How to Lend Your Adult Child Money Without Regretting It
Loaning money to adult children isn't necessarily a mistake – but it can be. These tips for parents will help with several decisions about financial loans to grown kids.
Here, you'll learn if and how much money to lend to an adult child, what to expect in terms of repayment, and how to avoid financial miscommunications and conflict.
"Every parent knows that our care and concern for our children doesn't stop when they hit adulthood," says "The Money Couple" Scott and Bethany Palmer, authors of First Comes Love, Then Comes Money: A Couple's Guide to Financial Communication. "But most of us are a little unclear on how that care should play out financially. Trying to figure out when and how to help adult children with money problems can lead parents into all kinds of financial miscommunication and conflict."
Here, The Money Couple offers six tips for lending money to grown children.
If You Lend Your Adult Child Money…
If you can't say no to your adult children — going above and beyond financial loans and repayments — read Setting Boundaries® with Your Adult Children: Six Steps to Hope and Healing for Struggling Parents. It'll help you say no without feeling guilty and could be the best thing you ever do for your adult child.
1. Know your child's money personality
You know better than anyone that each of your children is unique. They'll deal with money in unique ways, which means you need to base your decisions about helping your child based on her money personality and her history with money. We know a couple whose son has a long history of money problems. He's a Flyer doesn't think about money or worry too much about whether he has any. But when he needs to repair his car, guess who he calls? Helping him financially only perpetuates this cycle. That's very different from a child who is handles her money well, but needs a one-time financial loan to cover an unexpected expense.
2. Remember that it's okay not to play fair with personal finances and adult children
We also see a lot of couples who feel like they need to give all of their children the same things – if one gets money, they all get money. But it really is okay to lend money to one adult child and not another as long as you have good reasons for doing so. Naturally, you don't want to give or withhold money to manipulate or punish your children, but it's perfectly fine to say no to one child and yes to another. You can offer equal amounts of love without offering equal amounts of financial assistance.
3. Respect your partner's wishes about lending money to grown kids
We're parents too and we know someone's always a softy when it comes to the kids.
If one of you is more inclined to help your child than they other, work to find a compromise – consider giving a smaller loan or offering other kinds of support. Find out exactly why your grown kid needs to borrow money – and recognize that you both want the best for your child and figure out how to give her just that. And if your partner says "no," don't slip your child $100 the next time she comes over for dinner. Don't let this decision undermine your relationship with your partner.
4. Don't hurt yourselves to take care of your kids financially
We see so many parents who would rather decimate their own resources than see their kids struggle. But giving away money when you can't afford it doesn't help anyone in the long run. Protect yourselves — for your sake and the sake of your children.
If your adult kid can't save money, read 5 Ways to Encourage Someone to Save Money.
5. Decide if strings are attached
Most financial transactions – especially those between family members – have some kind of strings attached.
If you give money to your adult children, be as clear as humanly possible about what you expect in return. If you want to be paid back, talk about a timeline and possible interest. If you think helping pay for a car means you drive it occasionally, then work out an arrangement that everyone can agree to. If you hope for more visits or phone calls or meals together, say so. Laying out all the expectations at the beginning can help you avoid the strife that comes with lending adult children money.
6. Create and have all parties sign a contract or promissary note
Save everyone the drama of miscommunication and hurt feelings: write down every detail of your financial agreement. No expectation is too small. Sign it, have your child sign it, and make copies for both of you. If you are expecting the loan to be repaid, you might want to consider filling out a promissory note (you can find a template on lawdepot.com) that serves as a legally binding agreement.
With a little thought and clear communication, you can protect your family from the kind of relational damage only money can do.

My husband and I moved abroad after an illness left me unable to work full time. We bought a property and we rent out part of it. We are not wealthy and in the current financial climate we are struggling, so we made a decision to release the last of our money from investments to purchase another rental property. For us this will mean a reasonable annual income of around 18000 euros. We hope to sell one of the properties when we retire and use the money to live on. Neither of us will have much of a pension. Recently I visited my 30yr old son and he was very off with me. We had a talk and it turns out he thought I should have given him the money to boost his new business which is struggling. He was very angry, he said I was selfish and that I could remortgage or sell one of the houses to give him the money. I told him that we wouldnt be able to get a remortgage and if we sold we would make a loss. He said that even if we made 10k it would help him and we could move back and get real jobs! I am so hurt to think that he would be prepared to let us loose all that we have worked for and that he feels he has the right to our money. I have helped in the past by buying carpets, a car and items for my grandson. His wife works 3 mornings a week, he works from home and they share the care of their son. They live in a large rented house in a good area and have luxury food items and the latest gadgets. I dont feel that they have done all they can to live within their means. Please help. Am I wrong to think my son should stand on his own two feet?
Great post. I have an issue, which I hope you can help me with. My mother (a very wealthy woman) offered to support me for the rest of my life, so that I could write. I did not accept her offer easily, but as she had never let me down I finally agreed and quit my secure job. I never once asked her to do this, she offered and made the promise in writing. She paid me for six years (enough to live) and then suddenly changed her mind, claiming that she "felt" she did not have enough money and that I was impacting on her lifestyle (even though she gave my brother a million dollars to buy a house, and continues to pay my sister's children's private school education). I was lucky enough to get a job for a year, but the recession hit and it was terminated. At 50, I can't get work, as I have spent most of my life in academia. I am in financial free fall and my mother doesn't care. She refuses to help me in any way, except to scream at me to "get a job". I don't know what to do. My life is falling apart. I am estranged from my mother and my siblings. My father feels for me, but he is in financial difficulty (and is divorced from my mother). My mother doesn't want to listen, and although she admits she made a promise, she says that "life changes" and I should "move on". What should I do?
I don't believe the selfishness I'm seeing here. I help my daughter out when she needs it, she doesn't ask frequently, and I would NEVER ask her to pay me back.
My boyfriend and I have been helping his son as he could not seem to find work. He has been borrowing to the tune of about $6,000. Now he has a job, has been working for appox a month, has gotten an apartment and we need to know when to ask for this money back. I want to nip the issue in the bud and let him know that he needs to start paying this back next month, before he decides he can start buying toys! What do you think. Susan
Great post, Laurie. I just found your website, and this has been bothering me also. My son is always borrowing money, and I don't know if I should keep giving it to him since it takes longer and longer to pay me back lately. He means well, but I'm afraid he may stop paying altogether one day, and then the problems start. Should I actually get a promissory note and have him sign it?
thanks, Nancy
My kids ONLY call me if they want money. It breaks my heart. I realize we don't give to our children just to see what we "get back" or do it so we receive some sort of gratitude. I don't expect them to kiss my feet or lavish me with thank you's. But it would be nice if they called to see if i am alive or dead. Texted me on Mothers' Day. Maybe stopped by on my birthday since they live a few blocks away. Nope. Never. Not once in years. But i am sure the one they call when they need cash. It gets to you and you feel unappreciated. I give. I give to charities and to friends and neighbors etc and i don't ever expect anything other than it makes me feel good inside. I don't feel good inside when i give to my kids now. Not anymore. I feel used.
I like this article, especially where Laurie talks about both parties being clear about what's expected from each party in a money transaction w/family. Several years ago my Dad offered to "give" me some money to help me buy a home after my divorce. My parents are wealthier than most and i was told they wanted to give me this money so i could enjoy it while they were still alive and that I would also be helping them get money out of their estate. The only issue for me was that they said we "had " to legally do it as a loan, so they could "write off " 20k per year as a get between them each year. I assumed wrongly that the 20k per year was a tax write off (which would clearly mark the decrease of the note each year), and the answers to any questions re: the write offs led me to that conclusion as well. I'm just a regular guy, I didn't understand gift taxes and estate planning at the time like I do now. I signed the note their tax attorney sent me( which they later admitted they never even read) and i waited for the "write offs" to free me from this note. When i discovered the "write off" consisted of a hand written forgiveness note, I freaked out, how does a forgiveness letter reduce a debt, in my book it doesnt., far from the cut and dried scenario i was pitched. This was just a convoluted charade to avoid them having to file a gift tax return, which my Dad eventually did a couple years into it, but I still struggle with it and am still terrified of this note coming back on me, and still feel like I owe this money back, even though I never intended to borrow it. It's affected everything in my life including my relationship w/my parents.

My adult children have asked me to loan them money for a down payment for a house, but I can't afford it. How can I help them? I want to give them good tips for saving money, but all I can find are the same old things: don't buy expensive coffee, turn down the heat. Do you have better tips so I don't fee so bad about not lending my kids money?
Hello Miriamres,
First of all, I applaud you on your insight into your son's personality, and your relationship with him! You're right that loaning money will set an unwanted pattern that will do far more damage to your relationship than saying "no" will.
I think you need to accept and even get comfortable with the fact that he won't like your answer. Most of us women like to take care of, nurture, please, and say "yes" whenever we can — it's in our nature!
So, I encourage you to go beyond accepting that it's not your job to continue to take care of him — he's a grown man who needs to learn how to take care of himself financially, professionally, and personally. How else will he learn this if you give him money? Don't just accept this, but accept that he will not like when you tell him this.
You need to be prepared for the emotional manipulation, anger, and frustration — and be STRONG. The only way to teach him not to manipulate you is to not let yourself be manipulated. You can't teach him by telling him or lecturing him…you need to teach him by standing up for yourself and staying firm when he lays the guilt trip on you.
Remember, you're doing this for his future wife and his female relationships! He needs to learn to respect you, and when he respects you, he will learn to respect other women, too.
I hope this helps, and invite you back anytime. Let me know how it goes!
My son has asked me for a modest loan. He has just moved out of my home at the age of 23 and is already having financial problems. He has always had a problem keeping a job, and has never denied himself any wants. Recently he has asked me for a loan and I am aware that me loaning it to him will set an unwanted pattern in our relationship. Reading your blog, i have decided to take the money out of our relationship but the problem is that to him, love equals me bailing him out whenever he is faced with a financial problem. A great deal of emotional manipulation gets in the way of us having a relationship based on respect and understanding.
Being aware of all that, I am still finding it hard to tell him that i would like him to be autonomous, and that he should be taking care of himself instead of laying trips on me when i refuse to give in. I am conflicted obvioulsy about bailing him out.
Could you please suggest how to resolve this conflict?
Yes, I think you should talk to an attorney. Many offer free initial consultations — and if you talk with two different lawyers, you'll get a better idea of the best next step.
Your best bet is to find an attorney who specializes in divorce and family law.
Best of luck,
I retired last year I discovered that my ex-wifes attorney was able to change my final divorce agreement three years afterward this cost me 20% of my monthly pension and $10,000 in attorney fees to attempt to rectify this fraud committed. It took six months but before a court date my ex and her attorney wanted to settle. I had no choice but to end this thing my savings was being depleted and in order to end it all it was going to cost me another $18,000 i had no choice but to ask my mother for the money, i am her only living relative and she has income exceeding her living expenses and several other sources of savings, I sat down with her financial advisor and discussed the situation and the monies were paid. A repayment was never discussed nothing was put in writing because my mother understood the situation and said "get back on your feet first and if I should need any extra money give what you can", i've given her several hundred dollars when she's asked me but I'm still recovering from eight months of losses to my income and attorney fees and I check her accounts from time to time and she has excesses of $3500 a month in her checking account alone. I just recently received a call from her financial advisor demanding that I sign a repayment agreement and a host of other accusations apparently he spoke to mother whom I called and she started yelling at me because I haven't given her any money in two months. I'm still dumbfounded, I've thought about hiring an attorney is that wise? do I owe her anything?
Dear Ursula,
I have 3 grown children. My two daughters are doing quite well. One is an attorney (she paid her way through school along with scholarships) and the other has a good job as a pension administrator.
My son, however, has been married for 11 years and is the only one with children and he doesn't have a good job. Whenever he had a good job, he always said "they were going to fire him" because he would always not get along with the supervisors. So now he is working at a low paying job. He's always asking for money. It's to a point where I don't even want to talk to him for fear he will ask for money.
This is not anything new with him. He was like this when he was single and living at home. My husband and I had to go bankrupt because we co-signed for a car loan for him. A few years after that he bought a car and couldn't make the last 6 months payments. I paid the car off then he went and traded it in for a new car!!
He had a job by that time. That was prior to him getting married.
They were doing fine as long as both of them were working. Then the children came along. He was the only one working and kept screwing up his jobs. So now he's working at a job that pays hardly nothing and the wife works as a part time waitress. He's suppose to pay the rent and she pays the utilities and takes care of the kids clothing. Thus far, he asked me twice to help him out with the rent. Both my husband and I are retired. If I ever told my daughters this they would not be happy. The last time I helped with his rent I told him that next time I see him, he'd better have another part time job. I told my husband that if he calls and wants to visit, we are to tell upfront, that if you're looking for money, we don't have any.
Hopefully, this is the right thing to do. I just wonder what is wrong with him especially since my daughters are doing so well.
My mother has asked me for money. She has asked and received money from me in the past in the thousands of dollars. This time the amount is around $2000. She has never paid any of it back. I am unemployed, however my husband can afford to support us(we have a daughter), and if I decide to help her I will have to ask him for the money. I have been living away from her for the past 20 years(she lives in Germany),and our contact is therefor limited. After my father died a few years back, I promised to take care of her, and I have. She complains about not having any money(she says)however she is dressed in best clothes(high-end designer) and drives a brand new Audi(she got a bank loan for this). She has not been a good mother in the past, but I love her, and try to understand her selfish ways. I will most likely ask my husband for the money, but I hate doing so. With the economy being what it is, I have denied myself many things, because I didn't want to spend the money, but now I feel like I have to give it to her(her need seems legit), and I don't want to be seen as a bank. She has given me $300 dollars in the past to save me from being on the street, but only after begging. Now that I have a nice lifestyle, I feel conflicted about having to give her money(I know she'll need it again next year), when she won't even make the effort to otherwise maintain our relationship. Am I a bad daughter? How do I tell her that i can't be her bank?? Do I just give her the money, or expect it to be repaid? Can I ask my own mother for the money back?(She does have an ok paying job) Can I ask her to go to a real bank, or do I just suck it up? Help!
My son just recently asked me for money. He is 47, on his 2nd marriage, & has always had money problems. He fought paying child support when he had to, filed bankruptcy in his 1st. marriage. He eats steak & cure 81 ham while my husband & I or eat hamburger & hot dish or a sandwich. We are 65 & 69, have some money now to live comfortably. I understand he owes taxes from 5 or 6 years ago, current utilities etc. I refuse to give him money because both he & his wife like high end items. They also are feeding 3 grown dogs(hunting) & three grown adult children in their rented home. He works for the Railroad (a good job). I just don't want to get involved because he'll think it should be a gift.
Thanks for taking the time to comment! What an interesting job a divorce coach must be….and I suspect that money problems such as when and if parents should lend to adult children have come up more than once in your line of work…
What a wise list you have put together. It is sometimes so difficult for parents with grown children to know where the line should be drawn.

For more information on Tropical Storm Tomas, see our story.
After being weakened into a tropical depression Wednesday morning, Tomas returned to tropical storm status in the afternoon and maintained that status Wednesday night.
At 11 p.m. on Wednesday, Tomas was in the Caribbean about 295 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and 210 miles southeast of Kingston, Jamaica, still crawling northwest at 6 mph. Sustained winds were still 45 mph.
A hurricane warning is now posted for Haiti, with a hurricane watch for the southern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands. Tropical storm warnings are posted along the coasts of the southern Dominican Republic, Jamaica and eastern Cuba .

Jedi Academy - yet another problem with graphics
I have just installed Jedi Academy. There were no problems during installation and I can access the menu and start a game, however:
-I can't see any characters during the first intro video, though I can hear them
-The game crashes before the gameplay begins (as soon as the ship hits the ground)
I have a Windows Vista 32-bit machine with GeForce 8500GT. Here is what I've already tried and didn't help:
-Reinstalling the game ;-)
-Running jasp.exe as administrator and in Windows XP mode
-Switching to 16-bit
-Installing the oldest drivers for my graphic card I could find (2007)
-Copying the .dll file from GLdirect into GameData (a hint I found on Lucasforums)
I really have no idea what else I could do. I've installed the 1.01 patch - didn't help as well. JK: Jedi Outcast runs smooth on my comp.
I'd be very grateful for any kind of help you guys could come up with.
Thanks in advance and regards.
If you're using a crack, remove it. There are anti-tamper measures in JA that will cause models to disappear, and possibly why you're crashing.
Nevermind, I managed to overcome the problem. Playing WITHOUT the 1.01 patch helped.
Thanks for the advice anyway.

Many cocktails are generally accepted as Martinis, and depending on where you live, some of these you may only see once in a great while, however they are good to know if for no other reason than when a friend or patron asks you to "surprise them."
The basic Martini is as follows:
- 2 1/2 oz Gin
- 1 1/2 tsp Dry Vermouth
- Garnish with olives
In a mixing glass half-filled with ice cubes, combine the gin and vermouth. Stir well. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with the lemon twist or an olive.
Basic variations of the Martini:
- Dry Martini- 1/2 the amount of dry vermouth
- Extra Dry Martini- two of drops of dry vermouth
- Bone Dry Martini- no vermouth
- Perfect Martini- equal parts of sweet and dry vermouth
- Vodka Martini- vodka as a replacement for gin
- Dirty Martini- small amount of olive juice
- Gibson- garnish with cocktail onion in place of olives
Other than those basic variants, the following three cocktails are popular Martini cocktails that every bartender should know how to make.
- 1 oz Vodka
- 1/2 oz Triple sec
- 1/2 oz Rose's sweetened lime juice
- 1/2 oz Cranberry juice
- Lime wedge
Shake liquid ingredients like hell in a shaker with ice. Place lime wedge on the rim of a Martini glass. Pour mix into the glass, up. Enjoy!
Rob Roy
- 1 1/2 oz Scotch
- 3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
- 1 dash Angostura bitters

Rub the cut edge of the orange peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink to release the oils but don't drop it in.

This established text continues to provide a rigorous account of the principles and practice of experimental organic chemistry, taking students from their first day in the laboratory right through to research work. New to this edition, a microscale approach has been integrated into the entire text, alongside conventional manipulations, bringing it in line with current laboratory practice. Maintaining the unique structure of the previous edition, the first half of the book surveys all aspects of safe laboratory practice, the use of a wide range of purification and analytical techniques, particularly spectroscopic analysis. The second half contains easy-to-follow experimental procedures, each designed to illustrate an important reaction type of basic principle of organic chemistry. Tried and tested over the past decade, these experiments are graded according to their complexity and many of these have microscale equivalents. Of prime importance, all aspects of health and safety in the laboratory have been updated according to the latest guidelines and are highlighted throughout the text.

I have installed Windows and Ubuntu side by side on my system. I heard that it harmful to the hard disk if we access files ont the Windows partition from Ubuntu. Is this true?
Yes, writing to files on a NTFS partition from Ubuntu can possibly harm your Windows installation. There are mainly two reasons for this:
Nevertheless, and because we may need access to file we share from Ubuntu and from Windows it is not generally a bad idea to access files on a NTFS partition. When need to be careful what we do, and we may want to follow one ore more of the following precautions:
ubuntu(ext) and window(NTFS) have different kind of partitions , in ubuntu you can mount a windows or NTFS partitons and access your file as a safe way, but if you want to do some modification and change in files so , keep be alert because both have different file saving, storing structure. so when you want to save files , in advanced option choose windows type to save and try to read this article:-

Nancy works at the Novato Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
Are you wondering what you have missed so far this long, hot summer?
Maybe you have forgotten the simple pleasure of a tomato sandwich. No, not a BLT, but its savvy sister, the oh so ripe, slices of heirloom (or home-grown) tomato. First, slather a layer of your favorite mayonnaise or olive oil onto a slice of the best bread you can find. At this point, slice that juicy tomato at least three times. Sprinkle with sea salt, hold with both hands …and take a bite. The taste of summer is there, in your hands and on your taste buds. Does it take you back to other summer days? When you were a child maybe or last year when you had your own successful crop of these beauties?
We can offer at least 16 books about growing your own tomatoes, so come in and take a look. You can plan for next year, or just enjoy the fruits of another's labor at the Farmer's Market. We can help you with this important part of the year, after the spring plantings, and the harvest of fall. To me, the tomato is the queen of the summer crop, and one that you can also experience when you are on vacation in another state.
See if you agree.

Yummm. One of my summer favorites too! Think I'll go make one now!

Move Mississippi Forward (MMF) has bid farewell to Founding Co-Chair, and veteran economic developer, John Wallace of Canton. In October 2013, Wallace joined Rev. Dr. Dolphus Weary as Co-Chairs of MMF. Both have served as the organization's Co-Chairs since the organization's inception. "General Wallace is truly a pioneer and visionary in the area of economic development. Move Mississippi is fortunate to have his wealth of knowledge, wisdom and insight in its formative years."
Wallace, a retired U.S. Air Force Major General, attended his last official MMF meeting as Co-Chairon June 25 at Jackson's Manship Restaurant where he received a framed photo of MMF's initial November 2013 press conference which also contained a narrative of Wallace's service to MMF and his many contributions to economic development in Central Mississippi.
From: Clarion Ledger
The rhetoric from the United Auto Workers and their hired or rented guns that seeks to equate union organizing efforts at Nissan's Canton plant with the civil rights struggle in Mississippi in the 1950s and 1960s truly strains credulity.
The line being peddled is that both Mississippians and the wider world should equate civil rights with the UAW's desire for a union vote at the Nissan plant in Canton. The struggle for "civil rights" sounds far more noble and desirable than what is actually happening in Canton and across the landscape of foreign-owned automobile manufacturing plants in the South — which is nothing more or less than a desperate struggle for survival by a union that has endured a 75 percent membership decline since 1979.

The work culminated in a 6 hour, 15 minute spacewalk by shuttle astronauts Jim Reilly and Danny Olivas, who focused on final attachment of bolts, cables, and connectors to begin the activation of the truss and ready it for deployment of its solar arrays.
The spacewalk began at 3:02 p.m. CDT and ended at 9:17 p.m. CDT and was the 84th devoted to station assembly and maintenance totaling 515 hours, 20 minutes.
The spacewalk was delayed for about an hour after the station temporarily lost attitude control when the station's control moment gyroscopes went offline due to the mass of the new truss segment in the final stage of its attachment. The loss was not unexpected because of the station's skewed asymmetry as the 17.8 ton bus-size S3/S4 truss was being moved toward the S1 truss.
Pilot Lee Archambault, Mission Specialist Patrick Forrester and Expedition 15 Flight Engineer Oleg Kotov tightened the final of four bolts permanently mating the new 45-foot truss to the outboard end of the S1 truss. The installation paved the way for the start of the spacewalk – the fourth for Reilly and first for Olivas. Once completed, the truss will stretch 356 feet from end to end.
Once the spacewalk began, Reilly and Olivas moved quickly through their tasks of releasing the launch restraints on the four Solar Array Blanket Boxes, which house the folded solar arrays. Their work sets the stage for the deployment of the solar arrays Tuesday.

User reviews on Monsters, Inc.
I remember seeing the first Monsters Inc. film and absolutely loving it, I ended up buying the film and watching it whenever I feel down. I had Pretty high expectations for this film and I am happy to say that it did not disappoint, I loved it! I saw the film with my brother's kid and we both had a great time. The film looks great visually, it is funny and sweet and most importantly, it has a very relevant and important message for both adults and the little ones. I loved that the film was imaginative and witty and voice actors did a superb job with their characters. Overall, I highly recommend seeing this film with your whole family, it is great fun.
I am a huge fan of Monsters Inc., I absolutely loved the first film and was really excited to find out that Pixar is making another film. I had high hopes for this film and fortunately I was not disappointed, it was really good. It is hard to dazzle the audience nowadays with 3D special effects but this film also had an amazing story, great new and old characters and it was funny, sweet and overall great. The vocal cast did an amazing job and made the film really charming, and both me and my little nephew loved the film, I will most likely see it again with my sister's children. Overall, itis a great family film and you will have a good time watching it.

Ali Shan is a small, Taiwanese place located on the outskirts of Crystal Mall. Yep, the dreaded Crystal Mall and it's parking lot. Even though I wasn't the one driving that evening, I was getting frustrated by the obvious waste of space in certain parts of the parking lot. And let's not begin with the 'it takes me ten minutes to back in' drivers.
Ali Shan is like any typical Taiwanese cafe where they serve an assortment of food ranging from pork chops, salty peppery chickens, hot pots and so on. They have bubble tea and snacks as well. Every dish comes with a cold green tea or a hot cup of tea.
I decided to go with the Bibimbap, which I feel like you can never go wrong with anywhere. We were a big party (seven) but we all ordered at the same time and every dish, except for mine came out around the same time. At first, I figured it was because my dish was a hot stone bowl, so it would take a little more time. But as everyone was almost finishing up, my dish had not arrived yet. One of our friends waved them over and asked them where my dish was and the server apologized and said it was on it's way. I waited for about maybe 5-10 minutes more, the server brought my food and apologized again for the delay.
This huge dish contained all the right elements of Bibimbap and was delicious. Perhaps that was the hunger talking, but when it's all mixed up, it could rival most other bibimbaps I've had previously. The portion size is fairly big, so expect some leftovers to snack on later!
(Based on my experience due to the speed of delivery on my food)
On par with most other Taiwanese places

Cult Heroes: Bolo Zenden
by Ashley Houghton
We pay tribute to one of the more popular players of modern times.
It's not every day that a La Liga, European Super Cup, FA Cup and League Cup winner rocks up on Wearside.
Boudewijn 'Bolo' Zenden was just that. The former PSV, Barcelona and Liverpool man signed for the Black Cats in 2009 and went on to make 44 appearances in his two years at the Stadium of Light.
Without doubt, Bolo was one of the most technically gifted players to have worn the famous red and white shirt in the modern era.
Bolo, who was capped 54 times by the Netherlands, played his part in one of the most memorable away days in Sunderland history.
Black Cats fans will remember the 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge not just for the goals from Nedum Onuoha, Asamoah Gyan and Danny Welbeck, but for the celebration following Gyan's goal where Bolo tried his best to imitate the Ghanaian's moves.
Having struggled to live up to Gyan's ability on the dancefloor, Bolo never failed in the more important matters on the field.
And, despite the majority of his first 20 Sunderland appearances coming from the bench, Zenden never failed to make an impact with his first Sunderland goal a neat half-volley in a previous defeat at Chelsea.
Bolo's name will always be in Sunderland folklore after he scored one of the greatest goals the SoL has witnessed - wonder-strike against Spurs in April 2010.
Zenden's stunning left-foot volley nestled in the top left-hand corner of Heurelho Gomes' goal in one of the most famous SoL games.
Bolo scored his third goal for the club in a 2-1 victory at Bolton Wanderers in May 2011.
The Dutchman's goal gave Sunderland the advantage on the stroke of half-time before Sulley Muntari's injury-time winner ensured Steve Bruce's side would play in the top flight for a fifth consecutive season.
Zenden announced that he would be leaving the club in the summer of 2011 and bowed out in style with a goal in his final game for the club - a 3-0 victory against West Ham at Upton Park.
Bolo scored a rare header from Ahmed Elmohamady's cross to open the scoring for Sunderland on the final day of the season, with the Black Cats going on to secure a 10th-place finish in the Barclays Premier League.

As high school graduation pictures fill Facebook and Twitter bursting with jubilant students and their parents celebrating successfully completing four years of attendance of a school of choice combined with the realization that the next step is college for the first time in a family's history, the charter school movement lets out a collective sigh. For another year has gone by without a resolution to the funding inequity that plagues these alternative schools that educate 44 percent of all public school students in the world's leading capital city.
The foremost candidates for Mayor, Councilwoman Bowser and Councilman Catania, are making the rounds speaking at many of the graduation ceremonies. At the same time that they are given a forum in front of crowded auditoriums not one word is uttered about the disparity that these politicians perpetuate. It is as if the advice they are giving these young people filled with hope is that life will be unfair and there is nothing that grownups will do about it, so do not expect anything to change.
It is about as far as you can get from the vision of the founders of so many of the high performing charters giving out diplomas in the month of June. These individuals had the notion that they could create schools that would permanently reverse the pervasive environment of exceedingly low expectations that uniformly characterized attending a DCPS institution. The charters these heroes created would not only have textbooks on the first day of school, but the water fountains and bathrooms would be functional, and it would actually be safer to come to these facilities then be out on the street facing a world of gangs, drugs, and violence. On top of that, to the shock of many parents who knew nothing better, actual learning would take place in the classroom. The kids would be told that they would go on to attend college, words that had up until this time never come out of the mouths of adults. Unbelievably, as a life preserver, scholarships were provided that for many pupils meant that they would not have to spend a dime during their time attending universities like Harvard, Brown, Princeton, and Yale.
Education reformers feel like the Adequacy Study, so seriously assembled by Deputy Mayor for Education Smith, never existed. Writing flows from publications as if from an eternal fountain regarding proposed changes to school feeder patterns, something the charter movement finds non applicable. Yet when someone is brave enough to ask if justice will one day be brought to charters, the question is answered by an interminable silence.
Numerous folks know better. In our lifetime civil rights were extended to many for whom inequality was a way of life. That is why, unbelievably, there is still optimism that someone or a group of people will finally fix what so desperately needs to be corrected. Until that time all we can do is to take no action to disrupt the joy of our high school graduates.

At last week's PlayStation E3 Press Conference, Activision unveiled the latest footage of forthcoming shooter Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Blasting through Earth's atmosphere, the new gameplay reveal shed some more light on developer Infinity Ward's bold new direction for the franchise.
We're way stoked from the rush of having our Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare ship assault gameplay debut at Sony's E3 press conference on that massive screen! If you weren't there or haven't seen the livestream yet, check out our new gameplay reveal here:
We are thrilled to reveal that Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is officially the next title from our studio, and we've got a ton of fresh info to share with you today.
Grab your friends and ready your trigger fingers — the Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer demo is coming this weekend.
From May 2nd (10:00 AM Pacific) until Monday, May 5th (10:00 AM Pacific), gamers on both PS3 and PS4 will be able to download the demo and try out Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer for free.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Content Collection 1 arrives in the PlayStation Store today, and it brings with it a whole weekend of double XP. This is the biggest DLC collection in franchise history, offering four multiplayer/Survival mode maps – Piazza, Liberation, Overwatch, and Black Box – as well as two all-new Special Ops missions, Black Ice and Negotiator. That kind of content doesn't just make itself, so I asked Mark Rubin, Executive Producer at Infinity Ward, for some insight into how the studio approaches making add-on content for MW3.
Call of Duty players all have one big thing in common: Call of Duty. Sounds obvious, I know, but I think that's enough. Now, some of you reading this are fantastic Call of Duty players. Some of you stink on ice. Let me slide over on this big block of frozen water to make room for you folks in the latter camp. Come sit next to me and we can talk about why we always seem to be on the wrong end of a noob tube.
That said, the gap between the masters and the students is not that wide. We're all playing for the same reason – Call of Duty games are fun, that's all. I'll always take an opportunity to learn and improve, but even when I get my ass handed to me online, as long as I enjoy the company of the people I'm playing with, I'm more likely to leave a session laughing, regardless of KDR.
This is where Call of Duty Elite comes in. Not many games have 30 million people playing them, so the idea behind Elite was to give all those players a common ground – a service that would help them connect, compete, and improve. We're all playing together as it is; let's play together better.
The Resurgence Package is here! The second game add-on for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is now available on PSN, and brings with it five additional multiplayer maps, including some of the most unique and awesome places you'll ever have a firefight. As always, we're focused on bringing a little something for everyone in […]
Tomorrow, May 4th, will be an onslaught of Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer goodness on the PlayStation Network! First and foremost, the first downloadable content for Modern Warfare 2 — The Stimulus Package — will hit the PSN Store for $14.99 and bring with it five new maps to the multiplayer of MW2. Included in those […]

G-Force Movie Reviews
User reviews on G-Force
I saw this movie here http://watch-movie-online-free.com/
A dispiriting primer on the low regard Hollywood has for the intelligence and curiosity of children -- and the time and money of their parents -- "G-Force" is an aggressively stupid entry in the family-adventure genre from Jerry Bruckheimer, the mega-producer behind "Bad Boys," "The Rock," "Pearl Harbor" and other movies featuring explosions and quips.
And in one posting this previous post by "Geroge" demonstrates all that is wrong with the internet and anonymous postings. Some poor lonely fellow in his parents basement with an old broken down laptop, desperately hoping to be noticed by a dispassionate world. A sad and lonely existence that will only be ended in a silent thud as he passes from this world in a diabetic coma from one last Big Gulp and natchos from the corner 7-11.

VAN NUYS, CA — DreamZone Entertainment has released the first set of images for Hairy Twatter. The gallery features glam shots and hardcore stills of the celebrated Nora Skyy. The photos are available to view, or download at DreamZone's promotional site. (Click here to see a selection of images on AVN.com.)

The magic begins on August 28, when Hairy Twatter releases.
"We're thrilled to present the first glimpse into the world of Hairy Twatter," stated Adam Hasner, VP of DreamZone Entertainment. "From the detailed costumes to the set and scenarios, it's clear that a great deal of creativity and effort went into making Hairy Twatter an unforgettable visual journey.

Magical times are afoot at the Whore's Wart's School for Witches & Wizards. But the male students are gravely disturbed that none of the females have hair on their twats. Hairy, being the most powerful wizard enrolled, experiments with dark magic in hopes of big bushes. The results are hair-raising.

Women's Hoops Drops Season Finale At Xavier, 70-61
Feb. 26, 2012
CINCINNATI, OHIO - The UMass women's basketball team cut an 18-point deficit to four, but could not complete the comeback, falling 70-61 at Xavier on Sunday afternoon. The Minutewomen end the year at 8-21, 3-11 in Atlantic 10 play, after being eliminated from postseason as a result of Fordham's win over Saint Louis.
Senior Megan Zullo narrowly missed a triple-double with 12 points, a team-high eight rebounds and eight assists to go along with three steals. Junior Jasmine Watson contributed a game-best 21 points on 9-for-14 shooting, while classmate Shakia Robinson totaled 13 points and six rebounds. Freshman Emily Mital finished with a career-high six assists.
With the score tied at four at the 16:57 mark in the opening half, Xavier went on a 15-2 run to build a 13-point advantage and went up by as many as 17 in the frame. Zullo hit a three with 41 seconds to go before the intermission to bring the score to 43-29 at the break.
After the Musketeers took their largest lead of the contest, 18, with 17:45 to play in the second half, the Minutewomen put together a spirited 15-2 run to pull back within striking distance. Robinson began the stretch with a layup at the 16:37 mark, and split on a pair of free throws with 9:54 on the clock to bring UMass to within five, 51-46. Xavier briefly expanded its advantage back to double figures before seven straight points by the Minutewomen closed the gap to four, 58-54, with 4:44 remaining. UMass could draw no closer, though, as the Musketeers went back up by 10 on a trey from Tyeasha Moss with 1:26 left.
The Minutewomen shot 45.3% (24-for-53) on the afternoon, 40% (6-for-15) from long range and 70% (7-for-10) at the free throw line. Xavier made 24-of-57 (42.1%) from the field, 6-of-22 (27.3%) from beyond the arc and converted 16-of-30 (53.3%) free throws.
With 13 apiece, Moss and Sabrina Johnson led the Musketeers in scoring, while Ashley Wanninger joined the pair in double figures with 12 points. Jessica Pachko corralled 10 rebounds and added eight points.

Alec Faldermeyer picked up the third first-team All-American honor of his career on Saturday at the NCAA Indoor Championships as the sophomore placed fifth in the 35-lb weight throw.
Faldermeyer, who came into the meet ranked eighth with a best of 70-11.25, finished fifth on Saturday with a mark of 69-9.50. He opened up the competition with a foul and then recorded his fifth-place mark in the second round. Faldy fouled the remaining four rounds and maintained his fifth-place spot to earn his third USTFCCCA All-American honor. Last year, he finished sixth in the weight throw.
Also on Saturday, Marcus Nilsson finished his competition in the heptathlon. The Swedish sophomore was 14th after day one on Friday and moved up to 11th during the final three events. With his finish, he earned the first All-American honor of his career (2nd-team) as he scored 5511 points. Nilsson was 15th in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.48 (865 pts.).

In response to the April 6 Globe-News reprint of the Dallas Morning News article regarding problems associated with the Ussery-Roan Texas State Veterans Home, as one who has personal knowledge with a family member at the home I have found the home to be a well-maintained facility, staffed with personnel who display the utmost professionalism and kindness toward their residents and families.
Although the decision of placing a loved one into a nursing home is never easy, we found the Ussery-Roan facility to be an affirmative environment.
Whatever concerns we have had at Ussery-Roan have been addressed in a fair and timely manner by caring and compassionate employees. It takes a special person to work in nursing homes and the Ussery-Roan facility is staffed with many of these outstanding individuals.
While no nursing home may be without problems, our family has experienced the positive side of the care displayed for our aging veterans at Ussery-Roan and we are thankful the home is available for Panhandle-area veterans in order to meet these long-term care needs.

Forbes this week released its 2012 installment of its "30 Under 30″ list, the finance mag's annual attempt at getting twentysomethings to feel really bad about themselves. As in past years, the list is divided up into different spheres of influence, and since "Music" is included, we get to see which pop stars the titans of the business world consider the equals of Mark Zuckerberg and Ezra Klein.
On the whole, the list isn't too surprising, with all the heavyweights you might guess: Taylor Swift, Adele, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, One Direction, Frank Ocean and the Mumford fellow. That's pretty similar to the top of our Popdust 40, with the notable and completely unsurprising absence of Chris Brown. Forbes also made time for some under-the-radar choices that we can't especially complain about: Avicii (only 23—who knew?), Calvin Harris, Benny Blanco and a few industry types.
But what we find a little baffling is the mag's choice for the headlining artist of the list: With all those to choose from, they went instead with Pittsburgh's own Wiz Khalifa. Now, Wiz is not a bad rapper, and he had a better year that you might think, but you can't deny there's something decidedly B-List about him. (There are smaller artists on the list, like Skylar Grey, but they have the advantage of being young comers still; we can have a sense of optimism about their careers that we don't with Wiz. They're Russell Wilson, he's Joe Flacco.) Khalifa's had what, three hits in the past two years? Rihanna can get that many in a week.
But maybe there's something about Wiz that Forbes sees and we don't. Are all the leading economic indicators saying he'll have a great year? Or was he just—and maybe we should let the thought go unspoken—the only person not too busy to give an interview?

Technicans at fleets and dealers can use IPA's Super Mutt Trailer Tester to help perform trailer safety inspections along with their regular tire checks.
IPA says the system addresses the problem of time and resources needed to cross-train technicians on trailers.
Remote controlled and fully diagnostic, the Super Mutt provides a thorough and efficient inspection. By placing a load on the trailers circuitry, it identifies poor grounds and crossed/open/shorted circuits.
Additionally, techs can perform leak down tests, remotely apply service brakes, and activate ABS blink codes resulting in a comprehensive inspection. An available DVD manual can train technicians in its use.
