During the evening on July 19th, about 10PM, the room above us, room 721 ?, had many people in it and a party. We could hear the party through the small air supply vent above the bed. Try it. Put 10 people in 721 with music, have one or two persons in 621, you will easily hear the party. Bad engineering design in the duct work system is my guess. I am a retired audio engineer. We mentioned this to staff during checkout. They said no one has mentioned anything like that before. Maybe cause the hotel is only two months open.
But I must say that breakfast was GREAT each day. Staff was great. Room was clean. Parking was easy.

Just a few people trying to buy the stock on the cheap. Bloomberg reported yesterday that the CEO was trying to buy the pension fund's stake in the company to increase his ownership. Do you think he would be doing this purchase if he didn't feel confident in the increase of the stock price?
Thanks for your input. That was where I was leaning on the subject, but they used some strong wording. I plan to be a holder for many years to come, but will trade around core position since they only give the div once a year and I see a 1 time interest payment as well but smaller payment.
What is alarming is the Motley Fool article. These guys are carefull, but say this stock is a good target for shorting.

"Are you there, Satan? It's me, Madison," declares the whip-tongued 13-year-old narrator of Damned, Chuck Palahniuk's subversive new work of fiction.
The daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire, Madison is abandoned at her Swiss boarding school over Christmas, while her parents are off touting their new projects and adopting more orphans. She dies over the holiday of a marijuana overdose—and the next thing she knows, she's in Hell. Madison shares her cell with a motley crew of young sinners that is almost too good to be true: a cheerleader, a jock, a nerd, and a punk rocker, united by fate to form the six-feet-under version of everyone's favorite detention movie.
Madison and her pals trek across the Dandruff Desert and climb the treacherous Mountain of Toenail Clippings to confront Satan in his citadel. All the popcorn balls and wax lips that serve as the currency of Hell won't buy them off.
This is the afterlife as only Chuck Palahniuk could imagine it: a twisted inferno where The English Patient plays on endless repeat, roaming demons devour sinners limb by limb, and the damned interrupt your dinner from their sweltering call center to hardsell you Hell. He makes eternal torment, well, simply divine.
©2011 Chuck Palahniuk (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"The story scoots along like any great adventure story, as she takes on Hitler and Catherine de Medici, and it's a delight seeing Madison find her place in life, even if it's in death." (Booklist)
"Palahniuk is one of the freshest, most intriguing voices to appear in a long time. He rearranges Vonnegut's sly humor, DeLillo's mordant social analysis, and Pynchon's antic surrealism (or is it R. Crumb's?) into a gleaming puzzle palace all his own." (Newsday)
"Just not what I was hoping for..."
It starts out great. But as the story progresses, it feels more and more rushed. The last quarter of the book I could almost hear the editor banging on the door demanding the final draft.
With the one exception of Megan meeting Satan for the second time, its very predictable. Almost like a short story that was expanded to make a book. If you are looking for anoher Haunted or Fight Club, this is not going to get it.
"Damned Boring."
I usually go head over heels for C.P.'s work. I have read almost everything he has writtin and adored Rant and Haunted...flipped over Lullaby and really enjoyed Diary.
This reads as though it was written by an inexperienced writed trying to sound like Palahniuk.
I didn't feel any connection to the characters, the story built to an anticlimax that left me feeling really flat. It actually seemed more like a book written for teenagers or Y/A.
An hour close to the end I couldn't have cared less but I kept slogging along until, nothing happened, and then, to quote Chuck out of Pygmy, (another fav) nothing kept happening.
If hell is as boring as C.P. invisions...I'd rather go to heaven.
On the other hand I would listen to the narrator. She did a good job with what she was given.
"I should have known"
I really should have know from the description that this would not be good. This was definately a major mistake. The characters were not at all likeable. The story was just plain stupid.
I stopped after a couple of chapters. Don't know what I was thinking.
I disliked the characters so much I probably am not giving the reader a fair shot.
There was nothing redeeming about this book
"the more Palahniuk writes the less I like him"
I love early Chuck Palahniuk but the later stuff seems to be written to shock the reader rather than to make them think.
High School teacher and audiophile...I listen to no fewer than four books a week. It is my escape. I listen for information, entertainment and sometimes just brain candy, so my audio library is eclectic. I offer no profound literary analysis, but I can tell you if a book is fun to listen to!
"Great Story..."
As with all Palahniuk creations, the concept is original and twisted. The "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret" format is humorous enough, but add to that the eventual takeover of hell by a chubby 13 year old who collects trophy pieces from history's most notorious and you have a seriously funny book. The narrator, however, made me re-think listening to the audio. I can understand the choice...her voice has the annoying tonal quality that one might find in a precocious early adolescent, but is just not pleasant to listen to. Though far from monotone, there is still a droning quality to the narration, on par with listening to a wasp trying to escape through the glass of your bedroom window all night long....
"Worst book since I joined in 2005"
I have never wanted a refund on a book in the past, even if I didn't enjoy it. Some things aren't my cup of tea. I wasn't offended or disgusted by this book but it was just plain stupid and an absolute waste of time. I can deal with losing my credit, but I at least want the 8 hours of my life back that I wasted.
"Not as good as Fight Club"
The narration is alright and the story is a bit comical. The story of maddie spencer and a good one.
"Had shimmers of a good story"
But they were all grimy much like the hell in which Madison resides. I felt like I was on a roller coaster of 'this is getting good' verses 'oh, letdown'.
Narration was good, but it'll be a while before I pick up another Palahniuk.
The book had Chuck's typical descriptive style where it was easy to imagine the narrative. This book left me wanting to learn more about the world he created and I found myself rooting for the protagonist.
A busy lady, just tryin' to fit her reading in where she can!
"Different than I pictured, but better."
The title would leave you to believe this is a very serious and sinister book ; but honestly it is a very funny story about a 13 year old girl's journey of self discovery. While the landscape of hell is disgusting, the friends Madison makes are funny and help her find out how she really died.
There is no doubt Chuck Palahniuk is a specific kind of author, and his books wont be for everyone, but I think this book is worth a try.

The prevalence of childhood hypertension is increasing.1, 2 Studies that apply the 95th percentile definition and repeat measurements on three separate visits, report a pediatric hypertension prevalence of approximately 3.5%3, 4, and among obese children and adolescents the prevalence of both hypertension and prehypertension is even greater. The recently documented increase in hypertension among the young is due largely to the childhood obesity epidemic and possibly other secular changes in lifestyles. These publications and others confirm that hypertension is a prevalent child health condition, especially among overweight and obese children. A consistent positive association between body size and blood pressure level has been observed throughout childhood and adulthood. The report in this issue by Tu et al5 add additional insights on the impact of excess adiposity on blood pressure levels in childhood.
To determine if the relationship, in childhood, of blood pressure with body fat, or relative adiposity, is linear as opposed to there being a threshold effect of adiposity, these investigators analyzed data from a cohort of healthy children who had been recruited from Indianapolis schools and examined longitudinally. Body mass index (BMI) percentile, which adjusts for age and sex in children, was used to quantify relative adiposity; and blood pressure percentile, which adjusts for age, sex, and height, was used to quantify relative blood pressure level. Systolic or diastolic blood pressure ≥90th percentile was the cut-point for high blood pressure.6 They found, as depicted in figure 2 of their report, that the prevalence of high blood pressure in the child cohort was low and approximately the same across BMI percentiles up to the 85th percentile for BMI. Once the 85th BMI percentile was exceeded there was a marked increase in the prevalence of high blood pressure. In children, a BMI percentile from 85th to 95th defines "overweight", and ≥95th BMI percentile defines "obese." Currently the term overweight in children has been used only to designate a higher risk for developing obesity. The data by Tu et al clearly demonstrate a marked increase in high BP among children when BMI reaches the overweight range. The implication is that childhood overweight may not be benign but could herald more significant problems.
The data presented by Tu and colleagues in this issue (Figure 2) are remarkably similar to a previous publication on a cohort of children in Iowa examined prospectively from 1971 to 1981 in the Muscatine Study. Lauer and Clark analyzed the childhood data to determine what parameters were leading determinents of high blood pressure (≥90th percentile) in young adulthood. They found that high blood pressure by age 20 to 30 years was significantly associated with blood pressure in childhood; but the strongest childhood predictor of high blood pressure in young adulthood was relative adiposity, which these investigators quantified by the Quetelet index (Weight in Kg/Height in meters3). The figure is reproduced from the Lauer and Clark publication in 1989.7 The regression curves depict the risk for high blood pressure in young adulthood from childhood blood pressure percentiles (dashed and dotted lines) and from childhood Quetelet index percentile (solid line). In both males and females, childhood blood pressure percentile confers an increasing risk for adult high blood pressure. The most striking part of the figure is the sharp upward shift in the curve for Quetelet index that occurs at approximately the 85th percentile. The 1989 Lauer and Clark publication describe a risk for future high blood pressure that rises over four-fold when relative adiposity in childhood (Quetelet index) exceeds the 85th percentile. The publication by Tu et al in this issue, based on data obtained decades later than the Muscatine study, demonstrates a similar four-fold increase in risk for high blood pressure when BMI during childhood exceeds the 85th percentile; but the risk for high blood pressure is in childhood, not later in adulthood. The findings are the same, but results reported by Tu and colleagues tell us that obesity associated morbidities commonly observed in adults are present in childhood and the risk increases markedly as children become overweight.
It is currently estimated that the prevalence of obesity among US children from 2 to 19 years of age is 16.3%. When overweight is added, the percent of US children with BMI ≥85th percentile increases to 31.9%.8 The reality of the childhood obesity epidemic has now gained public attention with emerging efforts underway to modify health related behaviors that contribute to onset and progression of childhood obesity. Less attention has been given to the "overweight" category of excess adiposity, other than designating overweight a risk for becoming obese. The publication by Tu and colleagues, as well as the older publication by Lauer and Clark provide evidence that the overweight in childhood should be recognized as a heightened risk condition with more emphasis on interventions directed at lowering BMI below the 85th percentile in overweight children.
The strong association between high blood pressure and obesity in childhood raises concern about premature onset of chronic disease in early adulthood. In 2004, the Fourth Report on the Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents6 recommended that the evaluation of children with confirmed hypertension include evaluation for associated risk factors and target organ damage as well as basic evaluation for underlying causes of the hypertension. Following that publication in 2004, reports from cross-sectional studies on children with high blood pressure confirm that target organ damage is detectable in the young. Left ventricular mass ≥95th percentile, quantified by echocardiography, is detectable in a substantial portion of children with primary hypertension.9 Compared to normotensive children, a measurable increase in carotid intima-media thickness has been reported in children with hypertension compared to those with normal blood pressure.10 Increased arterial stiffness, or loss of elasticity, a change generally associated with aging, has been detected in pediatric patients with high blood pressure as well as obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia.11 Even subtle cognitive changes, in areas of executive function, are now described in children with hypertension.12 Based on these findings, primarily described in adolescents, high blood pressure in the young is more than risk for future target organ damage. The emerging evidence indicates that target organ damage is already underway in a portion of children with high blood pressure.
Most, but not all, children and adolescents with primary hypertension have associated obesity or overweight. This raises the question as to whether or not the percentiles method for defining high blood pressure should be based on blood pressure data obtained from cohorts that include all children or be restricted to only normal weight children. Blood pressure percentiles for children and adolescents with BMI <85th percentile have been published13 and the blood pressure levels, adjusted for sex, age, and height, for the 90th and 95th percentiles are somewhat lower than reference values in the Fourth Report.
Pediatric primary care clinicians have the major burden in prevention and early detection of excess adiposity as well as other risk factors for chronic health issues in individual children, but they should not have the sole responsibility in solving the problem of childhood obesity. Although there is now public awareness about childhood obesity, there are substantial needs in delivery of childhood health care, public health programs and health policies to support and reinforce prevention and early intervention on childhood obesity, high blood pressure and other co-morbidities associated with excess adiposity.

I am using dotted style border in my box like
.box {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
border: dotted 1px #f00;
float: left;
I want to the increase the space between each dot of the border.
You cannot do it with pure CSS - the CSS3 spec even has a specific quote about this:
You can, however, use either a border-image or a background image that does the trick.
Here's a trick I've used on a recent project to achieve nearly anything I want with horizontal borders. I use
But if you want to take control of the border and, for example increase, the space between dots, you may try something like this:
And in the following, you create your border (here's an example with dots)
This also means that you can add text-shadow to the dots, gradients etc. Anything you want...
Well, it works really great for horizontal borders. If you need vertical ones, you may specify a class for another hr and use the CSS3
This trick works for both horizontal and vertical borders:
You can adjust the size with background-size and the proportion with the linear-gradient percentages. In this example I have a dotted line of 1px dots and 2px spacing. This way you can have multiple dotted borders too using multiple backgrounds.
Here is an example:
See the MDC docs for the available values for
Apart from those choices, there is no way to influence the standard border's style.
If the possibilities there are not to your liking, you could use CSS3's
Short answer: You can't.
You will have to use
IF you're only targeting modern browsers, AND you can have your border on a separate element from your content, then you can use the CSS scale transform to get a larger dot or dash:
It takes a lot of positional tweaking to get it to line up, but it works. By changing the thickness of the border, the starting size and the scale factor, you can get to just about thickness-length ratio you want. Only thing you can't touch is dash-to-gap ratio.
So many people are say "You can't". Yes you can. It's true that there is not a css rule to control the gutter space between the dashes but css has other abilities. Don't be so quick to say that a thing can not be done.
Basically the border-top height (5px in this case) is the rule that determines the gutter "width". OIf course you would need to adjust the colors to match your needs. This also is a small example for a horizontal line, use left and right to make the vertical line.
This is a really old question but it has a high ranking in Google so I'm going to throw in my method which could work depending on your needs.
In my case, I wanted a thick dashed border that had a minimal break in between dashes. I used a CSS pattern generator (like this one: http://www.patternify.com/) to create a 10px wide by 1px tall pattern. 9px of that is solid dash color, 1px is white.
In my CSS, I included that pattern as the background image, and then scaled it up by using the background-size attribute. I ended up with a 20px by 2px repeated dash, 18px of that being solid line and 2px white. You could scale it up even more for a really thick dashed line.
The nice thing is since the image is encoded as data you don't have the additional outside HTTP request, so there's no performance burden. I stored my image as a SASS variable so I could reuse it in my site.
AFAIK there isn't a way to do this. You could use a dashed border or perhaps increase the width of the border a bit, but just getting more spaced out dots is impossible with CSS.
You could create a canvas (via javascript) and draw a dotted line within. Within the canvas you can control how long the dash and the space in between shall be.

Lancaster County is among 28 counties in the Palmetto State that are in the first stage of a drought.
Lancaster County Animal Shelter, 118 Kennell Lane, is a noisy, sometimes smelly but a fun place to spend quality time.
Staff and volunteers devote their undivided attention to a diverse group of animals ranging from mostly dogs to cats, horses and sometimes even chickens.
The two full time employees, Shandy Everall, shelter director, and Ronnie Roberts, shelter assistant, work seven days a week, but it's the behind-the-scene volunteers who make the difference.
The Lancaster County swim team Sharks captured a 290-98 win over the Kershaw Stingrays on Monday, June 22.
Lancaster was paced by Tamra Tipton, Makenzy Mills, Simon Wright, Samuel Page and Lauren Spencer who each posted four firsts in the meet.
The S.C. General Assembly passed Act 70 which went into effect June 8 and prohibits council governments from adding to a meeting agenda once it is officially posted 24 hours prior to the meeting time.
Act 70 relates to provisions in the S.C. Freedom of Information Act concerning required notice for public meetings and agendas for scheduled and special meetings. Government bodies must provide the time and manner for posting meeting agendas and notices, specify meeting contents and provide for the manner in which these agendas subsequently may be amended.
The Lancaster Super Speedway caps the June schedule with six divisions of racing Saturday, June 27.
The LSS card is highlighted by the return of the SECA Crate Late Model Division, Faith Funderburke Realty Super Stock, Deal 1 Auto Sales SECA Crate Sportsman, Cauthen Motors Renegades, U.S. Bonding Vintage and M&M Garage Extreme.
Action last week, June 20, provided some of the best racing of the season as some tempers were flaring as well.
What exactly am I eating?
That's the question I pondered as I took a big bite from a strangely adorned slice of pizza one morning on my way to work.

The Lancaster Dixie Boys 14 all-stars are 1-1 in the district baseball tournament at the Rodman Complex in Chester County.
The Lancaster stars returned to Rodman to face Kershaw County on Tuesday, June 30 at 6 p.m.
The Lancaster County Parks and Recreation swim team posted a 329-148 win over host Camden on Saturday, June 20.
The LCST Sharks had a solid effort, which was led by Amelia Wright, Makenzy Mills, Simon Wright, Taylor Teague, Nathan Reid and Gracie Scott who had four wins each.
Clover edged Lancaster, 6-5 to drop the Post 31 record to 4-5 on the season on Monday, June 22.
Lancaster, down 6-0 late, rallied only to fall short in the narrow League V baseball loss.
Lancaster Post 31 swept a League V doubleheader from Rock Hill Post 34 at Eggleton Field on Thursday, June 25.
Lancaster won the opener, 2-1 and completed the sweep with a 10-7 win in game two.
