Tahhan, a graphic designer who has shared mockups of Syria Go, in which users would search for basic necessities like food and shelter instead of fantastic creatures. "I can tell you, the Syrian people are not looking for Pokémon." Bonnie Kristian
Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and her new running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, held a rally at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami Saturday, marking their official debut as a complete 2016 ticket.
Kaine is perceived as a cautious choice whom Clinton hopes will boost her fortunes among moderate Democrats and independents who might otherwise be attracted to Republican Donald Trump. Florida Democrats traveled from around the state to attend the campaign event, lining up by the hundreds outside the doors hours before it began.
Watch a live stream of the rally below. Bonnie Kristian
Former Daily Show correspondent and host of TBS' Full Frontal Samantha Bee sent out a series of cheeky tweets Friday night mocking presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's selection of Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate. Kaine is widely perceived as a cautious choice, to put nicely — which Bee did not. Take a look at a few of her tweets below, and see the rest on her feed.

In just the 11th veto of his time in office, President Obama on Friday rejected the "Presidential Allowance Modernization Act of 2016," a bill which would have capped former presidents' expense accounts at $200,000 a year and phased out presidential pensions for former executives who independently make at least $400,000 annually.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the veto was issued out of concern that the bill would "immediately terminate salaries and all benefits to staffers carrying out the official duties of former Presidents" and require the government to "immediately terminate leases, and remove furniture."
Earnest indicated that Obama, who will himself be an ex-president in six months, would consider signing a revised version of the legislation. Bonnie Kristian
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a deadly suicide bombing at a protest in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, on Saturday. At least 80 people were killed in the attack and about 230 more were wounded, officials said.
The demonstration was primarily composed of the Shia Hazara minority; ISIS represents an extreme variant of Afghanistan's Sunni majority. The two sects have historically not experienced internecine strife in Afghanistan as they have elsewhere in the Mideast, including Iraq.
The Taliban condemned the incident, calling it an "act of making enmity among Afghan ethnicities" and denying all participation. If ISIS involvement is confirmed, it will be the first time the group has made a major strike in Afghanistan outside Nangarhar province.

Bush opens four-nation European tour
Associated Press WriterBERLIN (AP) -- President Bush, opening a four-nation trip, told America's allies Wednesday "we've got to be tough" in the battle against terrorism. Thousands of demonstrators massed in central Berlin against the U.S.-led war as the president arrived.
Bush stepped off Air Force One onto a red-carpet lined by white-jacketed military troops. Despite the gathering of demonstrators, small groups of friendly people watched and waved from streets as Bush's motorcade took him to a cafe near the Brandenberg Gate for coffee with Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. A huge pro-American covering showing the White House was draped over the landmark.
More than 10,000 police were deployed in a tight security screen throughout Berlin. The area around Bush's hotel was sealed off for blocks.
Bush sought to counter European doubts about the war.
"Even though we've had some initial successes, there's still danger for countries which embrace freedom, countries such as ours, or Germany, France, Russia or Italy," Bush said as he departed the White House. "As an alliance, we must continue to fight against global terror. We've got to be tough."
Secretary of State Colin Powell emphasized that Germany and the United States have been working closely together on the Afghan campaign, as well as in the Balkans.
"This is a trip in which we can celebrate all of the cooperative efforts we've been involved in as well as talk about other issues like trade, where there are disagreements, but disagreements that we can work to resolve," Powell said. He said Bush and Schroeder would talk about Iraq in the context of nations seeking to develop weapons of mass destruction.
Bush is to address the German Parliament Thursday, seeking continued cooperation against terrorism. "I know America can't win the war on terror alone," he told the German TV station ARD.
The high point of the trip is expected to be the signing of a treaty in Moscow on Friday to slash U.S. and Russian nuclear arms. The Russian Foreign Ministry said the agreement is "fully ready for signing" by Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But a stark reminder of European skepticism awaited Bush. Some 100 protests were planned across Germany on Wednesday and Thursday to coincide with his visit. Police said they were anticipating 15,000 protesters in Berlin.
On Tuesday, Bush spoke to reporters at the White House about the trip.
Looking across a table in the Roosevelt Room at reporters from all four countries, Bush told them he surveys a threat-assessment report each morning, and added: "I am confident that I've read threats that were directed to the countries represented here."
"The best way to secure our homeland, the best way for Italy to be secure, and other countries, is to find these killers, is to hunt for them, is to chase them down," Bush later told Italy's RAI television.
Throughout the sessions with European journalists, Bush molded his answers to fit his message on terrorism.
Asked whether the U.S.-European relationship was healthy, Bush said fighting terror "is a common cause that is a powerful force that unites us."
Asked about the future of NATO, Bush said the war on terror requires just such a "collection of freedom-loving countries."
His view of Russia? "We want Russia, our partner now in fighting terrorism, to have the means to continue the fight."
Bush's trip comes at a time when some Europeans are showing signs of skepticism and impatience with the terror war. After the Sept. 11 attacks on New York City and Washington, some 200,000 Berliners gathered at the Berlin Wall to show solidarity with the United States. Many wore shirts or held signs proclaiming "We are all New Yorkers," adopting the phrase of John F. Kennedy's 1963 "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I am a Berliner) speech in support of then West Berlin, an outpost surrounded by communist East Germany.
But in the first major demonstration Tuesday in Berlin, protesters carried placards that read "Pretzels instead of bombs" and "War is terror -- stop the global Bush fire." The U.S. Embassy in Berlin sent out a message to Americans in Germany cautioning them about the demonstrations.
Bush told Germany's ARD that Iraq -- a prime candidate for any expansion of America's war -- is a menace to them.
"Iraq ought to be on the minds of the German people, and they ought to be on the minds of the American people, because the Iraq government is a dangerous government," he said.
"This is a government that's gassed its own people, this is a government that is not transparent, and this is a government we know wants to develop weapons of mass destruction," Bush said. "They may have weapons of mass destruction; we just don't know."
He emphasized he has "no military plans on my desk that calls for, that plots out a military operation. I'm looking at all options."
Bush also sought to soften his image among some Europeans as a go-it-alone leader with a distaste for alliances that are inconvenient to him.
"Listen, I believe in alliances," Bush said. He used the word "collective" five times in two interviews.
Bush likened his plainspoken style to former President Reagan's demand to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that he tear down the Berlin Wall. "He didn't say tear down a couple of bricks. He said tear the whole thing down," Bush said. "And I guess I tend to speak that way, too."

Kaffeine acts like just another windowed application, so, when not in full screen mode, you should just be able to use the usual methods you use for any other app to resize the window and move it around. I don't know what the KDE desktop defaults are, but under Windowmaker, I drag on the title bar to move, and grab one of the bottom corners of a window to resize, and the picture should resize with it.

This lovely home evocative of France, has 3 bedrooms, each with a king-sized, queen sized and twin beds. The owner (founder of Simple Slips) has provided every amenity for her guests. The location is ideal for exploring Main St. shops and Museums or the surrounding wineries and park areas nearby.
Texan Debbie Phillips has traveled extensively to France where she acquired antiques for her B & B. These trips also inspired her business, Simple Slips, for which she has been featured in Victoria, Country Living, and Home Companion magazines, as well as a segment on HGTV.
Debbie Phillips purchased this house in 2006
This unique property had an existing Bed & Breakfast and travel in France inspired the owner to recreate her experiences there in the Texas Hill Country.
The enclosed, private patio and courtyard is ideal for relaxing in a serene and quiet setting.
Enjoyed our family reunion so much.
What a perfect place for us all to get together.
Relaxed atmosphere and homey feel.
Beautiful, well laid out and equipped. A charming bit of France in German Fredericksburg.
A group of girlfriends and I stayed at La Maison for our annual girls trip. It was a beautiful house with a gorgeous patio. So spacious and lovely! We will definitely be back.
From the minute we pulled up to the property we could tell it was exceptional. I've used VRBO many times for our vacations or weekend getaways and I have to say, this was one of my favorites. She has it decorated very tastefully and adorable. Perfect for a girls getaway, which is what we used it for. So happy I found this place. I highly recommend it!
The cutest home that was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. We did not want to leave. From the over abundance of towels to every single kitchen utensil you could ever need, this house has everything and then some. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us Debbie! You helped make it a perfect girls weekend. We will be back!
Property was as nice as advertised! Owner was extremely responsive to our requests and the house is fabulous. Beds are very comfortable and the bedding is top notched. We enjoyed one of our meals out in the private / French style courtyard. House is well equipped with everything you need. I would definitely stay at this property again.
Our first experience in Fredericksburg was wonderful. The house, La Maison, was perfect for our family & friends & was exactly as it was described on the website. it was very clean & well stocked with plenty of linens & towels to accommodate our family. Because of the inclement weather, many of our activities were moved inside, the house worked perfectly. The last couple of days we were there, the sun came out & we were able to utilize the beautiful patio area. We had family members that rented the attached cottage, so it worked out perfectly. Debbie Phillips could not have been more accommodating & communicative, via email, phone or text. There wasn't anything that she didn't do to make our stay more comfortable. I would highly recommend either of her properties. I would definitely stay at La Maison again.
The climate is optimal for grapes and peaches. There are many local wineries giving tours and samples.There are numerous antique shops, and restaurants on Main St. Fredericksburg has the newly dedicated Museum of the Pacific, and the Pioneer Museum. For the adventuresome, there is the newest TX State Park, Enchanted Rock. A huge, pink granite dome, rises 425 feet above ground, 1,825 feet above sea level, and is one of the largest batholiths in the United States. There is a flat trail at its base, as well as the possibility of climbing the rock to the summit. Birdwatching is exceptional as the TX Hill Country is on the migratory path.

Outfitted with a blinker to keep him on a straight path,
Eightyfiveinafifty once again looked like one of the fastest 3-year-olds in the
country, scoring a dominating victory Saturday in the 50th running
of the Grade 3, $200,000 Bay Shore at Aqueduct
Ridden by New York's
leading jockey, Ramon Dominguez, the 4/5 favorite went right to the lead from
his inside post in the field of six. With California
invader Hurricane Ike stalking on the outside, Eightyfiveinafifty rushed
through a half-mile in 45.01 seconds and then drew away in the stretch under
mild urging.
The winner, owned by Lerner, Moirano, Team Stallion Racing
Corp., completed the seven furlong race for 3-year-olds in 1:21.89. He paid
$3.20 to win. Hurricane Ike finished second, 2½ lengths back followed by Remand
in third.
Eightyfiveinafifty, a bay son of Forest Camp, broke his
maiden in his second start on the Aqueduct inner dirt course by 17¼ lengths on
January 9. The performance earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 105, second among
3-year-olds this year to Eskendereya's 106 in the Fountain of Youth.
In his next start, however, the colt bolted toward the outer
rail and failed to complete the course in the Whirlaway on February 6. Trainer
Gary Contessa worked with Eightyfiveinafifty and added a one-cup blinker
outside his right eye for the Bay
Shore, and the colt rewarded him with a strong effort.
"He's a big horse with a big stride," Dominguez said. "It
didn't feel as if he was going in 1:08 (through six furlongs), but that's the
way it is with the good ones."
Owner Harold Lerner, head of the large partnership that
filled the winner's circle after the race, said the Derby Trial on April 24 at
Churchill Downs would be the next stop for Eightyfiveinafifty. Contessa
confirmed that.
"I think today, we're going to the Derby Trial, and he'd
have to punch his own ticket to the Kentucky Derby," Contessa said by
"One thing at a time," Lerner said. "We don't want to get
too far ahead of ourselves."
Contessa said he was relieved after the race.
"You know what I was thinking? I'm happy he didn't turn
left," Contessa said. "He sees way too much, and he thinks way too much. It's
kind of like driving a Porsche with a brain."
