Mandeville Mayor Eddie Price's now-infamous run-in with Causeway police in April was not the first time he received special treatment from local law enforcement after having too much to drink.
Sometime in late 2006, Price swerved his city-owned Ford Expedition into the path of a police car on a narrow street just off Monroe Street in old Mandeville, said Mandeville Police Chief Tom Buell and one of the officers involved in the incident.
The mayor was driving erratically and seemed intoxicated, according to the officer, who asked not to be identified. But instead of administering a field sobriety test, the officer who pulled him over called his supervisor, he said.
The two officers offered to give Price a ride home, then obliged his request to be taken to City Hall, Buell and the officer said. One officer got behind the wheel of Price's SUV while the mayor, who smelled of alcohol, rode shotgun, the unidentified officer said.
A few hours later, a worker at the Shell station on North Causeway Boulevard dialed the police: Price was there pumping gas, and appeared to be in no condition to drive, said the police chief and the unidentified officer. By the time the same pair of officers arrived at the scene, determined not to let the mayor off easy this time, he was already gone, said Buell and the officer.
Buell's disclosure comes a day after Causeway Police Chief Felix Loicano resigned and two Causeway police officers were fired for their lenient handling of Price, who crashed through a tollbooth barrier just before midnight on April 22 and admitted to officers he had been drinking. A third Causeway officer, Chad Dorsett, resigned.
Buell said his officers did not call him that night and that he did not find out about the 2006 incident until after the Causeway tollbooth run-in made news almost two months ago.
"Everyone ought to be treated the same," Buell said, though he said he understands why the officers acted the way they did. In Mandeville, the police chief is appointed by the mayor with the approval of the City Council, but his employment is subject to the same civil service rules that govern the hiring and firing of police officers.
"You get into the issue of, hey, he's your boss. You can't fault them, but the public probably will. Why should the mayor get that privilege when John Q. Citizen driving down Monroe Street would have gone to jail?" Buell said.
Price did not respond to a telephone message seeking comment.
Causeway cops lose jobs
The Mandeville officers knew immediately that they were dealing with the mayor, who sits atop a hierarchy that includes all City Hall and Police Department employees.
Just after midnight on April 23, Causeway officers Chris Dupont and Dorsett did not recognize Price right away but discovered his identity within minutes of stopping him at the first crossover on the bridge.
After destroying a well-lit tollbooth arm, Price disobeyed toll takers' instructions to pull over, proceeding onto the bridge with his headlights off. Videotapes from the officers' cars show an apparently disoriented Price repeatedly asking what he did wrong and begging several times for a ride home.
Dupont and Dorsett initially treated the stop as a "98," or DWI, but soon changed their tune, conferring on a cell phone with superiors before letting Price go home with his son-in-law without requiring him to take a sobriety test.
He did not receive a ticket for careless driving until two weeks later, after the Metropolitan Crime Commission inquired about what happened.
An independent investigation requested by the Causeway Commission recommended that Loicano resign and three police officers, including Dupont and Dorsett, be fired. The third officer was Lt. Michael Kast, who took a phone call from Dupont before ordering Dupont to call Loicano.
The report concluded that Loicano, who spoke with Dupont twice that night, did not try to influence the actions of the officers on the ground. Nor did the report find evidence that Price asked for special treatment, despite his plea to the officers not to "make this a big deal."
The report exonerated Causeway General Manager Robert Lambert, but it faulted Loicano for conducting an internal inquiry that was aimed more at saving his own and other high-ranking officers' reputations than getting to the truth of what happened that night.
'Already got his break'
Price's encounter with the two officers off Monroe Street in 2006 was his second brush with the law that same night. Earlier, a different officer observed him in the City Hall parking lot and thought he appeared too drunk to drive, Buell and the unidentified officer both recounted.
The officer offered to take him home, but the mayor said he would stay put at City Hall for a while, they said. A few hours later, he was behind the wheel, veering toward the other officer before being stopped and deposited back at City Hall, and he then left the building in his SUV once again, ending up at the Shell station, they said.
The officer involved in the incident, who did not want to be identified because he feared losing his job, said he and his partner searched for Price along the North Causeway service road, near the Shell station and close to Price's house, but never found him.
The officer said he was planning to send Price to jail the second time around because the mayor "already got his break."
"If we arrested him, it would not have happened at first, but they would have found something else to make my life miserable," the officer said, describing the possible repercussions at the Police Department if he had booked Price with DWI.
Buell said he does not plan to conduct an investigation into the 2006 incident because it was too long ago and a police report was never filed.
He noted that officers sometimes give breaks to other drivers who appear to be impaired, such as teenagers with no prior record, or occasionally will let people off when the department is short-handed.
Department under review
The Mandeville Police Department is undergoing an outside review, financed by the Metropolitan Crime Commission, after a scandal involving a charity controlled by Buell as well as allegations that Price tried to influence police officers in the battery case of SpeeDee Oil Change co-founder Gary Copp.
An ongoing overhaul of department policies will include making sure that officers know their jobs will not be in jeopardy if they have to arrest the mayor or even the police chief, Buell said.
"I want them to feel that they're safe, whether it's the mayor or honestly whether it's me, even though I don't drink," Buell said.
Rafael Goyeneche, president of the Metropolitan Crime Commission, called for investigations by the City Council and an outside law enforcement agency such as the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office.
"The thing is, not only is this irresponsible conduct by the mayor, it's putting the public at risk," Goyeneche said, noting that Price was driving a city-owned vehicle.
"He's out there in an SUV. Think of the liability of the city of Mandeville. The mayor gets in accident, damages property, God forbid hurts or kills somebody. The city of Mandeville is on the hook from a liability standpoint."

Sigma SD1 Merrill Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments
29 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
"It's this poor performance in noise that recalls the Nikon D3x. That was a camera priced at a ridiculous amount of money but the ISO performance was poor".
I don't agree with that statement. The high ISO performance of the D3x is almost as good as the D3/D700 and they are all very good. D3/D700 were the high ISO kings until D3s appeared.
Sigma is excellent at confusing things regarding pixel count. Why not admit that the SD1 can be compared to a 15-16 MP camera in output size which is important if you want to make large prints or crop a lot.
Why, after noting how poor the high ISO performance is, would you take almost all of the sample images at ISO 800?
Most images at iso 800, that's foul play! Please retake the outdoors images at iso 100 to see what's this camera really able to produce.
"Sigma is excellent at confusing things regarding pixel count. Why not admit that the SD1 can be compared to a 15-16 MP camera in output size which is important if you want to make large prints or crop a lot."
Spreading ignorance like this doesn't make you sound smart.
I can't open the samples.
Preview is missing, once using a link the error "403 - Forbidden" appears.
What going on with that issue?
As I already told, it's pure shit. WTF?! Why only high ISO images? Where is studio, portrait images?
Are the photos really 46Mb? That seems small for a sensor that size. Tongue and cheek aside, Mb != MB != MiB,
Mb = Megabit, or 1,000,000 bits
MB = Megabyte or 1,000,000 bytes (MacOSX uses this as of 10.5 I think)
MiB = Mebibyte or 1,048,576 bytes (used by Microsoft OSes as MB)
So at 46Mb you are saying the files are only 5.75 MB. Much smaller than my K-7!
kind of disappointed of this review. Its directly similar to the review made by you guys on the Sigma Sd1. a year ago. I mean whats the point? Its exactly the same camera… why do it? :3
you can google photographyblog sd1 review and read word for word its almost the same.
Sigma did the honourable thing and awarded early adopters (buyers of the original SD1) with vouchers for lenses - you should mention this, since this is very uncommon.
Very little needs fixing on this camera. A higher res & tiltable screen with liveview - what more could you possibly want? Other than FX of course ;-)
Take a look at our original SD1 review for more sample images:
As Joshua pointed out, they're exactly the same camera apart from the name change and the massive price difference…
Still want a micro four thirds sigma camera. They will never make one which is a shame. Imagine the Olympus 75 f1.8 matched with a foveron sensor! I would love a sigma but can't justify buying all new glass.
Is there any chance you can publish some black & white photos straight from the camera. I am desperate to know how it preforms doing HCB&W and everything i find online has been too processed. The grainy look at high ISO, must look great in B&W
Did they use the last Firmware?
This SD1m and its compact sisters DP1m/DP2m, which share the same sensor, offer the best low ISO of all current cameras, medium format aside. This review showing ISO800 only is not doing any justice to Foveon sensor.
However, go to any other review which will have low iso samples and prepare to be shocked by the overwhelming level of detail. Not even D800e can touch the pixel-level detail.
Sure, many limitations, but what it can do it does extremely well. If low iso is your main field, this is an absolute bargain for its new price.
Christ sake guys.
SD1M is base ISO camera (ok, somewhat usable at ISO 200). Its incredibly hard camera to use properly. Yes it has amazing output, but only at base ISO and only if you really know what you are doing.
I wouldnt give this camera recommanded. Only if you know how to shoot at base ISO and you are willing to do it all the time. You are willing to really learn that camera and learn how to post-process best with it. Which is hard, trust me. And most people wont be committed enough to do it.
I would give it recommanded for hardcore landscape and studio shooters (and maybe macro). But this camera is for real pros, not guys that buy D4 and just count on fact that camera has enough user error correction headroom. Cause Sigma SD1M really doesnt have any error correction headroom.
Its amazing camera, but very limited and very difficult.
I think it would make a great second camera, for those moments when you can take your time. But bit too expensive for that!
Dan, I use my SD10 for B&W and the grain is fantastic. I use DCRAW to extract the three greyscale layers without any processing then combine together any way you like to get great detail and grain with less noise than a single layer.
It would be good idea to post some samples shot on lower iso , it is really hard to expect the best from iso 800.
You review was very informative and i can agree that it is worth buying, however the price should be lower since Sigma's brand is not so well known.
As a long time user of Sigma cameras and the Foveon technology i wouldn't use any other camera. Yes it's not great at the higher iso work but for 100/200 iso Landscape work it is fantastic.
I feel it's a much camera than it gets credit for when used correctly.
The X3F files hold great detail and the files can be printed very large without loss of detail.
I hope that the new range of Sigma lenses will help show off the capabilities of the sensor even more than before.
I have some examples of images mostly taken with the older SD9, SD14, and SD15 if anyone would like to take a peep.
My first Sigma was an SD9, and I've used all their Foveon sensored cameras, including the SD1 Merrill. Since practically all my shots are taken in daylight, I shoot mostly at ISO 100 and 200, and very rarely at 400 and above.
Within those parameters, no other DSLR, at any price, comes close to the native sharpness and color quality of the Sigma.
Besides that, the controls on the Sigma are very basic, without all the endless menu choices found on other DSLRs. If you know how to use shutter speed, aperture and white balance, you can get great shots right out of the box, without even opening the instruction manual. Try that with any other DSLR.
If you have any doubts about SD1 image quality, check the SD1 camera database gallery at PBase.com, and compare the Sigma images to any other DSLR. The proof is in the image.
Main problem in Sigma Foveon reviews is the fact that they tend to use jpg-mode instead of raw-mode. Sigma cameras are raw-cameras and they really are not intended to use in jpg-mode. Jpg files of SD1 seem to be much better (compared to raw files) than in case of SD14 that I use. But still: jpgs are nothing compared to raws which are converted to jpgs by Sigma's own PhotoPro. Raw files and PhotoPro are the keys to the brilliant picture quality of Sigma cameras and review without using them is worth nothing.
I'm still waiting for the price of SD1 going down…
only iso 800, why?
full bullshit review powered by canon
This is my second comment on your SD1M review. After the original comment, I've spent more time shooting with the SD1M, and have a few new observations to add.
First of all, the review is excellent, though there are a couple of points that need clarifying. Your explanation of the Foveon sensor is the best I've ever read. You have taken a complex issue and put it in terms anyone can understand. But it would help if people understood that the confusion about Sigma's pixel count claims are the result of the count system itself, and not any attempt by Sigma to fudge the numbers. In other words, when the pixel counting system was devised, the three-layer Foveon sensor did not exist, so it obviously could not be included in the parameters used for counting.
Besides that, a comment was made about the Sigma not producing good results when shooting directly towards sunlight. I've gotten great results doing exactly that, with every model Sigma makes. No special tricks were involved, besides spending a few minutes testing settings.
Another point in the SD1M's favor is the ability to pull two, three or four unique crops out of a single 46MB shots, with excellent results. Or, if you don't want to wait for those large files to load, you can drop the resolution down a notch or two and get great, faster shots at 15MB.
And finally, one comment made in the review will make all loyal Sigma owners happy. That would be the mention of Sigma images often having a 3D quality. This quality has been debated endlessly in camera forums, but it does exist and it's nice to see it recognized by others.
Thanks a lot for posting the raw images in X3F format.
Have you tried converting them to a common lossless format like tiff using dcraw? I have tried this and I get wrong colors (but correct gray level). I don't trust any non-opensource commercial software to really give a raw conversion. I had good experience with dcraw and trust it (perhaps because it feels nerdy compared to photoshop!).
Could you please let me know if you have tried a truly raw conversion and how (which code/software). I appreciate your feedback.
You can use original Sigma software for free. It doesnt get you best results, but it works.
If you want best, then its MAC only and its called Iridient Developer (one of best .. for many cameras, not just Sigma).
Currently RawTherapee team is working on implementing X3F support too.
Thanks for your response and info. The Iridient Developer webpage says it's possible to have "Processing Disabled" output mode in order to get a "linear" output. As I need this for scientific use, linearity of the output is crucial and much more important than cosmetic features. But the downside is that I don't have a Mac.
Do you happen to know if Sigma Photo Pro can be trusted to deliver raw linear data with no processing of the pixel values?
I dont have MAC either, but Iridient worked even under my virtual machine (also its possible to install MAC OS X onto regular PC with a.. bit of trying).
Or maybe getting older Macbook thats build on modern Intel architecture (they are reasonably cheap).
No Sigma Photo Pro doesnt have linear data, its heavily processed without option to disable it.

▪ Objective: To determine the effect of treating Helicobacter pylori infection on the recurrence of gastric and duodenal ulcer disease.
▪ Design: Follow-up of up to 2 years in patients with healed ulcers who had participated in randomized, controlled trials.
▪ Setting: A Veterans Affairs hospital.
▪ Participants: A total of 109 patients infected with H. pylori who had a recently healed duodenal (83 patients) or gastric ulcer (26 patients) as confirmed by endoscopy.
▪ Intervention: Patients received ranitidine, 300 mg, or ranitidine plus triple therapy. Triple therapy consisted of tetracycline, 2 g; metronidazole, 750 mg; and bismuth subsalicylate, 5 or 8 tablets (151 mg bismuth per tablet) and was administered for the first 2 weeks of treatment; ranitidine therapy was continued until the ulcer had healed or 16 weeks had elapsed. After ulcer healing, no maintenance antiulcer therapy was given.
▪ Measurements: Endoscopy to assess ulcer recurrence was done at 3-month intervals or when a patient developed symptoms, for a maximum of 2 years.
▪ Results: The probability of recurrence for patients who received triple therapy plus ranitidine was significantly lower than that for patients who received ranitidine alone: for patients with duodenal ulcer, 12% (95% Cl, 1% to 24%) compared with 95% (Cl, 84% to 100%); for patients with gastric ulcer, 13% (Cl, 4% to 31%) compared with 74% (44% to 100%). Fifty percent of patients who received ranitidine alone for healing of duodenal or gastric ulcer had a relapse within 12 weeks of healing. Ulcer recurrence in the triple therapy group was related to the failure to eradicate H. pylori and to the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
▪ Conclusions: Eradication of H. pylori infection markedly changes the natural history of peptic ulcer in patients with duodenal or gastric ulcer. Most peptic ulcers associated with H. pylori infection are curable.

The Flyers, fueled by an epic comeback in which they overcame a 3-0 series deficit against the Boston Bruins in the conference semifinals, are trying to win the franchise's third Stanley Cup - and their first since 1975.
That 1975 team was a powerhouse. It went 51-18-11 for 113 points in the regular season and intimidated teams with its brawling, physical style. But it also had three future Hall of Famers - goalie Bernie Parent, center Bobby Clarke, and left winger Bill Barber - as its core group. Oh, and it had two others who were among the game's best forwards: Rick MacLeish and Reggie Leach.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
It is craazy how many women think they are not good enough because they don't have a FAT ASS or pretty (very pretty, please) face! Especially, young women. Folks talking about ASS this and that. I have a nice ass and appreciate it. It took me YEARS to make friends with it, but we are good now. You don't need a fat ass to get a baller. Most ballers don't marry a fat ass (of course, there are a few exceptions and you can visit them in divorce court), it's way more complicated than that. In fact men, could really care less if you just know how to work with whatchya got. Swing those narrow hips, shake that little ass, and make it work for you. The butt pads are a no-no. What happens when you walk in the club and he brushes by you and feels a damn sponge. He rather feel a slice of bacon or a t-bone steak than foam. Ballers love a confident woman! If not, they will eat you alive, and not in a good way ;) Check out these ballers with their NOASSATALL wives. And I say that in jest, they are living lovely....So, put the needle down!

@Zaria .. i agree , Most ballers like a natural woman ..Fake tits and ass is not the way to go ...If you have extremely small breast ..breast implants can be okay ..just to give u womanly curves ...I have a natural big butt .. and sometimes i feel it works against me .. I try to wear things to tone it down ... most men just like that natural body ... staying fit and exercise is key ... Men are impressed when a woman stays active and fit ... Natural bodies are beautiful ..They key is to have a beautiful face ...You can snag a baller when u have the face of a angel.

Review: 'Luck' - 'Episode 4': The father, the son and the holy goat?
A review of tonight's "Luck" coming up just as soon as I call eight hours ahead to push 15 minutes...
"How do I feel? How the hell do I look?" -Marcus
We watch sports for all kinds of reasons, but mainly because we're waiting for that moment.
The unspoken truth about fandom is that in the end, almost everyone suffers. Only one team wins the championship each year, only one horse wins the race, and if you have the bad fortune, or the stubbornness, to be a fan of a particular athlete or team, you can go years, if not a lifetime (see Cubs fans) waiting in vain for your moment. But we watch, and we at times suffer, because when the moment comes — whether it's a championship, or a perfect individual performance, or something else special and/or unexpected — there ain't nothing that feels quite like it. It's a feeling that Knicks fans — and basketball fans in general, and Asian-American sports fans, and possibly just people who like fun — know well right now with this Jeremy Lin phenomenon. It is out of nowhere, it defies all logic, and yet it is glorious and joyful to behold.
And it's a feeling that everyone at Santa Anita for Gettin' Up Morning's first race in this episode knows well, too, because... damn.
As I wrote before the season began, the race in this episode is the moment where everything in "Luck" clicked for me — where I could see exactly what it was the show was doing, and more importantly what all the characters on the show were doing building their entire lives around this run-down, half-empty, depressing racetrack.
Milch's "Deadwood" was about the building of a community, brick by brick, selfless act by selfless act. And one of the ways Milch frequently chose to illustrate the growth of that community was with scenes set in the muddy middle of the Deadwood thoroughfare, with most of the large ensemble standing in different locations, everyone watching everyone else and being aware of what everyone else was up to. Santa Anita isn't set up in quite that way. Where the thoroughfare let people look in nearly every direction, back and forth, left and right, the track is designed to put everyone but the jocks and the horses side-by-side, all facing the same way, all watching the same action. "Deadwood" was a diorama; "Luck" is a tapestry. It's three-dimensional in terms of the depth given to the characters, but two-dimensional in how they're arrayed in space during the races, and how we can see all of them at once, all looking the same way, if the angle's right.
And what we can see throughout Rosie's triumphant, unexpected, absurdly dominant ride along the back of Walter Smith's prized horse is a similar feeling from person to person, and it is a mixture of shock, joy and something resembling religious awe. The expression on Marcus' face, so perfectly captured by Kevin Dunn, shows us a man who has waited his whole life — at more than a little emotional cost — to see a thing like that. That look shows us a bitter, crippled, neurotic misanthrope briefly returned to a state of childish wonder, and inspired to finally get moving to go rescue the closest thing he has to a friend from his own demons.
What we can see is Walter Smith — so large and yet so frail that it seems like he could keel over any moment — throwing every fiber of his being into cheering on a horse that in turn puts so much into each ride that he coughs up blood after the race is over. We see that Walter was right to believe in Gettin' Up Morning, and that there is joy but also tremendous relief — and, later, when he speaks of the horse's murdered sire Delphi, grief.
That's really what strikes me about the race. Rosie's ride is itself beautifully shot, edited and scored. But the sequence that just hits like a ton of bricks every time I watch it (and I have watched it many, many times since I first got my screeners) is the aftermath: Marcus, and Walter, and Joey silently asking himself if he saw what he just thought he saw, but also the brief glimpses of Leon doubled over after his run, and Ace and Gus pulling back up to the Beverly Hilton. (And, before that, our view of Ronnie hanging out with the other junkies at the beach.) I watched that and suddenly felt sad for them for missing what just happened at the track. Do they not realize that? Will they ever be able to comprehend it without having been there? Rosie tells Leon about it later, and Escalante and Jo watch the replay, but to actually be there, watching it live — to see that unknown horse go from dead last after a flat-footed start to absolutely destroying the competition by race's end — is something they won't quite understand.
But I watched it in as live a manner as "Luck" was able to give it to me, and it was beautiful. This is why we devote time to our obsessions, whether they're sports, art, or something else. Because we hope for the moment. Sometimes we can use that moment to inspire us to do something else good, as Marcus, Lonnie and Renzo do in coaxing Jerry out of Leo's private game.
But sometimes just seeing the thing you've been waiting and suffering so long for is itself enough.
Some other thoughts:
* Though Ace is unfortunately absent for the big race, he's very present for the rest of the episode, which includes a longer explanation from Claire about her horse/convict rehabilitation program, another session with quick learner Nathan Israel (who can already turn the "Answers a question with a question" line back on Ace), and, most importantly, a face-to-face with Mike, who finally appears in the person of Michael Gambon. (Gambon has no Milch connections, but played a heavy in Mann's "The Insider.") And holy cow, does Gambon make a big first impression. Of course, when you invite Dumbledore to drop lines like, "These godless motherfuckers, the ones I blame for me doing three years... Let me try to fuck these cunts up the ass," you're bound to get attention. But as with the famously-profane dialogue on "Deadwood," the cussing is only one small part of why Gambon makes Mike so memorable, and so scary. Ace may have a brilliant plan to get back at this guy for his time in jail, but Mike makes it clear he's not going to be easily fooled by anything Ace tries.
* I liked the sense of ritual leading up to the big race, and also just how happy and overwhelmed Rosie was to have the chance. Where a more seasoned jock might be turned off by having to get changed in what's essentially a large closet, she's just happy to be up in the big leagues, riding a horse this potentially great.
* With each action the railbirds take regarding one another, the tighter their bond grows. But even though Marcus is clearly transformed by what he sees Gettin' Up Morning do, he still has plenty of temper left with which to get frustrated with Lonnie and Renzo. And his frustration is very, very funny.
* Ian Hart is from Liverpool (one of several reasons he made a great John Lennon in two different movies) and is doing an American accent on this show (like he did on FX's "Dirt"), but is it my imagination or did his accent turn a bit Southern in this episode? He sounded different than in the previous two weeks, particularly in the scene where the guys ask Escalante if they can feed more carrots to Mon Gateau.
* While Rosie has her unexpected triumph, Joey is understandably freaking out about his own jockey clients — Leon desperately trying to make weight, Ronnie using again — and he delivers a very Milch-ian monologue about his troubles that's presented in a very un-Milch-ian, stream of consciousness way with all the jump cuts.
What did everybody else think?

I honestly would not recommend this cruise line to Americans only because Americans love good food and variety!!! And in all fairness, it is an Italian cruise line that caters to Europeans which they should. Maybe the Euros love the food, I don't know.
However, if you just love to get away for a week or two, you are a seasoned traveler, and you really have no expectations other than Island hoping, you can't top that deal!!!

Do banks get jingle mail?
Edel Morgan
Lately I've been hearing about a rising incidence of jingle mail – people posting the keys of their property back to the bank – and wondered if the people who abandon property in Ireland actually go to the bother of sending their keys back or just run for the hills?
According to the Central Bank 119 people either abandoned or voluntarily surrendered property in the last quarter and the numbers are steadily increasing. In the same three months last year the figure was 59 and the total for the year to September was 460. We don't know how many were abandoned as opposed to voluntarily surrendered because the Central Bank doesn't provide a breakdown.
A few industry people I spoke to said that property owners that do a moonlight flit prefer a quiet exit. "Some people may not want to alert the bank and may drop the keys back into the letterbox. It probably all depends on the individual future plans of the person as well as their financial situation." says Frank Conway of Moneycoach.ie. Carol Tallon of Buyers Broker agrees, "It happens that people drop the keys back to the local branch but most tend not to notify anyone, the bank mightn't know they are gone for months."
Karl Deeter of Irish Mortgage Brokers says he has heard reports that a significant number of the people who abscond are foreign nationals. "They may have been laid off from their jobs, struggling and in deep negative equity and are not planning on living in Ireland long term."
Jingle mail is more of an American phenomenon where walking away from a property and posting the keys back to the bank is made easier by the fact that many states have non-recourse mortgages. Borrowers here are liable for the remainder of the debt after a property is sold, and while there is anecdotal evidence that debt forgiveness is being exercised by banks, it is not happening in any structured way.
For those who decide to leave the debt behind , it is unlikely the bank will pursue them abroad . "However, on this point, says Conway, I believe that under EU law, there may be a mechanism where they can attempt some court action in another jurisdiction but I believe this is not being used for mortgage debt.Certainly for those who relocate to Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the US, lenders here will have little opportunity to pursue."
One mortgage broker, who didn't want to be named, said while the banks "spin a line" about their ability to pursue, logistically initiating proceedings in another jurisdiction is a costly and time consuming.
The more immediate problem will be arriving in a country with no credit record. Some of these countries may require a period of banking with the institution such as having a checking / current account as the lead-in to developing a credit record in that country. In the US, people are sometimes offered a co-signed debit card facility with a maximum limit for a set period of time before progressing to a credit card account and working from there .The time it will take them to build up credit will probably be no shorter than if they come out of bankruptcy under the new regime on its way in Ireland.
Conway says that many people who have moved abroad continue to pay their loans because they want to maintain a clean ICB as they may return home some day.
Foreign nationals who leave a property behind face less repercussions.
"I don't think banks in their home countries will ask what their credit record was like here, clients could just say that they had no borrowings in Ireland….how could the bank prove or disprove this? Also, if you think about it, some people could be motivated to not pay some bills as a means of accelerated savings before their return.
My gut feeling, though, is that many foreign nationals who actually purchased here could be here for the long-run and may actually work that bit harder to keep their homes as they may no alternative accommodation to readily fall back on ."

Does any of this look familiar?
There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a socialist/communist state.....
1. Healthcare. "Control healthcare and you control the people"
2. Poverty. "increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live"
3. Debt "Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty"
4. Gun control. "Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state - total local control"
5. Welfare. Take control of every aspect of their lives" (Food, Livestock, Housing, energy and income."
6. Education. "Take control of what people read and listen to. Take control of what children learn in school."
7. Religion. "Remove faith in God from the Government and schools."
8. Class Warfare. "Divide the people into the wealthy against the poor. Racially divide. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to Tax the wealth with full support of the voting poor."

For one night, the spirit that used to accompany more-successful teams was pervasive through the sold-out crowd of 20,856 at the Wells Fargo Center.
The 76ers fans came to honor Allen Iverson, who had his No. 3 jersey lifted to the rafters. Even though the 38-year-old Iverson is four years past his last NBA game, he can still draw and inspire a crowd.
Another Sixers loss was by far the secondary story, this time a 122-103 defeat to the Washington Wizards. It was the 13th consecutive defeat.
Iverson momentarily took the Sixers fans' minds off the current team and revisited an era when there was frequently a buzz in the crowd, a reason to cheer.

The Great Republic of Rough and Ready re-examine the traditions of country, folk and blues in a unique style that is at once an offering of respect, an act of conservation, and an insightful critique. Their stripped-down reinterpretations - encompassing the works of artists from Ma Rainy to Skip James to Hank Williams - are steeped in craft, and imbued with a haunting stillness and subtlety. The sound is lonesome, quiet and incisive. It delights in small silences.
The group takes their name from the former sovereign nation of Rough and Ready, just outside of Nevada City. One of the most prosperous mining towns of the California Gold Rush, its residents seceded from the United States in 1850 - in protest of taxes on mining claims - forming The Great Republic of Rough and Ready. Less than four months later those same residents voted themselves back into the Union, so as not to be excluded from 4th of July festivities.
The Great Republic of Rough and Ready are Elissa Spencer (vocals) and Samuel Stein (guitar). Based in New York, they find themselves equally at home in upscale theaters and dive bars. In 2009 they were featured in New York City's River To River and CMJ festivals, and have been commissioned to write and perform music for dance at Dance Theater Workshop and Judson Memorial Church.
Lau derette Recordings will release the group's first 7-inch in April 2010. The single features Hank Williams's "The Angel of Death" paired with the sobering verses of "You Are My Sunshine." A downloadable EP featuring additional bonus tracks, accompanies the record.

Can USC Avoid Trap Game Loss This Fall?
July 2nd, 2012| by Lost Lettermen
By Jim Weber
It's not even July 4th and people are already seemingly penciling USC into the national title game.
That's because, in little over a month last fall, the Trojans defeated Oregon in Autzen Stadium, blew the doors off rival UCLA and got news than star quarterback Matt Barkley would shockingly return for his senior season.
Since then, the hype has slowly spun out of control as the press has already handed Barkley the Heisman while Bovada currently has USC listed as 3/1 odds to win it all and the OC Register's 10 reasons why the Trojans will clutch the crystal ball include, "Because Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly hasn't been the second coming of Knute Rockne." Any more brain busters?
The schedule is certainly favorable with Oregon, Cal and Notre Dame at home, while Stanford's rebuilds almost the entire offense and the Ducks turn the offense over from experienced veteran QB Darron Thomas to freshman Marcus Mariota.
But USC a lock to make the national title game? As Lee Corso likes to say: Not so fast, my friend.
There are still concerns for the Trojans: Will Robert Woods' ankle hold up through the season? Will the atrocious secondary that finished 102nd in the country improve? Will RB Curtis McNeal (5-foot-7) be able to carry the load all year at "Tailback U"? And will the Trojans be able to beat Oregon twice, which will likely be required in the Pac-12 Championship Game for USC to take their talents to South Beach for the national title game.
But what concerns me the most about the Trojans is their tendency to play down to their competition in trap games which, in many instances, has cost them a chance to play for the national title.
There was the choke job against UCLA in 2006, the one-point loss at home to 41-point underdog Stanford in 2007, a loss to Oregon State in '08 just one week after pummeling Ohio State in the L.A. Coliseum, the '09 loss to a Washington team coming off an 0-12 season a loss at home to the same Huskies two years ago.
I'll admit that I place most of the blame on those losses to former head coach Pete Carroll, who seemed to lay off the gas in lesser games and didn't have his players focused week-in and week-out.
But last season started out the same way with a near-loss to ghastly Minnesota and a blowout defeat to Arizona State, who finished the season with a losing record. Yes, the Trojans got their act together with a win in Eugene and three blowout victories to surround it, but USC's history would make me very nervous as a Trojan fan.
No, I don't see them losing to Stanford, Oregon, Notre Dame or UCLA this fall – the four contests that will get the most national attention. I don't even see them losing in the Pac-12 Championship Game, although it would be very difficult to beat Oregon twice in the same season.
If I'm a USC fan, I circle three road contests on my calendar and put red flags next to them: at Utah (Oct. 4), at Washington (Oct. 13) and at Arizona (Oct. 27) – with different reasons for each. (By the way, let me point out how lucky USC is to avoid Washington State and Mike Leach, whose passing attack would have really tested USC's secondary).
The Utes had a losing Pac-12 record year but not only were a field goal away from a victory in the Coliseum, a Thursday night game at Rice-Eccles Stadium has "USC upset" written all over it. Will USC be overlooking the Utes for a game against Washington the next week?
As for Washington, the Huskies might start the season in the Top 25 but this will probably be considered another trap game after a loss by UW to LSU and possibly Stanford. Plus, USC beat the tar out of Washington last season, 40-17. But Keith Price channeled his inner Robert Griffin III to end last season and Steve Sarkisian has shown in the past he has USC's number. If the Trojans beat Utah, will they think they can put things on cruise control for the second away game in as many weeks?
On paper, Arizona has no chance at beating USC after going 4-8 last year and axing Mike Stoops. But Rich Rodriguez is an offensive genius who will be gunning all season for a landmark victory and the Trojans were caught sleeping on their trip to the desert last season to play the Sun Devils.
USC will likely enter all three of those contests as double-digit favorites and should win each one handily if they play up to their potential. But something tells me one of these trap games will end up being a Trojan Horse that undoes an undefeated USC season once more.

Can there be a funny soap opera?
There's certainly one at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. "I Capture the Castle" has Stephen Colley in love with Cassandra Mortmain, who's in love with Simon Cotton, who's in love with Rose Mortmain, a gold-digger who's in love with — well, you get the point.
Add in a father who may be mentally ill and an older woman who's got her eye on a much younger man, and you have some young and restless people.
But Dodie Smith's 1954 play has a quirky sense of humor unknown to daytime dramas. Says Cassandra, the young miss at the center of the play, "I know the facts of life — and I don't think much of them." That quip received one of many big laughs from the Madison first-nighters.
The penniless Mortmain family has been renting a castle, but is now in serious arrears. Then Simon and Neil Cotton, their wealthy American landlords, arrive. One would think that there would be some tension over paying the rent, but that's never an issue. What does come up, however, is Rose's great interest in the wealthy brothers.
Because the Mortmains live in a cocoonish world of their own, director Cameron Watson could have gone the twitty British route, having the men wear monocles and adopting "Oh! I say! Good show!" demeanors. Watson's much smarter than that, and uses a low-key approach that lets the characters and material speak for them. That makes matters much funnier.
As Cassandra, Rebecca Mozo gives one of those performances that make theatergoers think, "Where has this actress been all my life?"
Even when she's just sitting and writing in a journal, Mozo's posture and calmness make theatergoers immediately interested. When they see that she's a bastion of reason, and how staunchly optimistic she is in the face of adversity, they care for her even more. Just as former Yankee Reggie Jackson referred to himself as "the straw that stirs the drink," in this family, Cassandra is the spoon that stirs the tea.
Nisi Sturgis, one of the Shakespeare Theatre's most valuable players, adds to her ever-growing reputation playing Rose. Sturgis starts out utterly defeated, knowing there's no way out for her impoverished family. Once Rose sees her chance to marry well, Sturgis comes alive and continues on a roller-coaster existence. Sturgis maneuvers well throughout the ride.
Matt Bradford Sullivan and Erika Rolfsrud are whimsically idiosyncratic as the women's parents, as is Daniel Marconi as their young brother. While Marconi doesn't have much to do until the second act, he proves worth the wait when he gets to his big speech. Tony Roach and Josh Carpenter are appropriately square-jawed as the Cotton Brothers. Pressly Coker has enormous appeal as working-class handyman Stephen, who knows his place but wishes he didn't.
Maureen Silliman excels as the local librarian who often drops by with a book she knows someone would like. Her delight in life is wonderfully infectious. John FitzGibbon is a refreshingly different vicar who's not at all sanctimonious.
But "I Capture the Castle" has another commonality with soap operas: The show seems to go on forever.
The running time is more than 2½ hours, thanks to many other characters that Smith introduces. In that way, this undistinguished minor work is right for a theater dedicated to Shakespeare: It seems as long as "Hamlet" — and almost as populous.

Help! Ear infection 4 year old-fashioned!?
4 year old be taken to the doctor, there be no sign of infection, but she was prescribed ear drops any route, which did not work. Warm cloth, peroxide plain, then peroxide next to vinegar, alcohol, ear wax removal kit, swimmers ear drops, and a few over the counter ear drops. Does any one know any home remedies? Also another request for information is there any where on earth you can find Colloidal Silver over the counter? Thank yoU!
Bless your heart.
Kudos on the peroxide - it needs to be food level though.
I'd definitely hold the child to a chiropractor. . .
Also - what about lymph pat? This could help like mad. I don't know where you live but I've found that most wipe therapists can refer to a personage who specializes in lymph rub.
Here's what I found out from my Prescription for Natural Healing Book:
Very Important: Colloidal Silver - (take as directed) natural antibiotic - can be taken out loud or as an ear wash (look for it within an herb shop or a grocery store that contains fresh herbs (dont buy herb at places like Walmart - they're unmoving - you'd be throwing away money)
Very Important: Manganese - 10 mg daily (adult dose) - lesser amount has be linked to ear disorders. (do not pocket as same time as calcium)
Very Important: Vitamin C (childrens dose is 200 mg 4 times daily) boosts immunity and fight infection (there are chewables for children). Use an estrified or buffered form such as Ester-C or calcium or zinc ascorbate.
Very Important: Zinc - 10 mg lozenge form daily for 5 days, next 50 mg daily surrounded by pill form. Do not exceed this amount (this is adult dosage - nick it down quite a bit for a four year old).
Also Important: Kyolic - EPA from Wakunaga (as directed on the label) to fall inflammation and infection.
Also Important: Vitamin B complex (adult dose is 50 mg of each leading vitamin 3 x daily) - DO NOT TAKE AFTER LUNCH - THIS CAN KEEP YOU UP AT NIGHT - ITS AN ENERGY BOOSTER - will also turn pee bright yellow - noteworthy for immune function.
Also Important: Vitamin E - (adult dose is 200 IU daily) - enhances immune function. Use d-alpha-tocopherol form (side write down: Ive read if you dont get the d-alpha-tocopherol form, you might as ably not even take it - if it's not surrounded by this form then it's man made. Man made vitamins and herb are not desireable).
To alleviate pain: place a few drops of thaw garlic oil or olive grease in the ear, consequently a drop or two of lobelia or mullein oil. You can plug the ear loosely near a cotton ball. You can also trade name a paste using onion powder or clay and thaw out water, and apply the soft mass to the outside of the ear to relieve pain.
Olive palm leaf extract helps the body come to blows infection.
Avoid the most common allergenic foods: Wheat, dairy products, corn, oranges, peanut butter, adjectives simple carbs, sugar, fruits, fruit juices.
Apply hot and cold compresses alternately to the scalp basically behind the ear.
HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY: (I use homeopathics on my four year antediluvian ALL the time - they are completely safe for everyone - even infants and pregnant women) - Earache Tablets from Hylands' Inc - a herb shop will own these - sometimes walmart or a groc. store carries them too - they contain Belladonna, Calcarea Carbonica, Chamomilla, Lycopdium, Pulsatilla, and Sulfur.
And. . .I know you've be to the doc more times than you should have. Maybe they're not getting it. You may own to be very forceful, conceivably it would help to relate them noone in the house is sleeping, she is within severe pain, and you MUST receive oblige. I dunno, you may have already done this. The article is, they have slipshod you thus far - this baby have been hurting waaaay too long and you're have to diagnose and treat your own child which is not right when you have be to so many doctors.
Perhaps you can find a naturopathic doctor?
I know that a virtuous chiropractor could probably tell you what's going on.
Good luck to you - I hope some of this help.
Edit: something else just occured to me - There's no style there's a bug, or a toy, or something else in nearby, right? I mean, I know that 4 year olds are curious and he/she academic that the doc can look IN her/his ear. So, now the child know there's an "ear hole". I could see how a kid could go sticking something surrounded by there playing doctor afterwards - a moment ago a thought.
Take the child to an ENT doc if he is still having ear backache. Also you should not have tried adjectives of those things in the ear short your doc approval as some could have done deface to his ear or ear drum. Take the child to an ENT doc and get to the bottom of this. Colloidal silver is found surrounded by health food places but I would never use this stuff. Colloidal silver can lead to to many problems.
If your doctor said here is no ear infection then within is no ear infection. Typically look for the child tugging on the ear or touching it. If the child is still in distress for some reason turn back to your doctor... it looks resembling you may have gone a moment or two overboard with some of your home remedies...
My son have also suffered from ear infections since he was small. He is also 4.
My son have tubes put in his ears, but he still get ear infections sometimes.
There is an herbel drop for children that has fluent benficial ingredients in it that relief:
This the brand that I use and it can be found at any Natural store:
Also, Colodial Silver can also been found at a Natural Store as economically.
Good Luck
Children with ear infections/ ear pressure repsond remarkably well to chiropractic.
I have a child with chronic ear infections until I started using echinacea as a serene anti-biotic for her. You can purchase it as a glycerite and it's very sweet and she will bring it.
I also gave her mullein tea next to a bit of maple syrup daily as a prevention. It keep the fluid out of the ear.
My daughter was lower than one, your daughter is old satisfactory to tolerate goldenseal which is a much stronger antibiotic than echinancea. Together they should do the trick in a glycerite, but the savour issue may be tricky.
My daughter, now a teen, go swimming and got fluid contained by her ear a couple of weeks ago. She was have allot of discomfort, so on my morning walk I picked some mullein flower and yarrow. I infused these beside olive oil that I have earlier infused near calendula; she's carrying it around with her adjectives the time now. You can buy this type of ear grease as mentioned.
Best of Luck!
Here is where you can find a great product made by Herbs for Kids
As a child I suffered unsuccessfully from earaches I was to the hospital several times a week I mull over my parents knew the Doctors by label.As I got elder I still suffered, I discovered a simple free Remedy after getting wet eg:shower-swimming etc.I verbs up the tip of my ear lobe up-take the hair blow dryer and dry the ear really very well. I also took lots of drops I was so impossible I had to acquire special sticks to open the ears but it did not work.The solely thing that works is to other dry my ears. Haven't had problems since.Good Luck.
My niece have chronic ear infections with discomfort ... doc wanted to cut hindmost on the antibiotics they were giving her for mistrust she would become resistent to them.
He prescribed the garlic oil (I see one of the answerers recommended it too). It did backing. She did grow out of it eventually. If you smoke around your child -- that can make ear problems worse. Also might want to check out child's diet. Seems approaching some kids have more ear problems when they guzzle certain foord -- approaching dairy.
Good luck! Ear aches are so tough on the little guys!
Try tea tree grease - a drop in respectively ear
Also, try a chiropractor that deals w/wee ones. They will not hurt your little one. Sometimes they know & do more than the real doctors.
So sorry to hear roughly your little one's misery. It is very tricky to help them sometimes.
Go to a strength food store and get some tea tree grease (make sure it is just tea tree grease and not mixed with something else).
put a couple drops surrounded by the affected ear.
Tea tree grease is a natural discomfort reliever and infection fighter.
You could put a few drops on a cotton globe and put that in the ear, but the grease would probably do better if you just drop it surrounded by the canal.
Heat is a apt way to relieve the strain.
If you can get your child to hold a thaw rag to the ear it might abet.

There are people who hike year-round. I am not one of those people. For me, fall is the perfect time to hike. Actually, the fall before hunting season is the perfect time to hike. And, just to clear things up, snowshoeing up hiking trails in the winter, in my opinion, is snowshoeing, not hiking, otherwise I would say that fall and winter are the best times to hike. And to clarify a bit more, I am making this statement based on living in the east, because I really love hiking in Colorado in the summer where there is so little humidity. So, yeah, in the east, hiking in the fall, before hunting season, is the perfect time to hike.
Anyway, a couple days ago I went for a hike near our office in Dublin, NH, during lunch. If you are feeling envious at the moment, you really should be. It's actually better than you can imagine to head out on the meandering dirt roads or nearby trails during a mid-day lunch break. In fact, to add to your jealousy, I also went for a kayak after work yesterday and before work this morning. And the plan, in a matter of minutes, is to turn the little hike I did a few days ago into a trail run. I am tired just thinking about this, especially because I got up early this morning. Hmm, I just went from trying to make you jealous of my activities to making you feel sympathy for me. I am all over the place.
It's been about 26 years since I went on my last trail run. That ended badly with a broken arm. But I am not going to wear sandals that are two sizes too big on this run. And I just knocked on some wood. And, it is not hunting season yet.

No stranger to drama, Brandi Glanville is once again at the center of a firestorm on Monday night's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (airing at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo).
While away for a girls' weekend in Palm Springs, Calif., with the other housewives, the former model, 41, gets a call that one of her beloved dogs has been stolen from her house – but Glanville isn't buying it.
"We have computers and TVs and iPads and everything," in the L.A. home that she rents, "and they took one dog? It didn't make sense to me," she says.
And so unfolds the commotion surrounding little Chica, a rescue pooch Glanville adopted three years ago from a shelter in Van Nuys, Calif. At fault, says Glanville, is her former assistant, who had a bad habit of leaving doors open.
"There's coyotes and cars," she tells PEOPLE. "I don't know what happened. I'll never know. I can't blame her 100 percent. But I let her go because of the irresponsibility factor … I just couldn't imagine [someone] losing my dog."
Though the entire family – including remaining dog Sugar and Glanville's sons Mason, 10½, and Jake, 6½ – is devastated by the loss, they bounced back fairly quickly after the arrival of Buddy, a Chihuahua mix they adopted from the same shelter.
"My therapist said the best thing to do was to get a new dog right away," she says. "Sugar was also very depressed – she just laid around and cried."
The new dog has been a big distraction – in a good way and sometimes bad. "He's a biter, he's a pee-er, he's a barker," she says. "But he really does have a sweet soul and we have a trainer and we're working with him. It's a slow journey but we're getting him to be better."
Glanville did bury one of Chica's collars in her backyard, but she's not without hope that the little dog still might be found.
"I just need to hope for my children that someone found her in a good home," she says. "I was driving the other day and I saw her missing sign – we put them everywhere – and I got so sad. But I got excited to see her little face and I was like, 'Oh, you never know.'"
