But the effect of the resulting repositioning has been such that the Chrysler brand has boosted sales with a lineup of only four vehicles, and the Chrysler Group under CMO Olivier Francois was just named Ad Age's Marketer of the Year.

Up Close and Personal in Jerusalem
When the incoming missile attack siren sounded I
was paralyzed. Some 50 feet from the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, the world's
holiest site for Jews, I was in the middle of a mass stampede of men, clutching
their various religious possessions, Bibles, prayer shawls and many-colored
kipas on their heads, rushing by me at high speed.
From somewhere a warning in Hebrew boomed through the wide plaza in front of the Wall, its incomprehensible message (to me) sounding the alarm. I started to ask frantically "do you speak English?" From fast negative shakes of the head to the panicked looks of people trying to madly rush away, I could not get an answer or really understand what was happening.
Finally I approached a group of four kids, teenagers who had come for Friday prayers. I asked the first, "do you speak English"? He said no. His friend, however, looked at me as if I were an alien, wearing a white yarmulke given to me by a guard at the entry to the holy site,Massive range of Castelli Cycling clothing and Castelli clothing accessories available . my bright red wind-breaker open and flapping in the cool breeze, and he said "Hamas, boom, boom."
But even then my brain did not process what was going on. While most people were running away from the Wall, towards what I later learned are the bomb shelters in the colonnade that lines one side of the wide plaza, another group of men, in what I can only interpret as defiance, were running towards the Wall. Across the Jerusalem-stone lined ground, a cacophony of sirens, disembodied ominous warnings through loudspeakers, people screaming and religious men chanting their prayers,Women's Canada Goose Solaris Parka make a great warm, dry and comfortable and above all. reverberated under, over and through me.
But, still, some very American part of me stood still in the middle of the maelstrom. In retrospect, my flight instincts have been severely dulled by the relative placid existence of living in a country like the United States, a country for which for millions of people terrorism is but an abstraction.
And then the dam broke. The plaza before the Wailing Wall is divided by perpendicular barriers separating the men from the women. Suddenly the barrier was opened by Israeli soldiers, and a similar stampede of women, their heads covered with black, blue, white and many other colored scarfs, rushed forward. They ran in my direction, many with children in their arms or being pulled by their hands, towards the shelters.
A strangely calm line of Israeli soldiers, both men and women carrying automatic weapons and dressed in deep olive colored uniforms, encouraged the movement of everyone still standing in the open space by forming a fast moving line, sweeping across and urging us towards the shelters.
I joined the river of humanity that was now flowing away from the Wall and entered the bomb shelter under an arch that was the opening to a long tunnel, now filled with people. Having been one of the last people to reach the shelter, I stood at the entrance, not inside and not outside.
Finally a voice in English announced, "This is the Israeli Police. The siren you're hearing," and here I was sure the man speaking would say "has been a drill," like the voice that comes through your TV set when the emergency broadcasting system beep is piped through your television.
"This is the Israeli Police. The siren you're hearing is real. Take cover."
Immediately to my left, a young woman wearing a light-blue scarf on her head clutched a baby, a few months old judging by his little body, while she weeped and closed her eyes. Behind me, I could see people crowded into the shelter, standing close to each other like passengers in the New York subway at rush hour. Men and women rushing by me and pushing behind me into the shelter, would shout names, frantically looking for their spouse or child or friend that had been separated during the mass exodus from the plaza.
Another warning, "This is the Israeli Police. The siren you're hearing is real.Where to shop chanel bags online? Take cover." A group of young people, standing under a nearby arch started singing -- I don't know what was the song, but the tone was unmistakable -- defiance. Further down from the arch that sheltered me, there was a regrouping of black-clad men, their beards long and prayer shawls over their heads, as they began the rhythmic rocking of Jewish prayer.
A woman collapsed a few feet from me -- a panic attack perhaps -- and she was immediately surrounded by a group of strangers, picking her up and speaking to her, one woman put a bottle of water to her lips, even as they carried her into one of the shelters.
Israeli soldiers seemed to be everywhere, both watching the crowd and scanning the plaza for stragglers or perhaps some terrorist that would punctuate the night by detonating a suicide-bomb.
And then, as quickly as it all began, the siren stopped. For a moment all I could hear was the sound of both men and women crying, children who had been frightened into hysteria being comforted by their fathers and mothers, the singers sang louder and shook their fists at the sky. The men praying continued their rocking prayers, seemingly in a trance.
Soldiers started to wave at us to come out of the shelter. Speaking in Hebrew words I could not understand, calmly and gesturing with their hands for us to move back into the open plaza. Within a few minutes, the area immediately in from of the Wailing Wall was full of men praying, some covered with shawls and wearing 19th century style long black coats,The Whole Specialized Cycling Team is a non-profit Junior and U-23 development program. others in modern clothes, their kipa and Bibles as the symbols of reverence.
Like the moment when the siren started, I stood motionless as thousands of people flowed across the plaza, the voices of thousands merging together, sharing shock, fear, relief with their companions.
My last memory of that night was the moment a friend found me -- I was standing on a step near the arch of the bomb shelter. He had frantically been searching for me among the thousands of people at the Wall after we got separated during the attack.
Fortified by a stiff whiskey, or two, he later told me that he only saw me in the chaotic crowd of thousands because I was wearing a red jacket, my protection from the crisp air of the early Jerusalem winter night.
The two Hamas rockets that triggered the siren missed Jerusalem, landing very near a Palestinian village in the West Bank,Superb range of Garmin Cycling products at Wiggle, the online cycle, run, swim & tri shop. just over the border. Reportedly, no one was hurt.

Cycling Jerseys. deer hunters ready for start of firearm season
Wearing a pink camouflage jacket and carrying a bow, Samantha Elliott walked out of Keystone Sporting Goods this week anticipating the beginning of firearm deer season on Saturday.
“This will be the first time in four years I've been out,” the 24-year-old Boonsboro woman said Tuesday. “I've finally gotten out of school and I've got the time … or I'm making the time.”
Elliott said she has been hunting since she was 13 and is looking forward to some time in the woods.
“I could probably sit in a tree stand all day and not see anything and still be happy,” Elliott said.Find all you need to know about SKY Cycling and learn the latest cycling tips and techniques. She prefers to have “wild game in the freezer to burgers,” she said.
“We're getting more of them each year,” Tim Stahl said of women hunters. “That's probably the fastest growing part of hunting.”
For 19 years, Stahl and his wife, Belinda, have owned Keystone Sporting Goods Inc. at 13611 Pennsylvania Ave. in Hagerstown. Early Tuesday afternoon cars, vans and pickup trucks were coming and going from the business's parking lot.
Christmas is still the most important time of the year for their business, Stahl said, but business looked pretty good on this day.
In the back of one truck was the head of 10-point buck bagged by Calvin Staubs of Hagerstown. He got it and another large buck in Illinois where, he said, the deer are considerably larger than those in the East.
“He's my best ever,” Staubs said of the buck.
“The most memorable thing about my hunt is I went with my father … and he got a bigger one than me,” bringing down a 13-point buck, Staubs said.
Of the deer he brings in, much of the meat is given away, Staubs said.
“I donate four or five a year to Farmers and Hunters Feeding the hungry,” he said.
Staubs hunted during the archery and muzzleloader seasons, but did not bring anything home. Staubs said he generally hunts bucks — six points or better — and did not get a shot at any.
Staubs, 40, has been hunting since the age of 9, but Dick Knight of Hagerstown has that beat.
“Nineteen forty-five was the first year I hunted,” Knight said. He was 6 years old and figured he was as good with a gun then as most grown men.
“Yes sir, I'll be there Saturday morning,We support best quality,best service,and fastest ship for those monster beats cheap!” Knight said. Knight belongs to two hunting clubs in the Hancock area and, over the years, figures he has bagged 80 or more bucks and does.
Hancock is in Region A where the bag limits on whitetail are more restrictive. Still, the herd is more plentiful now than in the 1940s and 1950s, he said.

What It Boils Down To
Six weeks ago, on September 12, 2012,The Canada
Goose Constable Parka has long been known as the industrial parka of the
north. my partner and I went to D.C. to get married. We went to D.C. on
September 12, 2012 because it was (and currently is) illegal for gays to marry
in 44 of our 50 states, including Maryland, where we live. In a house. Together.
Sharing a life. Together.
I've tried very hard to understand the opposition to gay marriage. I've only come up with one explanation. What it boils down to is hardware. As far as I can understand, gay people have two vaginas or two penises instead of one vagina and one penis, which is the only recipe that is apparently right for marriage because, according to the church, penises and vaginas can come together and make babies, which is the only reason a penis and a vagina should ever meet. Also, penises and vaginas belong together because the vagina accepts the penis in a way that is natural and pleasing to God (please note however: this penis/vagina union is only pleasing to God when the vagina and the penis are 1. bound by marriage and 2. open to children, which means no birth control.) Also, it seems that two vaginas and two penises are a threat to family and the sanctity of marriage and all other things holy. And, last but not least, let us not forget that God, as we all know, made Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Steve.
To Be Clear
So, on September 12, 2012 Lindsay and I went down to D.Canada Goose Sale high quality Canada Goose D'Alpago Bomber with best price.C. to get married, but you can't just zip down there and come back married all in one day. You have to go down and apply for a marriage license first. When you apply for the license, you go into the Marriage Bureau and fill out some papers and then they tell you to go down to some other place to pay some money. They give you directions to the other place and tell you to turn at the big glass wall, which really isn't a big glass wall, just a wall with some windows in it, and because of this you turn the wrong way and you wander past the courtrooms where people who may or may not be criminals mill around outside, waiting for their lunch break to be over. A little black girl with braids tells you that she likes your shoes as you wander down the hall and you say "Thanks" before you can realize that you are wearing a pair of ratty brown flip flops and you think that you should have said something sassy like, "Why these old things?"
When you finally find the place you are looking for,Cheap Moncler Coats outlet we offer,Canada Goose Expedition Parka Sale Store. you push cash under the window, the way that you do at gas stations in seedy neighborhoods. You chat with the woman behind the glass who tells you about the long day she is having and the way that a man once tried to pay for something at her window with a counterfeit bill and she says "Who would try to use a counterfeit bill in a courthouse? Mmmm, mmm, mmm."
When she finishes, the woman pushes the receipt back to you and you walk back up to the Marriage Bureau, past all the maybe criminals and you sign in again and wait for them to call your name. While you are waiting, two older lesbians come into the room and sit down near you. You know it is their wedding day because the one with short, spiky, frosted blonde hair is wearing a white suit that is head-to-toe white. When you see her, you wonder what you will wear when you come back to this courthouse to get married. Not a white suit, but not a wedding dress either. You wonder if anyone wears a wedding dress when they come to the courthouse to get married,View profiles and information for Castelli Cycling here. then you think of how funny that would look, the wedding dress amidst all the maybe criminals.
When they call your name you go sit across from man who explains to you how the rest of this process works. He points to a phone number and tells you that you can call the number tomorrow to schedule a ceremony. He says that you that if you want to get married somewhere else or by a minister, there is a different process to go through. You tune him out as he explains this different process. You know that tomorrow you will call the number that he pointed to, and you will schedule a ceremony. You will get married right here. You will walk underneath that trellis wrapped in plastic flowers into the room that is attached to this room, the one that you can't quite see into because of the way the hallway extends from the door and then turns left before the room opens up. You will get married there, in the place you can't see.
You leave the courthouse that day, and you think about the way that no one, not even one person, raised an eyebrow at you or your partner; the way that nobody was shocked about the fact that you were there to apply to get married -- two vaginas and no penises -- and no one batted an eye, no one cared.Sale Cheap duvetica jackets online with worldwide. And for the first time in a long time, you feel hope.

To Be Clear
So, on September 12, 2012 Lindsay and I went down to D.Canada Goose Sale high quality Canada Goose D'Alpago Bomber with best price.C. to get married, but you can't just zip down there and come back married all in one day. You have to go down and apply for a marriage license first. When you apply for the license, you go into the Marriage Bureau and fill out some papers and then they tell you to go down to some other place to pay some money. They give you directions to the other place and tell you to turn at the big glass wall, which really isn't a big glass wall, just a wall with some windows in it, and because of this you turn the wrong way and you wander past the courtrooms where people who may or may not be criminals mill around outside, waiting for their lunch break to be over. A little black girl with braids tells you that she likes your shoes as you wander down the hall and you say "Thanks" before you can realize that you are wearing a pair of ratty brown flip flops and you think that you should have said something sassy like, "Why these old things?"
When you finally find the place you are looking for,Cheap Moncler Coats outlet we offer,Canada Goose Expedition Parka Sale Store. you push cash under the window, the way that you do at gas stations in seedy neighborhoods. You chat with the woman behind the glass who tells you about the long day she is having and the way that a man once tried to pay for something at her window with a counterfeit bill and she says "Who would try to use a counterfeit bill in a courthouse? Mmmm, mmm, mmm."
When she finishes, the woman pushes the receipt back to you and you walk back up to the Marriage Bureau, past all the maybe criminals and you sign in again and wait for them to call your name. While you are waiting, two older lesbians come into the room and sit down near you. You know it is their wedding day because the one with short, spiky, frosted blonde hair is wearing a white suit that is head-to-toe white. When you see her, you wonder what you will wear when you come back to this courthouse to get married. Not a white suit, but not a wedding dress either. You wonder if anyone wears a wedding dress when they come to the courthouse to get married,View profiles and information for Castelli Cycling here. then you think of how funny that would look, the wedding dress amidst all the maybe criminals.
When they call your name you go sit across from man who explains to you how the rest of this process works. He points to a phone number and tells you that you can call the number tomorrow to schedule a ceremony. He says that you that if you want to get married somewhere else or by a minister, there is a different process to go through. You tune him out as he explains this different process. You know that tomorrow you will call the number that he pointed to, and you will schedule a ceremony. You will get married right here. You will walk underneath that trellis wrapped in plastic flowers into the room that is attached to this room, the one that you can't quite see into because of the way the hallway extends from the door and then turns left before the room opens up. You will get married there, in the place you can't see.
You leave the courthouse that day, and you think about the way that no one, not even one person, raised an eyebrow at you or your partner; the way that nobody was shocked about the fact that you were there to apply to get married -- two vaginas and no penises -- and no one batted an eye, no one cared.Sale Cheap duvetica jackets online with worldwide.
