It was a dramatic scene in the Senate this week. As Sen. Elizabeth Warren, presiding, announced the defeat of the Keystone XL pipeline, a Crow Creek Sioux man from South Dakota sang out in the Senate gallery. A massive people's climate movement against extracting some of the dirtiest oil on the planet had prevailed ... at least for now.

Tacha is what you would call an experienced model, and it shows.
SHE LIVES in Cordoba with her boyfriend but regularly travels to Buenos Aires to work with the regions top photographers, fashion designers, and advertisers. She was referred to Petter Hegre through a mutual friend and having been familiar with his work, agreed to do a shoot if he should ever happen to visit South America.
With over five years of experience posing nude, Tacha is comfortable showing off her body to the camera and enjoys it when the opportunity to bring out her sensual side arises. Tacha is lively, hard working, and understands that though photo shoots are a lot of fun, they are incredibly rigorous and physically draining as well.
Tacha endures it all with a smile and a peppy attitude, taking pride in her ability to help a photographer get the best image possible.
|Fernando García Martínez Spain
Tacha white Beautiful Tacha! I hope see her many times in the future. Thank you.
|Pete United Kingdom
Tacha Pretty, girl next door look!

|David United States
Hotel Fanny Be it the British or American definition, I definitely would love to check in! Tacha, you are a ravishing beauty. Thank you so much for sharing. You know how to make love to the camera, and we love you right back. Your perfect body with all its precious parts is so far beyond all I could wish for in a woman, you take my breath away. But that face, that raven black hair, those devastating eyes, I'm in love and in fear of you. Every pout, smile, and blank stare you make cuts through to my soul. You're an amazing model, and a Goddess among mortals, thanks again. Petter, thank you for capturing the splendor of this siren, you do great work, it brings me joy.
|timatits United States
Tasha + a Chair = Fantastic After only few months of enjoying this site one of the things I notice is that Petter Hegre.s favorite prop is a singular chair. The chairs may be ornate or plain or anywhere in-between and Petter always lets us see the model in positions that are diverse but natural. No model brings out the beauty and sensuality of the female as Tasha. This is the second time in a row that Tasha is in a chair; and for the second time in a row Petter moves her about so that we see the many shapes her nude body can take. Her body is perfect for such a series as it reshapes itself constantly into new erotic positions. Her face is distinctive, almost Greek. Her nipples are (as in every set of her photographs) as tight and hard as any stimulated woman's can be. Her breasts are large enough to assume different shapes as she moves but small enough that they do not overwhelm the composition. Her figure is proportioned perfectly. Her labia are in full flower, if a bit dry looking. And it is the chair that brings all of these out as it allows her to rotate her body and let Petter's camera highlight each feature. Tasha is a creature to lust over and in this series (as in her prior ones) it is impossible not to.

Tacha 70's Setting Congratulations on another great set Petter! Tacha is stunning and it's a privilage to see her totally nude! She posseses a hot body with a pair of sexy feet. Some really nice poses in this set, I especially appreciate image58, a classic pose which shows off the bottoms of those very pretty feet quite nicely! A job well done and keep up the splendid work!!!

Tacha Tacha is a very pretty girl with adorable tits and a really sexy body so I would like to see alot more of her, and next time Id like to see her smile!
|qw Italy
Tacha is very nice, but why have you desappeared?
|ben United States
this gallery though lacking in imagination does however, exhibit tacha's svelt and well proportioned body. Her eyes, well, lets say it reminds me of the well know phrase "Still waters run deep" Definately deserves more!!!
|ben United States
Tacha lets see... to avoid going into detail.. nice model but work looks like techically very good but the work of both the model and the photographer seems (to me that is) uninspired. would I like to see additional shoots sure.. rated gallery a 5 (low) because it think tacha is an action hero.. dang it i promised myself to stop thinking and injoy.. well i did enjoy so there!
|Pete United Kingdom
Uninspired Tacha is a lovely girl, but I agree there is little emotion in the pictures. The problem is that Petter finds dome absolutely charming models, Yanna, Caro, Joyce, Olga, and Antonina. Tacha is great looking but does not quite work the camera like they do and of course the studio setting rather than an exotic location does not help. So more of Tacha on the beach or at some grand stately home?
|robby United States
why the hell is she wearing those stupid boots!!!
|BaX United States
Unshaved Tacha is a real beauty. But I would love to see her unshaved.

|BeanieBoy United States
Tacha's Too Much!!! Never ever before have I seen such a mind boggling mix of "innocense" and sexiness, all tucked neatly into a splendidly tight and tidy body. Tacha could burn a hole through steel with those eyes. And any one would probably never see the light of day again if they were to start kissing and nibbling that tummy of hers! Hope to see much more Tacha!

Written by Matthew A. Piacentini Friday, 06 August 2010 00:00
It became official last week that the MTA plans to cut its funding to Long Island Bus, a move that will effectively eliminate all bus service to over 100,000 Nassau County residents who rely on it daily. A war of words between Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano and the MTA has now escalated to a legal battle, with the county filing suit over the controversial MTA employer payroll tax.
"I will not stand by and allow the MTA to eliminate service to the people of Nassau County," announced Mangano. "This is the first of many steps we will take to fight the MTA on behalf of the 30 million riders who rely on bus service to get to their jobs, visit their doctors and live their lives."
Nassau County owns the LI Bus system, but since its inception in 1973, the MTA has operated it and contributed to its funding, along with the state and the county. Since 2000, the county has drastically reduced its own contribution to the system. With the MTA subsequently paying millions extra each year, the authority finally said no, taking LI Bus support out of its financial plan for 2010 and beyond. The subsidy has become an amount that the transit authority says it can no longer afford as it works to reduce its own $800 million deficit.
Regarding Nassau's suit and its refusal to pay more to support busing, MTA spokesperson Kevin B. Ortiz told Anton Community Newspapers, "It's a shame that Nassau County is using this lawsuit to distract attention from its failure to fund its bus system."
He was clear that the MTA points to the responsibility of the county, adding, "Nassau County employs MTA Long Island Bus to operate… as a contractor. Since 1999, the county has not lived up to its obligation to fund this service. The preliminary MTA budget presented on Wednesday assumes the county will live up to its full obligation in the future."
Separate from busing, New York State created a highly contested employer payroll tax to help pay for the MTA to dig out of its financial troubles. Local governments and businesses have protested that the tax is unfair. Now, in the wake of the bus fight, the county is officially attacking this tax in court, claiming it is unconstitutional.
Mangano said, "The MTA instituted this job-killing, oppressive tax last year for no other reason than to grab more money to fund their bloated bureaucracy. Clearly, the millions of dollars that Nassau's businesses have handed over to the MTA have not been used for the benefit of the public."
The county executive said that Nassau County has paid approximately $3 million since the implementation of the MTA payroll tax. "We want our money back," said Mangano.
The county's lawsuit challenges the legality and constitutionality of the MTA employer payroll tax, and claims that it unfairly targets Nassau County.
The MTA has responded that, "The [New York State] Legislature (not the MTA) determines how taxes are levied." Adding, "Like other state dedicated taxes, the [tax] provides critical funding for all parts of the MTA system, including the LIRR, which is heavily used by Nassau County residents. It is paid to the state by employers in 12 counties."
As the lawsuit unfolds, Michael Martino, Mangano's press secretary, told Anton Community Newspapers that representatives from the county are still trying to create some compromise with the MTA. They also are trying to determine if the buses could be operated by a private contractor.
"The county will continue to look at privatization while exploring a way to work with the MTA," he said.
The mass transit advocacy group The Tri-State Transportation Campaign has been speaking out on behalf of bus riders. Veronica Venterpool, associate director at the organization, said that the group neither supports the MTA's cuts or the county's proposal to privatize.
"Both are extremely hasty," she said. "The MTA is proposing cutting one third of LI Bus's operating budget. This will decimate the system. And as far as privatization, there are inherent flaws. The reason the private lines consolidated in 1973 is because the systems weren't working well. To go back to that will just open up all the same problems."
Venterpool shared an interesting note – her group found that the MTA's 2010-14 plan, which includes these bus cuts, also provides $13 million for a series of studies, one of which is on regional bus service.
"We are calling for the MTA to continue with its regional bus study," she said. "We think it is hasty to pull its financial contribution prior to finishing the study."

Taking care of your teeth and gums isn't just about preventing cavities or bad breath. The mouth is a gateway into your body's overall health. And since gum disease and other health problems may be linked, brushing and flossing are more important than ever. See your dentist regularly to keep your smile, and yourself, healthy.
Thanks to good oral health habits, more adults are keeping their natural teeth their entire lives. The key is prevention. The unique dental needs of senior adults include a vital connection between a healthy body and a healthy mouth. Don't neglect your oral health. It's an important part of being Mouth Healthy for Life.
Did you know almost 42,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral and throat cancers this year? And that the 5-year survival rate of those diagnosed is only slightly more than 64 percent? When cancer is detected and treated early, treatment-related health problems are reduced.
The oral cavity includes your lips, cheek lining, gums, front part of your tongue, floor of the mouth beneath the tongue and the hard palate that makes up the roof of your mouth. The throat (pharynx) starts at the soft part of the roof of your mouth and continues back into your throat. It includes the back section of your tongue as well as the base where the tongue attaches to the floor of your mouth.
During your dental visit, your dentist can talk to you about your health history and examine these areas for signs of mouth and/or throat cancer. The screening will consist of a visual inspection of the mouth and palpation of the jaw and neck. Regular visits to your dentist can improve the chances that any suspicious changes in your oral health will be caught early, at a time when cancer can be treated more easily. In between visits, it's important to be aware of the following signs and symptoms and to see your dentist if they do not disappear after two weeks.
Research has identified a number of factors that contribute to the development of mouth and throat cancers. Smokers and excessive alcohol drinkers older than 50 are the most at risk. More recently, the human papilloma virus (HPV), which is sexually transmitted, has been associated with cancers of the oropharyngeal region that is the part of the throat at the back of the mouth. HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers are related to the increasing incidence of throat cancers in non-smoking adults.
HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers typically develop in the throat at the base of the tongue and near or on the tonsils making them difficult to detect. Although HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers are often diagnosed at a later stage, people with HPV-positive cancers have a lower risk of dying or having recurrence than those with HPV-negative cancers. It is likely that there is a complex interaction of many external and internal factors that play a role in the development of HPV-positive cancers.

Thanks Andrea!
I'll go check my PM box now.
See you on Wednesday!
Andrea, I am sign up for the November PSCS3 Advanced #2. The link you sent me comes here.Is there a link to the Advanced #2 classes yet?
Dancing puts a smile in your feet.
hi Andrea
i have signed up for the intermediate class for november (even though I am still finishing up the beginner one). Haven't had an email though. I have to admit that I didn't like having everything sent at once, it was a recipe for me not getting through it all. I definitely prefer a lesson at a time.
Hi Andrea, I was wondering if I can still submit Homework to the gallery for marking. I signed up for the November class but only submitted three lots of homework due to my son being ill.
I would like to finish this so I can go on to the next level. Please could you let me know if this is ok or was there a time limit to the course???

So i have the red sword of courage and just won the slayer of lifeless in 10 man nax. they are very similliar in stats except i gain more dodge with slayer but i lose hit and defense goes down so i lose some avoidance even tho im over capped. Heres my armory
The World of Warcraft Armory
which one should i use?
I wouldn't just keep one weapon that you use all the time. Since the courage has hit, it will in the long run increase your TPS, if you see on some fights you have problems with threat, swap to your courage. If your healers are having problems keeping you up on a certain fight, use slayer. Slayer is actually .10 faster than courage, but i believe the extra hit on courage in the long run is more TPS.
Vendor your Red Sword. Use Slayer.
My Armory ---> http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&n=Mackmustard
Altho i think i will keep it like purplz says and use it in different scenarios. ty for the responses
btw, kataztrophe, i ran nax with u once in a pug group. didnt know anyone from my server used this site. hows it hangin lol
So after 15 runs of H UP I finally get my Red Sword. And then the next night Slayer drops and I win the roll. So, what do I do?! I'm keeping Red Sword for my threat set with Titanium Weapon Chain + the high hit rating, and Slayer for my avoidance set, with +26 agil and the +dodge on Slayer. Not sure if that's best but after all that effort I'm not just gonna vendor Red Sword :P

My Armory ---> http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&n=Mackmustard
Slayer's higher avoidance and faster swing make it really nice for high rage fights. IE bosses who are beating the crap out of you .
It's probably a marginal difference, but since you have both that's how I'd look at it.
PS. Slayer of the Lifeless is a sweet looking sword
definitely keep both and use them in different situations for different sets. also, as you upgrade your gear you might find yourself needing the extra defense on the red sword from time to time.
if you have both DW ftw...shields are for wussies
on a quick side note, i was watching the wow south park episode and saw the sword of a thousand truths and was like "wtf! thats the slayer of the lifeless!" Its completly identical lol so i guess this means im no longer a noob :P
The Hungering Cold - Item - World of Warcraft. They reused the graphic for the Slayer of the Lifeless
Why use big words when a diminutive alternative will suffice?
I have both and I much prefer slayer of the lifeless.. Although both look equally cool I am a big fan of swords that go on your back and an even bigger fan of swords with the exact same model as frostmourne... (QQ?)
BTW why is that? If I got a kara sword that looked like the warglaives i'd have murdered someone.
"how do you kill one which has no life.. "
"who fortold this prophecy?
salzman.. he's from accounting. "
i have both as well, and prefer to use the slayer threat is fine for me, and the extra advoidence helps more.. even thou i lose like 11hp.. plus i like ballin around with the sword of 1000 truf's
This seems like the old Sun Eater vs King's Defender type situation from tbc. Definetly keep both since one has more avoidance whereas other is better for threat.
You're killing me. I can't get either of these swords to drop. I do Pinnacle just about every day and Naxx every week. I'm still sporting the Infantry Assault Blade. Yesterday I took this mage with me to Pinnacle that swore the Red Sword ALWAYS drops when he runs it. He bet me 20 gold that it would drop. So at least I made 20 gold for that run.
Two pally tanks in my guild both got the Red Sword on their first runs of Pinnacle. No fair. I've run it at least 15 times now. Cleared 10 man Naxx 6 times. QQQ cry cry cry
I feel better now.
I looked more closely at the weapon stats and it seems your right. The Red Sword only has .2% more hit and 2 def in its favour, whereas the Slayer has another .66% dodge as well. Disregard what I said above.
Slayer is faster and the disparity between the stats is not enough to cancel out the faster swing speed. Slayer of the lifeless is superiour.
EDIT: Also looks cooler
Last edited by Rhyseh; 02-02-2009 at 09:11 PM.
Slayer displays on your back. End of debate.
Playing a warrior tank well is its own reward.
