James R. "Jim" Jarmusch (pronounced /ˈdʒɑrməʃ/;[2] born January 22, 1953) is an American independent filmmaker.[3] Jarmusch is a major proponent of independent cinema, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s.[4]
The key, I think, to Jim, is that he went gray when he was 15 ... As a result, he always felt like an immigrant in the teenage world. He's been an immigrant – a benign, fascinated foreigner – ever since. And all his films are about that.
Jarmusch was born to a European American family of middle-class suburbanites in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio in 1953.[4][6][7] His mother had been a reviewer of film and theatre for the Akron Beacon Journal before marrying his father, a businessman who worked for the B.F. Goodrich Company.[1][8] She introduced the future director, the middle of three children,[5] to the world of cinema by leaving him at a local theater to watch matinee double features such as Attack of the Crab Monsters and Creature From the Black Lagoon while she ran errands.[9][10] The first adult film he recalls having seen was the 1958 cult classic Thunder Road (starring Robert Mitchum) the violence and darkness of which left an impression on the seven-year-old Jarmusch.[11] Another B-movie influence from his childhood was Ghoulardi, an eccentric Cleveland television show which featured horror films.[10]
Despite his enthusiasm for film, Jarmusch, an avid reader in his youth,[4] had a greater interest in literature, a pursuit in which he was encouraged by his grandmother.[1] Though he refused to attend church with his Episcopalian parents (not being enthused by "the idea of sitting in a stuffy room wearing a little tie"), Jarmusch credits literature with shaping his metaphysical beliefs and leading him to reconsider theology in his mid-teens.[11] From his peers he developed a taste for counterculture: he and his friends would steal the records and books of their older siblings – William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Mothers of Invention.[4][12] They made fake identity documents which allowed them to visit bars at the weekend but also the local art house cinema – which though it typically showed pornographic films would on occasion feature underground films such as Robert Downey, Sr.'s Putney Swope and Andy Warhol's Chelsea Girls.[4][12] At one point, he took an apprenticeship with a commercial photographer.[4] "Growing up in Ohio", he would later remark, "was just planning to get out".[12]
After graduating from high school in 1971,[13] Jarmusch moved to Chicago and enrolled in the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.[7][14] After being asked to leave due to neglecting to take any journalism courses–Jarmusch favored literature and art history–he transferred to Columbia University the following year, with the intention of becoming a poet.[11][14] At Columbia, he studied English and American literature under professors including New York School avant garde poets Kenneth Koch and David Shapiro.[1] At Columbia he began to write short "semi-narrative abstract pieces",[1] and edited the undergraduate literary journal The Columbia Review.[7][15]
During his final year at Columbia, Jarmusch moved to Paris, for what was initially a summer semester on an exchange program but turned into ten months.[4][13] There, he worked as a delivery driver for an art gallery, and spent most of his time at the Cinémathèque Française.[4][7]
That's where I saw things I had only read about and heard about – films by many of the good Japanese directors, like Imamura, Ozu, Mizoguchi. Also, films by European directors like Bresson and Dreyer, and even American films, like the retrospective of Samuel Fuller's films, which I only knew from seeing a few of them on television late at night. When I came back from Paris, I was still writing, and my writing was becoming more cinematic in certain ways, more visually descriptive.
—Jarmusch on the Cinémathèque Française, taken from an interview with Lawrence Van Gelder of The New York Times, October 21, 1984.[1]
Broke and working as a musician in New York City after returning from Paris in 1976, Jarmusch applied on a whim to the prestigious Graduate Film School of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts (then under the direction of Hollywood director László Benedek).[1][4][14] Despite his complete lack of experience in filmmaking, his submission of a collection of still photographs and an essay about film secured his acceptance into the program.[1] He studied there for four years, meeting fellow students and future collaborators Sara Driver, Tom DiCillo and Spike Lee in the process.[7] During the late 1970s in New York City, Jarmusch and his contemporaries were part of an alternative culture scene centered on the CBGB music club.[16]
In his final year at New York University, Jarmusch worked as an assistant to the renowned film noir director Nicholas Ray, who was at that time teaching in the department.[7] In an anecdote Jarmusch has recounted of the formative experience of showing his mentor his first script, Ray disapproved of its lack of action, to which Jarmusch responded after meditating on the critique by reworking the script to be even less eventful. On Jarmusch's return with the revised script, Ray reacted favourably to his student's dissent, citing approvingly the young student's obstinate independence.[17] Jarmusch was the only person Ray brought to work – as his personal assistant – on Lightning Over Water, a documentary about his dying years on which he was collaborating with Wim Wenders.[4] Nicholas Ray died in the summer of 1979 after a long fight with cancer.[7] A few days afterwards, having been encouraged by Ray and New York underground filmmaker Amos Poe and using scholarship funds given by the Louis B. Mayer Foundation to pay for his school tuition,[1][18] Jarmusch started work on a film for his final project.[3][7] The university, unimpressed with Jarmusch's use of his funding as well as the project itself, promptly refused to award him a degree.[13]
Jarmusch's final year university project was completed in 1980 as Permanent Vacation, his first feature film.[13] It was made on a shoestring budget of around $12,000 in misdirected scholarship funds and shot by cinematographer Tom DiCillo on 16 mm film.[19] The 75 minute quasi-autobiographical feature follows an adolescent drifter (Chris Parker) as he wanders around downtown Manhattan.[20][21] The film was not released theatrically, and did not attract the sort of adulation from critics that greeted his later work. The Washington Post staff writer Hal Hinson would disparagingly comment in an aside during a review of Jarmusch's Mystery Train (1989) that in the director's debut, "the only talent he demonstrated was for collecting egregiously untalented actors".[22] The bleak and unrefined Permanent Vacation is nevertheless one of the director's most personal films, and established many of the hallmarks he would exhibit in his later work, including derelict urban settings, chance encounters, and a wry sensibility.[21][23]
Jarmusch's first major film, Stranger Than Paradise, was produced on a budget of approximately $125,000 and released in 1984 to much critical acclaim.[24][25] A deadpan comedy recounting a strange journey of three disillusioned youths from New York through Cleveland to Florida, the film broke many conventions of traditional Hollywood filmmaking.[26] It was awarded the Camera d'Or at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival as well as the 1985 National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Film,[27][28] and became a landmark work in modern independent film.[29]
In 1986, Jarmusch wrote and directed Down by Law, starring musicians John Lurie and Tom Waits, and Italian comic actor Roberto Benigni (his introduction to American audiences) as three convicts who escape from a New Orleans jailhouse.[30] Shot like the director's previous efforts in black and white, this constructivist neo-noir was Jarmusch's first collaboration with renowned Dutch cinematographer Robby Müller, who had been known for his work with Wenders.[31]
His next two films each experimented with parallel narratives: Mystery Train (1989) told three successive stories set on the same night in and around a small Memphis hotel, and Night on Earth (1991) involved five cab drivers and their passengers on rides in five different world cities, beginning at sundown in Los Angeles and ending at sunrise in Helsinki.[17] Less bleak and somber than Jarmusch's earlier work, Mystery Train nevertheless retained the director's askance conception of America.[32] He wrote Night on Earth in about a week, out of frustration at the collapse of the production of another film he had written and the desire to visit and collaborate with friends such as Benigni, Gena Rowlands, and Isaach de Bankolé.[33]
As a result of his early work, Jarmusch became an influential representative of the trend of the American road movie.[34] Not intended to appeal to mainstream filmgoers, these early Jarmusch films were embraced by art house audiences,[35] gaining a small but dedicated American following and cult status in Europe and Japan.[36] Each of the four films had their premiere at the eminent and discerning New York Film Festival, while Mystery Train was in competition at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival.[27] Jarmusch's distinctive aesthetic and auteur status fomented a critical backlash at the close of this early period, however; though reviewers praised the charm and adroitness of Mystery Train and Night On Earth, the director was increasingly charged with repetitiveness and risk-aversion.[13][27]
In 1991 Jim Jarmusch appeared as himself in Episode One of John Lurie's cult television series Fishing With John.
In 1995, Jarmusch released Dead Man, a period film set in the 19th century American West starring Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer. Produced at a cost of almost $9 million with a high-profile cast including John Hurt, Gabriel Byrne and, in his final role, Robert Mitchum,[37] the film marked a significant departure for the director from his previous features.[38] Earnest in tone in comparison to its self-consciously hip and ironic predecessors, Dead Man was thematically expansive and of an often violent and progressively more surreal character.[13][38] The film was shot in black and white by Robby Müller, and features a score composed and performed by Neil Young, for whom Jarmusch subsequently filmed the tour documentary Year of the Horse, released to tepid reviews in 1997.
Though ill-received by mainstream American reviewers, Dead Man found much favor internationally and among critics, many of whom lauded it as a visionary masterpiece.[13] It has been hailed as one of the few films made by a Caucasian that presents an authentic Native American culture and character, and Jarmusch stands by it as such, though it has attracted both praise and castigation for its portrayal of the American West, violence, and especially Native Americans.[39]
Following artistic success and critical acclaim in the American independent film community, he achieved mainstream renown with his far-East philosophical crime film Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, shot in Jersey City and starring Forest Whitaker as a young inner-city man who has found purpose for his life by unyieldingly conforming it to the Hagakure, an 18th-century philosophy text and training manual for samurai, becoming, as directed, a terrifyingly deadly hit-man for a local mob boss to whom he may owe a debt, and who then betrays him. The soundtrack was supplied by RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. The film was unique among other things for the number of books important to and discussed by its characters, most of them listed bibliographically as part of the end credits. The film is also considered to be an homage to Le Samourai, a 1967 French New Wave film by auteur Jean-Pierre Melville, which starred renowned french actor Alain Delon in a strikingly similar role and narrative.
A five year gap followed the release of Ghost Dog, which the director has attributed to a creative crisis he experienced in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks in New York City.[9] 2004 saw the eventual release of Coffee and Cigarettes, a collection of eleven short films of characters sitting around drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes that had been filmed by Jarmusch over the course of the previous two decades. The first vignette, "Strange to Meet You", had been shot for and aired on Saturday Night Live in 1986, and paired Roberto Benigni with comedian Steven Wright. This had been followed three years later by "Twins", a segment featuring actors Steve Buscemi and Joie and Cinqué Lee, and then in 1993 with the Short Film Palme d'Or-winning "Somewhere in California", starring musicians Tom Waits and Iggy Pop.[40]
He followed Coffee and Cigarettes in 2005 with Broken Flowers, which starred Bill Murray as an early retiree who goes in search of the mother of his unknown son in attempt to overcome a midlife crisis. Following the release of Broken Flowers, Jarmusch signed a deal with Fortissimo Films, whereby the distributor would fund and have "first-look" rights to the director's future films, and cover some of the overhead costs of his production company, Exoskeleton.[41]
Jarmusch's latest film, The Limits of Control, opened in the United States on May 22, 2009. A sparse, meditative crime film set in Spain, it starred Isaach de Bankolé as a lone assassin with a secretive mission.[42] A behind-the-scenes documentary, Behind Jim Jarmusch, was filmed over three days on the set of the film in Seville by director Léa Rinaldi.[43]
In October 2009, Jarmusch appeared as himself in an episode of the HBO series Bored to Death.
In September 2010, Jarmusch will help to curate the All Tomorrow's Parties music festival in Monticello, New York.
|Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don't bother concealing your thievery — celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from — it's where you take them to."
—Jim Jarmusch, The Golden Rules of Filming[44]
Jarmusch has been characterized as minimalist filmmaker, and his idiosyncratic films unhurried.[24][45] His films often eschew traditional narrative structure, lacking clear plot progression and focusing more on mood and character development.[9][45][46] Jarmusch's early work is marked by a brooding, contemplative tone, featuring extended silent scenes and prolonged still shots.[38] He has experimented with a vignette format in three films either released or begun around the early nineties: Mystery Train, Night on Earth, and Coffee and Cigarettes. Jarmusch's approach to filmmaking—in the words of The Salt Lake Tribune critic Sean P. Means—involves "blending film styles and genres with sharp wit and dark humor",[47] and is pervaded by a signature deadpan comedic tone.[42]
The protagonists of Jarmusch's films are usually lone adventurers.[3] The director's male characters have been described by critic Jennie Yabroff as "three time losers, petty thiefs and inept con men, all [...] eminently likeable, if not down right charming",[38] and by novelist Paul Auster as "laconic, withdrawn, sorrowful mumblers".[15]
Though his films are predominantly set in the United States, Jarmusch has advanced the notion that he looks at America "through a foreigner's eyes", with the intention of creating a form of world cinema that synthesizes European and Japanese film with that of Hollywood.[1] His films have often included foreign actors and characters, and (at times substantial) non-English dialogue. In his two later-nineties films, he dwelt on different cultures' experiences of violence, and on textual appropriations between cultures: a wandering Native American's love of William Blake, a black hit-man's passionate devotion to the Hagakure. The interaction and syntheses between different cultures, the arbitrariness of national identity, and irreverence towards ethnocentric, patriotic or nationalistic sentiment are recurring themes in Jarmusch's work.[38][48]
Jarmusch's fascination for music is another characteristic that is readily apparent in his work.[13][32] Musicians appear frequently in key roles – John Lurie, Tom Waits, Gary Farmer, Youki Kudoh, RZA and Iggy Pop have featured in multiple Jarmusch films, while Joe Strummer and Screamin' Jay Hawkins appear in Mystery Train and GZA, Jack and Meg White feature in Coffee and Cigarettes. Hawkins' song "I Put a Spell on You" was central to the plot of Stranger than Paradise, while Mystery Train is inspired by and named after a song popularized by Elvis Presley, who is also the subject of a vignette in Coffee and Cigarettes.[13] In the words of critic Vincent Canby, "Jarmusch's movies have the tempo and rhythm of blues and jazz, even in their use – or omission – of language. His films work on the senses much the way that some music does, unheard until it's too late to get it out of one's head."[32]
On his narrative focus, Jarmusch remarked in a 1989 interview, "I'd rather make a movie about a guy walking his dog than about the emperor of China."[49]
Jarmusch is ascribed as having instigated the American independent film movement with Stranger Than Paradise.[30] Critic Lynn Hirschberg declared Stranger than Paradise in a 2005 profile of the director for The New York Times to have "permanently upended the idea of independent film as an intrinsically inaccessible avant-garde form".[5] The success of the film accorded the director a certain iconic status within arthouse cinema, as an idiosyncratic and uncompromising auteur exuding the aura of urban cool embodied by downtown Manhattan.[50][51] Such perceptions were compounded with the release of his subsequent features in the late 1980s, establishing him as one of the generation's most prominent and influential independent filmmakers.[52][53] In a 1989 review of his work, Vincent Canby of The New York Times called Jarmusch "the most adventurous and arresting film maker to surface in the American cinema in this decade".[32]
Jarmusch was recognized with the Filmmaker on the Edge award at the 2004 Provincetown Film Festival.[54] A retrospective of the director's films was hosted at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during February 1994, and another, "The Sad and Beautiful World of Jim Jarmusch", by the American Film Institute in August 2005.[55][56]
Jarmusch rarely discusses his personal life in public.[6][9] His longtime girlfriend, filmmaker Sara Driver, worked closely with him on his early films, but the stress this put on their relationship caused them to break up and resolve thereafter not to work together. They have lived together for over twenty years, and though Jarmusch has expressed a wish for them to have children, they have none.[9] He divides his time between New York City and the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York.[6][57] Jarmusch stopped drinking coffee in 1986, the year of the first installment of Coffee and Cigarettes, though he remained a smoker.[58]
In the early 1980s, Jarmusch was part of a revolving lineup of musicians in Robin Crutchfield's Dark Day project,[59] and later became the keyboardist and one of two vocalists for The Del-Byzanteens,[7] a No Wave band whose sole LP Lies to Live By was a minor underground hit in the United States and Britain in 1982. Jarmusch is also featured on the album Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture (2005) in two interludes described by Sean Fennessy in a Pitchfork Media review of the album as both "bizarrely pretentious" and "reason alone to give it a listen".[60] Jarmusch and Michel Gondry each contributed a remix to a limited edition release of the track "Blue Orchid" by The White Stripes in 2005.[61]
The author of a series of essays on influential bands, Jarmusch has also had at least two poems published. He is a founding member of The Sons of Lee Marvin, a humorous "semi-secret society" of artists resembling the iconic actor, which issues communiqués and meets on occasion for the ostensible purpose of watching Marvin's films.[5][62]
Jim Jarmusch, the art-house filmmaker who helped spark a renaissance in independent film, refuses to actually sit through some of the classics of American cinema.
"I pledge I will go to my grave having never seen Gone with the Wind or any Star Wars film," Jarmusch says. "Just to be obstinate. No other good reason."
It's a typical stance from a moviemaker who stubbornly creates films that critics often complain are too long, too meandering, and too often in black and white."
He's been content to appeal to the devoted if limited audience that responds to film as art. And that audience has embraced his Stranger Than Paradise, Down By Law, Mystery Train and Night on Earth."
In the eight years since Stranger than Paradise became an arthouse hit, Jarmusch has garnered a loyal but limited American audience. Yet abroad, particularly in Japan and Europe, both Jarmusch and his films have achieved cult status. For foreigners, perhaps even more so than for Americans, Jarmusch's films are the sine qua non of post-modern American hipdom. They articulate a distinctly funky, low-tech, outcast vision of American society that in both ethos and esthetics draws upon and amusingly blends the past five decades of postwar culture. While in content his films quietly defy Hollywood's myths of American progress and prosperity, in form (due to their stylistic simplicity and small budgets) they are a retort to the movie industry's bloated excess.
Recently, at the Yugoslavian film festival, 6,000 people turned out to fill a 4,000-seat theater for a midnight showing of Jarmusch's latest film, Night on Earth in wartorn Belgrade. In the past several months a traveling "Jim Jarmusch Film Festival" was held in major cities throughout Poland. Czechoslavakia will soon hold such a festival. And in Japan, where the director is a national celebrity, he is offered huge sums to appear in and direct commercials. To date he has turned down all offers."

Broadcasters Urged to Inform Viewers of Potential Reception Problems
At the FCC's year-end conference call meeting this week, FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein discussed his concerns about the status of the DTV transition, now less than 50 days away.
Adelstein called in from Phoenix, where he's been holding meetings with local broadcasters and government officials about February's transition. Although constructive, Adelstein said the meetings gave him cause for concern about local preparations for the full power analog switch off.
"I'm afraid the DTV transition isn't ready for prime time yet," he said. "I'm afraid it's going to be messy."
Adelstein said the recent coverage maps released by the commission were "very helpful," and urged broadcasters to inform their viewers about potential reception problems before the transition takes effect Feb. 18.
"I'm glad that we got our maps out," Adelstein said. "I hope they will be widely advertised the broadcasters themselves. It may be, in some cases, unpleasant news to inform their viewers that they will lose service with this, but they're going to find out and there's no point in hiding that ball given the fact that when they find out, they're going to wonder what happened. If they're not informed upfront, it's going to be a much more difficult situation come Feb. 18."

Smart husband and lucky wife to receive 3 palettes!
For Christmas, my husband bought me three new Anastasia Beverley Hills palettes – Norvina, Modern Renaissance and Sultry. As Sultry is the newest (limited edition?) palette, I thought it was only right that I reviewed it in case anyone is debating whether to get it before they can't buy it anymore.
As always with my reviews, I'll be doing swatches and an eye look with the palette and talking about my honest opinions.
Links are affiliated but opinions are my own.
This palette retails for £46, (you can find it on Beauty Bay) which is very slightly more expensive than the others. I haven't heard an exact reason for this, but I'm guessing it's because of the packaging – this time the outside packaging isn't velvety like the others. The palette is glittery (not the scratchy, fall-off-everywhere kind) and the font has changed from the standard. I'm assuming this is because it was the limited edition holiday palette and not the style that future palettes will adhere to.
Inside, the palette seems the same as all of the rest – 14 matte and metallic shades that follow a specific theme. The theme for Sultry is obviously cooler-toned neutrals, something I have been waiting for after so many warm neutral palettes from every brand. I know a lot of people called Sultry boring, or a bit strange (I have to admit, the pink did throw me for a second), but this is exactly what we needed – something different.
We also get a double-ended brush, with a shader and a blender. I personally don't like the blending end that much!
As you'd expect from a £46 palette, the shades swatch beautifully. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of the ABH formula, so I feel like I may already be slightly bias in my review, but I think the image above speaks for itself.
The shades in this palette don't look fun or unique on their own, but put together I can already form so many different looks in my mind. It'll be such a useful palette – I can count the cool-toned palette I own on one hand. I'm obsessed with 'Cyber'. I love silvers, but this one is more like a silvery taupe, and I am here for it.
This is the eye look I created with the palette the first time I played with it. I usually don't do my best work with palettes the first go, as I'm just getting used to the formula and the shades and the way they work, but I think I've done just fine this time! Probably because I've played with Prism and Soft Glam so many times.
For this look I used Twig and Birch in the crease, Dystopian in the outer corner, Cinder on the lid, Pearl on the browbone and Bloom on the inner corner (with a little Pearl on top). On the lower lashline I used Twig, Birch and Dystopian again.
I know. £46 is so expensive. I probably wouldn't have bought this palette for myself, purely because £46 is about a quarter of my income for the month, so it's not a feasible purchase for me. But if you have a little bit more of a budget, or you want to splurge on something special, this is a good one to go for. If you love cool neutrals, or if you need a cooler palette to mix in with your sea of warmth, or even if you just want to collect all of the ABH palettes like me, Sultry is beautiful. I'm so glad I have it.
You can find this palette on Beauty Bay.
2 thoughts on "ABH SULTRY REVIEW"
I think this palette looks pretty, but I prefer to have more mattes and less shimmers in a palette so perhaps this one isn't for me as there seem to be a lot of shimmers. I love the quality of ABH shadows though, you really cannot go wrong with them. I have Modern Renaissance & Prism x

MILLY the cat lost one of her nine lives on Tuesday after she hitched a ride in the family car and ended up getting stuck in the engine.
She travelled from Devizes to Amesbury, was trapped in the engine compartment while her owner was at work and then was driven still in close confinement back to Avon Road before anyone realised something was amiss.
Luckily for Milly the cat Mike Wray and his team at Devizes Fire Station were on hand to free her after getting a call from her owners.
He said: "When we got there the cat was well and truly stuck. We arrived about 9pm and it took us the best part of two hours to get her out after, with the owner's help, we dismantled the engine.
"Luckily she was not near the manifold so she didn't get burnt but it must have been quite hot. She has definitely used up one of her nine lives.
"When the owner got home he was told the cat was missing and they started to look for her and then realised she was in the engine.
"She is a rescue cat and had only been with them for a couple of weeks.
"When we got her out she seemed fine but the owners were going to take her to the vets the next day to have her checked over.
"It is one of the strangest things I have been with. You get cats stuck up trees but not engines."
People on Facebook praised the firefighters for their actions. The Devizes fire station is looking for new recruits who want such a varied life.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation proceeding that involves selling your assets to repay your creditors. The bankruptcy trustee assigned to your case will determine what assets are eligible for seizure, sell those assets and distribute the funds to your creditors in order of their priority, as determined by the type of debt. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, several forms of debt are eligible for a bankruptcy discharge, including credit card debt, personal loans and legal judgments. However, some debts are not eligible for a bankruptcy discharge, including family support obligations and student loans. Once the Chapter 7 bankruptcy is complete, all eligible debt is discharged.
Bankruptcy Legislation
In 2005, Congress passed an amendment to the Bankruptcy Code that changed the dischargeability of student loans in a bankruptcy proceeding. Referred to as BAPCPA, the amendment was passed in response to perceived abuse of the bankruptcy system and includes other restrictions on debtors in addition to the change related to student loans. Prior to 2005, private loans were dischargeable in bankruptcy. The 2005 amendment changed the definition of student loans to include all loans, regardless of whether the loan was a private or federally funded loan.
Undue Hardship
To have your student loans discharged in your bankruptcy case, you must prove to the court that the loans constitute an undue hardship. The court considers three things when determining undue hardship. First, you must show that you cannot maintain a minimal standard of living if you must repay your student loans. Second, you must prove to the court that your current financial situation, including your income and expenses, will likely continue into the future. Third, the court must be satisfied that you have made a good faith effort to repay your student loans thus far. Whether your student loans are an undue hardship is determined at a special hearing before the bankruptcy judge. A finding of undue hardship is rare, but the court may find undue hardship if you have a disability that prevents you from working and repaying your loans. A court is more likely to be sympathetic to your undue hardship argument if you have made efforts to consolidate your loans or discussed compromise payments with your lender.
Filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
In contrast to Chapter 7 bankruptcy, filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to keep your property while you make monthly payments toward a repayment plan. Repayment plans last anywhere from three to five years. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to catch up on your debt and may be beneficial to you if you are having a hard time affording your student loan payments. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your monthly student loan payments may be less than they are now and your repayment plan, not your lender, determines how much you pay each month. In addition, depending on the judge hearing your case, you may be able to prioritize your student loan debt in your repayment plan, allowing you to pay more money toward your student loans than your other debt each month. At the end of your Chapter 13 plan, you will still owe the remainder of the student loan; however, you may be better able to show the court how the loan constitutes an undue hardship.

I am currently reading my way through a long list of science fiction and fantasy titles. (http://www.npr.org/2011/08/07/138938145/science-fiction-and-fantasy-finalists if you are interested in the list).
I didn't know what to expect when I plunged into this novel. It is beautifully written and it will be no hardship at all to complete it before the books comes due at the library.

The life of a Knick Fan is a roller coaster ride. This season has been nothing different. First, Linsanity emerges and the entire world begins to believe in a miracle. Then, D'antoni quits under the bright lights of Broadway's media. Then New York starts winning again, and finally New York begins to think they have a contender. Then Amar'e gets injured for 2-4 weeks and Lin gets injured for the rest of the year. So as of now New York is content with their season. They're just above .500 and after an up and down season, winning is a pleasant antidote for their anxiousness.
To the average fan New York will do great for the rest of the season. The team is responding well to Mike Woodson, Carmelo is back in his groove and Amar'e will be returning just in time for their projected matchup with Chicago in the playoffs. However, being the realist and experienced Knick fan that I am I can see through it all. The Knicks have just hit their peak, I see them finishing the regular season off well, but when they reach the playoffs they don't really stand a chance. That's all thanks to the loss of Lin.
Jeremy Lin was more then a point guard in New York. He was the player who brought the team together, who encouraged the team to share the ball and play together. He also gave the Knicks much needed depth. Especially if they face a team like Chicago who are 14-7 without Rose on their team, where depth is essential. Without Lin the Knicks have to give Baron Davis huge minutes for the rest of the season, and you have to wonder if he will hold up, considering his injury riddled season. Besides Baron Davis, Shumpert is the only combo guard on the team who can really run their offense. With Lin out, that means more time for Bibby and Douglas players who aren't used to minutes.
Besides the loss of depth they also have the hardest schedule for the remainder of the regular season and that means other guys are going to have to step up. Never mind Amar'e who has been below average all season will be coming back from injury and will be extra rusty.
I just don't see things going well for New York anymore. The ride's been fun but unfortunately it's time to get off. Maybe next year they will be blessed with a healthy team, because with a fully healthy team. This team is dangerous and can go far in the playoffs when given the chance.

Twin-Flowered Agave
Agave geminiflora 'Rasta Man'™
a-GAH-vee jem-in-ih-FLOR-ah
Agave geminiflora (Tagl.) Ker Gawl. is the correct scientific name for this species of Agave. It was FIRST documented under the name of Littacea geminiflora by Giuseppe Tagliabue in Biblioteca Italiana in 1816. It was later described as Agave geminiflora by John Bellenden Ker Gawler in the Journal of Science and the Arts in 1817.
My Agave geminiflora 'Rasta Man' was given to me by the owner of Pleasant Acres Nursery in Leland, Mississippi in May 2012 while living at the mansion there. It was much different than my other Agave, having narrow, spineless leaves. Instead of the teeth along the leaves, this one has these hair-like filaments. Of course, it did have the needle on the tips of the leaves.
I moved the Agave geminiflora 'Rasta Man' to the east sunroom at the mansion when it started getting cooler.
I moved from the mansion in Leland, Mississippi back to the family farm in mid-Missouri in February 2013. Of course, I took my Agave geminiflora 'Rasta man with me along with most of my other succulents. I don't think it appreciated the 8-9 hour trip in the back of the trailer at 30 degrees. Some of the leaves started turning black and it lost several.
It started looking much better after a while and adapted nicely to life on the farm. Where this species of Agave isn't winter hardy, they make excellent potted specimens. They adapt very well to being inside over the winter providing they have adequate light and proper soil. They like regular watering during the summer but very sparingly during the winter months, if at all. They should be in a good sized pot, some information suggests they like a pot as wide as they are, but that would be very large for sure… Just allow for good root growth and they will be fine. The soil should be very fast draining. I used Miracle Grow and other name brands with added grit chicken grit from the feed store) and perlite, about a 2-1-1 mixture. I have also heard pumice is a good choice instead chicken grit.
Family: Asparagaceae (formerly Agavaceae)
Origin: Southwest Mexico
Zones: USDA Zones 9-11
Height & Spread: 2-3'
Light: Full sun to part shade
The older it got, the hairier it became. Temperatures started getting cooler toward the middle of October, so I had to be prepared to move my succulents inside for the winter. Well, I am never prepared for cooler weather because I don't want it to come.
We made it through the winter with flying colors and the Agave geminiflora 'Rasta Man' was happy to get back outside in the fresh are and better light.
The above photo shows how hairy this Agave is getting.
This Agave species can tolerate much more shade than many other species. It grows in forested areas in its native environment in Southwest Mexico. I always grew mine in part to light shade and it always did very well.
I give the Agave geminiflora 'Rasta Man' a big five-star Belmont Rooster rating. It is a fine smaller Agave and I never had any problems with it. I no longer have this plant but hopefully, someday I will find another one.

As I've mentioned before on the blog I am conducting a One Name Study into the TILLIN surname and have it registered with the Guild of One Name Studies. This means that I collect as many references to the surname TILLIN as possible and that they are not always directly related to my family. I'm hoping to highlight some of the TILLINs that I find via the 52 ancestors blog series.
Ernest George Tillin was the Greatx3 Uncle of my children and is one of the few military ancestors we have found so far.
He was born in Aldermaston, Berkshire on 19th September 1874 and appears on both the 1881 and 1891 census in Berkshire.
In 1893 Ernest enlisted in the Rifle Brigade following time served with the 3rd Royal Berkshire Regiment.
At this time his enlistment record tells us some interesting information about him including the fact that he was 5ft 5 and 3/4 inches tall, he weighed 140 lbs, his chest expanded from 33 inches to 35 inches, he had a fresh complexion, grey eyes and brown hair. He also had a scar under his chin.
In 1897 he took part in the campaign on the Punjab Frontier and was awarded the India Medal in 1895 and the Clasp Punjab Frontier in 1897.
The other interesting thing is that in the Next of Kin section of his service record it gives details of his family. His elder step-brother James Monger is described as part of the Royal Artillery in Meerut, India - I wonder if this was one of the reasons that Ernest joined the armed forces. Meerut is also one of the places I have postcards from in my Treasure Chest Thursday postcard series.
After re-enlisting in 1904 Edward died of a heart condition in Aden on 5th November 1905.

Fresh Water and LWMI trip March 2014
On the 5th March five people from the UK led by the founders of Fresh Water and LWMI travelled to our base in Punalur.
Rev Tony Lacy, Jennifer Lacy and the Rev John Lacy represented LWMI and Fresh Water while Carol Halton and Brenda Earnshaw represented Jireh Women.
Visits were made to our center and Boys orphanage in Punalur where we had the joy of opening the new part of the building. Carol and Brenda opened the top floor and workshops space in Princes church, which Jireh had raised the money for.
All the boys and staff are doing well as are the various pastors that came from the Punjab and Orissa for the Pastors conference that we ran over three days.
One of the high lights of the trip was planning with Prince our director in India the opening in June this year of the "Living Waters Institute of Theology" This has long been in our vision and its exciting to see this step finally being taken.
The work is continuing well in Orissa under the Leadership of Pastor Samuel with around 12 Pastors they are seeing many coming to faith and being baptized.

When Should I List My Southern California Home For Sale?
Over the years one of the top questions that we've had from our Real Estate clients is "when should I list my Southern California home for sale?" and this is a great question to ask because with the changing of the seasons come different priorities for buyers so it's best to choose the right season for selling your home.
Spring and Summer Are the Best Times to Sell a Home
Typically, the two best quarters that have the highest amount of sales in Southern California are the 2nd and 3rd quarter because the winter months have ended, days are longer, and there will be more buyers out who are interested in buying, while there will also be more sellers out who are interested in selling.
Selling a home during the spring and summer months also means that there will be better valuations since more homes will be for sale, or have sold recently, and this will be helpful with determining the value of your home and listing it for a bigger sales price.
What If You Have To Sell In The Fall Or Winter?
Let's say that you have to sell your home during the fall or winter months due to a major life change like divorce, death of the primary income earner in your family, job change or relocation, the reality is that you shouldn't be concerned about selling your home during this time of year because, the buyers who are out there will be pre-approved, motivated and serious about buying homes.
Hire an Experienced Real Estate Agent
Regardless if you sell your home during the fall, winter, spring or summer months the key to success with receiving multiple offers and selling your home for the most money possible is hiring an experienced Realtor® who specializes in online marketing and will be able to market your listing to buyers in Southern California and around the world.

Hunt still on for £76m EuroMillions winner as it's revealed ticket was bought in SKEGNESS
The winner of the £76million fortune has still to claim their prize almost two weeks after winning the jackpot
THE hunt is still on for the winner of a £76million Euromillions jackpot - as it's revealed the ticket was bought in Skegness.
The unidentified ticket holder hit all seven winning numbers in the draw, on November 2 but still not realise they are now a multi-millionaire.
Organisers have now revealed the the winning Euromillions ticket was bought in the parliamentary constituency of Boston and Skegness.
The winning numbers from the draw were 5, 15, 17, 37, 44 and the Lucky Star numbers were 7 and 11.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: "This is the biggest ever unclaimed prize, so there's been quite a lot of interest."
The ticket holder has until May 1 to come forward otherwise the prize will be the UK's biggest unclaimed jackpot.
If the winner does not come forward with the winning ticket before the deadline, the prize money - including the interest it has generated - will go to projects funded by the lottery.
Andy Carter from the National Lottery said: "We're desperate to find this mystery ticket holder and unite them with their winnings."
Once the lucky winner reveals themselves to lotto heads at Camelot, the process of claiming the cheque can begin.
Previously, Mr Carter, Senior Winners' Advisor, said they "have the champagne on ice and fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win soon".
He continued: "Our player services team are on standby waiting for the ticket-holder to come forward.
"They will be on hand every step of the way to guide the ticket-holder through the winning experience."
The £76,369,806 sum is the fourth EuroMillions jackpot won in the UK in 2018, and sits 12th on The National Lottery Rich List.
Claiming the jackpot would put a single ticket-holder in the same league as pop star Ed Sheeran, worth £80 million.

If you have noticed, suddenly there a bunch of review sites claiming to have used Spartagen XT. Unfortunately, most of them don't even have the product or have used it.
That is kind of sad. How can you trust a site recommending something when they themselves don't even have it?
We did find one site that not only has it, but it is clear that the person recommending it has been using it. That site is spartagen-xt.com and it has a ton of great information on his experience taking Spartagen.
If you haven't heard, Spartagen XT is a natural testosterone boosting supplement that uses all natural herbs, vitamins and minerals to help the body produce its own testosterone.
The claims are pretty bold, but if you do your research (which you should always do), it makes sense how it work.
It has been a known fact for many years that it is possible to increase stamina and even energy with vitamins and minerals. See this post for more information: http://www.spartagen-xt.com/increase-stamina-energy-vitamins/.
While it takes a few weeks to see results, it is definitely worth the wait. Plus once you order, it arrives quickly and discretely.
Plus it really is only made for men of 30, so if you are in your 20s, I suggest you hit the gym and get in shape. You probably do not have low testosterone.
Heck even if you are over 30, still hit the gym – it will just add to the benefits. Everyone looks and feels better when they are in shape, right?
Flash Update: We are such fans of Spartagen XT that we decided to write our own review. You can read all about it here: Full Spartagen XT Review – What I Really Think
So there you have it. After using it ourselves, we feel most qualified to give our opinion.

A necromancer's lair is a fell place full of horrific, blasphemous sights and sounds.
Use the table below, to generate details of the horrible sounds the PCs hear while exploring the necromancer's lair.
- Uncontrollable screaming suddenly rends the air. It continues for several seconds before abruptly ceasing.
- A soft sobbing, from an undeterminable source, reaches the PCs' ears.
- The clanking of chains and the thud of something falling sunders the quiet.
- A soft cackling comes from the room the party just left.
- Moaning—perhaps the wind or the damned spirits of those the necromancer has transformed into the undead—echoes through the area. The moaning rises and falls in intensity for several minutes, before dying away.
- A loud clatter—perhaps that of falling stones or a collapsing skeleton—reaches the party's ears. Moments later, a skull rolls into view around the corner. Investigations reveals a pile of mouldering bones.
- Everyone in the party hears several loud thuds emanating from an unexplored direction. Only perceptive PCs hear the ensuing cackling and low whining sounds coming from the same direction.
- The distant clacking on bone on stone suggests that somewhere out of sight, an animate skeleton—or two—patrols the halls.
- Loud maniacal laughter sounds from somewhere deeper into the complex.
- A loud thunderclap rends the stillness of the air. As it echoes through the complex, the hair on the back of the PCs' neck suddenly rises as if some electrical charge—or other fell energy—fills the air.

Stay safe in the sun this year
When you spend time in the sun do you tan easily or burn to a crisp? Do you get itchy, prickly skin rashes? Do you break out in lumps and bumps, or get covered in insect bites? You don't have to be abroad for these things to happen, they can happen at home too, at least this year they could! You're not alone-lots of people have these problems and here are some solutions.
For many of you the prickly, itchy rashes are caused by the heat of the sun, while others are sensitive to the ingredients in the sunscreen they use. Many people take A.Vogel Urtica/Nettle, drops or Nettle capsules before and during the holiday to prevent this problem and they find them effective. Urtica/nettle is a natural anti-histamine.
If sunscreen is causing the itchy rash then change your sunscreen to a more natural product. The brand that works for me, as I am prone to breaking out in blotchy itchy patches if I don't use it, is Green People Sun Screen. I find this one works extremely well.
If you're unlucky and you get bitten when on holiday, or indeed in your own back garden, try High B1 Complex. At home take it once a day throughout the season, customers find this works really well. For holidays combine it with a high strength garlic supplement. Take both for a week or two before the holiday and throughout to ensure you keep the bugs away.
Nobody intends to get sunburnt, at least I hope they don't. I think we all know someone who has managed to scald themselves.
Aloe Vera is great to cool and soothe the skin. If you're in pain then you can mix one or two drops of Lavender essential oil with the Aloe in the palm of your hand. You'll need to apply a couple it of times as the hotter the skin is the quicker it will soak in.
Lavender is also great to soothe itchy bites, cuts, and bruises. Dabbed behind the ears and on the ankles it may keep the bugs away. Rubbed into your temples it may help you get a good night's sleep.
Keep your skin hydrated inside and out. Drink plenty of water or coconut water.

Discover the largest floating villa in the world
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CNN) - If you are stranded on a lake for a few days, will it be attractive to you? If, if not, one destination in the Maldives has changed your mind.
Villa The Private Reserve, the world's largest floating villa, is inspired by the Gili Langanfushi Hotel, which will be the top-ranked Trepper Advisors in 2015.
The villa has a traditional straw roof, like those seen in the Maldives, but comes with four bedrooms, a cinema and a water slide, allowing the skiers to land directly on the lake.
Not surprisingly, this very luxurious villa is one of the tropical destinations for the world's richest people, who seek a lot of privacy, with an enormous area of 18,000 square feet.
Guests can enjoy villa accommodation, access to the luxury of personal service, and access to the villa with a private boat.
The villa has a huge space and may look like a private resort surrounded only by tropical fish, squid and sea turtles.
The villa, built 13 years ago, has been transformed from a modest, large villa into a four-room villa today. "In 2004, the villa consisted of two bedrooms, a kitchen, a spa, And a room for the personal server, "adding:" We started getting requests from royal families, who wanted to book two or three rooms, and other wealthy customers. "
Renovated in 2015, the villa has 2 en suite bedrooms and 2 main bedrooms. You can add long wooden corridors for each suite, multiple outdoor terraces and suites, a spa, a full kitchen, a small gym, a cinema, an open living area, a pool area, personal server suites, a rooftop terrace and a 680-square-foot swimming pool.
"The main focus is the environment, using sustainable sources and combining the Maldivian culture and the product," Boudhane said.
The straw roofs in the "Private Reserve" are all the same as the other Jili Lancashoshi villas, made of palm paper used to build roofs.
The furniture is made from recycled Indian wood and Australian rice, with a floating villa valued at $ 14,700 for one night's stay.
