The Shrinking Unemployment Bill
June 17, 2010 - by Donny ShawOnce again, Democrats are downsizing H.R. 4213, the unemployment insurance/tax extenders bill, in order to lessen its impact on the deficit and round up the support to pass it. The bill has been floundering in the Senate for weeks, and yesterday, it officially stalled out after the Democrats failed 45-52 to overcome an important procedural hurdle requiring 60 votes to pass.
According to Sen. Max Baucus [D, MT] and the Senate Finance Committee, these are the big changes in the revised bill:
- Shorten the Medicare payment cut patch, or "doc fix," from 19 months to 6 months — Doctors are currently facing a 22% cut in their Medicare payments under an automatic pay formula that Congress created in 1997. The formula has recommended pay cuts for the past 7 years, but each year Congress has overridden it by passing temporary temporary patches. By shortening the length of the current patch by 13 months, the bill, technically, costs $16.4 billion less. But these savings are pretty cheap because Congress will almost certainly be back in 6 months when this patch expires to extend it again.
- Eliminating the Federal Additional Compensation program — This is a stimulus program that provides an extra $25 per week for people receiving extended unemployment benefits. Eliminating it saves $5.8 billion over the next ten years.
- Changes in the carried interest tax loophole closer — One of the big revenue raisers in the bill is a provisions to partially close a loophole in the tax code that lets hedge-fund and private-equity managers pay the lower capital gains rate (15%) on the cut they take from the appreciation of their clients' portfolios rather than the regular income tax rate (up to 39%). In the Democrats' last revision of H.R. 4213, they softened this provision to satisfy the influential hedge fund industry. In this revision, they are tightening it back up a bit by increasing how much of their income hedge fund managers old have to pay at the regular rate. This change would bring in an extra $13.9 billion over the next ten years.
There are also several smaller changes in the revision that you can see by downloading this PDF from the Finance Committee. In total, the revision takes a little more than $20 billion off the total deficit impact of the bill. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the revised bill would cost $105 billion and its net deficit impact would be $55 billion.
The big question: are these changes significant enough to win over the 12 Democrats who voted against the bill yesterday plus at least one Republican? That's what it's going to take for the Democrats to break a Republican filibuster and get this through the Senate.

Hey writer… it would make it so much better if you'd actually tell us when the next vote is expected! We can discuss this all day long but means nothing when you don't even sway the reader on when the Senate will act again on this.
An unemployed expired benefit American citizen
In your professional opinion a yes or a no do you think this bill will pass and how long do you think it would take for it to pass if yes. By the way i appreciate you keeping this updated throughout the day its nice to come on here and look at the updates!
Just in from CongressDaily:
GOP Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine said today they would still oppose a slimmed "extender" package, casting doubt on Senate Democrats' ability to round up 60 votes. […] "It's moving in the right direction," Collins said. "It's not there yet." Snowe said she still could not support the package and is pushing an amendment to strike a $9 billion tax increase on small professional services firms organized as "S corporations," which Democrats say merely closes a loophole enabling firm owners to avoid paying Medicare and Social Security taxes.
What I do not understand is why they had to add all of these extra things in the bill when americans are suffering. Why not just pass the unemployment extension and worry about the other things later? Deal with the major issue at hand first the one that needs the immediate attention!
I think it will pass also but its already Thursday so thanks to the Senate we will probably go another week without benefits…
Basically, what I think, this is how they get their agendas passed, for their constituents, or their contributors. This is a classic example of pork barreling. Geesh, they don't seem to care that Americans are suffering here and depending on their support.
Next time your congressman or senator asks for your support, look and see how they have performed on this and other legislation. If they have not stacked up in the people's favor, don't support. And, if there is anyone on this blog that does not vote, shame on you, that is the political process at work in the trenches. -
Thats fine, I'm healthy but hungry lol….
I would hope they do something soon. AS a person who is unemployed ( NOV 2009) I just ran out of the 26 weeks of benefits and fell thru some sort of crack, there were no benefits * Tier 1,2,3,4 or whatever available because I signed for my last week May 29th.
I find this pretty unfortunate as there are MANY others been on unemployment , looking for work? maybe? and have drawn up to 99 weeks and here I was laid off late last yr. and get a whopping 26 weeks of benefits and now what? Pretty sad. I am hoping this gets passed soon, they figure a way to get the people that have been off for 2 yrs back to work or in trade schools etc. Take away the 25 bucks a week bonus I don't really care… but give me my regular benefits please until I can find a new job. -
I am in the EXACT same boat as you Swann, Same dates ect. I was able to claim but was told I will not be getting any money as of now but to keep claiming. I am very scared, this is my only income & now it's gone…no warning! The week prior I reiceved a letter that put my mins at ease (lol..yea ok) that I was fine & would be getting my benifits without any delay and now this! What a kick in the butt to all of us in this boat. I wonder if the people who voted NO could live with out a any money comming in, how would they fare?
• It's the Republican party who is busy watching out for Wall Street/Corporations.
Shame on Congress for not coming up with a solution for ALL its' displaced hard working Americans.
• 9.7% unemployed = 1.2 million Americans, and 55% of the workforce have taken reduced work hours, pay-cuts, unpaid leave, forced to switch to part-time. The BP Oil Corporation's irresponsibleness is adding to lost jobs and lost lives.Yesterday, President Obama's discussed what was happening with corporations, the economy, and the need to help the displaced unemployed. Watch his entire interview on CSPAN. He gets it.
CNN and FOX only report on self-interested, with their main story and topics cycling 24 hours. Go to CSPAN
CSPAN: http://www.c-span.org/Watch/Media/2010/06/29/HP/A/34826/Pres+Obama+Remarks+on+the+Economy.aspxwwww.change.
GOP are determined to bloc everything the President is trying to do for the USA right now. He has a vested interest, and seems to take pride in doing the best job he can while in office.
We are in trouble as long as Republican politicians continue favoring their special interest.
How can any CEO or Owner of business get anything done if half of his managers or executives stand in his way just to be defiant.President Obama speech on CSPAN today, while in Kansas City, MO to support a future candidate. Was right on.
If you are an unemployed American, and are thinking no one understands the difficulties of being jobless. Obama speech articulated the financial and emotional struggles well. Hat's off to the President for saying what needed to be said.http://cspan.org/Watch/Media/2010/07/08/HP/A/35248/Pres+Obama+Remarks+at+Fundraiser+for+Missouri+Senate+Candidate+Robin
Senator's excuse for not passing is a false statement.
Read all about it:
The funding argument is even harder to swallow. I'd be more sympathetic with these new converts to fiscal responsibility if they were as enthusiastic about paying for extending $32 billion worth of special interest tax breaks as they are about funding the unemployment extension. If I understand correctly, these lawmakers insist that Congress fund every dime of added jobless aid, which nearly all analysts agree will help boost the economy. But they feel no need to pay for continuing these special interest tax breaks, which will not.

The Senate needs to be held accountable for their incompetence and lack of integrity. Shame on them for not coming up with a 100% solution for all Americans who are forced to survive on their UI.
President Obama can't sign a bill, if Congress doesn't get it to him. President Obama's discussed the economy, and the need to help the displaced unemployed with UI Extentions on Monday and Tuesday. CSPAN.ORG
As of today, we have 9.7% unemployed, 55% of the workforce have taken reduced work hours, pay-cuts, unpaid leave, forced to switch to part-time, and BP Oil Corporation's IRRESPONSIBLENESS is adding to LOST JOBS and LOST LIVES.
1.2 million who will lose their Unemployment Insurance if Republicans get their way.The GOP have no vested interest in hearing or helping jobless people. The only communication Republicans hear is $$$$$. That's why they listen to and only support Oil Companies, Insurance Companies, Banks, Big Corporations, and Wall Street
Corporations have increased their cash reserves to $1.84 TRILLION, THE HIGHEST FIGURE IN HISTORY! Big business and the banks, after an unprecedented bailout by the public treasury, are hoarding the funds (Americans pay this back on their IRS tax bill). BIG CORPORATIONS EXECUTIVES ARE MAKING BIG BONUSES AND GETTING SALARY INCREASES FOR SHOWING HUGE PROFITS. The cash reserves of major corporations have jumped 26 percent in one year, the largest percentage increase in nearly 60 years. The cash reserves of working people, and particularly the unemployed, have not been so fortunate.
REPUBLICANS bloc, the SENATE vote and defeat sevaral proposed extension of unemployment benefits for unemployed workers. Many of these same Senators rushed through a $700 BILLION bailout of Wall Street in 2008 in a matter of days, cannot bring itself to support even the most meager subsistence for the unemployed workers who are the victims, not the perpetrators, of the economic crisis.
WWW.CHANGE.ORG Let's take away $100.00 a month extra from the unemployed. Lets give congress $100.00 and tell them to go to the grocery store and purchase food for their family for one month on that $100.00 See how far they get. Also Hollywood is very important, I'll remember that when I am homeless and fill up my station wagon with my belongings, children & animals. I'll ask my family if they would like to go and see a movie because it's so important that we help hollywood keep up thier lavish life style. We wouldn't want them to live in anything less than a million dollar home, and forbid that they should have to drive a chevy. Oh and we can't let them do without thier diamond. No less than 10 carrots. As John Stassel says (GIVE ME A BREAK)
Hey tillie I understand where your comming from. I just exhausted tier 2 of my unemployment 2 weeks ago and am waiting to see whats going to happen. But to be honest I'm fairly certain the members in the Senate are pretty detached from whats at stake here. I really dont consider myself to be a member of either party because it seems like both sides have their own agenda. The Dems. have gotten complacent with sandbagging and screaming "Emergency" and the Rep. have the piggy bank in a choke hold. I belive the straw that broke my back was yesterday when Sen. Durbin had the floor and went on about a 4 or 5 min. rant about some movie he was reminded of. I mean seriously Dick? This is the same guy that kept Sen. Bunning on the floor for several hours back last March because "It was the right thing to do" or so he said. I belive the right thing to have done would be sure up this matter before you go on a 10 day vacation. I dont wanna hear about a movie I want to hear this bill pass.
Someone has started a petition on change.org to vote out all of the senators who voted against the extension. The petition is at:
http://uspoverty.change.org/petitions/view/vote_hr_4213_opponents_out_of_office_in_novemberPlease sign it and forward to anyone else who might be interested in signing it. Also, if you have facebook, twitter, etc, you might want to consider posting it there.
To be honest domer there will be no "trickle down effect" cause to be honest we are at the very bottom of the barrel so to speak. lol….
Man I feel ur pain! I am also up in the air.I have never collected anything from the gov and could get some benifits. I am well educated and just want a chanch to get something going. Not a hand out but a hand back! I know that my well fare will b a we'll care sometime! I am so upset that the well off senate members can not feel for us "The Voters". I will remeber u senate!!! I know u shound look out for the well being of the "Many". BUT!!! These are not ordinary times.The money u stick into the econ stays there (HERE). It is not a war where we Americans do not c it! HELP US!
! I appreciate the fact that someone is keeping us abreast of what's going on in regards to this bill, because the only thing the media cares about right now is oil in the gulf, not that it isn't a problem, but a sliver of knowledge on any other subject would be nice. Thank you to those the report on this story, because it is needed.
I agree….. yes the oil in the gulf is a problem but so is the unemployment rate and the people without benefits. The gulf and their oil mess will just further the loss of jobs and this bill needs to be passed now not a month down the road. The gulf cleanup in underway and there isn't much more that can be said or done about that as far as I am concerned.
Thats right senators rep and dem alike keep hanging this up over your precious deficit while you have no problem finding money to help every third world country and fund 2 not 1 but 2 wars billions a day but when it comes to helping americans who are unemployed you worry about deficits not to mention the 185 billion to AIG who has yet to pay it back Yeah wanna fix the deficit stop giving tax breaks to your rich friends who most likley got rich off the working people who are now taking the brunt of so called resession that sounds alot better than calling it what it really is a full blown DEPPRESION.
If you are apart of the American unemployed or share the same views as the unemployed and want to have a peaceful march on Washington to show that we do need our unemployment or in support of unemployment, email me at email@example.com. This has to be done, a peaceful stand needs to take place soon to make a difference. Before a lot of Americans lose the little bit that they do have. We didn't ask for the economy to be this way and it is not our fault that we can not find jobs all at the same time. We worked all of our lives and now that we need help, the people in congress is saying no! We are the ones that help pay for wars, national disasters, and the congressmen paychecks. Now they are telling us that they cannot pass a bill so we can feed and house our families. What is more important the "Oil Spill" or the unemployed and their children. I don't think so, it's time for a peaceful march, email me at email@example.com, to make a peaceful stand now.
Maybe we need a peoples party! Dem's, Republican's, Independents, they are all out of touch. They have no clue what reality is for most americans, nor do they want to. They listen to money, because it speaks to them and their next campaigns. They days of Walter Cronkite and unbiased news are gone. We will only hear what the owners of the media outlets want us to hear. Unemployment is not a choice! I have worked since age of 16,over 38 years, now I am in a crisis that Congress created. Hell yes I will vote against any nay voter on this bill. I am keeping tabs, I'll even volunteer for their opponnet, regarless of party.

In Ryno's Wrigley homecoming, Doc gets ball
Hall of Famer makes first trip to former home as Phils' interim manager
Ryne Sandberg spent nearly his entire 16-year Hall of Fame playing career with the Cubs and had openly wished to manage the team following his playing days.
Instead, on Friday, Sandberg will find himself in the visiting dugout in his return to the all-too-familiar Wrigley Field in what is still a bit of an unfamiliar role. Two weeks after being named the Phillies' interim skipper, Sandberg will lead his club into a three-game series that will open Friday with Roy Halladay squaring off against Cubs righty Jeff Samardzija.
Though many eyes will be on Halladay for his second start in his return from right shoulder surgery, it figures to be a memorable night for Sandberg, who spent 15 years playing on the North Side of Chicago. During his Hall of Fame career, Sandberg racked up 10 consecutive All-Star appearances from 1984-93, nine straight Gold Glove Awards ('83-91) and one National League MVP Award ('84).
"I'm sure he'll get a standing ovation," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "This guy is in the Hall of Fame. He's arguably the best second baseman to play the game, and he did it all in Chicago. It'll be a nice moment for him to come back, after getting his first job, and a couple weeks after he gets it, he comes to Chicago for the first time."
Following his playing days, Sandberg later returned to the Cubs' organization, managing for four years in the Minor Leagues, beginning at Class A Peoria in 2007. Though he hoped to land the Cubs' big league managerial job following the 2010 season, Chicago instead hired Mike Quade, who was dismissed after one season at the helm.
The Cubs then turned to Sveum, who had a very similar post-playing career path to that of Sandberg. Sveum also managed in the Minor Leagues and had aspirations to manage the Brewers, with whom he spent the bulk of his playing career. However, he was passed over by Milwaukee before ultimately landing his current gig.
"I don't think it's tough to get over," Sveum said. "It's just part of the game, and you understand the business part and how lucky it is to get one of these jobs. There's luck involved. There's a circulation of managers being let go. There's only 30 of these jobs and for newcomers to get one, it's hard to do."
Phillies: Halladay looks to build off last start
Halladay impressed in his unexpected return from the disabled list on Sunday, picking up a victory against the D-backs while allowing just two runs off four hits over six innings.
Originally expected to make a third rehab start for Double-A Reading on Sunday and make his long-awaited return from right shoulder surgery this weekend, Halladay's plans changed when Philadelphia needed a new starter following Saturday's 18-inning contest. In his first big league action in more than three months, Halladay said he felt like his old self; his fastball sat in the 87-89-mph range.
"I'm getting back to who I was," Halladay said. "I feel like each time out, I'm progressing back to where I was. There are going to be changes, and you always change over your career. But I think my arm slot is back to where it used to be. The movement is back to where it used to be. I can be more consistent with the location. Just from talking to the doctors, the velocity is the last thing to come."
The 36-year-old had struggled over the last two seasons, going 13-12 with a 5.24 ERA in 32 starts, including 2-4 with a 8.65 ERA in seven starts this year before undergoing surgery in May.
Cubs: Samardzija hopes to keep rolling
Samardzija on Friday will make his first start since earning co-NL Player of the Week honors following his two dominant outings last week. The righty tossed a complete game, limiting the Nationals to just one run on Aug. 19 before working eight solid innings in which he yielded just two runs on Saturday against the Padres.
"It's obviously well-deserved," Sveum said of Samardzija's first career weekly honor. "Those were two dominating starts that he had."
The 17 innings over two starts also helped push Samardzija closer to his goal of pitching at least 200 innings. In his second full season as a starter, he has pitched 176 1/3 innings, with an 8-11 record to go along with a 4.03 ERA.
Worth noting
• Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro is 7-for-14 (.500) lifetime against Halladay with one home run and four RBIs.
• Overall, Samardzija is 1-3 with a 12.82 ERA lifetime against Philadelphia. Though he limited the Phillies to three earned runs over 6 2/3 innings (4.05 ERA) in six relief appearances, he has been tagged for 16 earned runs over the same amount of innings (21.60 ERA) in his two starts against the Phils.
• The Phillies are 3-15 over their last 18 road games, dating back to July 20.

Fabulous pumpkin cookies, gluten-free + delicious. |
So today's post, Dear Reader, is brief and sweet. Just like the treat I baked this weekend when I began with the idea of a pumpkin cookie. I craved something different than my Pumpkin Pecan Cookies and my nutmeg icing drizzled Pumpkin Quinoa Cookies. I craved dark chocolate. And peanut butter. So I threw them in the bowl with pumpkin and coconut flour and, well.
There was a happy ending to the story.
The texture is a hybrid of peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. |
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Originally published October 2010.
A secret ingredient or two makes these wheat-free cookies special. I added subtle spices- not too much. I didn't want to overpower the medley of flavors in this unusual cookie.Ingredients:
1 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup organic coconut flour
1/2 cup potato starch or tapioca starch
1/4 cup almond flour or hazelnut flour
1 1/2 cups organic light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2/3 cup organic pumpkin puree (canned is fine)
1/2 cup organic cashew butter, peanut or almond butter
2 tablespoons organic canola oil or grapeseed oil
2 free range organic eggs, beaten (or Ener-G Egg Replacer for 2 eggs, mixed)
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or an Exopat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flours, starches, sugar, xanthan gum, leavening, and spices.
Add in the pumpkin puree, cashew butter, oil, eggs, vanilla extract.
Beat until the ingredients come together and form cookie dough. The dough should stick together when you pinch it. If it is too dry, add a teaspoon of warm water.
Add in the dark chocolate chips. Stir by hand until the chips are distributed.
Divide the dough into 18 pieces.
Using the palms of your hands, roll the 18 pieces of dough into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and press down lightly with your palm to slightly flatten the dough. Shape into a circle if you need to. Press on a few extra dark chocolate chips, if you like.
Bake in the center of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Cookies will be firm and slightly golden brown on the bottom. Don't over bake, as they will crisp up as they cool.
Cool cookies on a wire cooling rack.
Delicious warm and gooey with a glass of ice cold rice milk.
Makes 18 medium sized cookies.
Wrap leftover cookies in foil when cooled. Bag and store in the freezer for maximum freshness and an easy on-the-go snack.

GFG Notes:
This recipe has cashew/nut butter, coconut and nut flour, which some of you avoid. I can only suggest trying a safe-for-you brand of seed butter and your favorite flour blend as a substitute.
Note that changing the flours changes the texture and flavor of the recipe. So please taste test and adjust according to your preferences.
If you sub out the coconut flour, you may need less oil, as coconut flour grabs oil.
You can also add chopped walnuts, pecans, raisins or dried apricots for even more cookie fun.

RobinVancouver, BCHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairSecret WeaponI love this product for 2 reasons: 1. It protects my hair like it`s supposed to from all the bad crap I do to it (blowdry, straighten) & 2. It smells terrific. As an added bonus, my stylist tells me that it lasts 3-4 days, so no need to put more in the next day even after shampooing!

MarielNew York, NYKerastase Knows What You Need - Ciment Thermique Is A Heat Lover's Dream!If you use ANY type of heat on your hair, especially flat irons, this is a definite must. The smell is great (almost citrusy) but what it does in terms of adding protection, shine, and even a little bit of hold to your hair while blow-drying and flat ironing is to me unrivaled. I have chemically processed hair and use semi-permanent color so protecting during styling is critical. This and this alone does the trick for me. I'm on my second bottle in the same number of years - a little goes a long way. One point of advice though: use this AFTER you've combed a leave-in conditioner through your strands and have detangled with a comb. The proteins in this product can have a solidifying effect on any knots or tangles left in before blow-drying and trust me you don't want to have to pull your hair out to get them out.posted Aug 29, 2010Link to this post

Once you have completed the steps to obtain your F-1 or J-1 visa, make your personal travel arrangements and reserve a place to stay in New York. Learn more about living at NYU. Learn more about temporary housing options before you find a place to live.
Enter the United States no earlier than 30 days before and no later than the beginning date indicated on your I-20/ DS-2019. This is very important. While you may want to arrive sooner to find an apartment and prepare for school, U.S. law prohibits you from doing so. The only exception is for students who have transferred their SEVIS record from another school to NYU.
When you arrive at a port of entry to the U.S. you must present the following items:
There are three airports in the New York area:
Before arriving at the airport, you should have a plan for how you will travel from there to your final destination. There are many options for ground transportation, including taxis, car services, shuttle buses, subways, and trains.

This complete kit contains all the lighting products necessary to create stunning images at home or in the studio. The 2-hour long educational DVD covers everything from light setup and operation all the way to studio lighting for senior portraits, high-key, low-key and pet photography.
The Strobelite pairs the highest quality engineered components with a compact and lightweight outer shell offering power, precision and portability at an affordable price. This unit is packed with punch offering 300 effective watt seconds of power.
Lights can be adjusted from 1/4 to full power or anywhere in between. This broad range allows you to easily change output allowing as much (or as a little) light as you need. Choose to preview light patterns through the adjustable modeling lamp. This lamp can be set to adjust up and down as your power is adjusted allowing you to preview the intensity of the light falling onto your subject. There is also an additional option of keeping the modeling light on at full power regardless of adjustments or completely turned off.
Don't miss any action as recycle times run from 1 Ð 2.5 seconds. The higher the power, the longer the recycle time. The lower the power, the faster the recycle time. The long-range optical cell allows your lights to talk to one another and flash in sequence. This cell will automatically see the other lights so that all flashes are set off simultaneously. The included reflector helps direct the light forward as well as serves as a mount for accessories including barn doors and grids. An extra-long cord will make sure your light can reach nearby electrical sockets without the need for extra extension cords.
The included 43" shoot-through white umbrellas set up in seconds and diffuse light while providing a wide area of light coverage. The included light stands are both durable and lightweight. They can be adjusted up to 6.5'.

What I do
My work focuses have drastically changed as of mid-October 2011. I hope to eventually update this. I'm the Olivia Dunham of this shiznit! In the meantime, please follow my Second Life profile for updates.
I'm the Resident Enlightenment Manager on the Editorial Division of the Experience Design Team.
My job is to teach you how to get the most out of Second Life.
(But wait, there's more...)
- I've made 300+ Second Life video tutorials & promos which've gotten 6+ million total views. Visit our YouTube channel and subscribe!
- It thus becomes clear I nourish content creativity — I've made guides on making movies, taking snapshots, etc. which have helped thousands of Residents (many of which personally told me... thank you!).
- I contribute a lot to the Official Second Life Blogs, with 250+ posts made. Come see our Tips & Tricks!
- Related, I make frequent guest appearances on the forums to answer questions and demystify, well, mysteries.
- You can call me an uber-explorer and avid photographer of inworld beauty. Some of the cool places I visit get added to the Destination Guide.
- I do various artwork and design for official SL branding stuff, including login screens and Marketplace banner art. It's hard to stay away from neon watermelon colors. I try.
- Additionally, I specialize in connecting seemingly unrelated pieces together and not just observing, but sharing eclecticism that gets missed! Sharing cool content is a must.
- These are some of my free textures, also available on the Marketplace:
- Trivia: I've popularized usage of ways to do things in Second Life, like inventory-sorting and machinima-filming. I've also popularized numerous Second Life terms, including "Resi", "flexiprim", and "facelight". (But not "landbot". :p)
- Unofficially, I'm the Second Life Culture Minister.
- My SL profile says I'm interested in this stuff.
- All pronouns apply to me. Especially "we".
- Rumor has it I'm an AI. That's probably right.
Thanx for reading all those bullet points, now refresh your eyes with something awesome Brett Linden and I made:
Stuff I did:
- I was a highly active prime architect and lead contributor on this Wiki, with 2+ million views on pages I've started or substantially edited. I can still help when needed, but my focus has changed over time. You can see every edit I've made here.
- I was on the Documentation Team. I've also been on various incarnations of community-facing teams and I've worked on product management/development, quality assurance, user interface design, and so on. (I've never formally worked in marketing, but some Resis erroneously call me "Linden Lab PR". I'm just around a lot.)
- I wrote a lot of SL Viewer Help's previous generations.
- In 2009, I mined our info-pages for Message of The Day tips & promo links.
- I've been known to wax philosophical and positively motivate others. Emphasizing how Second Life can improve your First Life is definitely a fave topic.

text: In the kitchens of Morocco and North Africa, richly spiced charmoula is a traditional simmering sauce for poultry and fish. Our classic version of this savory red sauce was developed exclusively for us by Moroccan-born chef Mourad Lahlou, owner of San Francisco's award-winning Aziza restaurant. It incorporates a classic blend of tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, herbs and peppery spices. Traditionally used in tagines, charmoula also works well as a braising sauce for poultry, lamb, meatballs, fish and shrimp—or try it as a poaching sauce for eggs.

Flavorful Swiss Chard and Mushroom Squares will work for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. |
Chopped onions and minced garlic are sauteed in olive oil for a few minutes.
Then mushrooms are added and cooked with a bit of Tamari or soy sauce. When they're done remove the cooked mushroom mixture to a bowl.
I used a generous bunch of chard from my garden, but most every grocery store carries bunches of chard.
You can definitely bake this in a 9" x 13" casserole dish, but I thought it would be fun to make more defined "squares" by using this Mini Loaf Pan.
Bake the chard squares 35-40 minutes at 350F/180C.
And just for fun, here's the original photo from the version that I posted back in 2008!
Swiss Chard and Mushroom Squares (Updated Version)
(Makes 8 servings; recipe adapted from Regina Schrambling's Collard Squares from The Wednesday Chef.)
1 small onion, diced small
2 cloves garlic, finely minced (or use 2 tsp. minced garlic from a jar)
2 tsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 lb Baby Bella (Crimini) mushrooms, diced into small pieces (about 12 mushrooms)
1/2 tsp. soy sauce or Tamari
1 bunch swiss chard, stems cut out and cut into thin ribbons and then chopped (at least 4-6 cups chopped chard; can also use other greens)
3/4 cup grated low-fat Mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup Hemp Hearts (or can 100% whole wheat Panko crumbs)
8 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning
Add the sauteed chard to mushroom mixture; then add the grated cheese, beaten eggs, and Spike Seasoning and mix together. Spray Mini Loaf Pan or 9" X 13" inch glass or crockery casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. Pour in egg mixture.
Bake 35-40 minutes, until firmly set but not hard, and slightly browned. Let cool slightly, then cut into squares if using the casserole dish. Serve hot or at room temperature. This is good served with sour cream. Swiss Chard and Mushroom Squares will keep in the fridge for at least a week, and can be reheated in the microwave.

Jerome Russell's Punky Hair Color
RissySan Diego, CAHairBlackNormal HairColor Treated HairNothing Else Compares!I've only been using Punky to dye my hair funky colors since high school. Manic Panic always washes out and fades within a week, but when I leave Punky on for an hour or two and wash it out, I'll be damned if any of it will fade in two months. The reds and pinks are always super vibrant -- I haven't tried any other colors but a variety of the reds, but I just ordered lagoon blue, violet, and the bleaching kit, so I will be sure to update Folica on how AMAZING the blue turns out!posted Apr 30, 2012Link to this post
Dani J.United StatesHairCurly HairColor Treated HairGreat Crazy Hair Dye Though Likely To Stain EverythingPunky Color gives fantastic results, I used both Plum and Lagoon Blue, over top a recent, but awful Manic Panic purple dye job. My hair was a streaky midtone blue (I don't know, the purple turned blue), and even the light Lagoon Blue was vibrant over top, and Plum is the perfect purple, bright, vibrant, neither too light or too dark, it reminds me of crayola markers. I've even used it over my natural hair color (brown, medium brown), and was left with a stunning near black purple, that shone bright purple in the sun. I am thrilled with the results. That said, as much as I love the results from this dye on my hair, I am less thrilled with the results on my sink/skin. Firstly, follow the instruction about putting petroleum jelly around your hair line. And make sure you have some sort of cleaner with bleach in it for your sink and shower, or everything will be purple.posted Mar 30, 2012Link to this post
DesireeHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairIt Lasts! It's Vibrant! But There's A Downside...I have hair that's naturally really dark, on the edge of black. So I bleached it blonde. No biggie, done that before. I got a really bright and vibrant shade of blue-purple. Very cool. Downside though. Even with doing all the standard steps like rinsing till water ran clear - it STILL continues to run and rub off. I emphasize still because my hair which normally has issues with taking and keeping dye (even permanent dye tends to fade in my hair) still LOOKS blue-purple six months later (no, not exaggerating) though it has faded slightly so it's now perhaps more honest to say it's a purple-blue. However, even at six months, I can still see where it's running and rubbing off. Does that problem ever stop? Because even now if I see color running when I shampoo, I'll rinse until the water is clear.posted Mar 17, 2012Link to this post
SaraFloridaHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairVery Bright!If you're looking for dramatic and bright color, this stuff is amazing! I used their suggestions of using a shampoo (NO conditioner) and drying before applying. I did also use the foil and hair dryer tip. It's been 2 weeks and it's not even faded slightly, still extremely vibrant! It has a pleasant fruity scent in the jar also, nothing like typical all over hair color or lightener :D Bottom line, I love it and won't use anything else for my Punky Streaks! (I've used about 8 various colors)posted Mar 13, 2012Link to this post
AliciaHairDry HairChemically Treated HairTurquoiseI'm a bit upset with the outcome of the turquoise. My hair was already a very light turquoise, but I had used Manic Panic. Once it faded I decided to try out Punky Colors 'Turquoise' - It seems like this specific color relies on your hair having a yellow tint after bleaching ( which I didn't ) for the fact that my hair is now a dark electric blue. Not a single hint of green. I'm so sad about it because, i'm not a big fan of my hair being blue. Oh well... We'll see if it fades to a nicer color. Probably will not be buying this specific color again, however I will try out other colors they have because they are quite bold & vibrant.posted Mar 8, 2012Link to this post
RayleenHairBlackColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairPunky ColourI absolutely love this product. Not only do I achieve the look I want, it lasts and is very vibrant. This hair color is by far my favorite semi-permanent hair color and I plan to keep purchasing it for a long time.posted Mar 2, 2012Link to this post
Tabitha A.New YorkHairBlackDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairToo Bad...It's a real shame that the other reviewers were so right about this product. While it left my tight, kinky, coils soft as a baby's and a bright, vibrant shade of blue/black, it Never. Stopped. Bleeding. That means that even now, four weeks after coloring my hair, even the tiniest bit of moisture that touches it makes the color run. So I have a slight bluish tint all over my bathroom, any hair accessories that hafta come in contact with my wet (or even damp) hair, and my fingertips and nails get re-"dipped" almost every day.
(I am, however, gonna try and find out what they put in this stuff to make your hair so soft and then make up a batch to use at home as conditioner!)posted Feb 24, 2012Link to this post -
RhondaHairWhiteCurly HairCouldn't Believe It!!i have used at least 3 colors including lie locks , which i love, and they came out great. color stayed twice as long as manic panic......i have white hair....took ebony to my stylist today for some streaks & a haircut. she did everything the same way she always does,,,,,and when it was rinsed off with cold water ( same as always) IT WAS GREEN!!!! none of the stylists could believe it....didn't know what we were going to do.....she used manic panic and it covered it. hoping when this starts to fade it doesn't fade to the green underneath...my hair is now naturally white started turning grey early and the colors have been beautiful,TILL NOW...posted Feb 9, 2012Link to this post
RoxannHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairLove My Punky ColorI've been using punky color for over 6 years, it has never once failed me and has always last 2 - 3 months in my hair (bleached) , ive also used a few other brands but they all suck compared to punky color i can honestly tell u that.. I have used almosty every color they have and have loved all off them.. My favorite is putting two similar colors one on top of the other i like to use flamingo pink(on bottom) and rose red or purple (on top). Also punky color makes your hair soft and shiny! always turns out awesome on everybody ive seen. i currently have rose red in my hair and am going to do a blue one next... i love the color so much that i think i might just do all of my hair! RECOMENDED OVER ANY OTHER BRAND!posted Jan 22, 2012Link to this post
CarrieHairDark BrownColor Treated HairBest Dye I've Ever UsedI've used the expensive brands and the cheap ones, and Punky Color outperforms them all by a long shot. It's super inexpensive and you get a great variety of colours for next to nothing in the cash moneys department. The colour is easy to apply, easy to wash out, lasts a super long time. It even smells nice. Which I don't understand at all, but, whatever. Post-dye, my hair is always super nice and shiny, which is super duper. It lasts the longest out of any dye I've ever used and you can dye on top of other colours to create a totally unique look, which I think is extraordinary. I highly recommend this dye, as well as the associated bleach kit that is sold on this website. I've always used them in conjunction and had nothing but the best results. Favourites include Violet (my #1 favourite. It looks AMAZING. Every single time), Flamingo Pink, Midnight Blue, and Fire.posted Jan 15, 2012Link to this post

Buying an illuminated white background for high-key lighting (or to use as a giant softbox) can set you back hundreds of dollars. Fortunately, you can create something similar on the cheap using simple white bedsheets, some PVC pipes, and some lights. Assemble the PVC pipes into a square frame, stretch the bedsheet over the frame, and illuminate the bedsheet from behind. You'll want to blow out the white area on the street for evenly white lighting. Check out the full build tutorial over on DIYPhotography.

P.S. You can also try sticking a bedsheet over a window or doorway to get a sunlit softbox. Thanks Jeremiah!.

In our third installment of a Full Case of Tales, we challenged the All Night Express (Kenny King and Rhett Titus) to top our previous "Full Case of Tales" projects with the Natural and Terry Funk/Harley Race. This was filmed in May 2012, just a few weeks before the duo won the ROH Tag Team Championships for the first time and before Kenny King was fired by ROH because of his appearance on TNA Impact.
This DVD features nearly 3 hours of stories from the ANX as well as several of their matches while they worked for PWX that weekend.

The lake is identified as Methodist Lake as it's next to the church but is a county lake also very close to Wal-Mart.
from the South, I-95, exit 3, : Loop around the ramp in the left lane, turn left, in 2.1 miles, at the Wallgreen store on the left, left lane, turn left. King's Bay Road, then at 2.4 miles turn left onto a dirt road, go to the end at the lake.
From the North, exit 3, turn left and follow above instructions.
Notes: after making the left onto King's Bay road the next left is soon about a long block. If you pass through a light you went too far, loop back.
Gas stations to the right or West are usually a penny or so less expensive than the ones to the East of I-95.

The new trailers for Star Trek Into Darkness:
I liked watching them.
The new trailers for Star Trek Into Darkness:
I liked watching them.
GI Joe is only less mistreaded than TF because the brand is currently in a period of less exposure, it's got nowhere to fall at this point. I had hopes for GI Joe 2 despite the director's limp resume because he actually put real GI Joe vehicles into the film, but then the movie gets shelved and they cast Bruce Willis as General GI Joe himself.
Tell me what any New Coke Trek characters' motivations were. What's Spock's motivation for condemning cadet Kirk to death? What's Kirk's motivation for working to change the test and then blatantly show off that he's cheating? What's the villain's motivation for... ANYTHING???
Not a ripoff of SW? Villain has a planet-killing spaceship, destroys one of the heroes' home planets before finale of villain's spaceship hunting down heroes' home base. Hero is downtrodden farmboy with no hope of going anywhere and then magically given a leg up by a wise older important man who just happened to know hero's father and of father's death, and keeps coming back to give sage advice to the brash hero. There's the whole Hoth planet aspect. Sulu's switchbladed molucule sword is a total wannabe lightsaber. All the other good guy ships are destroyed except Kirk's. Kirk saves the day by ignoring the plan and instead following the force of his instincts because his father had good and noble instincts. The movie ends on a big medal ceremony.
Well, that was Bane-tastic.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
"In Brooklyn, a castle, is where dwell I"
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Anyone seen the TRU Hot Spot? I've found everyone else I wanted (and hate that they're TRU exclusives, since that Megatron is such a shelfwarmer I could get him for $5 at the end of the month if he were at any other store), but no sign of him.
Tommy, close your eyes.
HUGE thanks to Figrin Bran for the MM Alfred tip. Order was placed and should be here in a week. The Bat Signal will be complete...
I found 3 Voyager Ultra Magnuses at a WalMart in a lower income area. It was appropriate for me since with my creative projects costing me a fortune, I am lower income. However, they wanted $32 for a Voyager figure.
I took a good look and might pull the trigger later, but for right now I left him.
I think I CAN use an Ultra Magnus Voyager, but I'm not sure about putting a Prime figure with Generations / Classics figures (Springer Voy) Rodimus (Del).
For me, the above grouping would also require the NOT MADE Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge Voyagers, but that Masterpiece Grimlock (I never bought) might work with the scale for this crowd. Still, I could wait for some kind of Generations / Classics Magnus and I did pay someting like $80-90 for the Titanium (transforming) one and I could just wait until I had $100 for Transformers again, and buy another Titanium.

Glad I could help! The one downside of that Bat Signal is that it shuts itself off after about 15 seconds.
Chux, I saw (and bought) Hot Spot only once. And that was on Black Friday too.
Tycho, TF Prime Voyager Ultra Magnus is 21.99 at Target, 26.99 at TRU so I'm not sure why it should be 32 at WM? I think he looks great with Springer and Rodimus and TF Animated Arcee. I can take a photo of that group when I open up my Springer. And if we're talking about the same Titanium Magnus, that along with Titanium Soundwave are the worst transformers that I own.

All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
Burbank Target had the Class I Fleet Republic Attack Dropship last night, I bought it. It's not terrible, but it's so small that it's essentially a coffin for the pilot inside, in flat flight configuration he's lying on his back looking straight up. The drop-backpacks are well-armed and split apart so the non-included figures could just walk away from each other and start shooting. Everything has a decent sculpt, and the vehicle overall cribs its looks from the Republic Gunship. So it's alright but not great, not something collectors should work hard to hunt down, it's just a little support vehicle.

Amazon has several TVC figures from the final wave listed as $3.25 "Add-Ons." I picked up a few Naboo Pilots and Gungan Warriors.

This appendix contains information on how to make sure you can install or upgrade woody packages before you upgrade to sarge. This should only be necessary in specific situations.
Basically this is no different than any other upgrade of woody you've been doing. The only difference is that you first need to make sure your package list still contains woody packages as explained in Checking your sources list, Section B.2.
If any of the lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list
refer to
'stable', you are effectively already "using" sarge. If you have
already run apt-get update, you can still get back without
problems following the procedure below.
If you have also already installed packages from sarge, there probably is not much point in installing packages from woody anymore. In that case you will have to decide for yourself whether you want to continue or not. It is possible to downgrade packages, but that is not covered here.
Open the file /etc/apt/sources.list
with your favorite editor (as
root) and check all lines beginning with deb http: or deb
ftp: for a reference to "stable". If you find
any, change stable to woody.
If you have any lines starting with deb file:, you will have to check for yourself if the location they refer to contains a woody or a sarge archive.
Important! Do not change any lines that begin with deb
cdrom:. Doing so would invalidate the line and you would have to run
again. Do not be alarmed if a 'cdrom' source line
refers to "unstable". Although confusing, this is
If you've made any changes, save the file and execute
# apt-get update
to refresh the package list.

Airlines might claim the seats in their planes are designed to maximize passenger comfort, but that always plays second fiddle to capacity. If squeezing you in gives them enough room to add another body, you better believe they won't mind cramping passengers. So who would want to drop over $2,000 on a living room chair designed by someone responsible for those awful airline seats?
The Flight Recliner does possess a beautiful minimalist aesthetic and a simple reclining mechanism that minimizes the chair's footprint. But it was partly designed by Jeffrey Bernett, who was also responsible for the in-flight seating in Northwest Airlines' economy class. The recliner is obviously a bit larger than the seats you'll find on a plane, but their design will probably never be considered a comfy place to sit. So we're not really sure who'd be willing to drop two grand on one of these. Would you? [Design Within Reach via The Awesomer via Gear Patrol]

Jean Paul Gaultier's retrospective of his 40-plus years of fashion design would have been breathtaking even without bizarre talking mannequins. Gaultier himself greeted guests to a press preview party of the exhibit, open at San Francisco's de Young Museum from March 24 through August 19.
But it was the mannequins—chatting, chanting, reciting poetry—that struck awe in the crowd, and not just because several were wearing the signature cone brassier that Gaultier famously fitted on Madonna during her 1990 Blond Ambition tour. Video projections cast faces onto the mannequins, which were created by Denis Marleau and Stephanie Jasmin of UBU Compagnie de Creation during the retrospective's first stop in Montreal last fall. The technology took the exhibit to another level, but it's not necessarily what drives the enfant terrible behind "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk."
As Gaultier told Refinery 29, he's not a techie dude:
I have an iPhone, but only to send texts. I don't like that if someone is phoning me, I will be disturbed. I cannot do two things at one time. I have no iPod...I'm too distracted. Now, images are everywhere and I love it, but there are almost too many images. When I watch TV, I can just keep zapping all the time! But I don't want to be that excited. Even the Internet. It's just non-stop. I like to think alone with my brain and not over-communicate.
So where do Gaultier's passions lie? Well, there's the cone bra, a motif seen throughout the exhibit. In fact, Gaultier has been making cone bras since he was six years old, starting with on for his teddy bear, Nana.
After San Francisco, the show heads to the Fundación Mapfre - Instituto de Cultura, in Madrid, Spain, for September 26 through November 18, 2012. If you're in either city, pay a visit—the show is a must-see whether you're a fashion enthusiast or you just want to hear a mannequin belt out a Gregorian chant.

Looking for Audiophile Headphones?
Start shoppingVideo: Sennheiser HD 700 Headphones
Sennheiser's HD 700 headphones are a high-end set, offering pristine sound quality and extreme comfort..
Hi. Eric with Sennheiser. I'm here at Crutchfield talking audiophile headphones. And we're here to take a closer look at the brand new HD 700.
The HD 700 is an open-air audiophile headphone designed to utilize and get the most out of your high-definition audio and video sources. If you want to get as close to your music as possible, this is the way to do it. It's got a ported design that allows sound waves to expand and contract, and thus the representation of the sound is much like sitting in a pair of, a set of finely-tuned loudspeakers.
Now the HD 700 also features a ventilated magnet system. This ventilated magnet system manages airflow away from the back side of the transducer, and away from the magnet. Thus, it prevents turbulence from occurring within the ear cavity.
The frame is of special note as well. This headphone frame is a vibration-damping design. There's several different layers of materials designed to act as a shock absorber. When the transducer reproduces sound, there are vibrations that are occurring, but stopping at the headband. It prevents cross-talk between the two ear cups.
The sound of the HD 700 — warm, balanced, punchy, but still very razor-sharp in terms of detail. The soundstage is very wide as well, thanks to the angled transducers. If you'll notice the ear cups, inside of them is a transducer and that is tilted at a slight angle. What that does is it mimics sitting in front of a set of loudspeakers, so you get a very nice spatial response and wide stereo image.
The cable itself is detachable making for easy detangling but also upgrades and exchanges. And there's a ten-foot lead that terminates into a ¼" plug. This is great to connect into an A/V receiver or dedicated headphone amplifier. The transducer on the HD 700 is also very easy to drive. It's a 150 ohm impedance rating, so you can get ample volume and accuracy out of an A/V receiver or the aforementioned dedicated headphone amplifier. It all fits inside this deluxe storage box to protect the headphones when not in use.
So there you have it, the HD 700, available from Crutchfield. Thanks for checking it out.

First one is a C7 ammo pouch for the 82 pattern Canadian webbing.
Not sure on the second or third
Fourth seems to be 82 pattern webbing for Sterling SMG mags, before it was taken out of service a few years later.
Below are pictures of a couple of items that I have never seen before. could you ID these and tell me if it's an as-common-as-muck item or rare as rocking horse poo? Right, without further ado:
plastic buckle
rear of the pouch above
The inside of the same pouch
Bandolier with an odd closure
First one is a C7 ammo pouch for the 82 pattern Canadian webbing.
Not sure on the second or third
Fourth seems to be 82 pattern webbing for Sterling SMG mags, before it was taken out of service a few years later.
Cool, common as much then...
item 2 is a UK .303, 50 round / 5-clip bandoleer. They were manufactured with button, press-stud or these wire hook fasteners.
item 3 looks to be a US M1923 M1 Garand cartridge belt, normally 2 of these 5-pocket belts worn on belt kit.
item 4 is possibly a variant of a UK 1937 Pattern mag pouch for a Browning/ Colt type automatic pistol, but I cant find pics of this particular type anywhere.
hope that's a help.
Great help. As for number four, I cant find any pictures either... Do you think there would be interest in any of the above by a collector?
And on that note, I came across this:
http://www.karkeeweb.com/patterns/of..._carriers.html""This was for revolver ammunition and took the form of the Patt. '19 W.E. design. The belt hooks were sandwiched between the folded, two layers of webbing, the ****gs protruding directly through the weave of the material. In 1932, A.M.O. A.44 authorised a change, to be incorporated into existing Pouches by modification, with new production being of the revised form. A guard *****, 1-inch wide, in thin webbing, was to be stitched to the forward edge and sides of the pouch. This was to obviate the loss of loose rounds, when the flap was open. The example shown here is maker marked M.E. Co. and date 1939. From the Karkee Web Collection.""
do you think anyone would be interested in that at all? Or in a 44' Machete/Golok for that matter?
Last edited by kayaker; 12-17-2012 at 10:48 AM.
Like simple jumper said the first pouch is a 82 pattern webbing C7 magazine pouch, or possible a C1 magazine pouch. 4 is a Canadian 82 pattern webbing Sten magazine pouch, without a doubt.
Not sure how much interest there is in Canadian 82 pattern webbing, but I`m sure some people do collect it. 82 pattern webbing is pretty common(sten pouch would be less common) in surplus stores across Canada.
Number 3 is half of a US M1923 Dismounted riflemans cartridge belt and its unserviceable as the adjustment buckle at the rear is missing.

Saints get back to .500 with 38-17 win vs. Raiders
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
For a team whose recent history includes a Super Bowl title and playoff runs, reaching.500 midway through November would seem like a modest goal.
After the way this season started for the New Orleans Saints, it was a cause for celebration.
Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes and Malcolm Jenkins returned an interception for another score to help the Saints get back to even after an 0-4 start by beating the Oakland Raiders 38-17 on Sunday.
''It's been a journey,'' said tight end Jimmy Graham, who caught Brees' first TD pass. ''It's been an uphill battle to be .500. I never thought I'd be so happy to be .500 in my entire career. We're excited because things are moving the right way for us.''
Lance Moore caught two touchdown passes and Mark Ingram ran for a score as the Saints (5-5) won for the fifth time in six games and are in position to make a late-season playoff run despite the season-long distraction from the bounty scandal.
Getting back to even was just the first step. New Orleans' next three games come against teams currently in first place, starting with a home game next week against the Bay Area's other team, the San Francisco 49ers, followed by games against Atlanta and the New York Giants.
''We're on our way,'' Brees said. ''Had you told us or anybody after 0-4 we'd be looking at 5-5 at some point, I think a lot of people might have looked at that and said that's pretty unrealistic. But here we are. We stayed the course, we didn't overreact. ... We just knew that things were going to turn for us if we just continued to do things the right way, good things were going to happen. And we did that.''
The Raiders (3-7) lost their third straight game under first-year coach Dennis Allen as their banged-up defense got picked apart by Brees' precision passing. Oakland has allowed 135 points in those defeats - the most in a three-game span for the franchise since allowing 141 in the first three games in 1961.
Owner Mark Davis made a rare appearance in the locker room after the game and said he wasn't happy with what he has seen the last few weeks.
''I'm patient. But I want to see progress,'' he said. ''I don't want to see regression. Nobody does. And that's why I'm unhappy today.''
Carson Palmer threw one interception that was returned for a score and another in the end zone, the Raiders left receivers open all day and Oakland struggled to tackle in another thorough beating. The Raiders have been outscored by 56 points the past two games.
The Saints did just about everything starting with an efficient opening drive by Brees that set the tone for the game. Brees finished 20 for 27 for 219 yards, extending his own records by throwing a touchdown in his 53rd straight game and completing 20 passes for the 46th straight game.
Even New Orleans' much-maligned defense got into the act. The Saints got the two big turnovers in the first half that got the blowout started and held Oakland to one touchdown until garbage time.
''I feel better than where we were,'' said safety Roman Harper, who had the interception in the end zone. ''We're making plays now. We're making turnovers, we're making big plays. We're not allowing big plays.
Vitt's biggest complaints were the 11 penalties for 109 yards, including a celebration call on Jenkins and Harper after an interception and a taunting penalty on Ingram after his score.
The only bright spot for the Raiders was fullback Marcel Reece, who rushed for 103 yards and added 90 yards receiving as he started at halfback in place of injured Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson.
Brees broke open a close game late in the first half when he found Moore all alone in the end zone behind Michael Huff and fill-in safety Mike Mitchell for a 38-yard touchdown pass in the final minute of the first half to make it 21-7.
Travaris Cadet then returned the second-half kickoff 75 yards and Ingram ran it in from the 27 on the next play and the rout was on. Brees and Moore connected one more time in third quarter to make it 35-10.
''It doesn't make you feel good,'' Allen said. ''I know we're better than that, and I know we can play better than that. And we'll continue to work, and we'll get better.''
NOTES: Brees has won his last seven starts against the Raiders with 16 touchdowns and no interceptions. ... The Raiders failed to score in the final 2 minutes of the first half for the first time this season. ... Former Raiders coach Jon Gruden lit the torch honoring late Oakland owner Al Davis.
