Welcome to the National Center for Victims of Crime

We are the nation's leading resource and advocacy organization for crime victims and those who serve them. Please join us as we forge a national commitment to help victims of crime rebuild their lives.

The term "restitution" in the criminal justice system means payment by an offender to the victim for the harm caused by the offender's wrongful acts. Courts have the authority to order convicted offenders to pay restitution to victims as part of their sentences. In approximately one-third of states, courts are required to order restitution to victims in cases involving certain types of crimes, typically violent felony offenses, but sometimes other serious offenses as well. Restitution can cover any out-of-pocket losses directly relating to the crime, including:

  • medical expenses
  • therapy costs
  • prescription charges
  • counseling costs
  • lost wages
  • expenses related to participating in the criminal justice process (such as travel costs, child care expenses, etc.)
  • lost or damaged property
  • insurance deductibles
  • crime-scene clean up, or any other expense that resulted directly from the crime

Restitution will not cover such things as pain and suffering or emotional distress, only damages that are easy to prove-things for which a victim might have a bill or a receipt.

The difference between restitution and compensation

While restitution is court-ordered payment from a convicted offender, crime victim compensation is a state government program that pays many of the out-of-pocket expenses of victims of violent crime even when there is no arrest or prosecution. Ordinarily, to be eligible for compensation the victim is required to report the offense within a certain amount of time, cooperate in the investigation and prosecution, and file an application within a set time. The expenses covered by compensation vary and are usually set by state law. All compensation programs cover medical expenses, most cover counseling, and very few cover any property loss.

In comparison, restitution can only be ordered in cases where someone has been convicted. However, restitution can be ordered in almost any case (although courts may be required to order it only for certain offenses), and can be ordered for a wider variety of losses, including property loss.

A victim cannot collect both compensation and restitution for the same losses. Where compensation has already paid for some of the victim's losses, a court may order the offender to reimburse the state compensation program and order the offender to pay the victim for losses that weren't covered by compensation.

The difference between restitution and civil damages

Restitution, as noted above, is ordered by a criminal court after the offender has been found guilty. Civil damages are ordered when someone has won a lawsuit in civil court. Victims of crime can obtain both restitution and civil damages. A victim can sue an offender even when the offender has been ordered to pay restitution. Civil damages can include losses not covered by restitution, such as payment for pain and suffering, payment for intentional infliction of emotional distress, and even punitive damages-damages imposed just to punish the defendant. However, as in cases where the victim receives crime victim compensation and court-ordered restitution, victims cannot collect twice for the same loss. Usually a civil judgment is decreased by the amount of restitution that the victim has already received for a loss.

Increasing the likelihood that restitution will be ordered

Victims can do two things to increase the likelihood that restitution will be ordered in their case: gather information about their financial loss, and request that restitution be ordered.

To increase the chances that restitution will be ordered, victims should make sure their victim impact statement includes a summary of the out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the crime. The prosecutor's office may have financial impact forms that can help victims think about the possible losses that could be covered by restitution. Victims should also tell prosecutors early in the process that restitution is important to them, so that prosecutors can be prepared to request restitution as part of any plea agreement, sentence, or condition of probation. If victims have the opportunity to address the court at the time a plea agreement is presented or at sentencing, they should specifically describe the financial impact of the crime and, if permitted in that state, request restitution. (In some states, a victim's in-court statement must be limited to describing the impact of the offense and cannot include any opinion about the sentence that should be given, including restitution. In those states, the prosecutor can still seek restitution.)

Courts may order full or partial restitution

When courts order restitution, they look not only at the victim's losses but also at the offender's ability to pay. In some states, the court may reduce the total amount of restitution ordered if the offender is unlikely to be able to pay that amount. In other states, courts will order the offender to pay for the full amount of the loss, but then set a payment schedule based on the offender's finances, which may only be a minimal amount per month.

Collecting restitution

Collection of restitution is often limited by the offender's ability to pay. As a result, many victims wait years before they receive any restitution, and they may never receive the full amount of restitution ordered.

Collection also depends on enforcement of the court's order of restitution, either by the criminal justice system or the victim. There are many laws and procedures used to make sure the offender pays as ordered.

For example, where payment of restitution is made a condition of probation or parole, the probation or parole officer must monitor whether payments are being made on time. The victim may help provide this information to the probation or parole officer. If the offender is about to be released from probation or parole, but has not paid restitution as ordered, this information must be conveyed to the court or parole board. Victims who have not received restitution as ordered should ask the probation or parole officer how this information will be provided to the court or parole board. In some states, probation or parole can be extended when the offender has willfully failed to pay restitution.

In those states with prison work programs, restitution payments are typically collected out of the wages of those programs. Some states collect restitution from state income tax refunds, prisoner accounts, lottery winnings, or damage awards from lawsuits against the prison.

Where the offender has not paid restitution as ordered-has "defaulted" in payment-restitution often can be collected by the same methods used to enforce other court judgments, such as attachments of assets or garnishment of wages. In some states, the victim is authorized to take these actions; in other states, enforcement is up to the prosecutor, the court, or another official.

Many states provide that restitution orders become civil judgments. This expands the ability of victims to collect restitution and also means the orders can stay in effect for many years, typically ten to twenty years. In many jurisdictions, civil judgments can be renewed, so they can stay in effect even longer. During that time, the offender's financial circumstances may change: he or she may have inherited property, won a legal judgment, or become employed. Depending on the state, the civil judgment may be enforceable immediately, or enforceable when the offender defaults on payment, or enforceable only after the criminal justice process is completed and the offender has been released from probation, prison, or parole. A victim may need to hire an attorney to help enforce the civil judgment.

To find out more about your state's restitution law, contact your state Attorney General, county/city prosecutor, county probation/parole office or your local law library: Check in the Blue Pages of your local phone book under the appropriate section heading of either "Local Governments," "County Governments," or "State Government."

5 ways to make money from WordPress blog

We can not deny the usefulness of owning a blog. Everyone writes blogs to exchange their ideas, share their experiences or to promote their own creativity and so on. However, blog also become a “moneymaking machine” if you choose a suitable and effective method.

This article will offer you suggestions to earn money effectively from WordPress blog.

1. Making money by advertising

Advertising by Pay Per Click (PPC) and  Pay Per View (PPV)

You can simply insert ads into your blog and and guide them to the direct benefit for visitors. They can be textlinks, banners, videos and other multimedia ads. You are paid when visitors view ads and even get more paid when they click on them.

 Adsense:  Google ad’s for publishers.

This is a very popular platform with more than 2 million publishers. It is very flexible and provides a lot of tools, types of ads, statistics and especially, it is completely free. However, Adsense’s censorship is quite strict.

This is a great alternatives for Adsense, is managed by WordPress. It includes an enormous community with millions of blogs hosted on WordPress.com. They offer advertisements which is rich in creation, optimized to display well on any WordPress themes  but have very good price.

BuySellAds :

This is a popular network among influential bloggers and Content publishers. They have high requirements, so it is very hard to be accepted. However, once you achieve that, you become a part of huge sales network.

2. Making money by shortened link

Shortening link is the way to advertise without taking up your space on your blog.

No need to insert any ads on your blog but you have some shortened links posted on blog. When someone clicks on these links, they are redirected to an ads website then you will receive a sum of money. The visitor will have to click on Skip ad button to visit the website they want.

Here are the 3 best shortening link websites:

  •  Adf.ly:

Most of the people use Adfly because it is an old and legal, trusted service to earn money on short links and which takes best care of it’s customers.

  • Rurl.org:

Shortening link service is not only extremely simple for using but also for working interface.

  • Moourl.com

This service has a very lovely interface.

3.  Selling products and Pay Content

This is a way to make money without advertising. All you need to do is create something so attractive that user will accept to pay for it. For examples:

Digital publications:

Something that users can download immediately after the payment. It can be an e-book, photo, unique fonts, logos, icons, themes, plugins and more … You can even create a digital store, offering products with complete service and support, updates.

Premium content :

If your articles or your guides so very popular that many people are searching for, you might consider putting them on the list of content dedicated to paying subscribers. Users can read a short section of the course or your guides, but only those who have registered and paid can see the full content. Remember that users often do not want to pay. There for, your content need to have a very high quality.

If you represent a community of people who have the same passion and have a certain influence (web design, WordPress, social media, SEO, web technologies …). You can provide some assessment campaigns, promotions, contests, newsletters, ads …

4.  Placing advertiser’ banners

When using advertiser’ banners, you need to pay attention to follow some principles:

Do not place two banners of the same size on the same page, do not place banners in the vertical sliding form, only allow to place a maximum of 5 banners if  you can create DoubleClick for Publishers link with another  monetization channel, only place a maximum of 3 ad codes having display forms are images or texts on one unique website. Only by complying with the Google’s principles, you can have a stable source of income from the Placing advertiser’ banners.

Besides, you can be charged per click or views by placing advertiser’ banners if there is an invitation from an advertiser. In order to earn much money from placing advertiser’ banners, you need to find out a nice location to place banners, optimize homepage, optimize the articles you place advertiser’s banners, optimize website speed and WordPress can do these things.

Here are some display forms of Placing advertiser’ banners monetizing on blog that you should know:

PTC (Paid To Click):

This is a form of pay-per-click when your users click on the ads in your website.

For example: PTC’s price is $ 0.1 means that when 10 people clicking on the ads, you will get 1$.

PPA (Pay Per Action):

This is a form of paying for you when someone doing something in the ad.

For example:  If visitors register to a certain page, or fill out a survey, you will receive the money.

PPM (Pay Per Million):

This making money form is quite difficult because you need a lot of visitors one day. It will pay you basing on the price per million ad impressions

5. Consulting

Probably all of you also are very familiar with the phrase “legal consulting”,”admissions consulting”, “psychological consulting”… a lot of problems need to consult. So what does consulting mean? As far as I know, consulting is a job requires the workers an extremely deep understanding about the field they consult. Moreover, they even have to give convincing answers, accurate, easy going, easy to understand for customers (who need advice) understand the problem and solve their problems.

Days ago, whenever you need the consultation of a lawyer or a doctor…people need to find the counselor’s office. Nowadays, this becomes outdated and no more suitable. Insteads, you just need a simple manipulation Google Search to find out a consulting blog. Modern technology products help the interaction between consulter and those who need consultation become very easy and effective.

Thanks to the outstanding advantages is easy to do, does not require capital, does not cost office leasing so that consulting services through blogs has become the most popular type of business nowadays.

Your success depends on the amount of visits that blogs achieve. This is related to the blog’s quality about both of interface and content. Therefore, do not forget to take care of your blog well, combining PR strategies, reasonable ad.

I'm back!

Posted by -vincent-

"I promise not to abandon this blog of mine again. However, I shall only go for unannounced hiatus."

There. A promise made. But I have a feeling I'll break it anyhoo.

Anyways it's been months since I've said stuff on this domain of mine. Not too sure where to start.
Life in all has been okay thus far. Great things have happened during this hiatus - I got to meet Dr. M up close, went on the Skybridge of the Petronas Twin Towers, made a whole lot of new friends, established contacts, pulled some strings, ruffled some feathers, and inching closer to that seemingly elusive dream job of mine - a Malaysian diplomat :)

And yet as my undergraduate days are numbered, (finally, it's about time!) I still don't know what's in store for me, or rather what I should do next.
I could:
i. get a job. a good-paying job mind you.
ii. continue studying. (international relations is probably what I wanna focus on)
iii. be a bum.

Ok strike out option (iii).
And I have holidays in mind. Destinations I wanna go. Bali, Siem Reap, Jogjakarta, and Australia for now. But alas, the money factor is not very promising these days. Sighs.

I'm gonna get some sleep now.
And dream.
Not sure where that's gonna get me, but I'll take my chances.

Father I thank you for the power of your word.

Father anoint your word today as a seed in my life and in the life of all those who pray this prayer.  For I know that all truths resides in your word, and your word will bring life changing experiences, destiny accelerating and revelations of you.

You gave us the word that it may guide us, instruct us, protect us as well as discipline us.

Father I seek the word, through your spirit, under your anointing that it may provide the necessary instructions on becoming a good listener, and prepare my mind for speaking the truth, that I may become a doer of your word.

Father I realize that only through my obedience to the word will I be able to rise above the ways of the world and reach my place of anointing where the Holy Spirit will dwell with me and provide me with the power to transform my life from the old to the new in Jesus name.

Father I pray expecting that the changes that are now taking place in my life will mold me and shape me into the new person you have chosen me to be.  There is nothing more important to me this day than for me to be able to walk out my purpose and move swiftly towards my destination in becoming complete and fulfill your purpose for my life.

Father I am able, and I am ready to be transformed into a good listener, and to be used for your glory in speaking truth to power.

Now Father, grant me the wisdom to do your will before man that he may see your good works as I become a doer of your word in Jesus Christ.

Father, I am claiming the victory over all evil thoughts, over all evil spirits, and the power of Satan to keep me in bondage.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

A peek at our vintage motel collection

As winter approaches and we all start looking forward to next Spring (and warm road trips) we thought it would be fun to share a few pieces from the Vintage Roadside ephemera collection. The pieces below are a few of our favorites from our tourist court, motor court, and motel collection. The next time you head out on the road we'd like to encourage you to keep an eye out for mom and pop lodging. They might not have wi-fi or a fitness center but they sure provide some great memories along the way!

The Roberta Motor Court was once located on US 341 in Roberta, Georgia. The court is a nice example of lodging that also provided an onsite restaurant for guests. Love the sign with the landscaped garden bed around it!

This copy of the 1956 New England Motor Court and Cabin Guide was provided by the Ko-Z Motor Court & Diner of Clarendon, Vermont. The guide lists numerous lodging choices for those on the road between New York and Quebec. These vintage motor court guides generally listed "member" businesses and many times included black and white photos of the establishments.

We love the pink bedspreads along with the matching pink car shown in this vintage postcard for the Park Motel of Morris, Illinois. The motel offered many of the amenities guests had come to expect - air conditioning, sound conditioning, wall to wall carpet, color TV in each room, direct dial phones, and a combination tub and shower.

The vintage postcard for Felix's Motel is a bit earlier than the Park Motel above in that they are still advertising "steam heat", a cooling system of "fans", radios in each room, and good ol' "cross ventilation" which meant you could open a window on each side of the room to cool down:-)

The Combahee Motor Court appears to have been quite a midcentury gem. They billed themselves as a "Modernistic Motor Court" and from the looks of the architecture they certainly were! The location of the Combahee was Garden Corners, South Carolina.

We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!

Usborne Battlegame book 2 Knights at War

Probably my favourite, this book was illustrated by Gerry Embleton and Angus McBride, among others.

The four games are:

1 The Battle of Arsouf - Richard the Lionheart against Saladin

2 Siege! - rival lords (the Earl d'Assault and Baron de Fender) struggle for control of a castle

3 Border Raiders - knights try to drive back invaders who are burning villges and plundering cattle

4 Tournament - jousting in a grand tournament

I remember playing the Arsouf and Siege games. I am missing the pieces for Arsouf and Border Raiders but the rules list the pieces and miniatures should substitutre well.

A pleasant surprise. I bought that book in a Spanish translation in 1980 at Madrid. My wife played her first and last wargame with the Battle of Arsouf. Actually, she don't like the hobby but she is very proud from the 'little lead men' of her eccentric husband!
Thanks from the memories

Knights at War SCANNED

Anybody have a copy of the Wild West?

Vintage Wargaming said...

I've got a copy of it

Anonymous said...

You do? Any chance you can share it, scanned or..? I've been looking for years and can't find it anywhere.

Apart from Knights, I also have World War II, Galactic War, and Fighting Ships. If you like those they can be put online.

Vintage Wargaming said...

I'm very careful about respecting intellectual property and I wouldn't post an entire book without the publisher's/authors's permission.I did ask Usborne at the time of original posts without hearing anything back.

If you send me a comment (which I won't publish) with a contact email address, I'll see if there is something else I can do to help.

Article: Windows 8 and the Home Theater PC

With the official consumer launch of Windows 8 just a few days away, there will no doubtbe a deluge of media bashing the release and some of the more controversial changes that have been made. Whether it’s justified or not, it has always happened with every new OS launch for as long as I can remember. Rather than critiquing the new OS as a whole, I’m more interested in what it means for a somewhat neglected and niche product – Windows Media Center and the Home Theater PC in general.

In my first article on Vintech, I’m doing to dive into that very topic and hopefully provide some insight on what I feel will be the future of Media Center and the Home Theater PC.

Read: Windows 8 and the Home Theater PC

Introducing, “Vintech”

Welcome to my new project, “Vintech.” This is my personal blog which will be a place used to collect my thoughts, opinions and insights on a bunch of different topics. While I enjoy the work I do on my other site,, I find it limiting to be focused on any one specific topic or area of interest. Vintech will allow me to share content that falls outside of the realm of the emulation scene.

I have owned this domain for over ten years now and during that time it actually hasn’t been used for any one specific project. I look forward to working on this blog as well as taking my first jump into WordPress and I hope that you’ll enjoy it as well!

Maximize the Use of Stamp and Die Combo

Hello friends!
I am delighted to share a fun project with the Stamp and Die combo.

Basically, I sprayed on the white card stock with various Distress Inks (see links at the end of the post). I then stamped the leaf images and made the die cut.

thinking of you #1

The following photos should help you to see my process.

One special thing I did was the "Inlaid Die Cut". This gives the design a more polished look.

I chose a serene and subdue colors for this "thinking of you" card. I added some black splatter with some Enamel Drops and watercolor.

Review: Amarok 2.0.2 - Better Than 1.4?

Amarok always had the reputation of being the most popular and powerful audio player available on the Linux platform, and it really deserved that position. I myself am a fan of Amarok for over three years now, and there was nothing I could think of which Amarok 1.4 did not have.

Usual instance of Amarok 2.0.2 playing

For this review I used Amarok 2.0.2 (which was released to the public on March 5), included in Kubuntu 9.04 Beta (with all the upgrades to date) and I scanned several Ogg Vorbis and FLAC albums, all of them with correctly filled-in tags. I also included a compilation with several artists, which from the start messed up the entire playlist. That is, the albums from a single artist were correctly displayed, while the compilation album was spread in the entire playlist (see the screenshots below). In fact, Amarok only tries to organise tracks on the compilation depending on the artist. So if we have three artists with two songs each, they will be spread in the playlist, sorted by artist's name. Although I like how the single-artist albums are displayed in the playlist, when it comes to compilation this approach tends to mess things up and look inconsistent.

A compilation album including several different artists is spread in the entire playlist

The current version of Amarok 2 does not include all the features 1.4 had, like the equalizer, statistics or queue manager, however it is a new foundation for the releases which will follow. The introduction of widgets is very useful if you ask me, and I also liked the new interface. I know there were a lot of people complaining that the central widget space is a waste and takes up too much of the area when the playlist could have been, but I think it's useful this way. The new approach gives Amarok a more organised look and a logical way of finding all the information one needs at any given time. configuration

Another thing which I miss from Amarok 1.4 series is the ability to go directly to the next and previous tracks in the tag editor. That was a cool feature which made Amarok my audio tag editor of choice. Still, it allows for mass-tagging, which is a good thing. Of course, I'm sure these things will be implemented in the future.

Amarok correctly auto-detected the covers inside the albums' directories and displayed them in the middle panel, which proves to be very useful if used with a lyrics widget, for example.

The collection tab resembles pretty much the one in 1.4, however instead of organizing artists from the compilation albums inside that album's title, they are spread all over the place. This can get extremely annoying if you have large compilations of, say, 50 or more artists, and only a few songs from each of them. Or at least, I liked more the approach in 1.4. After an application restart Amarok did not remember the position of the left tabs, which were disabled (the Collection, Internet, Playlist and Files tabs).

The Add Media... option in the Playlist menu will only allow to add files to the playlist, so I had to use the right-click menu option Load (or Append to Playlist) from the Collection or the file manager tabs.

Some of the old features are still available, like the cover manager (which hasn't changed a bit) and the file manager. I was happy to see the old bug which froze Amarok (at least on Debian Lenny - stable) when right-clicking on a song and going to Edit Track Details in the file manager disappeared. Well, since it was rewritten it is normal to be this way.

A whole bunch of other features are now included in Amarok. Except for the widgets, the Internet tab provides access to no less than seven services, like song submission and integration, music from and, OpmlDirectory (for lists of podcasts) or Shoutcast Directory (for lists of online radio stations). The script manager also allows to download other scripts from the Internet directly from within Amarok, and they are installed automatically, just like in 1.4 (and with a refined interface, cutting off the additional - and useless - steps when you had to click twice OK - once when the script was downloaded and the second time to notify you that the script was successfully installed).

Amarok now uses only QtScript, so all the scripts for 1.4 had to be rewritten. No more support for languages like Perl, Python or Bash.

As an Amarok 1.4 fan, I must say I also liked Amarok 2 a lot, but there are a lot of things which really need to be fixed and features to be added. What I like the best is the new approach (yeah I know there are a *lot* of people who don't like the new look), but it seems to me the way the widgets are organised and the space management is much more compact and useful now. The playlist is definitely another plus, since it looks twice as good as that simple list in Amarok 1.4 and offers a more clear view on which album belongs to which artist. It is visually more appealing. Instead, it really needs a fast way to jump to song using the keyboard.

Amarok 2.0.2 and KDE desktop effects enabled

I'm looking forward to Amarok 2.1 and I hope only for the best from the team behind this loved and popular player.

faemir said...

Well 2.1 brings heavy ui customisation so all those who despise the middle area (not me, I love it!) can get rid of it and sat on 1.4 in the meantime (or use mpd or something).

CJ said...

Amarok 2.0.2 is an unholy mess! 4 years ago when I 1st used Linux, SuSE 9.2, Amarok was the app that I gushed over to my Windows using friends. I'm currently an Ubuntu user but Amarok is still my music player of choice. I even briefly installed the latest version on my machine but quickly got rid of it. It is unorganized and looks ugly! I'm sure there are those that love it but I'm not 1 of them.

Anonymous said...

Amarok 1.4 was the only media player that handled embedded album art properly. For some stupid reason the Amarok developers didn't think it was important enough to include this in Amarok 2.

Anonymous said...

I tried using other audio software when I bought my Dell Mini w/ the Gnome desktop but after 2 days, I had enough and DLed Amarok and VLC to take care of all my audiovisual needs. Still havent found anything that tops those two programs.

Amarok 2 is not bad but Im gonna wait before I move from 1.4. (Some people in FLOSS feel the need to have the latest even though its not ready. Case in point, KDE4. There was no need to switch from 3.5 until you felt 4 was ready and a year after it came out, 4.2 is finally ready for mom and pops).

Honestly, I could stay on 1.4 forever since I have no need, nor do I use most of the features like album art and so on.
Worst of all, I dont want a music player to take up 99% of my screen space. I dont like Songbird and I dont like Itunes.
I want small, compact and unobtrusive. I just need the time playing/remaining to be shown, play/stop and a small playlists space... you know, the way Ive been using Winamp on Windows for almost a decade.
I havent found it yet in Amarok 2 so maybe they havent got to it but many software have minimalist versions too, I hope 2 will have it too.

I like everything in 2 but the size of the interface.

Stephen said...

I too experienced the shock and horror that was Amarok 2.0 when I ugraded from Fedora 8 to Fedora 10. Even going so far as to make the comparison, in my mind at least, of WinXP -> Vista (blech..), KDE 3.5 -> KDE4, etc.. (you see what I am getting at). Seems like some things changed for the sake of changing, and some key functionality that made Amarok the perfect solution, was gone. I even looked up and found the how-to and files to wipe 2.0 and install 1.4. Definitely a trying time of adjustment. But that is where it stopped. Because I realized something. Over the 2-3 years I have been using Amarok, the project has had one of the most aggressive update release cycles of any of my most used applications. So in the 3 months I have been using the new Amarok there have been at least 2 updates, possibly 3, but who's counting. The Amarok team has not let me down, I know the application is getting better. Just my 2 cents...

blinkingeye said...

Hated Amarok 2.0 so much I switched to Songbird which, once I got ipod support working, is really really good.

Matthijs said...

I have to say that I have come to hate Amarok 2.0,
The most annoying thing is, I used Amarok as my manager and organizer. The fact that it could play music was just an added bonus. What I really hate (and I don't use this word often) is the fact that Amarok 2 can't recognize the tag's I've made with 1.4. When I pressed "organize collection" all hell broke loose which I'm still trying to repair in my Music folder.

I really really really want my lovely Amarok 1.4 back, and to the 9 hellz with that stupid widget area etc.

Nicholas said...

Wow, Simply amazing how bad this is. Amarok 1.4 was fantastic. I can't even get 2.0 to play music! It throws up an error when I start it and I have no clue where to look up hardware settings for the sound card. The kicker is I've been trying other music players to see which I like best and every single one works perfectly fine with the audio. Here's a short list, minirok (Amarok 1.4 based player), Exaile, Songbird, Rhythmbox, Listen and even mplayer and mpg123. To top it off, the interface is not very intuitive, it messed up my organization for my music and the overhead is huge. I have an older laptop I run it on as well and it takes forever to load and eats up quite a bit of memory. Also, where did all the configuration options go? I used to be able to customize so much and tweak it just how I liked it! Now I go in the menu options and you can't do a thing with it. Ughh! Maybe I'd like it more if I could get it to play music, but for now, I am going to try and downgrade back to 1.4.

Anonymous said...

On 1.4, I got a lot of non-linux people interested in crossing over just to use this awesome app. It could handle my 110GB music collection with ease by utilising mysql. It saved me from the havoc an old version of iTunes wreaked on my music filesystem. I loved it.

Like many others have already stated, 2.x is complete worthless garbage. It chokes on sorting, it looks like crap. It hasn't got the features it used to have. It basically does not work and it gets in my way.

I am now looking for another application to replace it.

Maybe later releases will work, but in the mean time.. Amarok has lost the plot. What Kool-Aid did they drink?

Wangberg said...

i also feel the pain as many others do. 2.x is a piece of trash and still cannot understand how the same developers who created something as amazing as 1.4 pushed out something as horrible as 2.x.

ditto on:

-no configuration options
-widget area is far to large / waste of space
-scripts bug out
-GUI is totally counter intuitive with the Rewind,Play,Pause,& FF buttons in the furthest location away from the 1.4 location (on the top left side of the screen)
-no equalizer

Amarok will loose major music player market share if they don't do something at critical speed to remedy this disaster!

how disappoining.

Rewarp said...

Amarok 2 made me download and try other music players.

I hate the fact that there is no obvious way to edit my own saved playlists (I still can't figure out how to edit the bloody thing without the hassle of loading the playlist, editting, then saving it).

The old Amarok allowed me to drag and drop files into playlists I had created.

What I wanted was a music player that allowed me to quickly and easily organise my music files, something 1.4 did very well. The automated playlists etc were nice, but unnecessary.

This has been very disappointing.

mischorradas said...

I think Amarok 2.0 is rubbish. I will downgrade to 1.4. I don't find configuration options too, as told by others.
How was this shit created?

vp said...

I have tremendous trouble on AMD64 FC10 having Amarok 1.4 installed, but in a conflicting way preventing any useful library updates. Why can't there be two brands of Amarok available as with Audacity (another useful application which was somehow screwed recently)?!

vp said...

How about launching a petition in order to have Amarok 1.4 available also in the future releases of any distribution of any OS?

Anonymous said...

I'm a major podcast and streaming radio listener and I loved Amarok 1.4

I could create subfolders and then organize my podcasts by topic area.

I could also organize my radio streams by network for example...a folder for CBC streams, BBC, ABC, NPR etc.

Amarok 1.4 was great! I can't do anything like this in Amarok 2.0 ... or if there is a way, I haven't figured it out yet.

I'm running Linux Mint 7 on my notebook...fortunately on my desktop I'm still running a bit older version of Ubuntu Studio Edition and therefore using Amarok 1.4 and I can still do things the "old" way.

Anonymous said...

It's obvious a fork of Amarok 1.4 is needed. Keep the interface as it is but convert it to Qt4 so it works ok with KDE4. I haven't a clue about C++ but I'm willing to learn haha.

Anonymous said...

I got tired of wasting hours trying to use Amarok 2 every few months so I forked 1.4.10

Anonymous said...

Amarok 1.4 was the best audioplayer ever (even though it had it's quirks).

Amarok 2.0 is just a useless piece of junk.

Top 10 Highest Paid Youtubers

It is no secret that some of the most popular youtubers make a lot of money from their youtube channels. This is commonly referred to as ‘youtube money’, you can read more about Youtube earnings and CPM works in our What is YouTube CPM? How To Increase your CPM article. However, how much youtubers make and how exactly youtubers get paid is often kept under the covers. Not anymore though, in this post we’ll uncover how much money popular youtubers (roughly) make from their youtube channels.

1. PewDiePie ($7.4 million Yearly – verified)

PewDiePieOne of the most commonly googled terms when we researched this topic was ‘how much does pewdiepie make’ and for good reason. PewDiePie is by far the most popular youtuber in terms of subscribers and views and thus makes the most money off of youtube. According to a variety of media sources such as The Independent, The Guardian and Time his earnings in 2014 were around $7.4 Million. The amount was revealed after the earnings of his company ‘PewDie Productions’ were published in a financial filing in Sweden. PewDiePie is also one of the very few people who have opened up about his youtube earnings and adressed his income last year in one of his videos after receiving a lot of hate for making that amount of money for playing video games.

2. VanossGaming ($600K – $9.6M Yearly – Estimated)

VanossGamingVanossGaming is a popular gaming channel on youtube which has racked op over 13.5 million subscribers and 2.6 Billion views since starting the channel on Sep 15th, 2011. Vanossgaming plays a wide variety of games such as GTA 5, Garry’s Mod, Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty 4, Dead Rising 3 and Skate 3 to provide entertainment to a wide audience.

3. elrubiusOMG ($418K – $6.7M Yearly – Estimated)

elrubiusOMGElrubius is the first Spanish speaking youtuber featured in our top 10 and comes in at the third place. Elrubius is a mainly gaming channel with a variety of games but also uploads ‘troll’ videos and vlogging videos. Elrubius is almost 13 million subscribers strong with over 2.3 billion views.

4. Smosh ($320K – $5.1M – Estimated)

SmoshSmosh is a probably close second to the highest paid youtuber PewDiePie but we have only taken into account their main channel for this list. Their main channel has 21 million subscribers and over 4.5 BILLION views. Smosh their earnings are more difficult to estimate since they have a variety of channels for comedy sketches, vlogging, gaming, different languages and cartoons. Smosh also made their own movie and runs a couple of popular websites. The earnings estimated above are ONLY from their main channel and will likely be much, much higher.

5. Fine Brothers Entertainment ($243K – $3.9M Yearly – Estimated)

Fine Brothers EntertainmentBrothers Benny and Rafi started by making feature films in high school that played in film festivals. 8 years later their youtube channel has grown into a multi-faceted entertainment studio with over 3 billion views, 17 million subscribers, over 30 staff members and TV shows on multiple TV channels. Their most popular videos on their channel are the react videos where they show the reactions of different groups to a variety of topics.

6. ERB ($153K – $2.5M Yearly – Estimated)

Epic Rap BattlesERB forms a nice distraction in this list because he is not known for gaming videos or comedy sketches. ERB is best known for the Rap Battles they create. ERB is run by three people and create epic rap battles of history. ERB has 12.5 million subscribers and just over 1.8 billion views.

7. HolaSoyGerman ($150K – $2.4M Yearly – Estimated)

HolySoyGermanHolySoyGerman is a popular Spanish speaking youtuber who has racked up over 2 BILLION views with his comedy sketches. His main account has 23.5 million subscribers and even his secondary youtube account has surpassed 8 million subscribers. HolySoyGerman started his main youtube channel on Sep 8, 2011 and has grown at a very impressive rate making him the seventh highest earning youtuber in our top 10.

8. Sky Does Minecraft ($148K – $2.4M Yearly – Estimated)

Sky Does MinecraftIt is not difficult to guess what this youtube channel is about. Sky Does Minecraft is of course,known for Minecraft videos. Sky Does Minecraft makes videos about minigames, mod showcases and adventure maps but also does some real life skits. Sky Does Minecraft has profited from the explosive growth of the computer game Minecraft and has build a big subscriber base with 11.2 million subscribers and 2.7 billion views.

9. NigaHiga ($83.6K – $1.3M Yearly – Estimated)

NigaHigaNigaHiga is a very popular youtuber with 8 different youtube channels, his own app and his own merchandise so his estimated earnings are probably on the low side. NigaHiga was one of the early youtube adopters and started his channel back in 2006. After almost 10 years on youtube he has certainly grown a huge audience on the site earning him a nineth spot in our top 10.

10. JennaMarbles ($76.2K – $1.2M Yearly – Estimated)

Jenna MarblesJenna Marbles also makes a very respectable amount off youtube and places tenth in our top 10 highest paid youtubers. Jenna’s youtube channel has grown to 15.3 million subscribers on h by doing rants, challenges, collabs, comedy sketches, pranks and much more. With her wide variety of videos she also appeals to a large audience which is probably why she has so many subscribers.

How much youtubers exactly make will always be very difficult to tell since the earnings per view can vary based on a variety of factors. That means if two youtubers have the exact same amount of views on one of their videos their earnings can be very different. A lot of youtubers have also added different income streams by selling products like merchandise, apps or advertising which makes it even more difficult to estimate their earnings.

Has this inspired you to start your own YouTube channel but don’t know how to get started? Use our buying guides to get the right equipment! If you want to start vlogging you can use our vlogging camera buyers guide but we also have equipment guides for many other types of equipment for gaming channels, or motovloggers.

The Field - Science of the miraculous.

I'm reading a fabulous book called The Field by Lynne McTaggart. It tells the story of a group of frontier scientists who discovered that the Zero Point Field - an ocean of subatomic vibrations in the space between things - connects everything in the universe, much like the Force in Star Wars.
The Field offers a radically new view of the way our world and our bodies work. The human mind and body are not distinct and separate from their environment, but a packet of pulsating energy constantly interacting with this vast energy sea.
The Field creates a picture of an interconnected universe and a new scientific theory which makes sense of 'supernatural' phenomena.

"I think this is an important book and should be widely read. It stretches the imagination, making a good case that we are on the verge of another revolution in our understanding of the universe - perhaps even greater than the one that heralded the Atomic Age." Sir Arthur C Clarke

It's amazing to feel something for years and then find out that scientists are now full of explanations for it, and we are not marginals anymore. We are connected, "God" is everything, light is all we need, we are made of energy, life is fair...

  2. The vote should be clear for any person to understand
  3. The vote has received media attention
  4. The vote was passed or defeated by a very close margin
  5. Occasionally, if a specific bill is consistently inquired about on the Voter's Research Hotline, the vote will be added

My Easter Nails

Happy Thursday everyone!

I can't believe Easter is this Sunday.
It came SO quickly!

I'm heading home this weekend, so I'm really excited.
I decided to do my nails in an Easter theme as well. It was actually really simple to do.

 photo DSC01685_zps32bbaf11.jpg  photo DSC01682_zps65b8ec16.jpg

 I simply used a dotting tool and used it to create the bunny eyes and noses. And used a toothpick to create the bunny.

Real simple and easy to do, and gets a lot of attention. Haha.
Someone even asked if I had my nails done. :)

Anyway, not sure if I could post tomorrow, if I can't I'll post Saturday..

Have a great night everyone!

Little Itty Bitty Haul

Happpppppy Friday!

It's the weekend, finally

I made it through my first full week of work.
That's a good sign right?
I don't even think I made the CFO mad. Haha

Anyway, last weekend we went to the Philadelphia Premium Outlets to shop for some new "career" clothes.
Yes, I called them "career" clothes.
Hell, I even created a "Work/Office Outfits" board on my Pinterest!
That's right!

Everyone there dresses so professional I feel like my dressy clothes are their weekend attire. haha.
So I did some clothes shopping.
But besides clothes shopping I wanted to get some other things, like a lunch bag!
I've always used a Hello Kitty one from the $1 section at Target, but I feel like that would be frowned upon at my place of employment.
So I decided to go with a Vera Bradley.

 photo DSC01640_zpsa7df524d.jpg  photo DSC01641_zpse3b06456.jpg  photo DSC01642_zpscbb895a0.jpg

 It was originally $34.99, but they were having a sale, so I got it for $14.99!

 photo DSC01643_zpsdb80a90e.jpg

It's the perfect size for my sandwich and water!

 photo DSC01644_zps93bf48d8.jpg

I also went to Bath and Body. I know I feel like I live there.
But they have AMAZING coupons. Like for instance...

I got all this stuff for $16.95!

 photo DSC01645_zpsb24213b5.jpg

And can I say that the Strawberry hand and body cream smells exactly like strawberries. It's my favorite scent, anything with strawberries.

 photo DSC01646_zps1e92cc7e.jpg

How adorable is this hand soap? Looks like a little mason jar! $12.00

 photo DSC01647_zps83289d06.jpg

 And lastly this Sun Rasperry Tea for $7.99

  photo DSC01648_zpsc09916c6.jpg

I had a coupon for a free item with any $10 purchase. And since I bought the candle and the hand cream she gave me the most expensive thing for free! So I got $12 off!  That was real sweet of the kind girl and to top it off, I left with another coupon, damnit! haha.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend, I'm looking forward to this one because a friend is coming to visit! Yayyy!!!

Happy Friday!

Giveaway Winner & Ciate Cavier Replica

Wow, I can't believe I didn't blog Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! Ahh!

Let's just say I'm trying to get into the swing of things.
If you don't already know, I started a new job, a career job, so I've be overwhelmed with everything that comes with it. More on that another time.

I want to say HELLO to my new followers! :D
Thanks for stopping by my little blog.

I'm going to be announcing the winner of the DIY Anthropologie elastic headband giveaway.
On MONDAY, I'm going to be giving away something fantastic for my followers. I can't wait to announce it, I'm kind of overwhelmingly excited for it. And on Monday you'll see why. :)

Anyway, the winner is....

The winner is:
Please contact me! :)

Thanks SO much for everyone who entered! :D

So two weekends ago, yes that's right two, I did a little bit of shopping. I stopped at Claires and Bath and Body Works.

Claires has some awesome nail art things right now. I picked up two things. They were buy one get the 2nd half off.

 photo DSC01634_zpseb6d7ad9.jpg

I picked up these two items.
I really wanted Ciate's black cavier nail art. But couldn't bring myself to pay so much for it, plus shipping.
So you can imagine how excited I was when I found this, and it is only $8.50.

 photo DSC01635_zpsc6058484.jpg

I also came across this nail art set. Comes with more cavier beads, plus pearls, studs, and rhinestones. I think this will be fun to play around with! It was $5.50, but I got this one for half off. Not bad right?

   photo DSC01637_zps8bfe831f.jpg  photo DSC01638_zps56a2f97d.jpg I also went to Bath & Body Works because on Facebook they were giving away a bunch of the new Beautiful Day perfumes. So since we were already at the mall, I decided to pick up my freebie. I didn't think much of this at first, but when I smelt it, oh-my-gosh. It smells so fresh! I love it. It'll be something I use in the summerand keep it in my purse. :)  photo DSC01639_zpsbbc9a455.jpg

 Anyway, I need to do some cleaning. One of my best friends is coming down this weekend for a visit and I need to clean. :)

Have a great Thursday!

Happy Thursday!!!

I Got the Job!

Yesterday afternoon as I was doing the dishes I got a phone call from the place I interviewed at. They said that they would call by Monday so I thought since it was already Tuesday they picked someone else. I know when I interviewed they say they were interviewing 4 other candidates. So needless to say, when they didn't call Monday I thought I didn't get the position. Well yesterday, they called and offered me the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My first real job. My first career step. 2 months of looking for a job and I finally found one. I couldn't be happier with it. I start tomorrow, my first official working day. The salary is great, the hours are great, the work is exactly what I want to do! I'm so excited! :D
Today the fiance took me to dinner to celebrate, he is SO excited for me. Which makes me more excited. After we went for dinner, he said, yes he said we should go shopping for a professional outfit. I have work pants and skirts, but I wanted something more professional. I'll be working hand in hand with the CFO at the company I work for, so I should dress very professional, don't you think? :D
So we went to Kohls, again, to look for something.
 photo DSC01629_zps7c6b902a.jpg
I finally found the Essie nail strips that seem to be sold out everywhere. I was super excited when I found them. Aren't they adorable? I've never used any other nail strips besides Sally Hansen, so does anyone have reviews on them?

Excuse my crazy hair.
 photo IMG_2658_zpsc6ccdcd8.jpg
I also wanted to share a rare find on Monday when my fiance and I went to Ross..
I found Kitchen Aid mixing bowls that match my mixer perfectly..
 photo DSC01624_zpsaaa80ecc.jpg
 photo DSC01626_zpsa5a56e3c.jpg
And I got them for a steal, I just saw these at Kohls (but in black) for $32.99 and I got them for $11.99!
 photo DSC01627_zps90729d16.jpg
I was shocked, I already used them too! haha.
Anyway, I have a ton to do, so I will talk more tomorrow after work! Yes! Back to work! :D
Have a good night everyone, happy Wednesday!

Learn from Industry Leaders

Zero Waste Landfill Strategies

By: Steve Kooy, Sustainability ManagerHaworth

Four years ago, our U.S. factories were generating nearly 20 million pounds of landfill waste annually. That quantity dropped by half in 2007 and again in 2008. By the end of 2009, we achieved our goal of zero waste to landfill status for our global headquarters and manufacturing facilities in the United States. Our Shanghai, China and Pune, India facilities had already met the goal in 2008.

Haworth accomplished this “industry first” through hard work, strong support from leadership and getting everyone involved with the process. As a result, less than three percent of our waste materials are sent to a municipal waste-to-energy facility. Incinerating unused materials to generate steam or electricity is our most ex-pensive and least preferred method of waste management. We are now working toward the goal of zero waste to energy. In the spirit of continuous improvement we hope one day to reach a truly sustainable system where all wastes are used elsewhere without downcycling.

Artist's gift to Game Loft more than a change of scenery

By Tanya Mitchell | Jan 22, 2014
Photo by: Tanya Mitchell Game Loft regular Cameron Johnson, foreground, takes a closer look at the artwork of Eric Leppanen with his fellow gamers Morgan Suderley, Zepherin Leppanen and Skyler Bean Friday afternoon, Jan. 17.

Belfast — Belfast artist Eric Leppanen wanted to give back to the Game Loft, and with a lot of his own work to share, the answer came easily to him.

Leppanen's young son Zepherin is one of the many local youths who visit the Game Loft each week to play games and catch up with friends who have common interests.

One day, Leppanen said, he decided the walls at his son's favorite after-school hang-out place needed a splash of color. Being very pleased with the experience his son has had at the Game Loft, Leppanen decided to offer up some of his work, and to change out the art on display every few months to "keep it fresh."

Leppanen, who uses all recycled and re-purposed materials as his medium, said he felt it was a shame to keep storing some of his pieces at his home when they could be on display, perhaps inspiring others to create their own works.

"Anywhere I can show it, share it and spur creativity," said Leppanen, who was at the Game Loft Friday afternoon, Jan. 17, to officially kick off the display of two of his works.

One piece, situated near the entrance, covers much of the wall above the couch and consists of a series of old paint cans secured together in neat, consistent lines, cans that still carry remnants of the colors each held before the contents were used up.

The second piece, which is on display in the upper level gaming room, is one that Leppanen said began with an old sliding door that once held an old painting that Leppanen did a while back. Using a combination of spray foam and spray paints in colors like red, black and silver, the new work brings an element of color and texture to a wall that was once all brick.

Ariel Levangie, outreach coordinator for The Game Loft, said Leppanen's idea has been well received. The idea of displaying original art, she said, is very fitting in a place where youths play games that require skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving and of course, creativity.

"Our kids here are super creative, and a lot of them think outside of the box," Levangie said.

"It's a great thing to expose young people to original art," added Game Loft co-founder Pat Estabrook.

Another unique aspect of the art display is that unlike at a museum or an art gallery, Leppanen encourages all to not only view his work, but to reach out and touch it.

"I encourage people to go ahead and touch," he said. "I feel like it adds their energy to the piece."

Game Loft regular Cameron Johnson, along with fellow gamers Morgan Suderley, Skyler Bean and Zepherin Leppanen, took an up-close and personal look at the large work in the upper level game room, reaching out to touch the textures created by the foam and paint combination. One youth said he saw Spiderman in the image, while another clearly spotted a seahorse.

Johnson said he welcomed the addition of the art.

"It definitely adds some color to the place," he said. "It's going to add a lot of character to the loft."
