This invention relates to compositions for use in preventing and extinguishing fires based on the combustion of combustible materials. More particularly, it relates to such compositions that are highly effective and "environmentally safe". Specifically, the compositions of this invention have little or no effect on the ozone layer depletion process; and make no or very little contribution to the global warming process known as the "greenhouse effect". Although these compositions have minimal effect in these areas, they are extremely effective in preventing and extinguishing fires, particularly fires in enclosed spaces.
In preventing or extinguishing fires, two important elements must be considered for success: (1) separating the combustibles from air; and (2) avoiding or reducing the temperature necessary for combustion to proceed. Thus, one can smother small fires with blankets or with foams to cover the burning surfaces to isolate the combustibles from the oxygen in the air. In the customary process of pouring water on the burning surfaces to put out the fire, the main element is reducing temperature to a point where combustion cannot proceed. Obviously, some smothering or separation of combustibles from air also occurs in the water situation.
The particular process used to extinguish fires depends upon several items, e.g. the location of the fire, the combustibles involved, the size of the fire, etc. In fixed enclosures such as computer rooms, storage vaults, rare book library rooms, petroleum pipeline pumping stations and the like, halogenated hydrocarbon fire extinguishing agents are currently preferred. These halogenated hydrocarbon fire extinguishing agents are not only effective for such fires, but also cause little, if any, damage to the room or its contents. This contrasts to the well-known "water damage" that can sometimes exceed the fire damage when the customary water pouring process is used.
The halogenated hydrocarbon fire extinguishing agents that are currently most popular are the bromine-containing halocarbons, e.g. bromofluoromethane (CF3 Br, Halon 1301) and bromochlorodifluoromethane (CF2 ClBr, Halon 1211). It is believed that these bromine-containing fire extinguishing agents are highly effective in extinguishing fires in progress because, at the elevated temperatures involved in the combustion, these compounds decompose to form products containing bromine atoms which effectively interfere with the self-sustaining free radical combustion process and, thereby, extinguish the fire. These bromine-containing halocarbons may be dispensed from portable equipment or from an automatic room flooding system activated by a fire detector.
In many situations, enclosed spaces are involved. Thus, fires may occur in rooms, vaults, enclosed machines, ovens, containers, storage tanks, bins and like areas. The use of an effective amount of fire extinguishing agent in an enclosed space involves two situations. In one situation, the fire extinguishing agent is introduced into the enclosed space to extinguish an existing fire; the second situation is to provide an ever-present atmosphere containing the fire "extinguishing" or, more accurately the fire prevention agent in such an amount that fire cannot be initiated nor sustained. Thus, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,844,354, Larsen suggests the use of chloropentafluoroethane (CF3 --CF2 C1) in a total flooding system (TFS) to extinguish fires in a fixed enclosure, the chloropentafluoroethane being introduced into the fixed enclosure to maintain its concentration at less than 15%. On the other hand, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,715,438, Huggett discloses creating an atmosphere in a fixed enclosure which does not sustain combustion. Huggett provides an atmosphere consisting essentially of air, a perfluorocarbon selected from carbon tetrafluoride, hexafluoroethane, octafluoropropane and mixtures thereof.
It has also been known that bromine-containing halocarbons such as Halon 1211 can be used to provide an atmosphere that will not support combustion. However, the high cost due to bromine content and the toxicity to humans i.e. cardiac sensitization at relatively low levels (e.g. Halon 1211 cannot be used above 1-2%) make the bromine-containing materials unattractive for long term use.
In recent years, even more serious objections to the use of brominated halocarbon fire extinguishants has arisen. The depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, and particularly the role of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) have led to great interest in developing alternative refrigerants, solvents, blowing agents, etc. It is now believed that bromine-containing halocarbons such as Halon 1301 and Halon 1211 are at least as active as chlorofluorocarbons in the ozone layer depletion process.
While perfluorocarbons such as those suggested by Huggett, cited above, are believed not to have as much effect upon the ozone depletion process as chlorofluorocarbons, their extraordinarily high stability makes them suspect in another environmental area, that of "greenhouse effect". This effect is caused by accumulation of gases that provide a shield against heat transfer and results in the undesirable warming of the earth's surface.
There is, therefore, a need for an effective fire extinguishing composition and process which contributes little or nothing to the stratospheric ozone depletion process or to the "greenhouse effect"
It is an object of the present invention to provide such a fire extinguishing composition; and to provide a process for preventing and controlling fire in a fixed enclosure by introducing into said fixed enclosure, an effective amount of the composition.
The present invention is based on the finding that an effective amount of a composition consisting essentially of at least one partially fluoro-substituted propane selected from the group of the heptafluoropropanes (CF3 --CF2 --CHF2 and CF3 --CFH--CF3), also known as HFC-227ca and HFC-227ea, the hexafluoropropanes (CF3 --CH2 --CF3 --CF3 --CH2 CH2 F and CF2 H--CF2 --CF2 H), also known as HFC-236fa, HFC-236 cb and HFC-236 ca, and the chlorohexafluoropropanes (CFClF-CF2 --CF3, CHF CF3 --CHCl-CF3, CF3 --CHF--CF2 Cl, and CHF2 -CFCl-CF3), also known as HCFC-226ca, HCFC-226cb, HCFC-226da, HCFC-226ea and HCFC-226ba, will prevent and/or extinguish fire based on the combustion of combustible materials, particularly in an enclosed space, without adversely affecting the atmosphere from the standpoint of ozone depletion or "greenhouse effect". Also useful in this invention are those partially fluoro-substituted propanes with normal boiling points above 25� C., i.e. HFC-236ea, HCFC-225ca, HCFC-225cb, HCFC-225aa, HCFC-225da, HCFC-235ca, HCFC-235cb, HCFC-235cc, and HCFC-235fa.
The partially fluoro-substituted propanes above may be used in conjunction with as little as 1% of at least one halogenated hydrocarbon selected from the group of difluoromethane (HFC-32), chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22), 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HCFC-123), 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethan (HCFC-123a), 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124), 1-chloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124a), pentafluoroethane (HFC-125), 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134), 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a), 3,3-dichloro-1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane (HCFC-225ca), 1,3-dichloro-1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane (HCFC-225cb), 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HCFC-225aa), 2,3-dichloro-1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HCFC-225da), 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ca), 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ea), 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane (HFC-236ea), 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane (HFC-236fa), 1,1,1,2,2,3-hexafluoropropane (HFC-236cb), 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane (HFC-236ca), 3-chloro-1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane (HCFC-235ca), 3-chloro-1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane (HCFC-235cb), 1-chloro-1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane (HCFC-235cc), 3-chloro-1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HCFC-235fa), 3-chloro-1,1,1,2,2,3-hexafluoropropane (HCFC-226ca), 1-chloro-1,1,2,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane (HCFC-226 cb), 2-chloro-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane (HCFC-226da), 3-chloro-1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane (HCFC-226ea), and 2-chloro-1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane (HCFC-226ba).
The partially fluoro-substituted propanes, when added in adequate amounts to the air in a confined space, eliminate the combustion-sustaining properties of the air and suppress the combustion of flammable materials, such as paper, cloth, wood, flammable liquids, and plastic items, which may be present in the enclosed compartment.
These fluoropropanes are extremely stable and chemically inert. They do not decompose at temperatures as high as 350� C. to produce corrosive or toxic products and cannot be ignited even in pure oxygen so that they continue to be effective as a flame suppressant at the ignition temperatures of the combustible items present in the compartment.
The preferred fluoropropanes are HFC-227 ca, HFC-227 ea, HFC-236 cb, HFC-236 fa, HFC-236 ca and HFC-236 ca, i.e. the HFC-227 and 236 series. The particularly preferred fluoropropanes HFC-227 ca, HFC-227 ea, HFC-236 cb and HFC-236 fa are additionally advantageous because of their low boiling points, i.e. boiling points at normal atmospheric pressure of less than 1.2� C. Thus, at any low environmental temperature likely to be encountered, these gases will not liquefy and will not, thereby, diminish the fire preventive properties of the modified air. In fact, any material having such a low boiling point would be suitable as a refrigerant.
The heptafluoropropanes HFC-227 ea and HFC-227 ca are also characterized by an extremely low boiling point and high vapor pressure, i.e. above 44.3 and 42.0 psig at 21� C. respectively. This permits HFC-227 ea and HFC-227 ca to act as their own propellants in "hand-held" fire extinguishers. Heptafluoropropanes (HFC-227 ea and HFC-227 ca) may also be used with other materials such as those disclosed on page 5 of this specification to act as the propellant and coextinguishant for these materials of lower vapor pressure. Alternatively, these other materials of lower vapor pressure may be propelled from a portable fire extinguisher or fixed system by the usual propellants, i.e. nitrogen or carbon dioxide. Their relatively low toxicity and their short atmospheric lifetime (with little effect on the global warming potential) compared to the perfluoroalkanes (with lifetimes of over 500 years) make these fluoropropanes ideal for this fire-extinguisher use.
To eliminate the combustion-sustaining properties of the air in the confined space situation, the gas or gases should be added in an amount which will impart to the modified air a heat capacity per mole of total oxygen present sufficient to suppress or prevent combustion of the flammable, non-self-sustaining materials present in the enclosed environment.
The minimum heat capacity required to suppress combustion varies with the combustibility of the particular flammable materials present in the confined space. It is well known that the combustibility of materials, namely their capability for igniting and maintaining sustained combustion under a given set of environmental conditions, varies according to chemical composition and certain physical properties, such as surface area relative to volume, heat capacity, porosity, and the like. Thus, thin, porous paper such as tissue paper is considerably more combustible than a block of wood.
In general, a heat capacity of about 40 cal./�C and constant pressure per mole of oxygen is more than adequate to prevent or suppress the combustion of materials of relatively moderate combustibility, such as wood and plastics. More combustible materials, such as paper, cloth, and some volatile flammable liquids, generally require that the fluoropropane be added in an amount sufficient to impart a higher heat capacity. It is also desirable to provide an extra margin of safety by imparting a heat capacity in excess of minimum requirements for the particular flammable materials. A minimum heat capacity of 45 cal./ C per mole of oxygen is generally adequate for moderately combustible materials and a minimum of about 50 cal./.C per mole of oxygen for highly flammable materials. More can be added if desired but, in general, an amount imparting a heat capacity higher than about 55 cal./� C. per mole of total oxygen adds substantially to the cost without any substantial further increase in the fire safety factor.
Heat capacity per mole of total oxygen can be determined by the formula: ##EQU1## wherein: Cp *=total heat capacity per mole of oxygen at constant pressure;
Po2 =partial pressure of oxygen;
Pz =partial pressure of other gas;
(Cp)z =heat capacity of other gas at constant pressure.
The boiling points of the fluoropropanes used in this invention and the mole percents required to impart to air heat capacities (Cp) of 40 and 50 cal./�C. at a temperature of 25� C. and constant pressure while maintaining a 20% and 16% oxygen content are tabulated below:

Introduction of the appropriate fluoropropanes is easily accomplished by metering appropriate quantities of the gas or gases into the enclosed air-containing compartment.
The air in the compartment can be treated at any time that it appears desirable. The modified air can be used continuously if a threat of fire is constantly present or if the particular environment is such that the fire hazard must be kept at an absolute minimum; or the modified air can be used as an emergency measure if a threat of fire develops.
The invention will be more clearly understood by referring to the examples which follow. The unexpected effects of the fluoropropanes, alone and in any of the aforementioned blends, in suppressing and combating fire, as well as its compatibility with the ozone layer and its relatively low "greenhouse effect", when compared to other fire-combating gases, particularly the perfluoroalkanes and Halon 1211, are shown in the examples.
The fire extinguishing concentration of the fluoropropane compositions compared to several controls, was determined by the ICI Cup Burner method. This method is described in "Measurement of Flame-Extinguishing Concentrations" R. Hirst and K. Booth, Fire Technology, vol. 13(4): 296-315 (1977).
Specifically, an air stream is passed at 40 liters/minute through an outer chimney (8.5 cm. I. D. by 53 cm. tall) from a glass bead distributor at its base. A fuel cup burner (3.1 cm. 0� D. and 2.15 cm. I.D.) is positioned within the chimney at 30.5 cm. below the top edge of the chimney. The fire extinguishing agent is added to the air stream prior to its entry into the glass bead distributor while the air flow rate is maintained at 40 liters/minute for all tests. The air and agent flow rates are measured using calibrated rotameters.
Each test is conducted by adjusting the fuel level in the reservoir to bring the liquid fuel level in the cup burner just even with the ground glass lip on the burner cup. With the air flow rate maintained at 40 liters/minute, the fuel in the cup burner is ignited. The fire extinguishing agent is added in measured increments until the flame is extinguished. the fire extinguishing concentration is determined from the following equation: ##EQU2## where F1 =Agent flow rate
F2 =Air flow rate
Two different fuels are used, heptane and methanol; and the average of several values of agent flow rate at extinguishment is used for the following table.

The ozone depletion potential (ODP) of the fluoropropanes and various blends thereof, compared to various controls, was calculated using the method described in "The Relative Efficiency of a Number of Halocarbon for Destroying Stratospheric Ozone" D. J. Wuebles, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory report UCID-18924, (January 1981) and "Chlorocarbon Emission Scenarios: Potential Impact on Stratospheric Ozone" D. J. Wuebles, Journal Geophysics Research, 88, 1433-1443 (1983).
Basically, the ODP is the ratio of the calculated ozone depletion in the stratosphere resulting from the emission of a particular agent compared to the ODP resulting from the same rate of emission of FC-11 (CFCl3) which is set at 1.0. Ozone depletion is believed to be due to the migration of compounds containing chlorine or bromine through the troposphere into the stratosphere where these compounds are photolyzed by UV radiation into chlorine or bromine atoms. These atoms will destroy the ozone (O3) molecules in a cyclical reaction where molecular oxygen (O2) and [ClO]or [BrO]radicals are formed, those radicals reacting with oxygen atoms formed by UV radiation of O2 to reform chlorine or bromine atoms and oxygen molecules, and the reformed chlorine or bromine atoms then destroying additional ozone, etc., until the radicals are finally scavenged from the stratosphere. It is estimated that one chlorine atom will destroy 10,000 ozone molecules and one bromine atom will destroy 100,000 ozone molecules.
The ozone depletion potential is also discussed in "Ultraviolet Absorption Cross-Sections of Several Brominated Methanes and Ethanes" L. T. Molina, M. J. Molina and F. S. Rowland J. Phys. Chem. 86, 2672-2676 (1982); in bivens et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,810,403; and in "Scientific Assessment of Stratospheric Ozone: 1989" U.N. Environment Programme (21 August 1989).
In the following table, the ozone depletion potentials are presented for the fluoropropanes and the controls.

UPDATED: Two children dead after car crashes into Minnesota pond
MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - Three children were in critical condition on Friday a day after the car they were riding in slid into a near-freezing pond in suburban Minneapolis in a crash that has left two of their siblings dead, authorities and the family's attorney said.
The mother and stepmother of the children was at the wheel with only a learner's permit, which requires a licensed driver to be in the car with her, the Minnesota State Patrol said.

WetEdge colors
RonniemccMarch 11, 2012
I am looking for pics, advise, and/or opinions on the use of WetEdge Pearl Matrix colors. I am leaning towards the New Zealand Tropical color but I would like to see more pics. I was initially only looking at PebbleTec but their base priced colors didn't interest me and the $1500.00 dollar up charge for the "premium" colors didn't either. From what I gather WetEdge is just as good as PebbleTec but costs less so that is why I am now looking at their products.
Thanks for any help,

Designed by Sybold van Ragesteyn, this 50′s modern gas station in Arnhem reminds me of Ed Ruscha's Standard Station, Amarillo Texas. The abrupt perspective lines of Ruscha's painting look so similar to the angles of the facade of Purfina Petrol Station. It's also really fun to look at the good image search for this building. The results include so artworks inspired by the building, along with some historic shots showing it with different color schemes and uses throughout the years.

Good luck! 300 inch bulls can be found easily on any Utah LE unit. 320 is a typical herd bull on the wasatch. Sounds like your close to having multiple years of great elk hunting!
First lite is very quiet. Its all I wear now.
First off, a couple of my thoughts on your original post now that I am home.
The guy who did not draw in the top pool of eleven was probably paired up with someone with less points which is...
What are your goals for the hunt?
Great news!
UH is correct, the MRS in Utah is not very accurate. What questions do you have in regards to Utah?
I have hunted and killed pronghorn in Utah and Wyoming. Both bucks shot with my bow. They are so much fun to hunt! Cant wait till my next tag!
I have shot clear through a bear with 60 lbs. and 100 gr. Montecs. Keep your shots close and good luck!
You have to ask yourself, what are my goals?
My guess is most hunters would be ecstatic with a 320 bull. That is a huge bull and most hunters cannot tell the difference between a true 320 bull...
Sounds like you have had a tremendous four years!
I agree. Send as many as you can and make sure they are full size. Picture quality is very important. Send in pictures of camp, terrain, the hunt itself, not just the kill shots.
Sounds like...
Full time firefighter here as well. Salt lake city. 10 years in April. Love the job and love hunting! Good luck on your hunts!

The Space
In beautiful northwest Spain is the region of Galicia, home to a vast cultural richness and some of the Best, Most Beautiful Beaches in the World, one of which awaits you!
A sunny, ground floor, fully-furnished one-bedroom flat in a condo just 200 meters from surf and sand. This garden-view spot in Playa de Patos, Nigrán -- only 20 minutes from the city center of Vigo-- is a popular destination for young people, families and surfers alike. City bus transportation very accessible, supermarket, bars and nice eateries which offer great local dishes, within blocks. The town center of Panxón is just a 15 to 20 minute walk away. There you'll encounter more stretches of beautiful beaches and a sunny boardwalk with restaurants and shops.
A real treat when staying here is visiting Patos's popular Farmer's Market on Saturdays from 9am to 2pm (across the main street from the apt.), where you'll find the freshest produce, fish, hams, cheeses, breads, you name it! Also at the market grounds overlooking the beach are plant, herbs, clothes and accessories vendors....Definitely a must do.
At Patos Beach enjoy the awe-inspiring view of the Cíes Islands (a protected natural park, one of its beaches having received the distinction of best beach in the world) in the distance, while you dream away on the sand, walk along the shore picking sea glass, go for a swim, take some surfing lessons (children and adults), or straightaway jump into the waves with your surfboard, skim board, boogie board, etc. (board and suit rentals available at the beach). With fine, white sands, a coastline of captivating beauty and moderate waves, the protected Playa de Patos is shaped like an oyster shell and flanked by intricate stone formations. The local area is characterized by summer homes, fishermen's cottages, upscale home enclaves and sightseeing spots of unimaginable beauty and interest. Just minutes away you'll find Monteferro, where you'll watch a world-class sunset, the beaches of Paxón and Playa América, an ancient monastery, a magnificient, centuries-old castle in Baiona. And if you feel like driving out of the country for a day, Portugal is just twenty minutes away! Galicia is also the land of Spain's premier quality white wine, the Albariño, grown in the lower inlets of the region: Las Rias Baixas.
Whether for a family vacation, a writer's getaway, a romantic escape or a fun surfing experience, Playa de Patos and its surroundings are unforgettable places to which you'll want to return again and again....
Guest Access
Here's a list of of items that we provide to our guest/s:
⁃ 22" LCD screen cable TV with high readability USB and DVD drives so that if you wish, you can enjoy your own films and music too!

I only can say a word! Amazing! The llace, the ubication, the beach... Dee is such a nice host always trying to help you with everything! We had great time! Can't wait to go back!!
Dee's flat is on the ground floor of an apartment block right on the seafront of Patos. It is in an amazing location only two minutes walk from the beach, surf schools, bars, restaurants, bakery and mini-market. There is no need to leave Patos, everything you need is right there within walking distance. The beach is lovely, the surf was great and there are some good walks in the area. The flat is well equipped with cooking equipment, towels, driers etc, infact all that you need to enjoy a beach holiday. It doesn't have a terrace so sitting outside to eat was not an option but the beach is so close that popping down there with a beer or two was a nice thing to do. Being in an apartment block meant that there were some disturbances such as music from other apartments, people walking around in the flat above and the area outside seemed to be a popular hangout with youngsters at night time. Outside of school holidays however I expect this wouldn't be a problem.
El apartamento de Dee es fantástico para pasar unos días en Nigrán, muy cómodo y muy cerca de la playa, Dee ha sido una anfitriona genial que nos ha facilitado todo lo que hemos necesitado para hacer la estancia muy agradable, el apartamento es muy amplio para dos personas y tiene todo lo que puedas necesitar en unas vacaciones.
Dee est une hôte très sympathique et nous avons été très bien accueilli. Merci pour la petite attention qui se trouvait dans le frigo. L'appartement est très cosy , calme et bien équipé . Et, confort supplémentaire garage couvert. La région est magnifique. Nombreux bars et restaurants à proximité de l'appartement. Belle plage à 3 minutes à pied de l'appartement. A recommander.
Dee nous a accueillis de manière très chaleureuse. Il a été très facile de se rencontrer pour obtenir les clés de l'appartement. Celui-ci est extremement bien placé, agréable et pratique.
Les sofas, dans le salon, sont petits et durs, mais restent ideal pour des enfants. Le matelas dans la chambre est un peu mou à notre goût.
Nous recommandons ce lieu sans problème.
Really nice apartment, clean, well equipped, It has even got a secure parking for your car in a garage. Dee was a perfect host, always available and really nice person, she even organised an umbrella for the sun for us when we asked If she had one. Her husband runs a really nice Pizzeria in Baiona that is worth a visit as well.
I can just recommend the place, really close to the beach and right between Baiona and Vigo.
P.S. If no Wifi would be a problem for you, don't worry right around the corner there are lots of restaurants that offer free wifi access, so if you need to check something it's less than a minute away.
Lovely appartment, with all you need...nice and quiet, lovely bedroom! What a lovely (email hidden)is is hidden Spain...beautiful sandy beach, great waves!...a coastline of islands and rocky outcrops I never got tired of gazing at, great restaurants, and cafes (we enjoyed El Bodeguito very much) all a few metres from the appartment, amazing locally-owned minisupermarket where you can buy pretty much everything if you wish to self-cater...If you seek somewhere to chill out and replenish, eat out cheaply and well, sun yourself on the beach, surf, read books...Nigran is the perfect spot :)...and if you crave a change of scene, it's very close to many other amazing beaches, towns and cities..a delightful area to explore!! Not a place to come for shopping, but to rediscover what's important....life!
De una de nuestras visitantes: / From one of our guests:
"El apartamento es acogedor y sus propietarios un encanto, siempre preocupados por que estubiesemos a gusto y disfrutaramos durante nuestra estancia en su casa. Gente maravillosa y con un apartamento decorado con mucho gusto, funcional, bien equipado en menaje de cocina y en ropa de hogar y muy próximo a la playa. Sin duda una buena experiencia que nos gustaria repetir. Unos anfitriones insuperables.." (Carmen - Jun 11, 2012)
(Read the rest of our reviews!)
I have been living in Spain since 2010 and wouldn't change it for anything! Life here is beautiful, relaxing and energizing -- especially on the coast! I like the serenity in people and the care that goes into treating a customer. I enjoy the cleanliness in every public space and the region's pride in sharing its beauty. And what I love best is that here we never run out of reasons to party, and why not? Breathtaking landscapes, cultural richness and superb gastronomy, plus world renowned wines produced in our Rías Baixas, are just some of the reasons to celebrate!

Cincinnati Financial (CINF) surprised investors in a positive way, after the provider of property, casualty, personal, and life insurance products to businesses and individuals in the United States upped its quarterly dividend from 39 to 39.5 cents/share.
Kenneth W. Stecher, president and chief executive officer, commented, "The company has consistently increased dividends for 48 years, and the board of directors chose to continue that record for the benefit of our shareholders. This action demonstrates their confidence in our strong capital, liquidity and financial flexibility and in our initiatives to improve earnings performance."
The company last increased its dividend in 2008. If it hadn't raised it in 2009, the Cincinnati, Ohio based insurer would have been booted out of both the dividend aristocrats and dividend achievers indexes.
The company is a hold for me right now, as it has pretty disappointing short-term EPS prospects. Its insurance premiums are under pressure on increased competition. It might not be able to cover its dividend payment by a factor of 2 until 2010 or 2011.
Half of the company's investment portfolio was allocated to equities in 2007. The losses in the stock markets and an initiative to reduce equity exposure lead to a decrease in the equity exposure to 33% in 2008.
Three other companies announced dividend hikes over the past week as well.
Getty Realty Corp. (GTY), which engages in the ownership and leasing of retail motor fuel and convenience store properties, and petroleum distribution terminals, increased its quarterly dividend from 47 to 47.50 cents per share. This dividend achiever currently yields 8.50%.
ITC Holdings Corp. (ITC), which invests in the electricity transmission grid to improve electric reliability, improve access to markets, and lower the overall cost of delivered energy, increased its quarterly dividend by 4.90% to 32 cents per share. This is the fourth consecutive dividend increase for ITC Holdings Corp. since the company went public in 2005. The stock currently yields 2.60%.
Nordson Corporation (NDSN), which manufactures equipment used for precision dispensing, testing and inspection, and surface preparation and curing., increased its quarterly dividend by 4.10% to 19 cents per share. This represents the 46th consecutive year of annual dividend increases for this dividend achiever. The stock currently yields 1.50%.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 439 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MTR2015 Most Friendly Starwood property!! As Gold Starwood member, my travels have brought me to many Starwood Hotels, in US, Europe and Caribean, by far Westin Cape Coral is the most freidnly property I've stayed at.... whether it was during business meeting, walking halls, dining, all employees were happy, smiling and asking if I needed anything. This is what I call exceptional service!!!! As special thanks to Anne Marie ( front desk, for going out of her way ensuring my stay was perfect. Delicious cusineWay to go Westin Cape Coral!!! March 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sanibel200 After Sanibel Facilities nice but a little tired in places Young porter was not very willing to help with the luggage- moaned about the weigh go the bags We pointed out that the safe was not working He promised to get maintenance I felt nothing would happen And that's exactly what happened NOTHING ! One of the pillow was soiled and should have been changed Toiletries were not replaced on second day. Security bolt on one of the doors was not working Hotel is nice with a great position, but to be a great hotel one has to give exceptional service, and attention to EVERY DETAIL. Unfortunately, during our visit , that service level was lacking February 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dolly75 This hotel is more than you could ever ask for. The guys at the front door were exceptional, very friendly, and helpful both Grant and Michael. Food was fantastic and we're already planning for our trip next year only change we are making is to stay longer. This was a 4 generation trip and everyone loved every minute of it. Pools were immaculate and staff throughout the property were attentive to all our requests. March 7, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by MiamiNena Ran out of money When you're coming from outside it feels like a grand resort. The downstairs lobby area continues to be nice. When you go up to the rooms, however, you get out in a open hallway that looks like you're about to enter a cheap motel room. Not at all up to Westin Resorts standards. You can't help but feel that the developer ran out of money during the contructions and just left that there. The room is average. No heavenly comfort. The bathroom floor was akwards and sticky. There was no glass doors in the shower, just an old curtain in the small tub. Would never go back. Staff at the restaurant downstairs is pretty friendly tho. February 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Borus41 The ultimate vacation We discovered the Westin in Cape Coral a couple of yrs ago, stayed for 3 nights and we liked it so much that we decided to come back again for 9 nights..it was one of the nicest vacations we had in a while, the hotel, grounds & marina are absolutely beautiful ,the rooms are clean , spacious & Beautîfully designed , ours was overlooking the Golf of Mexico- stunning sun rise & sun sets! The staff - super friendly & knowledgeable everywhere ..this was the ultimate vacation for us - can't wait to come back again.. Highly recommend it! December 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KarenCT Very Relaxing and Beautiful Had a wonderful Christmas week at the Westin Cape Coral. As Fate would have it, the sun was shining brightly on Christmas Day and the place was festive, full of people - dressed up, dressed down. It was just lovely. Amenities are amazing. Bike rentals, ferries to the beach (including dolphin watching), well furnished gym, free wifi, pet friendly, - really there was no reason to leave the property. Top line appliances in the suite, including full washer and dryer. I had stayed previously in a 2 Queen room - advice? go for the suites. A completely different experience. Spent many a beautiful sunrise on the lanai. thank you. December 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Outerspace Great place to experience exceptional service We're very grateful for the exceptional reception we experienced at this facility. The platinum upgrade we received really exceeded our expectations. We had a two bedroom on the 17th floor with spectacular ocean view and would like to thank the service personnel for making our stay so romantic. We were out here for a romantic experience and we perfectly experienced that. The service is perfect, the atmosphere is very welcoming and the breakfast experience is awesome. This resort is perfect place to be and we are definitely coming back to this resort for a lengthy stay next year. December 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Corporate Great Hitel Resort We travel extensively and this was a. First rate experience not simply the incredible room but the location, the service, the setting, and the views. Well recommended fir famines and those wishing to get away fir a while. December 29, 2014

It Took Too Long To Get A Herman Cain
CHURCHVILLE, VA–Black conservative Lloyd Marcus wrote recently that, when he thinks of Herman Cain, he envisions him fleeing a white slave owner, backed by black overseers, and a pack of howling dogs–all trying to bring Herman down. ("Herman Cain: runaway slave," www.LloydMarcus.com; October 20.)
I see a far different vision: I see a strong black family with a hard-working chauffeur father who also worked a night job, and an equally strong mother, the pair of whom collaborated in pulling their son up toward his fullest potential in a free society. What grieves me most deeply is that it's taking so long for the promise of the black family in America to be fulfilled.
I blame the welfare system that began many decades ago for shattering the strong black families that existed at the end of the Depression. The free black families had built strong communities based on pride in even the low-level work they were allowed to do, and the collective strength of their close-knit society.
In the 60's, rather than encourage blacks to become newly-eligible union plumbers or members of the United Auto Workers, we put them on welfare. We wanted to "help" the poor blacks without letting them get the "good" jobs, so we started writing checks. Then the numbers on the checks started to reach intimidating totals, as more and more of the families succumbed to the lure of the free money and the degradation that accompanies it.
Then we decided that any black family that had a father couldn't get the welfare. The "man in the house" rule was adopted–and the loud voice of the free money persuaded large numbers of black mothers to reject the stable two-parent family model. This has–correctly–been the lament of Bill Cosby for decades, and it has caused his alienation from his own community.
In 1996, under Clinton and Newt Gingrich the Welfare Reform Act made a dramatic start in weaning the people from welfare and giving them a change to rise from poverty. Before the reform only 10 percent of the recipients were working. That number had risen to 32 percent by 2009. But we still have a long way to go to break the chain of dependency.
Kids are being raised by single women and grandmothers who lack the parenting power of a father/mother pair. They certainly lack the physical strength to cope with big and aggressive teen boys who lack any respect for law or morals. This is the secret that the black activist "leaders' dare not voice to their own people. Instead they blame the number of black kids in prison on "racial bias," rather than demonstrated behavior.
Too often kids who make good grades and have dreams of a productive future are ridiculed for "acting white." And this has been repeatedly thrown at Herman Cain
as he climbs the power ladder. I heard a black commentator on Fox loudly denouncing him as an "Oreo."
How much sooner would a Herman Cain have come onto our biggest stage if the black families had not been shattered by the welfare checks? How many promising black kids would have emerged how many years sooner if they had been striving to rise? How much more approving support would the black community have offered to the kids who were succeeding in American society?
Thank God for Herman Cain.
