Categories > Celebrities > Fall Out Boy > And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I stood there with a note for my head asking what my heart said4 Reviews
My goal is to complete my unfinished stories. I have said this before, so maybe this time it will work? Who knows with me right?
So will Hayden and Pete work out for the best since he dumped Ashlee for lying about her pregnancy or will Pete run back to Ashlee? Will Patrick continue to burry his feelings for Hayden to let his best friend be happy?
There is only a month left on the tour and Pete and I have been inseparable. Our relationship has moved pretty fast and it makes me somewhat nervous. Things that start up so fast usually end pretty fast too, especially with celebrities. Not that I have dated one before, but from what you see in the media.
I am laying on the couch in Joe's room watching Joe play some video game, not realy sure what it is, but he's doing really well at it.
"So where's Pete?" Joe asked as he murdered something.
"I don't know, somewhere with Patrick I think. They had some interview thingy or something." I said honestly. I didn't have a clue where they went together, but they were together and that's all I knew.
"Cool, glad I didn't have to go. I don't feel like doing anything today since it's our day off." He shook his fro a little bit to get a better view of the screen.
"Seriously trim your fro buddy before it burries you alive," I teased and Joe laughed.
"I know, I almost can't see." Joe said. We continued this for about another hour before I got bored and retreated back to my room. Still no Pete or Patrick and nothing on my phone. I sent a text to both asking when they'd be back.
Patrick: soon
I never received a response from Pete and I just figured he'd be back with Patrick. I decided to wait in Pete's room. I walked to the room and was about to put the cardkey in the slot when I heard voices. I pressed my ear to the door and I heard Pete arguing with a woman.
"I don't believe you. You lied to me last time and how do I know it is even mine?" He barked at the unknown woman.
"I will pee on a fucking stick right now and why would it be anyone else? I've been calling you incessantly because I am still in love with you!" The woman yelled back.
Was Ashlee in his room with him? Was she pregnant with his baby? I couldn't help but continue to listen. I had to know what was happening.
"It's been one fucking month Ashlee, you could have gotten knocked up by someone else. It's totally possible."
"Unlike you, I haven't been fucking around with someone else." She spat back. Oh, I guess she knew about us.
"I'm not 'fucking around' because it's an actual relationship."
"Well you rushed right into that one, as always Pete. You're still in love with me and I know it, so what you two have can't be that deep. She's just rebound, admit it."
"So maybe she's rebound, whatever. Doesn't mean that I actually want to be with you again. I have feelings for her so it's not like she some random chick."
"Oh, so how is she different from the last girl that was on tour?" Ashlee asked Pete and there was silence for a minute. What the fuck was going on? I was just his rebound? And what happened with the last girl that came on tour? Did he do the same thing? No wonder Patrick got so upset. I couldn't bear to hear anymore, the tears were streaming down my cheeks and it almost burned. I ran from Pete's room and back to mine, locking the latch from the inside to ensure no one could enter. The only person I wanted to see right now was Patrick and I had to wait for him to get back. I needed to know when he'd be back.
Hayden: stumpy i need you now
Patrick: whats going on?
Hayden: i hate pete
Patrick: i'll be there in 10 min
I cried into my pillow until Patrick got there. I made sure it was him before opening the door. I didn't want to see Pete right now. Patrick shut and locked the door behind him and pulled me into a hug. I spilled everything I'd heard to him and he just held me the entire time. After I finished, he was silent for a long time. He probably didn't want to tell me that he felt any of it was true as well. I was purely Pete Wentz's rebound fling. Eventually Patrick got me to lay on the couch and I laid my head in his lap and we watched TV. He ran his fingers through my hair until I finally fell asleep.
I was woken up by hushed talking right outside my door, the door was cracked slightly and I could make out Pete and Patrick's voices. I covered my face with a pillow because I didn't want to see Pete right now.

Former Wildcat wrestler earns invitation to Olympic trials
Former Oak Harbor High School wrestler Sydney Nelson has qualified for the Olympic trials.
Nelson, who placed second in the state tournament as an OHHS sophomore in 2007, earned the invitation to the April 21 and 22 trials by finishing second in the National Wrestling Coaches Association tournament in January.
Nelson moved to Georgia after her sophomore year at Oak Harbor High School and went on to wrestle for the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Ken.

What would you put in that hood? You can't put spices in there - they need to be away from heat. I've seen a picture of the hood before and can't figure what it would be useful for.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- David Price pitched three-hit ball over seven innings for his AL-leading 16th victory and the Tampa Bay Rays got home runs from Evan Longoria, B.J. Upton and Ben Zobrist in a 7-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night. Burke Badenhop and Wade Davis each worked one inning in the Rays' third straight shutout against the Angels. The Halos have gone 32 consecutive innings without scoring against a staff that leads the AL in ERA, opponents' batting average and strikeouts. Price (16-4) struck out eight, walked two and lowered his ERA to 2.39, third in the AL behind the Angels' Jered Weaver and Detroit's Justin Verlander. The left-hander allowed only two runners to third base in this one, striking out Chris Iannetta to end the fifth inning and fanning Vernon Wells to escape the seventh. Price is 7-0 with a 2.21 ERA over his last nine road starts, and 8-0 with a 1.72 ERA in his last 11 starts overall since a 9-1 home loss to the New ...

Hey Bill, please tell all you ac buddies that we are tired of them rehashing all the players that have transferred, etc. Can't they develop a new story line? Or, how about an article on players that have left GT, or Alabama, or Auburn, etc. If they won't get off the transfer story, at least discuss some other schools so we have a frame or reference. I'm tired of hearing about something I suspect happens everywhere for all sorts of reasons.

As long as we transfering out the stinkys players to free schollies for new recruits that can try out to show SEC talent. Then I got no problems with it. Plus the ones that not working hard learn to get motivated or be transfered out. You free schollie for new recruits and motivates rest a team by kicking out the stinkys with transfer.

Labor's Last Stand in 2011?

WikiLeaks Versus the Empire
Tom Hayden: Informed sources say that the current deluge of WikiLeaks documents will continue for another week and grow in significance. Why is this drama important? Not because of "life-threatening" leaks as claimed by the establishment, but because the closed doors of power need to be open to public review.
The Obama Plot for a Carbon Tax
Robert Reich: Tuesday night, President Obama did not call for a tax on carbon. He didn't even ask the Senate to pass the cap-and-trade legislation that emerged from the House. Instead, he said there were lots of good ideas out there and he's willing to consider any of them — which seemed more like a way of declaring cap-and-trade dead.
Blue Dog Democrats Exposed as Frauds
Paul Hogarth: many Blue Dogs are in trouble because of health care, and ironically what could save their hide is a public option. Instead, they are left selling a corporate-friendly bill hashed behind closed doors that forces Americans to buy private insurance – which will only make their constituents vote Republican. That's why so many Blue Dogs are retiring – so they can bail and become lobbyists for the insurance industry.
Political Predictions for 2010
Paul Hogarth: California desperately needs to abolish the two-thirds requirement to pass a state budget, and even an amendment that does not include taxes would be incremental progress. But unless labor unions start putting real money in this effort, and the Democratic Party makes it the priority it must be, it's going to get lost in the shuffle – and we won't have what it takes to run a winning campaign.
2009: The Year Change Fell Prey to Backroom Deals
I don't recall how or when single-payer was taken "off the table" – except that Senator Max Baucus said it was. Without single payer, progressives focused on the public option – which although a compromise, could have held insurance companies accountable. Everyone knew it was tough and compromise would happen, but we were supposed to be part of that decision.

Little Sister Restaurant Review: The Manhattan Beach dining scene has been heating up recently with trendy restaurant openings. Among these is Little Sister, a project from co-owners Jed Sanford and chef Tin Vuong (Abigaile). Although little in size and in name, the restaurant is big in character and ambience. Be prepared for high decibels as the room can get very noisy. A long banquette lines one wall of the space, which also encompasses a handful of tables, a communal table that can seat up to nine guests, and a counter where patrons can observe some of the food prep. Chef Vuong takes taste buds on a Southeast Asian culinary journey based on Cantonese cuisine with Vietnamese accents. Skip around the various menu headings: "Introductions" (beef tartare with pear, pine nuts, quail egg and bone marrow vin), "Rice Paper" (grilled pork spring rolls), "Fish and Shellfish" (quick-fried scallops with mango chutney in a Malaysian yellow curry sauce), "Meat and Poultry" (crispy flatbread filled with chili lamb), "Noodles and Rice" (Saigon lemongrass beef, vermicelli noodles, herbs, cucumbers and chili-lime dressing) and "Eastside 626 Provisions" (ma la pickles with Szechuan peppercorns). The wine list favors California selections, and there are also several sakés. About a dozen interesting beers are on tap, including Abigaile's house-brewed beers such as the Sir Charles Mild ale. Little Sister may not be a temple of gastronomy, but it is a fun place that we hope will continue to please our palate for years to come.

Church Ladies Gone Wild!
May 15, 2006
ChurchFilter:I don't know if I should stay with this congregation or cut my losses and find a new parish...
Last year I posted about
some issues
I was having with our church website, and how one member of our congregation constantly had issues with the site. I got some good technical advice, but more importantly, I got confirmation that SHE was the issue, rather than my web skills.
For whatever reason, this woman has a problem with me. Call it insecurity, unwillingness to change, whatever, but in the year and a half that she and I have served on our Vestry together, she hasn't let a meeting go by without some kind of dig, or nasty comment, or temper tantrum. Every time she has acted out in one of these meetings, she has been calmed down by someone in a "Now, now, don't get all excited, dear" sort of way, while I sit there with mouth agape, reeling from whatever she just said to me, or about me. Attempts to defend myself have been met with "Ok ladies, let's not do this here. Everyone's opinions are valued, so let's all just get along."
I've told the Rector many times that she makes me uncomfortable, hurts my feelings and seems to be thwarting my ability to actually do my job and he has managed to be simultaneously sympathetic to me and defensive of her("that's just the way she is, don't take it personally")
This past week we had a meeting where she finally completely lost it with me. A few people started to speak up for me, but the Senior Warden quickly smoothed over everything as he is wont to do and moved on. As soon as the meeting ended I told him "I'm not putting up with this anymore" and hightailed out of there.
The next day both he and the Rector spoke to her and told her her behavior was unacceptable. Next month they're going to lay down "behavior guidelines" for the Vestry, as though we've all been bad little kids! The Rector told me that "she should apologize, but I know she won't" and I again feel totally unsupported. All that will happen is that she will resent me even more and instead of bitching at meetings will bitch behind the scenes.
I have been happy in this congregation otherwise, and have put a lot of work into outreach and marketing (or trying to, anyway!). My husband is fed up and wants to go to another church, but I so much prefer going to a church in our community (there are no other churches in our denomination in this town). I don't know what to do.

Cut and run.
Given what you've said, and the broader context, I think this person is probably capable of ignoring whatever argument/evidence/rules you can muster for your position/work/whatever (I'm not clear from the post what it is you actually do) and will continue to think/behave as she is doing.
Some people are just not nice.

On the other hand, it seems every church has its fair share of curmudgeons. Our church is considering leasing out our parking lot to a developer to build condos- the final consideration hasn't started yet, and already the fight is getting nasty. ::shrugs:: That's just church politics for you (really, any organization politics). If she's only going to be bitching about you behind the scenes from now on, maybe you won't have to hear about it and you can stand it? You and your husband have to balance all factors out and decide what's worth it. Rough. I don't envy you.

I think it would be a shame for you to leave your congregation because of one person. Have you tried to talk to her about her issues with you? I don't mean placating her or apologizing for something you didn't do. Talk to her privately and say "What's your problem?" If she has a semi-legit beef, work it out. If not, perhaps a face-to-face confrontation will embarrass her into silence.

If leadership is not willing to draw a line and inform her her behavior is unacceptable, I would agree with your husband and go elsewhere. Part of leadership includes such and they are simply wimping out.

From a theological perspective, having a dispute with one member of a congregation hardly seems to be a good reason for leaving. When you leave you're also depriving the other member of the congregation of your perspective and services.
I don't know what the other person's problem is, but it is ssomething that the reverend/priest should take care of. It's largely his responsibility to take every reasonable measure to keep from disharmony affecting the congrgation. Maybe one or both of you need to be taken off of the Vestry. But if they've just gotten around to putting the offending party in her place, at least see how it works out before leaving.
"Every church has its fair share of curmudgeons." That is very, very true. You stay at any church long enough and you'll heva problems. Best to figure out how to work through them.

What actual damage could she do? (Real question, not rhetorical.) It sounds as though everyone that works with her, and maybe everyone in the congregation, knows she's not all there, and won't take her bitching seriously.

I admit I have nothing particularly constructive to suggest, but I just want to interject that I am fascinated that, even in a church you get that "Everyone's opinions are valued" routine. I would think a church would be one of those places where someone could lay down the law and say "this is right, that is wrong."
And frankly, someone in a position of responsibility needs to do that here. You don't need to abandon the church, but it seems you could take a less active role in it. That would be letting the other woman win (perhaps until she starts picking on someone else, who then follows your lead, etc, and after a while someone really will do something), but if you can't get satisfaction any other way, it could be a sanity-preserving move.

This is a much bigger issue than the person described here. She is being allowed to be disrespectful, disruptive, and dismissive. This

We will communicate openly, honestly and respectfully. We will listen carefully with open minds and open hearts. We will assume good intentions, practice tolerance and resist the temptation to become offended. We will take responsibility for our speech, actions and feelings, and we will be sensitive to possible conflicts and willing to work toward solutions. We will consider other perspectives and will strive not for unanimity but for mutual respect. We will honor our own boundaries and the boundaries of others. We will respect and support the diversity within our congregation and work to foster a welcoming environment.
That example may be a little too woo-woo for you, but this gives you an idea of how things are done in other churches - maybe your denomination has similar guidelines? Best of luck.

From a theological perspective, having a dispute with one member of a congregation hardly seems to be a good reason for leaving. When you leave you're also depriving the other member of the congregation of your perspective and services.
This is one of my chief issues with leaving.
I am, officially, the "Outreach Coordiator" a Vestry position that I suggested, upon hearing from congregants that they often had no idea who was doing what, or who to contact with ideas. The idea was that folks involved in outreach projects, like the prayer shawl ministry or the food pantry, would report their activities/requests/issues to me. I would bring this report to the Vestry, deal with any issues there (ie the youth group needs money for a VCR, or the Brownie troop keeps using the Bible Study Group's supplies) and keep the congrgation as a whole apprised of what was going on with our ministry groups. This is an elected, volunteer position. In truth, what has happened is that the outreach groups would rather remain anonymous and people are under the expectation that I am going to do everything myself.
When I attempt to address some of the dysfuncytional organizational and communication issues by suggesting say, drawing up an org chart or designating a fundraising chair or a publicity committee, the general attitude is "we're a small parish, we don't need to complicate things." Small and getting smaller, because people like me with real-world experience in communications or marketing or management are frustrated by the half-assed way of doing things and the absolute unwillingness to change how things have been done, whether they work or not.
Our priest is a lovely man, who speaks very movingly about love and acceptance and forgiveness but who seems unable to do any heavy lifting in terms of the poor, the lonely and the lost. I am itching to DO something and he wants to dialogue some more. (Was divinity school in the 60s really wishy washy?) There is a vast disconnect between the sermons and the actual activities of our parish, most of which center around fundraising for ourselves.
As for Mrs. Cranky, she seems to have, despite her reputaton, gotten in with the group that does the fairs and bazaars and bake sales. They are all apparently upset that I did not volunteer at the last fundraiser, because that's outreach, too. I think she'll continue her tirades against me and will influence other people.
Most of all, I'm hurt. Hurt that it took 18 months for anyone to say anything to her, despite the fact that they knew I was hurt. No one has ever asked her what her problem is, or offered to mediate between us, or even asked us to pray for a resolution of some kind. She's simply been given a free pass to behave badly.

Your next church may also have someone who uses hurt feelings and "sensitivity" to bully people. If you leave, will you always feel as if you should've stood your ground? Is there another church that you feel drawn to?
Have a heart to heart with the pastor, rector or other spiritual leader. It's wrong to allow one person to bully others. If you do leave, they should understand why. Whether you stay or go, they should approach the bully with compassion and a firm, No Bullying. Period. stance.

Your clarification only strengthens my initial position of "cut and run".
1) You don't get alone with one of the well conntected little old ladies
2) they don't seem to get anything done, and you'd like to get stuff done
3) they don't seem to want to learn how to get anything done, and you want to enable them to get stuff done (see 2)
You probably can't do anything about any of these issues, and trying is likely to cause you more stress than it's worth.
Not only that, but if you leave you'll probably be making it easier on the other people - whether they're right to be bothered by you or not, you DO seem to be bothering them, so you'll also be being nice to them in a roundabout sort of way if you leave.

Every group of people larger than two has a jerk in it, Churches are no different. Either, deal with this woman's anger yourself or give up the position, but changing to another church will probably put you in the same spot with a new group of peole. A church is very much a social dominance hierarchy (whether you like it or not), get in this woman's face and stand your ground. Nobody will think less of you for it, they just don't want to confront her themselves.

Then it sounds to me like you've both got more than enough reasons to leave this congregation for another. I understand not wanting to give up, but it sounds like you are being prevented from doing some real good by unresolvable issues here.

Do you like where you are? You say you do. If so then stay and fight it out with the old biddy. You have allowed her to treat you like this for 18 months? It is time to put a stop to her behavior and it is time for you to stop looking for someone else to stop it for you. You are a woman. Let her hear you roar. Let loose some of that indignant self righteous anger. Tell her you're mad as hell and you're not gonna take it anymore. Pretend you are Jesus and she is a money changer in the temple. Let her have it.

This sounds so much like our school's PTA that it would be funny if it weren't sad. A group of cliquish women who volunteer and do good things, but only on their own terms and they'll only let you in to play if you will play by their rules and make nice to them. A perceived slight against one of them causes them all to rally round and attack the offending outsider. I suspect it is true of many organizations that are mainly run by volunteers.
Managing this kind of group is tricky and if the person who is supposed to be in authority won't lead, things are much harder on the people who want to work to get things done. The only way I know of dealing with this situation is to make your self indispensable and slowly gather as much control and as many people to your side as you can by a mixture of efficiency, diplomacy and guile. In the end you may be able to marginalize the unhealthy elements, though you are unlikely to be able to get rid of them. It is a long strategy, and takes a thick skin.
If you don't like those sorts of situations leaving might be a be a better option, but there is a definite possibility that a new congregation will have similar characters and dynamics.

Do you feel that the issue is just this one woman, or the whole group that passively supports her?
The answer might influence your decision.

I don't think this is so much about every church/school/workplace/whatever having its share of difficult individuals (or even difficult cliques) and simply learning how to deal with them. In Biblio's own words, this place is fundamentally dysfunctional at an organizational level, from the logistics of simply getting things done to figures of authority refusing to step in and put an end to bullying. Those are not factors that will be solved by a simple "what's your problem" discussion/confrontation, nor are they factors that will
be present in another parish.
Combined with the more general discontent you feel, Biblio ("there is a vast disconnect between the sermons and the actual activities of our parish, most of which center around fundraising for ourselves"), I think that despite the convenience of attending this particular church, you may simply have reached the point where you need to move on.

Have you prayed about the situation? I don't mean the "Lord remove this woman prayer", but a sincere prayer for guidance on handling the situation. Lord help me with MY temperament, patience in dealing with this situation. Help me to have favor if I'm right. Help me have the right attitude towards my sister. Use my mouth not as a weapon to tear down, but as a voice to speak praises and build a bridge. Have you tried to take this person to lunch and find out what the root of the issue is? Don't listen to the advice on cutting your losses and running from the situation. That's what's wrong with today's "religious" Christians always running from a fight when the bible teaches use to "pray for our enemies" and to resort to niceness. The scripture says being nice to our enemies is like dumping hot coals on their head.
Being in youth ministry for 13 years I've had my share of parent's rants and raves and being told that they hated me or resented me because I had to discipline their child or had a better relationship with them. I just turned the other cheek and got on my knees and prayed for a solution to the situation. I've even apologized to the people I've done nothing wrong too to help the situation smooth over and those parents have become my biggest supporters. This is a spiritual battle being fought in the fresh. The devil would like nothing more than to divide your church and keep it preoccupied with inner bickering instead of reaching souls.
Get away from the religious fleshly advise and think like a Christian (to be Christ like), but honestly "What would Jesus do?" He would make things right. So pray about the situation. Face this bump in the road head on. Ask the Lord to give you the right words to say when speaking to this person. Try to work things out between you and her. Like I stated before take her to lunch be very frank with her. Be nice, but get your point across. Let her know your true feelings. If you've been hurt let her know. Like my wife tells me "it's all in the presentation" Why should you leave a church that you love. If you want to do the Christian thing then work hard to mend this relationship.
If you decide to leave don't make the mistake of moving on before making things right with her. Free yourself of the baggage and bitterness that has attached itself to you and your husband. If you don't let go the same thing will happen at the church down the road. Talk to her before you leave and be honest with her and yourself. Give her the opportunity to ask for forgiveness and you do the same with her. Turn the other cheek, if the conversation doesn't work out. Remember she will always carry this around in her life as well, even if she is not receptive to idea of forgiving you at least you did your part scripturally to clear up the situation and be ready to make Heaven your home.

I agree another congregation might be a better fit, but if you decide to stay, try changing your tactics. Be more strategic about how you try to get what you want. If you think of it in marketing terms, you have a very specific target audience here.
It sounds like the pastor (?) and everyone wants people to rise above their personal feelings and be "nice," quashing legitimate hurt and anger in the name of turning the other cheek. Self-denial and conflict avoidance is so pervasive in religious contexts that even healthy self protection may seem like selfishness or pettiness, or make people uncomfortable. They just want to be holy and clean.
So, I'd phrase all your comments and suggestions from the moral high ground, don't "dirty" them with anything as "messy" as personal feelings. No one will risk seeming "mean" to her just to protect you. For God, or the church, or to be proper, though? Maybe. To get them on your side, you have to claim the moral high ground.
So, you might express your discomfort with her in charitable terms like, "That poor woman, she's been dealing with so much, but (discrete whisper:) I do think it might sometimes keep her from acting in the true christian manner that I know she aspires to." "Maybe she should be relieved of some of her duties after so many years of service." Brush off personal slights and focus on the problems it causes for others besides yourself, like, "She's really been struggling, I know she didn't mean her comment to me personally, but I do think outbursts like that affect
other members
who are more sensitive than I am, and this sort of animosity might be keeping some people away from services." Don't talk about what you want, talk about what is right and wrong, like, "I just think that some people (ahem) make hateful comments and provoke dissent among us, and that this really shouldn't go on within our congregation." You could even play off their "oh, ladies," angle by regretfully having to pass along that in private she "can be downright nasty (!)" as though you're embarrassed, but you feel the men really must know what goes on in the ladies sitting room. Another useful phrase is "I hate to be petty." Because of course, you're trying to rise above your personal feelings, and your concern is only for others, the weaker ones, the church as a whole, God's teachings, and establishing a climate of proper Christian morals.
Not "I feel hurt." Valid? Honest? Psychologically healthy? Yes. Strategic? Maybe not.
Then -- in those other areas of service like helping the poor -- you may have to become the moral leader, promoting your ideas in terms like "God's work" or "double our efforts to feed the hungry," you get the picture. (Then hint to the fundraisers that this will attract other "more active" or "more professional" or "younger" churchgoers, whatever group they might presume would tithe more.)
I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, and I'm not suggesting you be truly dishonest or underhanded, just that you translate your feelings into certain kinds of messages that might work.

Such good advice here, everyone! I am truly impressed by the thoughtfulness of the replies.
I have decided...to resign from the vestry, but continue as a member of the parish and continue with 3 specific projects I am currently involved in. My family and I will reexamine the situation periodically to decide if this is working.
When I write my letter of resignation to the vestry, I will be careful to use language that takes the focus off me and puts it on the church and its mission.
As for Mrs Crankypants, She will probably feel as though she has won something when I resign. So be it. Maybe the vestry will get more done without me there, and that can't be a bad thing.
Thank you again, all of you!

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Xactly Corporation, (http://www.xactlycorp.com/), the leader in automated on-demand sales compensation management, today announced at salesforce.com's Apex Day event in San Francisco, several major customer wins that validate Xactly Incent(TM) for AppExchange as one of the leading sales compensation management solutions on the AppExchange.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050906/SFF038LOGO )
Since May 2006, when Xactly Incent went live on the AppExchange, Xactly has signed a number of customers -- including CNET, NetQoS, QuoteRetriever.com, BlueArc Corporation, PostX, WageWorks, Inc., Sylantro Systems, Riverbed, F5, Linksys, DoubleClick, Cablevision, Powerlight, Speakeasy, SonicWALL, Procuri and SchoolDude.com -- that are either directly attributable to lead generation via the AppExchange or who are who accessing Xactly Incent by way of the AppExchange. These businesses -- representing software and technology, media and entertainment, financial services, technology services, manufacturing and distribution, telecom and education -- now benefit from sales compensation management within their Salesforce implementations.
"AppExchange has proven itself to be an excellent marketing channel and lead generation vehicle that complements our direct selling efforts," said Karen Steele, Xactly vice president of marketing. "Salesforce.com customers are realizing tremendous synergies and business efficiencies by combining on-demand CRM and on-demand sales compensation management. Xactly is fundamentally changing the way businesses manage sales compensation and motivate sales reps to increase sales productivity and profits."
Xactly Incent for AppExchange is used by sales and finance executives, compensation analysts, sales operations and sales professionals. Xactly Incent's rules-based architecture gives companies the flexibility to easily create and manage any type of compensation plan with minimum initial investment and low cost of ownership.
"Sales compensation management and CRM go hand-in-hand, so it's no surprise that customers are deploying Xactly Incent with Salesforce," said Matt Holleran, vice president, AppExchange partners, salesforce.com. "The tight integration Xactly provides with Salesforce via the AppExchange is a significant benefit to our customers."
"Xactly provides tremendous business value by enabling salesforce.com customers to immediately extend their investment in Salesforce by integrating with Xactly Incent," said Jeff Kaplan, THINKstrategies, founder and managing director. "The combination of on-demand CRM and on-demand sales compensation is a powerful catalyst for driving sales performance and for motivating sales teams to sell more."
Xactly Incent's patent-pending Incentive Estimator provides Salesforce customers with the ability to run "what-if" scenarios based on Salesforce opportunities or estimated sales to calculate potential commission and bonus estimates and payments before, during and after a sale. From Xactly Incent, customers can quickly access the Salesforce opportunities of interest by using filters on information such as date and probability of closure.
Xactly is the first and only company completely focused on delivering a 100% on-demand sales compensation management solution. It is also the first and only company to deliver a true multi-tenant solution in a SAS 70 Type II certified environment. This single-minded approach enables Xactly to minimize hardware and software infrastructure costs -- savings that are then passed on to customers -- and accelerate the process by which it delivers new features and functionality.

I think that the front of the wrap is awkwardly short, just kind of dangling there like the length was chopped off.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Developing news from the Lubbock Police Department, where Wednesday afternoon, authorities broke up a suspected organized crime ring. Lubbock Police had half-a-dozen people in custody Wednesday evening, and they were searching for more.
This is a four month long investigation. It began when an employee stole different shipments of Apple iPods and Apple laptop computers from a UPS warehouse in Lubbock. Authorities tell us the merchandise was distributed at a discount through, as they describe it, several layers of hierarchical criminal structure. What's unique about his case, according to detectives, is that the stolen items were advertised to others through text messaging.
Police arrested six people Tuesday. They're charged with organized crime, held on bonds ranging from $50-$100,000. Authorities continued to search for six other suspects. One is charged with organized crime and the rest are charged with theft for knowingly buying stolen property.
In the meantime, police tell us they have the serial numbers for all the stolen merchandise and they urge folks who didn't purchased their iPods or Apple laptops from sources other than authorized Apple retailers to contact them. "You may have purchased that device not knowing that it's stolen, and certainly you're not in any trouble for that, but we do need to determine if that's stolen or not," Lubbock Police Captain Greg Stevens said.
You can call Lubbock Police at (806) 775-2431 to check your items. Just give them the serial number, and they can find out for you. We'll continue to follow this developing story, and bring you the latest on NewsChannel 11 at ten.

Haier HC125FVS door gasket
Hello, I am trying to locate a door seal gasket for my Haier HC125FVS appliance. I have searched everywhere and no one seems to have specific information on the gasket or doesn't sell to non commercial people.
Here is my model and manual:
Any help locating the part # or a place that sell the correct seal, I would be so happy.
Thanks in advance!
Have you contacted the company?
No, another company contacted them to reference the part and hopefully order it for me, but it's no longer made.

Investing in South Africa
Dachser opens fourth South Africa office20 November 2012 Dachser South Africa, the local division of the global logistics service provider and transport company, has opened a branch in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape province. This is Dachser's fourth South African branch office, adding to locations in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. "This office has been in the pipeline for some time, driven by expanding opportunities in the Eastern Cape," managing director of Dachser South Africa, Detlev Duve, said in a statement last week. Dachser plans to harness the opportunities brought by the continuous growth in the logistics industry in the Eastern Cape since the inception of the Port of Ngqura, approximately 20 kilometres northeast of Port Elizabeth at the mouth of the Coega River. "It is important to us to offer our customers, particularly in the automotive industry, a transport solution and a connection to our global logistics network from Port Elizabeth to the rest of South Africa," said managing director Dachser Air & Sea Logistics, Thomas Reuter. Harold Thomas has been appointed manager of the Port Elizabeth branch office. With more than 30 years of experience in the freight industry, Thomas will lead a team of highly skilled staff recruited from the Port Elizabeth area. "Dachser South Africa is committed to employing and training local staff. Job creation will continue to be important to us, especially given the high unemployment rate in the region," Duve said. Dachser was founded by Thomas Dachser in Kempten, Germany in 1930 as a haulage company. It has since grown to include offices in the rest of Europe, Asia, the United States, South America, as well as South Africa. SAinfo reporter

However, all residents selected to live in the Greenbelt are expected, at the very least, to embrace the mission of the community and aspire to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Residents should be students who are interested in learning more about what is meant by the concept of sustainability while gaining an understanding of their own impact upon the environment. It is expected that students who live in the Greenbelt Community will become sustainability leaders on the Furman campus. Living in the community includes a mix of academic, social, and campus and community service components focused around sustainability. It is expected that residents will be active and will work together to help develop and implement action plans for sustainability related change on campus and in the Greenville area. Students interested in living in the Greenbelt are strongly encouraged to have already taken or are planning to take a course(s) in either Earth and Environmental Science (EES) or Sustainability Science (SUS). While it is not required for students to have already had one of these classes prior to living in the Greenbelt, these subjects provide good intellectual depth and understanding for the concept of sustainability as well as offer context for the living/learning experience.All students who desire to live in the Greenbelt Community must agree to abide by the following basic expectations for living in a residential learning community committed to sustainability: They must agree to support the mission and goals of the community. They must agree to aspire to a lifestyle that embraces the concept of sustainability (i.e. learn more about sustainable living practices, attempt to reduce energy consumption, engage in composting, recycle). They must agree to be leaders and champions for sustainability on the Furman campus. They must agree to meet regularly to help foster and develop an intellectual and residential community. They must agree to attend Greenbelt Community sponsored events held throughout out the semester. The dates and times of events will be announced by the Greenbelt RA and faculty/staff. Students should recognize that not adhering to these commitments could potentially result in their dismissal from the community and relocation to another area of campus housing.

Delays leave corn in the field, farmers struggling to harvest
WILLMAR -- About one quarter of the area's corn crop is still standing in the fields and farmers are struggling in the mud, rain and snow to bring in the crop.
John Mages, a Belgrade-area farmer and secretary of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, said Thursday that 25 percent of his corn crop is still in the field.
His neighbors are in a similar position.
"We are struggling. It's muddy," he said. "The ground thawed out with the rain."
