ONE COMMON PROBLEM shared by all the Driving Videos, Books And CD's out there IS they all focus on "how to be a safe driver" RATHER than what it actually takes to pass the driving test. Now of course it's important to be a Safe Driver... but what's even MORE IMPORTANT, is that
No huff. No puff. Grab it. Follow it. PASS your Driving Test.
From: Dan J
Dear Learner Driver,
RE: It's just ridiculous! There are far too many people in the UK who fail the driving test. Period.
Let's have a look at the facts:
Of that 1.3 million, only 39% of them passed!
That's an incredible 793,000 people who failed the driving test last year alone! And that my friend, is nothing other than insane. And it's getting worse.
And here's something else you may have noticed:
>>> How come some people seem to 'fly' through the driving test with ease, whilst others fail again and again? What makes this happen? Are some people just 'lucky'?
Or is there something else at play?
What on EARTH is going on!?
I'm here to tell you that NO, some people are NOT just 'lucky'. There may be a fortunate few who pass the test despite going up on the kerb a few times (!), but in general there is NOT an element of luck involved in passing!
And what does this mean for you? Well, it means that provided you're armed with the correct knowledge of how to pass, YOU can pass first time.
The bad news however, is that there's NOTHING out there to give you this knowledge!
Because all of those books/CDs/videos out there all share ONE COMMON PROBLEM, which is solely responsible for that shocking pass rate:
>>> They focus on how to be a safe driver, rather than what it actually takes to pass the practical driving test!
Have you ever realised this? Because if you haven't I suggest you read ANYTHING on the subject. And I guarantee you'll quickly realise that you're being educated on "How To Be A Safe Driver", rather than "What It Actually Takes and What Exactly to do to Pass The Practical Driving Test".
Now of course, it is important to be a safe driver. But we both know this isn't what you really want to know, you want to know HOW TO PASS YOUR DRIVING TEST! And there is a STARK difference between these two.
And exactly who am I?
My name is Dan J, and I have dedicated a lot of time and thought to this 'paradox'. Why isn't there any real driving test advice out there, that would actually help you in your quest for a pass?
Pardon me for saying this, but the fact is that all of the 'officials' are so stuck under the professional 'guise' of telling you to be a safe driver, that it actually holds them back from telling you what it takes to pass! And on top of that, they have ZERO experience of what it's like to take the modern day test.
And THAT is why the pass rate is so low!
So is there ANYTHING that can be done
about this shocking state of affairs?
Well my friend, this is where I come in. I passed the test first time with just two minors, and since then I set about changing things (Click here to see my practical driving test report). I'm not going to go the same way as the 'officials' and tell you that you need to be safe driver. I'm going to tell you explicitly how I did it, and exactly how you can too.
You're about to discover precisely what separated me from the 793,000 others, and get some specific, no holds barred driving test advice to passing the driving test.
I'm going to show you how to eliminate all of those "if's and but's" that seem to surround the driving test like a blanket around a baby.
I'm going to reveal exactly how YOU can be in the 43% that pass, rather than the 61% that fail!
Learn the tips, tricks and secrets that I personally used
to PASS at the FIRST attempt with just two minors!
I'm about to reveal:
NEVER BEFORE has any information so specific to passing your practical driving test ever been available. And never before has anyone given you the complete, no holds barred, nothing held back, comprehensive guide on exactly HOW TO PASS. Every trick, every secret that I personally used to achieve such a fantastic outcome, is about to be yours.
Put simply, I'm about to tell you under no uncertain terms...
How To Pass Your Driving Test at the
First Attempt...With Just Two Minors!
Yes, you really did read that correctly. If you follow this advice, then you can expect to achieve a similar outcome. This is not just another driving 'manual', rather a sure-fire 'blueprint' for driving test success.
Whether you've just started learning to drive, or whether you've got a bit of experience, you will MASSIVELY benefit from this insider information. Maybe your test is next week? Fantastic! Get ready for an explosion of information guaranteed to increase your chances of passing the dreaded practical driving test!
Have you ever asked yourself any of the following questions:
How can I be certain that I'll pass the test?
What if I get a 'dodgy' examiner?
What are majors and minors, and exactly what will cause me to fail my test?
What if I fail, and everyone else I know passes (or has already passed)!
What will really happen on the day of my test?
Don't answer that for me. Because I know you have.
And these are just a few of the questions I'm about to answer...
Every driving situation you could possibly encounter,
and exactly what to do to please the examiner!
Who hasn't heard countless driving test 'horror stories'? Are you going to become the next horror story? Or will you take the time to learn exactly what it takes, and pass in the quickest time possible?
Your chances of passing first time will soar sky high once you know:
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's so much more information that I couldn't possibly mention it all here: you'll simply be blown away!
Exactly why so many people fail, and
exactly how YOU can AVOID being one of them!
As a learner driver, your main priorities are to pass first time and in the quickest time possible right?
You don't want to be messing around failing your test, paying for unnecessary driving lessons, and taking months (even years!) longer than you should have done do you?
Of course not! And to avoid this happening, do not book your test until you know:
What to do in any given situation.
What will cause you to fail instantly.
How many times you can afford to make a particular error before it's all over.
The absolute, never to be broken, number one rule when it comes to taking your practical driving test. (If you break this rule, you might as well be wearing a large flashing sign on your head saying "PLEASE FAIL ME!").
Follow this valuable advice, and you'll be out on the roads before you know it. Because if every learner driver knew what you're about to know, I guarantee that the national pass rate would be at LEAST twice as high.
Why you WON'T hear this information anywhere else
WHEN was the last time you saw anyone who passed the test first time with just two minors going down and dirty, revealing EVERY trick and secret that they used to do it? Tricks and secrets that YOU can use to achieve a similar (or better!) outcome? Tricks and secrets that no 'official' would dare tell you?
If I was a betting man (which I'm not, by the way), I would put a lot of money on you never having read anything like this before.
Because there's simply nothing else out there to tell you this stuff!
Why you need this information as soon as possible?
Although "How To Pass Your Driving Test at the First Attempt...With Just Two Minors!" is by far the most useful resource for learner drivers out there, there is still one critical element that I'm worried about. And that is, the time at which you claim your copy. Because the further from your driving test you are when you read this, the better your chance of passing is.
If your test is coming up, or worse - if you've already got it booked, then you really can't afford to spend any longer without knowing this information.
If you want to be as certain as you ever will be about passing first time, then the sooner you know this the better. Because every time you go out driving from now until your test, you're literally missing out on putting this valuable information into practice!
Ok, let's wrap this up...
"How To Pass Your Driving Test at the First Attempt...With Just Two Minors!" will guide you through...
But get ready for the best news of all. You've arrived just in time to take advantage of an unprecedented offer that may or may not continue, and could finish any time soon.
As the internet has reduced many of our costs, for a limited time only we are able to offer "How To Pass Your Driving Test at the First Attempt...With Just Two Minors!" at a stupidly low £10.99 (20.00 USD). This is over 45% off the usual price of £19.99, and less than a single driving lesson.
My accountant isn't too happy about this offer. She thinks even the usual price is too low, and that the 45% discount is just ridiculous! For this reason, the price is likely to go back up any time soon, so you should be counting yourself lucky that you made it here in time!
(By the way, if you're not from the UK, then please stop reading right now. Because this is for the UK practical driving test ONLY!)
So, let me ask you one simple question...
Do you think it's possible to read this and not walk away with at least one driving test tip that could well save you come the day of your test? Surely it would be worth it just for this one lousy piece of advice that would prevent you from failing. But in fact, you're likely to discover a whole bunch of potential problems on your driving test that you never even imagined! How much would that be worth to you?
At the risk of sounding insulting, it's utterly impossible not to get your money's worth, especially when I'm currently only charging less than a single driving lesson.
And you can even have your money back if you're not entirely satisfied. (However unlikely that may be - more on my guarantee in a moment.)

P.S. At this point after reading a typical offer, you probably think to yourself "Do I really want to gamble £19.99? (UPDATE - JUST £10.99! - less than a single driving lesson!) Friend, that's exactly why I've offered my 'Nothing To Lose' Guarantee for years. If my course doesn't deliver, I'm the one who has to suffer - NOT YOU.

P.P.S. Still not convinced that you need this 'passport to driving test success' guide? Let me give you one more reason why this is absolutely essential for anyone serious about passing first time.
>>> If you go into your driving test without being armed with this knowledge, then put simply you have a 61% chance of failing.

Frequently Asked Questions | Comments and Testimonials
Still Not Convinced yet?
Hear what I have to say... one last time:
>>> in 2014, it costs £62 for the driving test practical exam. (Note: Weekday evening and weekend price is £75. Also note that Another further price increase is due in the next month.)
Think about the time wasted if you fail on average......say, 3 times. Think about the money wasted if you failed 3 times.
>>> £62 + £62 + £62 equals £186 .........DOWN the drain!........ so fast!
As if you haven't spent enough money on lessons already. FACT - Some people take over 100 lessons before they pass their driving exam. We haven't even considered the costs that we need to cover After the exam as well, which includes, the car, road tax, insurance, petrol and maintenance, MOT's. The amounts that are wasted is completely ridiculous.
Why not secure your pass "First time with just Two Minors" with only a fraction of the price? After all, £10.99 spent sounds better than £186 wasted doesn't it?
Why not secure your pass "First time with just Two Minors"... WHEN YOU CAN?
Why put pressure on yourself? Each time u fail, you will have even more stress and anxiety on the next test, less confidence, which can affect you and cause you to fail time and time again.
Why WASTE time? (when you don't have to!)
Number of times failed
Total Costs
Fail once
£62 to £75
Fail twice
£124 to £150
Fail three times
£186 to £225
Fail four times
£248 to £300
Fail five times
£310 to £375
See a pattern developing here?
I personally even know some friends who have failed more than 5 times and this is not uncommon at all.
With some places in England having an average waiting time of 12 weeks, you'd have to be pulling your hair off unless you're a very patient person.
Do you really want to book the test time after time again, and wait 3 months until you can re-sit your test again?
Most people would most likely lose their touch after waiting 3 months...prompting them to take extra lessons to refresh their memory, before they retake their test again... This contributes to your expenditure. Further, not just wasting Time, but also unnecessarily wasting valuable Money.
Have you ever wondered to yourself.... Why not Pass first time ........ WHEN YOU CAN?
Sounds simple doesn't it? It is.
Enable Yourself to do so...... with "How to Pass Your Driving Test First Attempt with only Two Minors!"
Why not Pass first time, ........ WHEN YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO?

Wouldn't you be more confident, more comfortable knowing this knowledge at that very moment, rather than regretting?

Cars and Coffee Irvine Details:
- Held at Mazda Headquarters in Irvine, CA.
- Wide Variety of automotive styles and manufacturers represented
- Free Event held weekly on Saturday Mornings
- One-of-a-kind builds and historic autmotobiles
There are very few car meets in the world that can truly capture what it's like to be a true car fan. Most of the time, when you hear the phrase "Car Meet" you think of a bunch of high school kids hanging out in the parking lot of the local donut shop or something along those lines. 9 times out of 10 those meets get shut down by local authorities, for a number of reasons. Luckily for us, one of the best true car enthusiasts meets happens to be within a stone's throw from our Southern California office.
The Cars and Coffee meet in Irvine, CA is one of those events that is a guaranteed good time every Saturday. While there's never knowing for sure exactly who or what will show up, one this that is for sure is that you will see some cars you will probably never see anywhere else in the world. On top of that, this is one of those rare events where diversity in the automotive culture is actually encouraged. You might find yourself walking down a row of cars that has everything from Hot Rods to British Roadsters to Japanese super cars.
With that being said, we decided this would be a perfect time to showcase one of our most head turning builds we finished up for SEMA last year. The Modified Magazine #SonicPowered Chevy Sonic is most definitely one of those cars that combines the best of the tuning world with an emerging American sub-compact market. Since Cars and Coffee is all about combining the worlds of all different car cultures, we knew the Modified magazine Sonic would be the perfect car for this show.
We arrived at the show just before dawn to ensure we would get a good spot and we were met with some apprehension from the event organizers. When we arrived at the gate the organizers explained that they prefer to keep the meet limited to a select group of cars with the emphasis on pre 2000 coupes. Sedans made after 2000 are suggested to park outside the meet in the Taco Bell over flow lot. After a quick discussion with the organizers they finally let us take the car in. Within 15 minutes of parking the in a prime spot next to a Porsche GT3RS and a hot rod, we developed a small crowd around the Sonic. After chatting with some of people that gathered around the car, we decided to walk the show for ourselves and see what it had to offer.
As you can see there is so much automotive awesomeness from Cars and Coffee Irvine that it's almost impossible to cover it all. We could do a feature on each one of these cars by themselves. However, one of our favorite moments from the meet has to be this.
It looks like there really is a perfect car for everyone. In case you haven't had a chance to make it out, and you happen to be in the Southern California area, make sure you stop by Cars and Coffee in Irvine. You are sure to find something there that you will immediately fall in love with. Who knows, you might even see us there snapping pictures right next to you.

If you use the Evaporust on galvanized......after the Evaporust had done its job......what is left on the surface where the rust was? Galvanizing or bare metal? Either way, if you just spray it with Boeshield afterwards, just doing that will protect it for years to come?Thank.................Dave

I think this book is funny. I liked the monsters when they put on lipstick. I liked the monsters because they made we think about numbers. I liked the pictures because they were silly and not scary.
I would recommend this book to people that like to count.

FULTON, Mo. - The MLC football team struggled in all phases in a 54-0 loss at Westminster Saturday.
MLC was outgained 472-172 in the game, and also turned the ball over seven times (five fumbles, two interceptions).
Westminster did most of its damage through the air, as quarterback Scott Rodgers completed 13 of 19 pass attempts for 221 yards and four touchdowns. Carl Givens led Westminster with six receptions for 81 yards and two scores.
The Knights also allowed 244 yards on the ground, and were held to 67 yards on the ground offensively.
Westminster jumped out to a 20-0 lead in the first half, and then really got things going in the second half, scoring on five of their last six drives as the MLC defense wore down.
Joe Lindloff struggled at quarterback for the Knights, going 7-15 passing for 105 yards, and was intercepted twice. Nicholas Kressin had a team-high 52 yards receiving and 38 yards rushing.
On defense, Ben Hansen had a team high 11 tackles.
The Knights fell to 0-3 on the season and 0-2 in the UMAC with the loss, while Westminster improved to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in league play with the win.
MLC will return to action next Saturday, September 24, when it travels to Crown for a 1 p.m. game.

Yes, teams flew from the Lake Hood airport to Trapper Creek with Rusts Flying Service. The Rust family owns several businesses up there, and the K2 seen in the cap is one of them. I've been trying to find the runway in the cap, but no luck so far; it doesn't seem to match Talkeetna or Trapper Creek. If anybody wants to help out, the more the merrier; grab a spot and dig in.

BioWare dev warns against economically unviable next-gen
The industry should be wary not to back itself into a corner and make game development economically unviable on next generation consoles, BioWare's director of art and animation has warned.
Speaking to OXM, Neil Thompson said that the last generation of hardware caught many developers off guard with the required skillsets to make games.
He stated that the industry cannot afford another ten-fold team increase in development costs and team sizes, as studios would likely have to sell 20-to-30 million copies of a triple-A title just to break even.
Thompson added however that although next generation consoles would be a big leap from the current hardware, it wouldn't be as obvious graphically.
"I think the main thing is that the industry doesn't get itself into a corner where it becomes economically unviable to make a game," said Thompsom.
"The last technology iteration caught folks by surprise - especially the number of people you needed and the skillset jump that was required to do the work that people expected. In the last generation the perception was that it was going to be a ten times improvement over the previous generation.
"For the next generation there will be a big leap, but it won't be as obvious. People will do things in a cleverer fashion - and I have to be careful here as there are non-disclosure agreements involved! I think they'll be better prepared, shall we say - but we can't see a ten-fold team increase again as the budgets would just be ridiculous. You'd have to sell 20-to-30 million copies before you broke even."
The issue of development costs for next-gen consoles has been hotly debated over the last year, with Activision CEO Bobby Kotick stating earlier this month that every console transition had seen an increase in costs, and the PS4 and next Xbox would be no different.
"This is my 22nd year doing this, and every single console transition we've seen an increase in development costs," said Kotick.
"Over long periods of time it gets smoothed out, but I would say this is not a transition where that's going to be an exception.
"We're going to have to figure out how to take advantage of the unique abilities of new hardware and that requires new skills and investment in tools and technology and engines and so yes, that's likely."
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick however has previously stated that development costs would likely remain unchanged on new hardware, and claimed that the Grand Theft Auto publisher had in fact managed to tighten its expenditure.
"We don't have any reason to believe our development budgets will change significantly," said Zelnick.
"If anything we have become – group-wide – much tighter in terms of how we spend our money. We can't say specifically, but no we don't expect to see a meaningful change in what it costs us to release these top quality products."

Dianne Feinstein Accidentally Confirms That NSA Tapped The Internet Backbone
from the but-of-course dept
However, as Kevin Bankston notes, during Thursday's Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Dianne Feinstein more or less admitted that they get emails via "upstream" collection methods. As you can see in the following clip, Feinstein interrupts a discussion to read a prepared "rebuttal" to a point being made, and in doing so clearly says that the NSA can get emails via upstream collections:
Upstream collection... occurs when NSA obtains internet communications, such as e-mails, from certain US companies that operate the Internet background, i.e., the companies that own and operate the domestic telecommunications lines over which internet traffic flows.She clearly means "backbone" rather than "background." She's discussing this in an attempt to defend the NSA's "accidental" collection of information it shouldn't have had. But that point is not that important. Instead, the important point is that she's now admitted what most people suspected, but which the administration has totally avoided admitting for many, many years since the revelations made by Mark Klein.
So, despite years of trying to deny that the NSA can collect email and other communications directly from the backbone (rather than from the internet companies themselves), Feinstein appears to have finally let the cat out of the bag, perhaps without realizing it.

Long list of priorities for President Trump and Congress in 2018
There are frigid temperatures outside, but inside the walls of the U.S. Capitol, the heat is on, with an ambitious legislative agenda in the House and Senate.
The first order of business will be to pass a spending bill by Jan. 19 to prevent a government shutdown after the issue was delayed in 2017 to much criticism.
"No family would budget this way. No business would budget this way and the federal government should not budget this way," said Rep. Derek Kilmer, R-Wash.
President Donald Trump has been riding a wave of momentum after signing the new tax bill into law.
"We're going to have a great year. It's going to be a fantastic 2018," the president said on New Year's Eve.
The White House is planning to tackle some major issues, like this country's aging infrastructure problems -- legislation which may get bipartisan support.
"Yes I'll work with him on infrastructure if he'll work with us," said Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., in an interview on CNN.
Other priorities for Congress include action on the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), more emergency relief for regions impacted by natural disasters and a March 5 deadline to fix DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
"You have a million kids that have only know the United States of America. This should be a simple solution and something we are going to have to take care of," said Rep. Will Hurd, R-Tx.
And many are still wondering what's next when it comes to the future of healthcare in this country. Some are pushing to have the insurance markets stabilized, now that the Individual Mandate has been taken eliminated with the passage of the new tax bill. Others want Obamacare gone for good.
And that new tax law?
Many Democrats are now warning that its huge price tag means more cuts are coming.
"It's going to make deep cuts in the things that matter to working families - higher education job training, Medicare social security," said Rep. David Cicciline, D-R.I., in a Dec. 20 interview.
As far as taking action on these priorities, leaders from both parties are scheduled to sit down with White House chief of staff John Kelly on Wednesday. President Trump is also planning to meet with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell), and House Speaker Paul Ryan at Camp David next weekend.

Ahhh... I don't even know where to begin Well, for starters, by & large I am a nice person. But when I'm not... Sometimes I like to say weird and awkward things that make people feel uncomfortable just to see their reactions. I have no idea why, but when that impulse comes I just can't control it. I am competitive, which is a really bad trait.
Someone here said that they blame everything on themselves, for me it's the other way around. I blame everything on others. Well, not verbally, mentally. I rarely think that it's my fault and then I end up hating myself for that later. I worry and think too much, and I voice my thoughts and worries and fears which I imagine annoys people a lot.
When I try to make people feel better, I sometimes accidentally make them feel worse Sometimes I don't think when I speak and I'm not very perceptive. I have a hard time admitting that I'm wrong. And I'm too stubborn.
I don't have an opinion. When given 2 choices I just can't choose, because *gasp* I think too much. Decisive people, you rock And when I am angry I direct my anger to the people I love most my family and friends, and they don't deserve that. I also go to 2 different extremes I'm both too cynical and too naive for my own good.
Hmmm... That's probably not even all of it. Sometimes, I'm not a very great person, am I ...

Oh dear, this topic .. um. Putting myself under the microscope.. I have a pretty high tolerance threshold for certain things, but admittedly there are certain triggers that'll set me off. Full-blown anger is rare, but I can often get irritated easily and tend to be a tad .. impatient..
But at my absolute worse, I am either:
1) A cruel and spite filled person that has been quoted once exclaiming: "What? Are you an idiot? Are you a f*cking useless waste of space? Are you needlessly consuming oxygen that would be best served nourishing others?"
2) Someone coldly unsympathetic and rational to the point where I would trod roughshod over any and everyone's feelings, sensitivities and weaknesses without batting an eye.
#2 more often than #1 though .. I'm usually pleasant enough though I think..

I am downright caustic at my worst.
Ie, I become a total bitch and say everything that's on my mind about that person or thing that made me angry, I get angry and upset, but I say every word with a smile on my face, but laced with bite. And the smile is what really makes it--it's more of a sarcastic, crazy sort of grin.

People say I'm sarcastic 95% of the time and I don't even know it myself to be honest.
Some people say they love that about me, some say they don't. I'd say it's me at my worst because like I mentioned before I don't even know when I'm being sarcastic.
I'm also constantly changing my stance and opinions on things, people say I do that too, but I don't notice I do it myself. I might need to see someone, think I've got multiple personality disorder.

I've always considered this to be one of the most interesting threads on AnimeSuki, so time for it to rise from the ashes once again.
Spoiler for A few things about me:
I'm sure there's more that I could say, but I don't want to make the post too long, and I'd rather limit the list of flaws to things that come across as interesting or sympathetic or whatever, things that are basically 'good flaws' or 'acceptable flaws.' I'd kind of be shooting myself in the foot if I posted traits that made people think "Wow, you're a piece of shit."
But yeah, this is an interesting thread, so hopefully a few more posters will chime in this time around.

I'm like some other posters here.
- When i hate someone for something they've done, and I want justice, the situation (I) usually blows up in one event. Like a big argument, verbal lashing, to the point my throat is sore.
- I ruminate, which is unproductive. If I express rumination most people will try to avoid it as no one likes to hear complaints. If they do 'approve' of my complaints, we're both ruminating. It sucks the life out of everyone.
- When I get irritated and can't stand it, there's no way i'd want to give to someone or tolerate a person unless they are calm and understanding. How often are people calm and understanding when they're also obsessed with being heard? So I demand someone to be understanding and yet they are also demanding that from me. An irritating scenario.
- When i want someone to pitch in, like clean the bathroom, or just to clean after themselves, I typically make demands or give orders, such as, "clean after yourself." or worse it's a complaint, accusation, and demand "why do i always clean after you? do your dishes!" Most people get defensive, find excuses, and do not hear me out. It quickly turns into an argument, or rather, it was already a fight in the first place.
So to sum, at worst i have issues coping with anger and then asserting boundaries to solve what is irritating me.

^Similar to poster above.
I get angry a lot, have trouble backing off from an argument. Can't stand admitting defeat. I am pretty vengeful, and sometimes hold grudges, probably because I'm oversensitive.
I tend to make judgments about people a lot, some of which turn out totally wrong.
I'm also lazy and like to make excuses for myself.

A Pocono Summit man allegedly stabbed his brother in a vehicle Sunday at the Mount Pocono Plaza.
The Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department said the stabbing occurred around 1:30 p.m. While they were en route to the fight, police were advised that one of the people left the scene in a vehicle heading toward Pocono Summit. The other man went into the store, police were told.
Upon arrival, police said they were unable to find either man. After running the vehicle registration on the license plate, police were able to contact the victim.
The victim, who was not named, told police that he and his brother were fighting in the car and his brother, Salvatore Farace, 45, pulled out a knife and stabbed him. Police said they did see a puncture wound on the victim's right side.
Farace was seen walking out of a store in the plaza, and police placed him under arrest. He was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment, police said. Farace was taken to the Monroe County Correctional Facility where he was to be arraigned.

Angelina Jolie: Zaatari Refugee Camp Visit
Angelina Jolie holds hands with a little girl during a visit to the Zaatari refugee camp on Thursday (December 6) in Mafraw, Jordan.
This is the 37-year-old actress' second trip to the region in three months to meet with the civilians that are being targeted.
"What I saw last night is a dramatic example of the plight of hundreds of thousands of Syrians who have been uprooted by the fighting and are in a desperate search for safety," Angelina said to the UNHCR. "Civilians inside the country are being targeted. Many of those trying to flee are exposed to extreme danger right up to the border itself. I appeal to all sides in the conflict to do all they can to ensure the safe passage of these innocent civilians."

MEQUON, Wis. - Bethel kicked its game into high gear in their second matchup of the season today. The Royals breezed past the hosting Falcons of Concordia Wisconsin by a score of 48-0. Like so many times before, the Royals looked to their running game to score six of their seven touchdowns. The defense was incredible holding the Falcons to zero points, forcing seven punts and two turnovers in the victory.
The Royals scored early and often thanks to running back Jessie Phenow (So., Richfield, Minn.). He opened the scoring with an 8-yard scamper, and then got the call again on a fourth-and-one on the Falcons 15-yard line. He raced towards the right side and flew into the end zone, giving the Royals a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.
Quarterback and reigning MIAC Offensive Player of the Week Josh Aakre (Sr., Dawson, Minn.) set up the third touchdown of the game with a 17-yard pass to receiver Jay Hilbrands (So., Clara City, Minn.). Aakre rushed the ball into the end zone from two yards out two plays later to give the Royals a 21-0 lead heading into halftime.
Early in the third quarter, Phenow added to his impressive rushing totals with a third touchdown. With the ball at the 12-yard line, Phenow busted through a few would-be tacklers and found the end zone to extend the Royals lead to 28-0. Phenow would finish the game with 59 yards on seven carries and three touchdowns.
The defense came up big in the third quarter as well. Arguably the most exciting play of the game came in the third quarter when inside linebacker Seth Mathis (So., Anoka, Minn.) caused the first turnover of the season for the Royals defense. Mathis rumbled 71 yards with the ball all the way down to the Falcons 20-yard line. The Royals came back onto the field and converted the turnover into points as running back Brandon Marquardt (Fr., Champlin, Minn.) powered his way in for the score from three yards out. With the extra point the Royals were up 35-0.
After five consecutive rushing touchdowns, the Royals turned to the air for one last score in the third quarter. Aakre found Hilbrands in the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown strike despite having a defender draped all over him. Hilbrands came down with the ball even with the defense getting flagged for a pass interference penalty. After declining the penalty, the Royals went up 41-0. Aakre was effective both running and passing today. He completed 9 of 13 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. He added another score and 38 yards rushing as well.
In the fourth quarter the Royals rested most of their starters on both sides of the ball. Kelson Carr (Sr., North Bend, Wash.) scored the last touchdown of the day for the Royals from two yards out with just under 10 minutes remaining. Carr ended up with 44 yards on six carries.The Royals defense would not budge as they held the Falcons scoreless as the game ended.
The Royals ground game combined for 289 yards and six touchdowns. Marquardt led all rushers with 91 yards, and also added a touchdown. Hilbrands was the Royals leading receiver, finishing with four catches, 60 yards, and a touchdown.
On the defensive side of the ball the Royals only gave up 130 yards to the Falcons. Inside linebacker Billy Morgan (Sr., Rosemount, Minn.), finished with four solo tackles, eight tackle assists, including a tackle for loss. Outside linebacker Brett Skoog (Jr., Long Lake, Minn.) led the Royals with 1.5 tackles for loss and recorded a sack for a loss of 8 yards. In addition to his huge interception Seth Mathis had 3 solo tackles and a forced fumble.
After dominating non conference opponents by a combined score of 103-3 the Royals will open up conference play next week. Bethel will host the Carlton Knights at Royal Stadium.

My daughter says I have a problem. It's true. Every tube of lipstick and bottle of nail polish I own is red! Taylor says, "Seriously Mom, why do you even bother buying new lipstick? All you ever get is some shade of red." She is right.
My daughter says I have a problem. It's true. Every tube of lipstick and bottle of nail polish I own is red! Taylor says, "Seriously Mom, why do you even bother buying new lipstick? All you ever get is some shade of red." She is right.
I wasn't allowed to wear make-up until I was a sophomore in high school. Even then my mother carefully monitored anything and everything I wore in attire and make-up. At first, I was allowed only to use pressed powder and lip gloss. My parents were very big on "natural beauty."
My first tube of lipstick as a sophomore was Cover Girl's "Snowflake Pink." By the time I was a junior I could wear some make-up to school, but typically not a full face, due to my mother's standards. I also was not allowed to dye my hair, EVER. Then, as time will have it, I grew up and discovered the power of red.
When I was 19, I dyed my hair blonde as a way to please my boyfriend. He loved it and I hated it. It felt like I was wearing someone else. Even worse, the blonde looked great with frosty pink lipstick (enter "Snowflake Pink"), something I equally abhorred. One day by accident, I was dying my hair back to its natural auburn state and something happened. I left the color on a little too long and it turned out a glorious red! Wow! Did I ever like this, it wasn't just a reddish-brown; it was a full blown Rita Hayworth red. I fell in love!
I was on a mission to improve my make-up to match my hair color. I tried a new lipstick back then by Revlon called "Cherries in the Snow." It was a bit too burgundy, but I was on to something. Until I found the perfect lipstick, I just stuck to painting my nails and toes red. My boyfriend said that my toes looked like little "Red Hots" the candy, so this just added fuel to my fire. There was something about the red that just lifted my spirits and put a little pep in my step. It was fun, spunky, and glamorous. How could one small bottle have such an impact?
For years I was a Mary Kay consultant. I was in my element surrounded by beautiful pink tubes of "Classic Red" lipstick. I tried other colors too, but I always came back to my first love. My current favorite is Maybelline's Color Stay lipstick in "Reliable Raspberry." It stays on all day and never smears.
Now that I am an adult, I have quit experimenting with my hair color. It has been every length, every shade, and possibly every style. I still color it to keep it shiny. I have taken to using Henna. Henna is an all-natural dye made from crushed plants. It is specifically for redheads and offers no chance of damaging the hair. While I have tried to branch out from my obsession, I am smitten by red. I have lipstick and nail polish in red-red, true red, burgundy red, cherry red, brown red, and pink red and orange-red (hence my daughter's remark). I can't help it! A lady I once worked with said, "Well, you will never see me in high heels or red lipstick." Given the looks of her, I have no doubt that this will remain true. Red is not for everybody, but it is for me.
Last summer I was at the beach. I had on a bikini, hat, sunglasses, and no make-up. A friend of mine messaged me later and asked me if I was at the beach that day. To which I replied "Yes." He said, "I thought that was you, but didn't recognize you without your red lipstick." Point proven.

The Hornets stung the Pointers twice last year, including a 21-17 CIF victory that ended the Pointers' season.
And, if that wasn't enough motivation, the Pointers entered the match with the Hornets winless after two season-opening losses.
This time, the Pointers (1-2) sent the Hornets (0-3) flying back to the Hive after a convincing 38-15 win at Bennie Edens Field.
"We've just been getting better each week," said Pointer head coach Mike Hastings. "That first week (against Olympian), we made a lot of mistakes. Then I thought we took a big step forward last week at Ramona. Then today, we just put it all together."
So feisty were the Dogs they built a 17-0 first-half lead before the Hornets scored with 19 seconds remaining for a 17-7 margin at the break.
A.J. Smith scored from 6 yards out in the first quarter, while Jason Shoemaker nailed a 37-yard field goal and Drew Rutledge leaped high in the end zone to haul in a six-yard pass on fourth down from quarterback Gavin Grady.
The second half again belonged to the Pointers, marked by a quickly controlled third-period altercation.
Tight end Jake Wambaugh hauled in a Grady pass at the Lincoln 10-yard line and appeared headed for a score when he was hit and stripped of the ball. A scuffle for the loose pigskin escalated briefly as Pointer coaches ran onto the field, ordering their players to the sideline.
Game officials ejected a Lincoln player for his role in the skirmish and another later for a violent hit on a Pointer punter.
On the next play, Lincoln's Jaechon Murphy broke into the Point Loma secondary and outraced defenders for a 95-yard touchdown that left the score at 24-15.
If the Hornets were to be revived by the situation, that was quickly an-swered on the kickoff as Jalen Griffin took the ball at his own 15 and ran down the right sideline for an 85-yard score of his own, putting the Pointers up 31-15 with 1:38 left in the third quarter.
Other second-half scores were provided by Romeo Epperley on a nine-yard run and Smith on a 57-yard jaunt that provided the final margin.
On the afternoon, the Pointers rushed for 329 yards. Smith had 176 of those on 21 carries. Epperley had 53 yards, Griffin totaled 44 and Jacob Ehm added 43.
Defensively, the Dogs pressured Lincoln quarterbacks throughout the game. Linemen Wambaugh, Jake Virissimo, Cole Kidd and others held the Hornets to under 200 yards of total offense, including the 95-yard score.
"I couldn't be happier for these kids," Hastings said. "They've been working really hard to get to this point. Offensively, we made some great drives, and the defense came out and gave a great effort."
The Pointers travel to Morse High on Friday, Sept. 20 for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff on the Tigers' field. Also 1-2, the Tigers won their first game last week with a 22-13 nod over University City.
Last year, the Pointers defeated the Tigers 38-6 at home.
• Pointer players, with their first victory, earned their familiar "Angry Dog" logo stickers and their first "win" sticker for their helmets, which have been blank to date.
• The Pointers' Oct. 11 away league game against Kearny has been moved to Madison High at 6:30 p.m. Kearny has no stadium lights.
• The Pointer junior varsity (2-1) defeated Lincoln 9-0 and the freshman team (2-1) shut out St. Augustine 26-0. The Saints replaced Lincoln, which, like several Pointer opponents, is unable to field a freshman squad.
• Starting varsity Pointer quarterback Quinn Bohannon did not play (ankle injury), while top running back Dirk Lacy has yet to make his 2013 season debut from a slow-healing injury.
The Hornets only list 29 players on their varsity, and with a half-dozen injured and not in uniform, were already short-handed.

I'm Back. . .
I want to Thank each and every one of you who has taken the time over the past two weeks to call or write to be supportive during this very difficult time. It's been a rough few weeks and I feel that I need to explain a bit more clearly so that you all understand what exactly happened. I was notified by a friend that she had received an email from a concerned customer who had seen photos of my daughter, along with many other innocent children on a popular website that were mixed with . . . "Well, let's just say . . . not so innocent photos of children." Please note, that I am being VERY PC when I say that!!! When I went to this website to see for myself I was horrified to say the least. Indeed, there were photos of Abby mixed with disgusting images that are now forever etched in my mind. I immediately contacted this website and received NO help whatsoever. From there I took matters into my own hands and contacted authorities who I knew would be very interested and they were! I spent the next several hours on the phone with federal agents who were trying to get as much information as possible to apprehend the demented person who was doing this and remove those images from the web. Meanwhile, I paced the floors and tried to remain calm because I didn't want to alarm my children that something was terribly wrong. Of course, they saw right through me, but never discovered the truth. Within about 10 hours the photos were removed and I started to breathe again. However, then the real adrenaline kicked in and "Mama Bear" came out in full force and I was determined to do what ever it took to keep Abby safe and take her out of the spotlight. As you know, I closed down my blog to the public and then spent hours on my website making changes. For a brief moment I even considered closing down Olabelhe all together. Thankfully I regained sanity for a moment and decided against that but I did decide to keep my blog closed until now while I worked through all of this. As you know, I considered the password option but after more thought I knew that wouldn't work either. Yes, I know many of you from your lovely emails, and photos you've shared, but certainly not all of you who come to visit. Then I put myself in your shoes and thought about what you might be thinking and I thought about how I might feel if I was suddenly shut out of one of my favorite blogs. Like you, I have my favorites that I visit on a regular basis and I love reading about the author's life and family. To read about what they are doing and what projects they have been working on. I've shared in others excitement in everything from new babies and successful adoptions to terrible sadness when they experience a tragic loss and everything in between. It's actually very odd when you think about it, but you truly become invested in complete strangers lives and you think of them not as strangers but rather as friends that you just haven't met yet. Then I knew that I had to reopen my blog. Please understand that my intentions were not to shut out my readers, but rather to keep out the creepy pigs who like looking at pretty little girls.
Thankfully, time does help. Along with talking with friends and family to work through this roller-coaster of emotions has proved to be very beneficial. I know that this was an isolated incident and that 99.9% of everyone who comes to visit has innocent intentions but as with all things it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch. It's been quite an experience and I've learned a lot about on-line predators and other things I never thought I would ever have to think about but now I am much wiser and I am taking steps to become even more safety conscience. In the end no real harm was done except to my sanity and I am reminded of how much I love my children. I know you can all relate to some time in your lives when someone did or said something against your child and you loose all sense in a split second. This incredible love for these miracles that enter our lives is like no other and I think only a mother can understand that.
So onward and upward. My blog is back and my head and heart or well on their way back to their usual happy place. Now to just get through the holidays and then back to sewing! I have lots of ideas for Spring and I can't wait to get started. Thank you all again for all your kindness, understanding and friendship.

Dayumm, that is just insane. I totally understand why you would panic! Please don't feel that yo have to keep the blog open to everyone tho; many of us are total strangers to you and your family. Personally, I'd miss your blog but I'd much rather be excluded as an unfamiliar person to you than to have open access to the blog at the risk of your family's safety.
Those of us who surf in so we can see the beautiful dresses can do so in your pattern section. If you want to go 'mama bear' and keep the blog area private, we'll understand!

Oh my goodness, how horrifying that must have been!
I am so glad to see you back... perhaps you can find a way to make your photos private, or watermark them in such a way they cannot be stolen for such nefarious purposes again!
Whatever you do, definitely do what is best for your family!

Dawn I am so glad you reopened your blog. I don't comment but I have purchased from you and I began following you from your days on Sewing Mamas. It is horrible to think your pictures were stolen like that. I have a blog too and have never worried about posting my kids faces and pictures on there but from your experience I see how easily it can go wrong. I will be watching to see what you do for security -I want to keep my kids safe too.

That is so scary. I post pix of my girls on my blog to help organize my memories of things I've made and to remember the fun we have had. Thanks for your openness. I am going to be more careful and need to go in and remove their names from my postings. I try not to put our location but need to check that too. I saw something on a tv show about google visual search but have never tried it to see if there are photos that have been copied elsewhere. Will research that, too. So sorry that this happened. I love your daughter's photos.

Totally understand how psyched you would have been. But it is a very creepy world out there and plenty of creeps around, so you have to be very careful.
I have never commented but I follow your blog because the clothes are so good and the sewing is phenomenal.
Do you think it would be good to show only the clothes in some manner?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Nov. 22, 2011
BOSTON, Mass. – With four different players finishing in double-figures, which included a game-high 24 points from Adam Fahey, the Falcons of Fitchburg State University (4-0) rallied in the second half to defeat men's basketball (0-2) by the final score of 87-81 Tuesday evening in the Clark Athletic Center.
Fahey's night was the results of 9-of-17 shooting from the floor, which included three clutch 3-pointers in the second half, and a perfect 3-for-3 showing at the line. Zach Valliere was also big from the floor and on the glass with his double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds. Brandon Selby picked-up 18 points in the win, and Kyle Berk added another 11 to help the Falcons to their first 4-0 mark since the mid-90's.
For the Beacons, freshman Vinny DeLucia (Miami, Fl.) had a career night with 23 points on 10-of-18 shooting, which also included two 3-pointers. At the line, DeLucia was 1-for-2 to cap off his team and career best performance. Senior Isaac Jenkins (Pordenone, Italy) notched his first double-double of the year after scoring 18 points, while also pulling down 12 rebounds. Defensively he was just as solid tallying seven turnovers. Little East Conference Rookie of the Week, Cody Edmond (Plaquemine, La.) combined for 12 points and seven boards.
As a team the Beacons shot 39.8% on 33-of 83 shooting. For the Falcons their night consisted of 36-of-80 shooting from the field, which included six 3-pointers. Both teams struggled from the line with Fitchburg converting only 9 of their 14 chances, and UMass 11 of their 24 opportunities at the charity strip.
UMass Boston dominated on the glass and in the blocks column as they out rebounded the Falcons 53-47 and out blocked them 7-3. Defensively they also led the game in steals with 21, while the Falcons managed 18.
Tuesday's match-up was a fast-paced contest from start to finish. UMass Boston coming off their tough loss to Ramapo College last week, came out fired-up looking to the Falcons recent win-streak. The second the ball went up in the air for the opening tip, players from both teams gave everything they had as they battled up and down the hardwood for all 40 minutes of play. On top of the speed, Tuesday's match-up was a physical one as well with both teams pushing themselves to the limit on every possession.
The Beacons came out firing in the opening minutes, which gave them an early six point lead in the first three minutes of play (10-4). Fitchburg would find their rhythm early and would quickly take control of the scoreboard four minute later.
Fitchburg would maintain at-most a four point lead through the halfway point of the opening frame. It was not until an Edmond lay-up that tied the score for the eighth time in the first half, that the Beacons would regain control of the scoreboard.
Edmond, along with Yusuke Fukata (Osaka, Japan), DeLucia, and Jenkins would lead the Beacons on a 12-5 run over the last two minutes and 24 seconds to give UMass Boston a 42-39 lead going into the locker room.
After the intermission, the Falcons would respond with a run of their own and soared to a 12 point lead in the first five minutes of the new half. The Beacons would continue to chip away at the lead, but with fast-breaks and quick changes in possession, Fitchburg was able to maintain their lead, despite a late rally from UMass Boston. With two minutes left in the game, the Beacons quickly cut Fitchburg's 10 point lead down two five with another strong push. Unfortunately, the late surge was not enough as the Falcons held onto the six-point win.
Men's basketball returns to the Clark Athletic Center on Friday when they host Wheelock College at 7:30 p.m. in the first round of the 27th Annual Harbor Invitational. In game one it will be Trinity College (Conn.) taking on Framingham State University at 5:30 p.m.

Do you ever offer stock full lace or lace front wigs with brown lace?
We have many African American customers, many of whom can wear transparent lace, especially those who habitually use concealer on their wigs. We do have stock lace front and full lace wigs in brown lace. Lace can always be tinted darker, but it cannot be tinted lighter. Therefore, if there is a stock wig that you would like to order, we can tint (color) the lace on the wig, as long as the hair color is #1, 2, 3 or 4, or if the wig has dark roots. If the wig is lighter, or blonde, we cannot tint the lace once the wig has been made because the dye will stain the hair.
When you order a custom wig, you can chose the lace color.

Wabash Wins Great Lakes Regional XC Titleby Brent Harris • November 16, 2013 Share:
Wabash placed five runners in the top-20 spots Saturday to rip the NCAA Cross Country Great Lakes Regional title away from Calvin College and earn a place at the national championship meet for fourth consecutive year.
The Little Giants ended a 17-year reign by the Knights dating back to 1996 when Wabash last won the regional title. Equally impressive, the victory came in a race that took place on Calvin's home course in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Dalton Boyer topped the Wabash group, finishing second in the field of 252 runners. He crossed the finish line 25:14.7, his quickest time of the year. Boyer finished four seconds back of regional champion Paul Lewis from Albion with a winning time of 25:10.0.
The Wabash depth and pack approach led to the win. Two more Little Giants finished before the first Calvin runner could complete the 8000-meter loop. Jared Burris posted his best time of the year by 16 seconds, taking 11th place with a time of 25:33.1 Billy McManus finished right behind in 12th place at 25:36.6, also a season-best effort.
Adam Togami was the next Wabash runner to break the tape, finishing 15th with a time of 25:37.2, 25 seconds quicker than his previous best time this season. Nick Boyce completed the scoring for the team with a 20th-place finish at 25:42.5, giving the Little Giants a gap time from first to fifth place of 28 seconds. Boyce also set a season-best mark, bettering his previous best this year by nine seconds.
Fabian House was close behind in 24th place at 25:56.3, also a top mark in his first year as a member of the cross country team. Freshman Mason McKinney grabbed 49th place with a time of 26:19, another best performance of the year.
Wabash scored a total of 60 points, 19 better than second-place Calvin with 79. Manchester University took third place (109) followed by Mount Union (137) and Wooster (210).
The Little Giants return to nationals for fourth straight season. Wabash finished 13th at the 2010 national championship and 16th in 2011. Last year the Little Giants finished 28th. Wabash qualified for six consecutive national championship meet appearances from 1991 to 1996. During that time the Red Pack posted third-place finish in 1995 and a fourth-place finish in 1994.
Wabash will compete at the 2013 NCAA National Championship meet on November 23 at the L.S. Ayres Athletic Complex on the campus of Hanover College.

157 systems found
Finding software can be overwhelming. We've helped thousands of businesses choose the right ERP software so they can track information across departments and centralize data access.
The enterprise resource planning (ERP) software market is large and complex. There are hundreds of vendors offering best-of-breed (i.e., stand alone) ERP applications or integrated ERP software suites. Additionally, many ERP software companies offer vertical market solutions to meet the unique requirements of specific industries, such as manufacturing, distribution, retail and others. We wrote this buyer's guide to help organizations better understand how to select the best ERP system that suits their business needs.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is ERP Software?
A Comparison of Top ERP Solutions
Common Features of ERP Software
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Market Trends to Understand
Recent Events You Should Know About
An enterprise resource planning system helps organizations track information across all departments and business functions, from accounting to human resources to sales and beyond. Common ERP functionality includes:
The term "ERP" took root in the U.S. around 1990 as a growing number of organizations required integration outside of—but not exclusive of—their manufacturing applications. They needed to share data from their MRP system with say, their financial accounting, customer relationship, supply chain or other applications. Enterprise planning software was introduced to describe a broader system that integrated each of these applications. The top ERP software packages will cover the following application categories.
There are many popular accounting solutions on the market, and it can be hard to know what distinguishes one product from another and which is right for you. To help you better understand how the top accounting systems stack up against one another, we created a series of side-by-side product comparison pages that break down the details of what each solution offers in terms of pricing, applications, ease of use, support and more:
|Top SAP Comparisons
|SAP vs. Oracle JD Edwards
|ERP Accounting
|Accounting systems help organizations manage their financial transactions. At its core, it will have a general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable and payroll. Vendors often develop additional features and functionality to meet unique business and industry needs (e.g., Sage Nonprofit with fund accounting). Example vendors include Sage accounting software and Microsoft Dynamics.
|Business intelligence
|Business intelligence, as a term, gained widespread adoption in the late '90's. However, the technology has existed in some shape or form since the '60's. It is used to analyze and report business data to help companies make smarter business decisions. Core functions include analytics, data mining, reporting and more. An example vendor is SAP.
|Customer relationship management
|A CRM application is used to manage interactions with prospects, customers, clients and/or partners. It tracks activity across all departments: marketing, sales and service. Core applications closely align with these departments. They include sales force automation, marketing automation and service and support. CRM aims to increase customers, revenue and customer satisfaction. An example vendor is Oracle.
|Human resources
|Modern HR systems help organizations manage traditional HR activities such as personnel tracking and benefits administration, as well as new strategic HR initiatives like talent management, employee evaluation and learning management. Example vendors include Epicor and Lawson Software.
|Inventory management
|An inventory management program helps companies track up-to-date information about their product supply. Its aim is to maintain optimum stock levels so that companies avoid depreciation of inventory and overspending, and ultimately maximize profits. There are different types of inventory programs to meet the unique requirements of different industries and companies. For example, a food distributor will have different inventory management needs than say, an apparel retailer. Sample products include MAS 90 and 200 Software.
|We wouldn't have enterprise resource software if it wasn't for manufacturing resource planning software. Today, it's at the core of many well-known ERP systems. Other manufacturing applications and/or modules include manufacturing execution systems (MES), bill of materials (BOM), product life cycle management and more. Example vendors include NetSuite, Infor and Sage.
|Supply chain management
|The supply chain management (SCM) application tracks goods as they move from manufacturing facilities to distribution centers to retail stores. Common applications include: supply chain planning to adjust inventory as demand changes; supplier management to monitor performance of suppliers; warehouse management to track placement of goods within a warehouse, and others.
Before evaluating options and performing an ERP software comparison, you'll need to determine what type of buyer you are. Over 90 percent of buyers fall into one of these three groups:
Enterprise resource planning systems buyer. These buyers require integration of data across all departments. They want to have everything in one system and avoid the technical challenges of integrating disparate applications. These buyers favor complete ERP solutions like SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, Epicor, Oracle and others.
Best-of-breed buyers. These buyers require a single component like a standalone CRM system or a HR system. They often need greater functionality and more features than what is offered in an integrated suite. Because of the functional depth these buyers require, it's important that they spend time evaluating reviews for specialized systems instead of integrated suites.
Small business buyers. A year ago analysts predicted that the average company would have 18 employees before adopting an ERP system. Five years ago the average number was 29. Statistics aside, more and more small businesses want to leverage ERP technology for better business performance. In the past, high upfront costs and technical challenges kept many small businesses out of the market. But with a growing number of cloud options, small business buyers have a new opportunity to implement enterprise-level technology. Of course there are still on-premise or client/server options still available for small businesses.
There are several trends playing out in the market. ERP software vendors are consolidating, adoption of software as a service (SaaS) is growing and more. Here we'll highlight a few you should know about.
Vendor consolidation. The consolidation of ERP products isn't necessarily a new trend. Mergers and acquisitions have always been a part of this market's history. However, the rate at which it's taking place and the implications it has for buyers are worth mentioning. Large vendors continue to acquire niche vendors to round out their product lines, acquire excellent technology or to expand into new geographic markets. Buyers need to consider this when evaluating systems. In a worst-case scenario, their provider gets acquired, the product gets sunsetted and support and updates are no longer available. Avoid this situation by considering a vendor's financial and strategic viability.
Adoption of software as a service. SaaS or Web-based ERP is an appealing alternative to traditional on-premise systems. The initial investment is lower, the implementation can be quicker, the user interface is familiar (it runs in a Web browser) and companies don't need full-time IT staff to maintain servers and hardware. Most ERP vendors now offer—or have plans to offer—some kind of Web-based option.
Mobile app development. Vendors have responded to rapid growth in smartphone adoption by developing mobile interfaces for their ERP software systems. For example, Oracle already has a mobile client, so do SAP and Epicor.
Social media integration. Although very much in its infancy, many ERP companies are developing social media tools to keep abreast of the bigger trend playing out.

Take this short survey so we can help you identify the products that best fit your needs.
A Graphic of the Top-Rated ERP Products
FrontRunners uses real reviews from real software users to highlight the top software products for North American small businesses.
Our goal is to help small businesses to make more informed decisions about what software is right for them. That's why we engineered FrontRunners.
To create this report, we evaluated over 195 ERP products. Only those with the top scores for Usability and User Recommended made the cut as FrontRunners.
Scores are based on reviews from real software users.
The Different Graphics Show Different Sizes of Vendors
Small and Enterprise refer to the size of the software vendor company—not necessarily the size of customers they serve.
We break vendors into two groups for two reasons: It's a more equal comparison of products, and software buyers have told us it's helpful.
To determine who's Small and who's Enterprise, we look at how many employees the vendors have. All products in FrontRunners, whether Enterprise or Small, are evaluated using the same process.
Each graphic shows the top 10-15 performers for each the Enterprise and Small vendor categories. You can switch views simply by clicking on the version you'd like to see (above the graphic). You can read more in the full FrontRunners methodology here.
Products Are Scored Based on User Reviews
The gist is that products are scored in two areas—Usability and User Recommended—based on actual user ratings.
To be considered at all, products must have at least 20 reviews published within the previous 18 months, and meet minimum user rating scores. They also have to offer a core set of functionality—for example, ERP products have to offer financial management, HR management and inventory management.
From there, user reviews dictate the Usability and User Recommended scores. Usability is plotted on the x-axis and User Recommended on the y-axis.
