Description: Please Comment/Subscribe/Rate/Add as Friend for the next chapter
Nick and Tuyen are on the way to the airport and going to Hawaii for their vacation and when they get there they go to their beach house they rented for the week.
Nick: This place is so quiet and peaceful.
Tuyen: I wish I lived here. Just me and you.
Nick: Me to. Let's go get dressed and go eat.
Tuyen: Alright. Dressy or Casual.
Nick: Dressy.
Tuyen: Alright.
They both go get ready and go to a fancy restaurant to eat. (A/N: Tuyen is wearing a dress that stops midthigh and spagetti strap.)
They are done eating and Nick lead her to the beach and there was a table in between three big rocks that looked like a wall so people can't see them.
Tuyen:What is this?
Nick: It desert time.
Tuyen: Nick this so nice.
(A/N: there is a blanket on the ground with strawberries and grapes and ect.)
They are feeding each other and Tuyen decided she would throw grapes at Nick.
Nick:Hey. That is not nice.
Tuyen: Who said I was nice.
Nick:You're going to get it. *tackles her and tickles her*
Tuyen: Nick....st-stop....
Nick: Nope.
Tuyen:*grabs a hold of his arms and flips him.*
Nick: I'm liking this position.
(A/N: Tuyen is straddling Nick and her hand is laced with his.)
Tuyen:Oh shut up and kiss me.
Nick: No problem.
Nick is about to kiss Tuyen when Tuyen pulls away and sits next to him.
Tuyen:*laughing*
Nick: You tease.
Tuyen:I'm just having a little fun.
Nick sits up and grabs her neck and collides his lips onto hers. They start making out and Nick is pulling her straps off her shoulders. Tuyen pulls away.
Tuyen: I think if we're going to do it. We should go back into the house.
Nick: Okay. *picks Tuyen up bridal style and runs into the house and up the stairs to his room.*
Tuyen: Are you sure?
Nick:Yes. *goes over to his suitcase and pulls out a condom*
******SEXUAL CONTENT***********
Tuyen:*runs over and grabs it and starts kissing him which made her stop the condom and takes off his shirt.*
They are standing up and Nick pulls off her dress and she takes off his pants. Nick pick Tuyen up and carries her to the bed and pushes her playfully on the bed and lays ontop of her. He is kissing her lips and going down her neck. She let's out a little moan and rolls over so that she is ontop of him. He unhooks her bra and throws it to the side and rolls her over so that he is ontop. He goes from kissing her lips to her neck to her chest and up towards her lips.She then pushes Nick off of her and bends down to grab the condom that is on the ground. He goes over and slaps her on the butt. She turns around and kisses him on the lips then decides to have some more fun and starts kissing him around his neck. Every kiss she goes down a little bit, when she finally gets to his waist and pulls his boxers off and she pushes him onto the bed and he starts taking off her thong and she rips open the condom and puts the condom on him. She can see that he is ready and gets ontop of him and it begins.
Nick:WHAT IS MY NAME?
Tuyen:NICK!NICK!NICK!
Nick:TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT
Tuyen:FASTER. HARDER. FASTER.*moans*
After about 2 hours, they are done and just laying next to each other breathing heavily.
Nick: That was great.
Tuyen:You were great.
Nick:I love you.
Tuyen: I love you too.
Tuyen starts tracing the outline of his abs and it turns him on and she can feel it.
Nick: You know you gotta stop doing that to me.
Tuyen: Do what?*playing dumb*
Nick:Making me exciting.
Tuyen:*laughs and gets ontop of him and kisses him*
Nick:*his hands are on her back and goes down to her butt and they just kiss.*
After about 10 minutes of kissing, Tuyen gets off and lays her head on his chest and they both fall asleep.

Title: Makings of an Agility Dog Champion staring Bocelli
Description: I never spent much time training Bocelli. I didn't think I would have the patience due to owning two Border Collies. I only taught him to sit and wait... like wait before you can eat or get out of the car and such; that's it. He's only known for being good at sleeping on all the agility equipment which I made a video of.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgn31KbhBqI
Well, he surprised me. The last few days I've been doing a little bit of Agility training with him and he's doing fantastic. He's fast for such a little tyke, but he'll do anything for food. FYI, he's not a little tyke for a Chinese Crested... he's 16 pounds.
My first Agility trial I ever watched I met Lis Kristof. I bonded with her due to the commonality of the love of Chinese Cresteds. I always looked forward seeing her as I continued to watch trials and then eventually compete. She told me that she loved Bocelli's Dreams of a future Agility Champion and made that one of her favorite videos. She has always wanted to meet him, but I never brought him because I thought he would get in the way.
In April at an Agility trial, I asked Lis how she was doing and was shocked that she told me that she had three weeks to live. My heart just sank and I did everything I could not to break into tears. I told her later that day after she won ADCH with Diva that I would bring Bocelli the next day so she could meet him.
Lis met Bocelli that day and loved on him. After the award celebration for Diva's ADCH, I told Lis that someday I would compete with Bocelli and do it in her memory. She said do it for the Chinese Cresteds.
So, all you USDAA Chinese Cresteds... watch out, Mr. Bochel is coming out!
Enjoy the video!
Title: NES Film Test: The Kirby's Adventure Mic Glitch
Description: I'm not completely sure if this still works on Nightmare in Dreamland, but this cool little glitch does work in the NES Kirby's Adventure.
Essentially, this glitch gives you roughly 255 mics, when normally you only get three.
Here's how you trigger it:
1. Start the battle with the Ice Cream Islands boss and get him down to half HP.
2. Once he is down to half HP, wait for him to draw a mic. When he does, eat it to get the Mic power.
3. Use the first two mics right away, but before you use the last one, stand right in the center of the screen and jump. Use the last Mic at the top of the jump.
If you did it right, you will grab the Star Rod Piece immediately. Note that your Mic Power is still there.
When you enter Butter Building and try to use the mic again, the number will jump to P5--about 255 uses
The only side effect is a harmless graphical glitch when you trigger the mic.

Title: John Ballard - Getting Sponsors-Soliciting Table Tennis Fans
Description: John Ballard - Getting Sponsors - Soliciting Table Tennis Fans - Drawing Talent
Building a Community
John tells us the tournament is going fantastic. He likes to hear how smooth their tournaments run.
Matt Winkler approaches the desk with his U1600 Semifinal winning match slip.
John gives us some Tournament information -- they have about 105 entrants, they've got all of Southern California, all of Arizona and Nevada. They have 8 Co-Sponsors for the event this time. John says they sponsor the tournament at $100 per co-sponsor. To obtain sponsors, he explains they go out and have a real nice conversation with them and ask if they can really help us because we need the help. He approaches people by saying we are trying to build Table Tennis in the Lake Havasu area and in order to do that we need to put on this tournament and bring all these people in and of course if they come in to our area they are going to stay in Hotels, they're going to eat at the restaurants, you're going to get a whole lot of advertisement out of the whole thing. John shows us on the walls there are big ads for Nationwide Homes, McCullock Realty -- the largest realty company in town, also they hung a Ramada Inn, tournament host hotel's banner. They also have the Holiday Inn and Windsor Inn as host hotels. The sponsors supply the signs. John goes to each one of the sponsors to see if they'd like to provide a banner so it can be exhibited at the tournament. John likes to get the most exposure he can get his hands on. He hasn't approached places like the Phoenix Club where he doesn't feel it would be fair to ask -- even though he'd be glad to accept any sponsorship from them. John is willing to take maybes from any co-sponsor right off the bat.
He tells there are supposed to be 8 people coming in from Africa though he isn't sure which part -- perhaps the South. The African team called Paul Campbell and did all the talking with their Tournament Chairman. John admits Paul is pretty excited about them coming. Mr. Ballard doesn't want to hear stories of the African team not showing up at other Table Tennis events they entered.
He says everything is going good so far. He thinks they could do better in future tournaments if they can raise more funds and give more prize money out. He says the prize money draws more people in. He says the tournament turn out for this year's event went up 25%. He agrees there are quite a few spectators at the event and notes there was an announcement in the local White Page.
Alan Newman asks John if he's ready to play the Over 60 Doubles event. He say's he's ready.
One strategy to draw players John used was putting $50 prize money on the U1400, U1500, U1600, U1900, in the Open, in the Women's Open and they put $300 in the Open for everybody and $100 for 2nd place. That gives everybody an opportunity to come and try to win something.
As John is handed his Over 60 event clipboard he mentions its time for him to go to work.
Lake Havasu, Arizona

Title: Snoop Dogg's Father Hood: Episode 2 - 1 of 3
Description: Episode 2: Snoop it Like Beckham is the second episode. Snoop is in his studio watching a soccer match and eating chicken at four o'clock in the morning. He says that he should teach his children to play soccer. Boss Lady walks in and asks if he is taking the children to the park and she takes away his food saying that he doesn't need to be eating chicken at four o'clock in the morning. Snoop then agrees to the take the children to the park if Boss Lady goes back to bed. As she leaves, Snoop pulls out a hidden tray of chicken and goes back to watching his soccer match.
Boss Lady then calls a meeting with of her employees and she tells them that Snoop is eating too much fried chicken. She also says that it's not healthy and they need to stop bringing him chicken.
At the park, Snoop tries to teach his children soccer. But soon the children get bored and they start to misbehave. Snoop then tries to tell them about David Beckham being the greatest soccer player in the world. Snoop then tells the children that if he could get David Beckham to teach them, they'd play better. Choc then asks Snoop if he knows David Beckham and Snoop says he does. Spank agrees with Choc saying that just because Snoop is wearing a David Beckham jersey doesn't mean he knows him. Snoop then takes out his cell phone and calls his manager, Kevin. Snoop tells Kevin if he can get David Beckham on the phone. He also asks Kevin to bring him order of chicken from Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles.
Snoop then gives his children autographed David Beckham jerseys. But Choc says the signatures are in Snoop's handwriting and Spank notices that the price tags are still on the jerseys. Choc then tells Snoop that he's faking and he really doesn't know David Beckham. Snoop calls Kevin again asking if there's been any progess in getting David Beckham on the phone. Kevin says that it would be easier to get Osama Bin Laden on the phone and it's impossible to get Beckham on the line. Snoop disapproves and says that Kevin needs to try harder.
Anthony and Snoop are then shown playing tennis on a Nintendo Wii. Playing tennis has made Anthony hungry. Snoop says he's hungry as well. Anthony suggest california rolls. Snoop says no and says to get Roscoe's. Anthony says he can't get Roscoe's because Boss Lady told him not to and she paid him $200 not to get chicken for Snoop. Snoop then pays Anthony $260 to get him some chicken. Anthony returns with food but gets caught by Boss Lady. She takes the chicken away from Anthony forcing him to return with a salad to Snoop. Snoop gets angry at Anthony saying he either return his money or get him some chicken.
Snoop then receives his phone call from David Beckham who has been called, "D-Beck". Snoop tells D-Beck how his children don't like soccer and hopefully a few lessons from him will change their mind. D-beck agrees and Snoop promises him a trip to Roscoe's. The children then arrive at The David Beckham Academy at they take their soccer lessons from D-Beck.
After the lessons, D-Beck and Snoop head over to Roscoe's to have a meal together. Snoop orders for D-Beck and orders for himself. But when the food comes, the waitress brings two salads. Snoop then looks up and sees Boss Lady has changed his order. Snoop becomes embarassed but in the end he toasts the day with D-Beck at his table.

Title: OPRAH & YOU TUBE WTF PEOPLE?
Description: FIRST LET ME TELL YOU I KNOW THIS VIOLATES THE NUTCHEESE 3 MIN RULE BUT I HAVE HER SEAL OF APPROVAL ON IT!
Hi, I'm Reynaldo, of course! I just want to clarify one thing! I did not have sex with that woman? Oh a BJ counts as sex? Wait is it a lie if I was just not telling the truth!
Oprah! Oprah! Oprah, seriously folks; In her defense: Oprah has done some wonderful things in this World! I don't really care for Oprah! But I do think she is a magnificent human being!
I do have to say that it would be damn near impossible for her to handle her own comments!
C'mon people, I had a peek at Nalt's channel when he left it logged in on someone's notebook at South Tube, BTW I unsubscribed a bunch of people just FYI, but none the less, he had so damn many messages, friend invites and his e-mail I could just imagine.
In fact, case in point I applied for the position of au pair and he never even gave me the courtesy of a response! So here I am an unemployed Vietnam Veteran with all these child rearing skills going to waste!
Well actually I couldn't have taken the position, I have been to the Nalt's compound and during the visit had to frequently shake off flashbacks of Nam, he lives so far in the woods I thought I was back in the jungle!
Fortunately when it was time to leave I was snapped into reality as his wife had him frisk me before I could get in the car and go! I had to return those Gorgeous Orange Crocs, only to have Kelley (NutCheese) retrieve them at a later date, okay well I got a little off track here, back to Oprah! The Ebony Queen of Mass Media!
Personally I don't give a rat's ass what she does on you tube I am not going to subscribe to her because I see far too much of her already!
But I would consider her for President if she ran providing she had a good VP candidate like, hmmm maybe Mike Skehan? He would be replacing Cheney so it would work out, you know the Skehan scowl we have all come to love.
Just think how nice it would be: Da dum de da da da da ....Ladies and Gentleman the Vice President of the United States:
Hi Hello Friends, Hi, Hello, I've missed you! Hi Hello friend I'm Michael Skehan, and your not! Well here I am off course again! Dammit!
Anyway we should all learn to love one another eat Captain Brownies medical marijuana brownies and enjoy all the luxuries American's have, we are a very fortunate lot!
Oprah just wants to be loved and happy like everyone else, but when you have soooo much money everyone loves to hate and criticize you, and the truth is it's easy to hate a rich successful intelligent black woman! Wait, why? We should be like hey you go girl! I am glad you made it to the top, that means any of us can!
I think the problem really is; YouTube feels like it is ours, we feel all powerful with you tube, suddenly you feel like a celebrity just like Oprah and hey none of us wants the real celebrities taking that away from us!
At Washington Square Park in N.Y.C. on July 7th, 2007 I could not believe how many people walked up to me and knew me from You Tube!
It was the most amazing feeling I have ever had in my life, well not really the most amazing feeling!
The MOST AMAZING feeling would be when one of my children had their arms around my neck kissed me and called me Daddy! Yea that beats everything hands down! But, it did rank up there at the top!
So Oprah or no Oprah I like You Tube, I find little to complain about, and it's FREE! Beats the $104 a month we spend on Satellite TV all to hell and I have made friends that will last for the rest of my life!
So I am not going to let Oprah get me down, and I am not going to let my small subscriber base bother me, or the low views on the videos, because I like what people say and I like that I feel loved by so many of you!
Oh there are lots of things I would like to change in the World, but You Tube would be at the bottom of that list for sure;
1. Darfur
2. STOP THE WAR
3. Stop the Killing
4. Stop the Bush Regime
5. Stop Nalt's from wearing Crocs
6. Stop the hate everywhere
7. Feed the hungry
8. Redistribute America's Wealth! Who needs three homes? Who needs so much money they don't know what to do with it?
9. Realize Martin Luther King's dreams
10. Make NutCheese the International Goodwill Ambassador, let's all fart in harmony:
WE ARE THE WORLD! WE ARE THE PEOPLE!
Remember the World we live in is much bigger than YOU TUBE it's a small part of it, let's not forget it!
Let's also not forget this is America and Oprah is free to join YouTube anyway she wants! This is just my opinion! Thanks for listening if you did, and it's cool if you didn't!
STOP THE WAR! WAR IS CHILD ABUSE! STOP THE KILLING!
ps...this calm and unexcited rant is brought to you through Anger Management, a good way to stay out of trouble!
Title: "Blood" Sims 2 Music Video
Description: "Grab a glass because there's going to be a flood!"
If you didn't get the storyline, the video is about a patient (Gerard) going into a hospital for a check-up and when the doctor tells him they have to draw blood samples he freaks but cooperates. Then at night, the doctor and the nurses turn into vampires and one of the nurses takes some of Gerard's blood out of Gerard's Transfusion Drip and shares it with the other nurse and the doctor. Then in the middle of the night, Gerard gets up and walks into the lobby to find that the nurses and the doctor are vampires. He freaks so he runs away. Then the nurses and doctor morph into bats and follow him and are about to eat him, but it becomes morning and the vampires evaporate or whatever you want to call it.
I forgot to mention these people in the credits but.
Thanks xxbethany275xx from ModTheSims2.com for the hospital gowns

Title: 6.22.08 1/4 Galatians 2 Iron Man God Can Use Anybody @ LINCOLN AVENUE Orange Ca 92683 church christian baptist
Description: IronMan
Pop Spirituality -- Part 2
June 22, 2008 ~ Galatians 2
Galatians 2:6-10
"As for those who seemed to be important--whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not judge by external appearance--those men added nothing to my message. On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as Peter had been to the Jews. For God, who was at work in the ministry of Peter as an apostle to the Jews, was also at work in my ministry as an apostle to the Gentiles. James, Peter and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews. All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do."
What Can I Learn About God From Paul?
1. God Can Use Anybody
"As the members of the Council listened to Stephen, they became furious and ground their teeth at him in anger. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw God's glory and Jesus standing at the right side of God. "Look!" he said. "I see heaven opened and the Son of Man standing at the right side of God!" With a loud cry the Council members covered their ears with their hands. Then they all rushed at him at once, threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses left their cloaks in the care of a young man named Saul. They kept on stoning Stephen as he called out to the Lord, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!" He knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, "Lord! Do not remember this sin against them!" He said this and died. And Saul approved of his murder." Acts 7:54-8:1 (TEV)
2. Sometimes God Just Needs To Get My
Attention
"Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything." Acts 9:1-9 (NIV)
3. God Wants To Use Me
"When Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile Christians, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn't eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision. As a result, other Jewish Christians followed Peter's hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, "Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions?" Galatians 2:11-14 (NLT)
4. God's Grace Will Sustain Me
"I have worked harder, been put in prison more often, been whipped times without number, and faced death again and again. Five different times the Jewish leaders gave me thirty-nine lashes. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea. I have traveled on many long journeys. I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers but are not. I have worked hard and long, enduring many sleepless nights. I have been hungry and thirsty and have often gone without food. I have shivered in the cold, without enough clothing to keep me warm. Then, besides all this, I have the daily burden of my concern for all the churches. Who is weak without my feeling that weakness? Who is led astray, and I do not burn with anger? If I must boast, I would rather boast about the things that show how weak I am. God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, who is worthy of eternal praise, knows I am not lying." 2 Corinthians 11:23b-31 (NLT
