New Lorraine owner to begin destruction of the building’s character and possibly sound properties.

According to an interview from Hoopeston’s Just The Facts the new owner of the Lorraine Theater plans on either removing or covering the acoustic boards in the balcony with drapes.

“Corkboard in the balcony has been ravaged by water over time. New plans call for gold fabric and dark green walls”

So basically he wants the theater to look like a mall cineplex; instead of the unique 1930s Art Deco patterns currently on the panels. The panels also play a crucial part in how great the theater sounds. Which is why a previous owner (who was very serious about how movies sounded) never replaced, covered or painted the panels. I have also heard that they will no longer be paying for HPS tuning and certification.

def: Pay-option mortgages allowed borrowers to pay only a fraction of interest and principal owed each month, allowing the loan balance to increase.

What kind of dumb mofo signs up for one of these types of loans? I had never heard of one until today. I had heard of interest only loans which are bad enough but this one just takes the cake as one of stupidest things I have ever heard of.

If you lose your house because you signed up for one of these and can now not find financing to replace the loan it is all your fault you stupid idiot!

While I am on this subject: I am not sure I understand how any bank is at fault for anyone losing their house. If you signed the paper work and now can not afford the loan who’s fault is that? Never underestimate how stupid some people can be. You should not buy a house that costs over 8 (probably even lower) times your gross annual household income - duh! No matter what the banker says it should just be common sense.

If you need to connect to the console and you have the newest RDP client you need to use /admin instead of /console.

What I don’t get is that MS didn’t even keep the old switch. Just dumped it and you get no warning. It just doesn’t do anything.

Interesting read - I really like the image stabilization clips.

Recently I have seen several partition drives to keep some Illinois state parks open. In my opinion these petitions are not aiming high enough.

What people should be signing is a petition vowing that they will vote against every incumbent in every Illinois state election until those jokers in Springfield stop spending money like drunken sailors. They also need to change the Illinois state constitution so we can impeach the current governor. So we can stop his reign of money for votes by giving away the bank and redirecting the Illinois coffers to Chicago.

My windows mobile device started locking up a month ago of so. I have been waiting for the htc touch pro to come out for ATT but so far no dice. After playing with the latest iPhone/ipod touch software on a touch for a couple weeks the system began to grow on me. But I really wanted email when I was not on wifi which would require the cell connectivity of an iPhone. I decided that if the ATT store in savoy had one in stock I would get one. They did and I did. So far I am pretty happy with it. The thing I miss from the windows mobile device is voice command. I hope apple adds it or a nice app is created.

I know I have been a bad poster lately. Anyway. I have been looking forward to hearing about AT&T getting the new HTC Touch Pro. There was leaked photos of a supposedly AT&T branded phone on Engadget. I hope to god it really isn’t because they took the 5th row of keys which HTC put as the number row and turned them into a symbol row. The whole point of the 5th row (most sliders have 4) was to make the keyboard more like desktop qwerty kb. Leave it up to AT&T to take a good phone and screw it up.
