A motor spacer is disclosed which is well suited for use in securely fitting a motor stator of a first diameter within a housing of a greater diameter which thus avoids the need to provide more costly stepped type housings to accommodate both motor and driven apparatus. The motor spacer is particularly well suited for use in connection with hermetic motor compressors in those applications in which it is desired to utilize a shell diameter greater than that of the motor stator yet still support the motor by the outer shell. Because the motor spacer is somewhat flexible, it facilitates simultaneous assembly of the motor stator to the spacer and the spacer within the outer shell while also accommodating a wider range of tolerances between these components.
1. A motor spacer for use in mounting of a motor stator of a first outside diameter within a housing of a diameter greater than said first diameter, said motor spacer comprising a continuous annular member having a plurality of radially outwardly facing circumferentially spaced first surface portions adapted to engage an inner surface of said housing and a plurality of radially inwardly facing circumferentially spaced second surface portions adapted to engage an outer surface of said motor stator, said first surface portions being circumferentially shifted from said second surface portions so as to avoid alignment thereof in a radial direction.
2. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 1 wherein said motor spacer includes a plurality of third surface portions facing radially inwardly and spaced from said outer surface portion of said motor stator.
3. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 2 wherein said third surface portions are interposed between adjacent second surface portions.
4. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 3 wherein said third surface portions are radially aligned with said first surface portions.
5. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 1 wherein said plurality of first surface portions lie along the circumference of an imaginary circle, said circle having a diameter relative to the diameter of said housing to enable said motor spacer to be press fitted therein.
6. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 1 further comprising arcuate portions extending between respective ones of said first and second surface portions.
7. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 6 wherein said arcuate portions provide a flexibility to said motor spacer whereby said motor spacer may accommodate housings of varying diameters and stators of varying diameters.
8. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 1 wherein said motor spacer has an axial length less than the axial length of said stator.
9. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 1 wherein said motor spacer has a substantially constant wall thickness around its circumference.
10. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 1 wherein said first surfaces are sized relative to said housing to provide a first predetermined gripping force, said second surface portions are sized relative to said stator to provide a second predetermined gripping force, said first and second predetermined gripping forces being sufficient to resist relative movement between said stator and said housing.
11. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 1 wherein said first surface portions lie along the circumference of an imaginary circle of a second predetermined diameter and said second surface portions lie along the circumference of an imaginary circle of a third predetermined diameter, the difference between said second and third predetermined diameters being greater than the difference between said first outside diameter and said housing diameter.
12. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 11 further comprising interconnecting portions extending between said first and second surface portions, said interconnecting portions imparting a slight flexibility to said motor spacer whereby said second predetermined diameter may be decreased as said motor spacer is assembled to said housing.
13. A motor spacer as set forth in claim 12 wherein said interconnecting portions enable said third predetermined diameter to be increased as said motor spacer is assembled to said stator.
14. A refrigeration compressor comprising:
an outer shell including a generally cylindrical portion of a first diameter;

a motor disposed within said shell and drivingly connected to said compressor, said motor including a stator of a second diameter, said second diameter being less than said first diameter; and
a motor spacer for mounting said stator within said generally cylindrical portion, said motor spacer including a plurality of first radially outwardly facing surface portions engaging an inner surface of said shell, a plurality of second radially inwardly facing surface portions engaging said stator, said first and second surface portions cooperating to provide the sole support of said stator within said cylindrical portion of said shell.
15. A refrigeration compressor as set forth in claim 14 wherein said first surface portions are shifted circumferentially from said second surface portions so as to avoid radial alignment thereof.
16. A refrigeration compressor as set forth in claim 14 further comprising interconnecting portions extending between selected ones of said first and second surface portions, said interconnecting portions operating to allow slight relative radial movement between said first and second surfaces as said motor spacer, said stator and said cylindrical portion are assembled.
17. A refrigeration compressor as set forth in claim 14 wherein said compressor is a scroll compressor.
18. A refrigeration compressor as set forth in claim 16 wherein said motor spacer is in the form of an annular ring, said first and second surfaces being positioned in alternating circumferentially spaced relationship with said interconnecting portions being positioned between circumferentially adjacent first and second surfaces.
19. A refrigeration compressor as set forth in claim 14 wherein said first surface portions lie along the circumference of an imaginary circle of a third diameter, said second surface portions lie along the circumference of an imaginary circle of a fourth diameter, the size of said first and second surface portions, the relative size between said first and third diameters and the relative size between said second and fourth diameters being selected so as to provide a sufficient gripping force to resist relative movement between said motor stator and said outer shell.
The present invention relates generally to an apparatus incorporating driving motors disposed in a common housing and more specifically to hermetic motor compressor assemblies.
Many types of machines incorporate a driving motor disposed in a housing which housing also encloses the apparatus being driven by the motor. Hermetic motor compressors are typical of such machines. In the case of most reciprocating compressor designs, the motor stator is usually mounted directly to the cylinder block, as is desirable with the conventional internal spring mounting arrangement of the cylinder block used in such compressors. In the case of scroll (or rotary) compressor designs, where spring-mounting of the compression members is not required, a simplified and more economical method can be employed. For these cases, the motor is usually mounted by press fit directly into the compressor shell, thereby requiring the size of the motor stator laminations outer diameter to coincide with the size of the compressor shell.
In the design of scroll compressors for particular applications, it may be desirable to allow the size of the compressor shell to depart from the frame size of the motor stator, allowing geometrical optimization of both members to occur independent of the other. In the case where the desired compressor shell size is larger than the size of the desired motor stator frame, the need arises to arrive at a convenient method of mounting the motor stator, so as to avoid the economical disadvantages of added cast iron housings, mounting fasteners, and the like. While it is possible to provide a shell having a first portion of one diameter to accommodate the compressor and another portion of a different diameter to accommodate the motor stator, such stepped type shells are more costly to fabricate than conventional cylindrical shells.
In applications in which the motor stator diameter is less than the compressor diameter it is possible to incorporate an intermediate sleeve member having an inside diameter that adapted to receive the motor stator in a press fit relationship and an outside diameter adapted to receive the compressor outer shell in a press fit relationship. In the case where the difference in size between the motor stator and the compressor shell is large, the primary problem faced with this approach is damage (buckling) to the motor stator laminations, due to the extreme stiffness created by the thickness of the sleeve. In such cases, all the stress present from the press fit is affected primarily normal to the stator lamination outside diameter. This problem is greatly magnified if a cold press-fit technique (most economical) is employed, as the stress of the press fit between the parts must be initially supported solely by the first (several) lamination(s) in the stack, during the initial entry of the press fit.
The present invention overcomes these problems by providing a flexible sleeve which flexes when subjected to the forces from the press fit of the motor stator and the compressor shell, while transmitting enough normal force to "grip" between the compressor shell and the motor stator, thereby effectively supporting the motor and the torque generated thereby. The more flexible the sleeve can be designed, the less strict control of size is permitted in the manufacture of the stator laminations and the compressor shell.
In a preferred embodiment, the sleeve is in the form of an irregular or multilobed cylinder in which a plurality of radially inner surfaces are provided which engage the stator and a plurality of radially outer surfaces engage the outer shell and are circumferentially offset from the radially inner surfaces. By selection of the size, material and wall thickness, the retaining forces exerted on both the stator and shell can be controlled to ensure adequate holding power while still enabling efficient press fit assembly of the components.
Additional advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent description and the appended claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of a scroll-type refrigeration compressor incorporating a motor stator supported within an outer shell in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plane view of the motor spacer ring shown in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a section view of the compressor shown in FIG. 1, the section being taken along line 3--3 thereof.
Referring now to the drawings and in particular to FIG. 1, there is shown a hermetic refrigeration compressor of the scroll-type indicated generally at 10. Compressor 10 includes an outer shell 12 within which is disposed a compressor assembly indicated generally at 14 and a drive motor 16.
Outer shell 12 includes a generally circular cylindrical center member 18, a bottom cover member 20 secured to the lower end thereof and a top cover member 22 secured to the upper end of center member 18. The lower portion of shell 12 also defines a sump 21 for lubricant. A muffler plate 24 is also provided being secured about its periphery to both top cover member 22 and center member 18 and serves to define a discharge chamber in the upper end portion of shell 12 adapted to receive compressed refrigerant discharged from compressor assembly 14. A suction inlet fitting 23 is provided in center member 18 and a discharge outlet fitting 25 is provided in top cover member 22.
Compressor assembly 14 includes a main bearing housing 26 which is supportingly secured to center potion 18 of outer shell and rotatably supports a drive shaft 28. An orbiting scroll member 30 is drivingly coupled to an eccentric pin portion of crankshaft 28 and is axially supported for orbital movement on bearing housing 26. A non-orbiting scroll member 32 is axially movably secured to main bearing housing 26 and includes a centrally located discharge port 34 axially aligned with a discharge inlet opening 36 provided in muffler plate 24. A floating seal 38 is positioned in surrounding relationship to discharge port 34 and defines a sealed fluid passage between discharge port 34 and discharge inlet opening 36.
Scroll members 30 and 32 each include an end plate 40 and 42 respectively from which spiral wraps 44, 46 respectively project. As shown, spiral wraps 44 and 46 are positioned in interleaved relationship with their respective tips being in sealing engagement with the end plate of the opposed scroll member. As orbiting scroll member 30 undergoes orbital movement with respect to non-orbiting scroll member 32, wraps 44 and 46 will define moving fluid pockets which decrease in size as they travel from a radially outer position to a radially inner position.
In order to prevent rotational movement of orbiting scroll member 30, an Oldham coupling 48 is provided being supported on main bearing housing 26 and including pairs of abutments engaging abutments provided on orbiting scroll member 30 and non-orbiting scroll member 32.
A lower bearing assembly 50 is also provided which is secured to center member 18 adjacent the lower end thereof and serves to rotatably support the lower end of drive shaft 28. The lower end of drive shaft 28 extends into lubricant sump 21 and includes a suitable pump and internal passages for directing oil from the sump to lubricate the bearings and other moving components of compressor 10.
Driving motor 16 is disposed below compressor assembly 14 and includes a rotor 52 secured to drive shaft 18 intermediate the ends thereof and a stator 54 positioned in surrounding relationship to rotor 52.
In operation, suction gas is drawn into outer shell 12 through suction inlet fitting 23 and thence into pockets being formed between wraps 44 and 46 through inlet openings at the outer periphery of scroll members 30 and 32. As orbiting scroll member 30 orbits with respect to scroll member 32, the thus formed fluid pockets will travel radially inwardly being progressively reduced in size and thus compressing the suction gas. The compressed refrigerant will ultimately be discharged through discharge port 34 into the discharge chamber from which it flows to the refrigeration or air condition system via discharge outlet 25.
Compressor 10, as thus far described, is disclosed in greater detail in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,767,293; 5,156,539; 5,411,384; and 5,320,506, all of which are owned by the assignee of the present invention and the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
As mentioned above, in many cases it is desirable to utilize a motor in which the stator has an outside diameter less than that of the compressor assembly and/or outer shell. In order to enable such motors to be utilized in such compressors without the added expense of providing a reduced diameter shell to accommodate the motor stator or some other fastening arrangement, the present invention provides a motor spacer ring 56 which is designed to be press fitted onto the outer periphery of the motor stator 54 and the assembly to then be press fitted into the center member 18 of outer shell 12.
As best seen with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, motor spacer ring 56 is generally circular in shape having a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially outwardly projecting portions 58 provided around the circumference thereof. A plurality of radially inwardly spaced portions 60 are interposed between projections 58 and include radially outwardly extending arcuate portions 62 at opposite ends thereof which serve to interconnect portions 58 and 60.
Portions 58 each include a radially outwardly facing surface 64 all of which surfaces lie along the circumference of an imaginary circle, the diameter of which is sized relative to the inside diameter of center portion 18 of shell 12 to enable motor spacer 56 to be press fitted therein. Similarly, each of radially inwardly spaced portions 60 includes a radially inwardly facing surface 66 all of which surfaces lie along the circumference of a second imaginary circle, the diameter of which is selected relative to the diameter of the motor stator 54 so as to enable the motor spacer 56 to be press fitted onto the motor stator 54. Preferably, slight chamfers 68 and 70 will be provided at the axial ends of surfaces 64 and 66 respectively so as to facilitate a press fit assembly of motor spacer 56 to outer shell 12 and motor stator 54.
As best seen with reference to FIG. 3, when motor spacer 56 is assembled to stator 54 and center portion 18 of outer shell 12, surfaces 64 will be in tight press fitted engaging relationship with the inner peripheral surface of outer shell 12 and surfaces 66 will be in tight press fitted engaging relationship with the outer periphery of stator 54. As shown, the radially inner surface of outwardly projecting portions 58 is spaced away from the outer surface of stator 54 thus preventing the forces resulting from the press fit relationship between outer shell 12 and motor spacer 56 being directly transferred to motor stator 54. Similarly, the radially outwardly facing surfaces of portions 60 are spaced away form shell 12 thus preventing the forces resulting from the press fit relationship between motor stator 54 and motor spacer 56 form being directly transmitted to the outer shell 12. These respective spaces together with the arcuate portions 62 thus enable some flexing of the motor spacer ring whereby the press fitting forces may be accommodated without risk of potential damage to the motor stator laminations. This flexibility is particularly important during the assembly process as the press fitting forces are initially exerted on only the first few of the stator laminations as the stator is being press fitted into the spacer and the spacer is being press fitted into the shell. Should these forces become excessive, these initial laminations could become damaged thereby potentially impairing operation of the motor.
It should be noted that while motor spacer 56 has been shown as incorporating six of each of surfaces 64 and 66, the number as well as the relative size (in both axial and circumferential directions) thereof may be varied for a particular application so as to provide a sufficient surface area of engagement to ensure a secure fixed supporting relationship is created between the outer shell 12 and motor stator 54. Additionally, the "gripping force" may also be controlled by properly selecting the flexibility of arcuate portions 62. Preferably, these various factors will be controlled so as to enable motor stator 54 to be press fitted to motor spacer 56 simultaneously with the press fitting of motor spacer 56 into center member 18 of shell 12. It should also be noted that because of the flexibility of motor spacer 56, greater tolerances may be accommodated in both the motor stator and shell construction thus offering an additional economical advantage. In a preferred version, the wall thickness of motor spacer will be substantially constant which facilitates manufacturing thereof such as by powdered metal technology. It is possible by such procedures to fabricate motor spacer 56 in its final form without requiring any secondary finishing or machining operations thus keeping the costs of spacer 56 at a reduced level.
As may now be appreciated, the present invention provides a relatively inexpensive means by which motor stators of small diameters may be easily and conveniently utilized in motor compressor or other apparatus in which the motor and driven apparatus are press fitted within a common housing. It should be noted that while motor spacer 56 has been shown in conjunction with a scroll compressor, it is well suited for use in many other applications including for example other types of rotary compressors.
While it will be apparent that the preferred embodiments of the invention disclosed are well calculated to provide the advantages and features above stated, it will be appreciated that the invention is susceptible to modification, variation and change without departing from the proper scope or fair meaning of the subjoined claims.

Comfort Food at Culinary Dropout in Las Vegas
Vegas. While many people find this city to be the adult equivalent of Disneyland - the happiest, most sinful place on Earth - it's not a city I enjoy visiting. Though I have to admit it's changed quite a bit for the better since my first drive across that seemingly endless desert 25 years ago. The fact that it's now one of the best food cities in the world - if you have the money - helps keep my misery at bay. It's also one of the most crowded and widespread places, so driving around isn't really an option for someone trying to escape that particular hell in Los Angeles.
We were in town for a show at the Hard Rock, so eating in the hotel was a must. While they have a decent number of choices, after seeing a picture of the Pretzel Bites & Provolone Fondue from Culinary Dropout, I knew where we would be doing our pre-show dining. I can't resist carbs and cheese. Why would anybody want to? While that appetizer lured me in, I also saw a pic of their Fried Chicken with Honey Biscuit and Mashed Potatoes. That sealed the deal.
I've never actually been to the South and had an "authentic" version of this dish, but I still crave it nonetheless. Comfort food just makes you feel good. And happy. And full. My mouth was drooling in anticipation. With the distance between everything in the hotel - with the obligatory route from your room forcing you through the casino in the most annoying way possible - I was sure to burn off enough calories walking to the restaurant to truly enjoy myself.
Helmed by 5-time James Beard Foundation semi-finalist for Outstanding Restauranteur, owner Sam Fox runs 28 restaurants in five states. That's a lot of seats to fill. There are two other versions of this gastro-pub "chain" in the Phoenix area, so clearly he must be doing something right.
I had wanted to try the 36-hour Ribs as well, but when I caught sight of the actual size of my first two choices, I knew even starving, my husband and I would not be able to eat everything. Something to look forward to for next time. We've already decided that we'll be staying at the Hard Rock from now on whenever we come to Vegas - it's smaller and less-crowded than the other hotels and they play awesome music throughout the casino. It's a little much at 9am when you're desperate for coffee, but otherwise it makes for a super cool vibe.
We were at the restaurant with a very large group, but the service was quick and friendly and the staff was amazingly helpful and accommodating. There's nothing very inventive about the Pretzel Bite Fondue, but man, it was soooo satisfying. They were perfectly soft, yet chewy with just the right amount of salt. Add cheese and you're in gastro pub heaven. Everyone ordered them and they disappeared in a flash. They were just what you expect of bar food.
The Fried Chicken was equally as good. Crunchy and super juicy with just the right amount of salt and spice. The plate comes with 3 giant pieces with fluffy, but unmemorable mash. The biscuit on the other hand was lovely. Fluffy with just a hint of honey. I thank God there was only one, I would eaten a whole basket. Usually I slather my biscuits with butter but this didn't need a thing. Plus I didn't need to eat any more calories.
The big surprise of our meal was the Kale & Sweet Potato Salad with Pears, Goat Cheese and Pecans. I was looking for something to combat all the over-indulgence and it certainly hit the spot. Fresh and lively with great texture and flavors that really complemented each other, especially if you got a bit of everything on he fork. Kale salads have become de rigeur these days however, this one was a stand out from the usual crowd.
The beer lists was both interesting and extensive - it made me wish I still drank beer - however, the wine list was sorely lacking. I'm not surprised. People don't come to Vegas to drink wine and if they do they are usually looking for trophy bottles to impress their friends or clients. Bang for the Buck is not a consideration in this town. They may have had a larger list, and probably do at their other locations, but I didn't have the time or inclination to ask.
I'm not sure I would make a special trip from whatever casino you're staying in to visit this restaurant unless you really have a hankering for some kick-ass chicken; however, if you're staying at the Hard Rock and need a place for some comforting food to offset all the booze this is place you want to go.

6715Re: [hreg] Fwd: Re: I guess I should ask........
- Aug 21, 2007It turns out, I seem to recall, that to send a rocket into the sun is more expensive energetically than sending into interstellar space (anything starting on the earth is already going around the sun at a considerable speed and to go into the sun it must slow down. The work required to slow it down sufficiently is greater than the work required to achieve solar system escape velocity). I don't know if it is possible to use, say, a Venus flyby to reduce the angular momentum enough to plunge the rocket into the sun.
Furthermore, a number of years ago there was a great controversy about sending up a satellite payload that had plutonium as an energy source in its power supply. The satellite was launched, but it was in the face of a great hue and cry. Therefore, even if it turned out to be economical, the controversy and real substantial risk (rockets still occasionally fail during launch) of sending the many existing tons of radioactive waste into either space or the sun probably would be too great.
Some one mentioned earlier a "nuclear power bandwagon". There may be such a bandwagon, but there also seems to be a bandwagon that is theologically opposed to doing anything with radioactive waste -- which is sitting in surface storage currently (it is safe from the point of view of radiation containment, but vulnerable to terrorism). Even if by some miracle of public enlightenment we were to succeed in getting a Congress and Administration dominated by Sierra Club members, the radioactive waste material currently in storage in pools above ground would not disappear -- it would still be a problem to be solved.
I believe the following approach to disposal is the safest and most reasonable: The radioactive material can be placed in ceramic (glass) ingots, which should be stable for tens of millenia, at least. Then these ingots can be deposited in a number of places where they would be "safe". One possibility is the bottom of a deep sea trench where there is a geologic subduction zone -- I believe the Marianas Trench is an example -- the material would be beneath 5 miles of water, and over the millenia the ingots would be reabsorbed into the mantel of the earth. Another safe location, although this would seem counter intuitive, would be on the bottom of the ocean floor, on the "downstream" side of something like the mid-Atlantic ridge. These regions are among the most geologically stable on earth, expanding slowly away from the ridge where new continental material is being formed. Material from the surface is constantly being layered down on the sea floor, covering what is there now with sediments. The results of this slow but stable sedimentary process, which lasts over 100s of millions of years, are evident in the uniform strata that are exposed almost anywhere a road or river cuts through a hill side, or -- very spectacularly -- in places like the Grand Canyon.

Product description
Even the French admit that Jancis Robinson is the "undisputed mistress of the kingdom of wine" (Le Figaro). Internationally renowned for her work in both television and print, she is the editor of the bestselling Oxford Companion to Wine and has won more than two dozen major awards around the world. Tasting Pleasure is her compelling account of a passion that began while studying at Oxford University.Writing with Julia Child's authority, Elizabeth David's intelligence, and M.F.K. Fisher's verve, Robinson takes us on a journey through the world's finest cellars, most beautiful vineyards, and best restaurants. As she explores the universe of the grape--from Bordeaux to Australia and South Africa to California--we meet scores of colorful, wine-loving characters, including Philippe de Rothschild, Julian Barnes, Francis Ford Coppola, and Julio Gallo.There are many books about producing and rating wine; this one is about enjoying it. Witty, revealing, and knowledgeable, in Tasting Pleasure Jancis Robinson has distilled twenty years in the wine world into a hugely entertaining read.

Madison Avenue is in better shape than many of the industries for which it creates ads; and agencies are still making big deals, actively pursuing mergers and acquisitions.
Mergers and acquisitions are back, and the rise of the big deal is set to fuel banks' top lines.
If you're interested in finance, you probably have a Type A personality:
The year 2014 was big for mergers and acquisitions (M&As) all over the world, seeing over $3.4 trillion worth of M&A-related activity — the most since the record $4.3 trillion of M&As in 2007. This was largely because of increased confidence in the overall market recovery, coupled with a strong stock market. The US alone registered a 54% year-over-year growth in M&A activity, which came out to be valued at $1.5 trillion in 2014.
Turn on financial television or pick up a financially related magazine or newspaper and you will hear or read about what some stock analyst from some major Wall Street brokerage has to say about the markets or a particular company. For the average person, and for most financial advisors, this information as taken as "fact" and is used as basis for portfolio investment decisions. But why wouldn't you? After all
In the wake of the financial crisis, regulatory agencies were mandated power to better inspect and punish big banks. One of the ways Wall Street has tried to outmaneuver these agencies is by hiring away the same regulatory offices' top staff.
Earlier this week, we wrote about how the New York Times' Dealbook, the creature of Wall Street sycophant Andrew Ross Sorkin, had launched a fierce campaign against Elizabeth Warren's latest move, her opposition to the Obama administration's nomination of Lazard's Antonio Weiss, a mergers and acquisitions banker. Warren's grounds for objecting to Weiss were straightforward: his experience was no fit for the requirements of his proposed Treasury role.
As New York's lefty mayor Bill de Blasio likes to say, the Big Apple is a tale of two cities, one on the ups and one on the downs.

William Randall Jenkins
I have confirmed that the connection you requested would be incorrect. The William Randall Jenkins in my tree is the son of James (from South Carolina) and Martha (of Florida). According to the 1880 US census of Hamilton County, Precinct 2, James and Martha had the following children:
Mary age 16
William age 14
Joseph age 12
Martha age 9
Samuel age 7
in addition, the 1885 Florida Census for Hamilton County list the following children in the house:
W. R. age 19
J. L. age 16
M. R. age 15
S. ? age 12
I also called Lamar Jenkins, Property Appraiser for this county and inquired his grandfather's name. He is a cousin of my maternal cousin, Frances Jenkins Fennell. Lamar stated that his grand father was Joe (Joseph) L. Jenkins who had brothers William Randall, Sam, and one called "Skid." His grandfather had lived in Hamilton County.
I believe we are talking about two different William Jenkins.
Let me know if you have any questions.

findagrave request
your request, "Additional information. Please link William Jenkins to his parents. Father: Robert A. Jenkins memorial # 44033181 and his mother Pinkie Burnett Jenkins memorial # 44033252," is incorrect.
Pinkie Burnett Jenkins 39356249 is the wife of William Randall Jenkins 44374986, not the mother. The Find A Grave number you gave is for Sara E. Roberts Jenkins 44033252.
Williams Randall and Pinkie Burnett Jenkins are the grandparents of my maternal first cousin, Frances Jenkins Fennell. She knew very little about the Jenkins family as Jenkins family history was never discussed at her house, even though her father, Frank Jenkins lived until she was grown.

Calif. moves to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants
Supporters of the bill say it is about public safety, while others voiced concerns
By Matt O'Brien
San Jose Mercury News
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — After a late-night debate Thursday, the Legislature is handing to Gov. Jerry Brown a bill to grant driver's licenses to young illegal immigrants granted temporary work permits by the federal government.
The Assembly on Thursday night passed AB 2189 in a 55-21 vote after the Senate approved the bill in a 25-7 vote Wednesday, adding to the more than 230 bills that at mid-day Friday were on the governor's desk on the Legislature's final day of its yearly session.

Hostess Brands LLC, the U.S. bakery company whose snack cake brands include Twinkies and Ding Dongs, has pulled itself from the auction block and will instead pursue an initial public offering (IPO), according to people familiar with the matter. The move underscores the growth prospects of Hostess as well as its quick turnaround. In 2013 the Kansas City, Missouri-based company was picked up from bankruptcy by private equity firm Apollo Global Management LLC and consumer industry investor C. Dean Metropoulos for $410 million.
The US trade deficit widened modestly in May as exports fell more than imports amid a slowing global economy, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. The US has long criticized China for keeping its yuan currency undervalued to gain an unfair trade advantage.

Lady Gaga A Restaurateur?
[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Lady Gaga[/lastfm] is helping her father open an Italian restaurant in New York City.
Lets hope her meat dress isn't on the menu.
NME is reporting The singer has been advising her father, Joe Germanotta, on the menu at Joanna Trattoria, which includes a ten layer lasagne, Nutella donuts, mini-Martini cocktails, and "Grandma Rosie's Meatballs."
Gaga will also indulge her artistic side by creating the art for the restaurant.
Joe Germanotta will be running the eatery with celebrity chef, Art Smith. It's good they found a chef, because Joe added on his daughters cooking skills, "She's left-handed and every time I watch her chop, it makes me cringe."
Were glad the restaurant hasn't distracted her that much, Gaga plans on releasing another album later this year.

Breakfast, location
Our ceiling was leaking and there was black mold all over the ceiling tiles.
Breakfast had no protein except hardboiled eggs.
Very friendly service
Bed and pillows and room.
Way over priced. It did not have an elevator. Something's that were complimentary were not available and no effort to replenish. The front desk was unable to provide change for its guests. The connected restaurant is closed. Some minor up keep issues.
Clean, nice staff, quiet..
The free breakfast bar was Great! We were very surprised. It included the basics: eggs, sausage, toast, bagels, donuts, and biscuits with gravy. The man servicing the bar was very friendly and helpful.
We only stayed one night so did not fine anything to complain about.
The breakfast was very good. The staff was friendly,
The room was tiny. The refrigerator and microwave were out in one corner attached to a surge protector. Wires were sticking out all over by one side of the bed. The room did not meet up to my standards for what we paid for the room.a night room.
We were in the executive suites at the back of the hotel and had a very nice room. The breakfast is always excellent. We have stayed in this hotel many times.
We had a room at the back of the hotel and with the trains and trash trucks it was very noisy. We will be sure to stay in the front or have an inside room from now on.
We were exhausted after a 17 hour travel day. The room was clean comfortable and quiet.
The price! ----- for a quick stop was more than we ever want to pay.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
