MilfHunter – Bride to be
Veronica arrived in a rush. She was in pre-wedding panic mode. Veronica was so freaked out about the big day, she forgot to wear her clothes. She some how made it from the store through whatever parking lot to our house. Veronica was needing a real good last fuck. She was one special girl. Veronica could fuck, and we mean fuck like nobody's business. Whoever was going to marry this hot MILF was going to have one hell of a time settling her down. She pulled out Levi's cock and gave it an ultimate massage with her face. After giving him an extra slippery blowjob, Levi bent her over the nearest piece of furniture, and her pussy went into ludicrous speed mode. She squirted everywhere multiple times. Veronica was so freaky for the dick. We couldn't begin to image what she was going to do on her honeymoon. We could only hope she wanted more cock before the big day because we wanted to see even more from this bride to be.

bento lunch: Christmas in July
Christmas M&M's. Mmmmmm. I don't know about you, but for ME nothing says "it's Christmas time! The most magical time of the year!" more than seeing those first bags of Christmas M&M's hit the store shelves. My heart rate quickens when I spy my first bag of mint M&M's. Mint M&M's are only available at Christmas time and they are my favorite and my best. Mint M&M's sing to me like Sirens.
My minty chocolatey discovery inspired me to make this Christmas in July themed bento. :)
Packed in a bento box as rosy as Santa's cheeks is a green dish of strawberries and grapes, a Christmas tree sandwich (decorated with cheese star and sprinkles), some SunChips, the tiny green cup in the corner holds sunflower kernels and the pièce de résistance: heart-shaped mini cup lovingly cradling the beloved Christmas colored mint M&M's.
The inner green dish/container is an insert from a Laptop Lunches system. (pssst! You can save 10% on your purchase at LaptopLunches.com by using the coupon code "anotherlunch". !!!)
I hope these last weeks of summer (we go back to school in two weeks!) are leaving you feeling merry and bright. :)
*** Folks today is the last day to get in your votes for Alex and to enter the bento goodie giveaway! I'll be closing comments tonight!

In New Zealand Christmas in July makes sense because it's cold. I just can't wrap my head around it up here in the northern hemisphere. It was fun to hear your super-excitement over the mint M&M's. I don't think I've ever had me a one! Now I'll be looking for them in stores, too :)

Okay, so where do you get the small heart shaped container and the the other small green one with a lid? I've been trying to find some tiny containers for treats, dips, sauces, etc. Been using the silicone muffin pans but need something smaller. Also, can't seem to find the wide fruit leather. Did get some Target brand (Archer Farms) pressed fruit that comes in a roll and looks like ribbon, but it isn't very wide and is very thin and hard to work with the fondant cutters. Suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Marcey! I'm sorry for my delay in responding to your questions!!
The small heart and little green lidded one are from bento shops. The green heart one is from a set of 4 shaped cups that I think I ordered from JList. The lidded one, too (also came as a set of 4), for a few dollars.
The fruit leather I use is not in ribbon rolls - it's in a flat piece about 4.5" long and 1.5" wide and a nice thickness. They come in a smallish box, ten strips to a box. Each box is a different flavor (no variety packs that I've ever seen). They are usually $2.99 a box, but frequently on sale for $2. At the Super Target I shop at they are stocked next to the granola bars. I hope you can find the ones I'm describing - they are really nice and easy to work with!

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 22 (UPI) -- Taj Gibson made 8-of-11 shots from the field Friday and paced a balanced attack that sent Chicago blasting by Charlotte 105-75.
The Bulls bounced back from a one-sided setback at the hands of Miami 24 hours earlier to defeat the team with the fewest number of wins (13) in the NBA.
Chicago held Charlotte to two points through the game's opening 4:30 and was never threatened while shooting 50 percent from the field.
Ten members of the Bulls scored and eight of them reached double figures, led by Gibson's 18 points. Luol Deng added 14.
Charlotte's Kemba Walker led all scorers with 27, but the Bobcats made only a third of their shots and missed 14 free throws.

Fixing A Broken Axleshaft - What Now?
Broken Front Axleshaft On The Trail
Bam! So you are out on the trail in your Jeep having a great day and then things suddenly go sideways. Whether it's a broken U-joint, busted steering linkage, wasted driveshaft, water in your ignition, or any number of other maladies that may befall you, there's usually a way to cobble your Jeep back together so you can make it back to civilization. Welcome to a new series in which we'll detail various scenes of trail breakage, offer tips on assessing and diagnosing the problem, and highlight some solutions to get you rolling again. In this issue, it's the all-too-common busted front axleshaft.
You just got bigger tires and a locker when you lay a little bit too far into the throttle and something popped. Oops! That didn't sound good. Now what to do? Well we have all been there. We all had to start this Jeep addiction…er, hobby somewhere. And while we all might take it to different levels, occasional failures will occur. But if you're prepared for it, breaking on the trail doesn't have to be frightening or cause for ruining your day. So if you hear that pop, clank, grind coming from your front axle, here's what to do.
If You Have Unitbearings
If You Have Locking Hubs
What To Do If Part of the Inner Shaft Is Stuck in the Differential
If the inner shaft broke you may have a hard time getting the remainder of the axle out of the housing. You can use a magnet on a stick, or if you must, you can sometimes get it out with several welding sticks stuck together, stick it down the axletube, and tack weld it to the bit of axle hidden in there (assuming you have a welder).

AG's Civil Rights Forum
Two hundred and twenty five people attended the Civil Rights forum. The event was the third in a series of forums that the Attorney General is doing statewide. The next one is schedule for the city of Rochester.
On August 7, 2007, the Office of New York State Attorney General, Andrew M. Cuomo, held its third Civil Rights forum in Harlem at the Adam Clayton Powell State Building.
The discussion, led by lawyers from the Office of the Attorney General and with an attendance of 225 people, focused on issues of discrimination in housing and employment; predatory lending; as well as consumer's and immigrant's rights.
Regarding immigration services fraud, Harlem residents were informed about how immigration fraud is committed, possible remedies and resources available for victims and commonsense advice for immigrants seeking to avoid scams.
The conversation was followed by a question and answer session where community members got an opportunity to voice their concerns and receive some legal opinions from the OAG representatives.
The entire event was simultaneously translated into Spanish and Sign Language. This initiative is part of the Attorney General's ongoing effort to address the broad range of issues affecting the New York State community.
Sessions have also been held in Syracuse, Buffalo and New York City. The next Civil Rights forum is schedule for the city of Rochester on August 22.

Embry-Riddle (Fla.) Wins the National Championship
By Travis Rae, NAIA Communications and Sports Information Intern
MOBILE, Ala. – (Box Score) (Bracket) Embry-Riddle (Fla.) won its first ever national championship in men's tennis in dramatic fashion as the Eagles defeated Auburn Montgomery (Ala.), 5-4. Deni Zmak won the match for the Eagles as he won his match in a third set tiebreaker, 9-7, to claim the national championship.
"It was a little bit of disbelief and this match (Deni Zmak of Embry-Riddle and Tim Hewitt of Auburn Montgomery) was one of the greatest matches I have been involved with," said Embry-Riddle Head Coach Dave Pashcal said. "They had two match points and it is just amazing that we could come from behind the whole time and claim the national championship."
Auburn Montgomery took an early advantage against Embry-Riddle (Fla.) in doubles action. The Warhawks took 2-of-3 doubles matches against the Eagles. The Warhawks claimed the first point of the match by winning No. 1 doubles, 8-6. They added to their lead by winning No. 3 doubles, 8-4. Embry-Riddle battled back in No. 2 doubles, as Patrick Besch and Anthony Grasso, won the only doubles match for Embry-Riddle, 9-7.
After doubles, Auburn Montgomery held a 2-1 lead over Embry-Riddle.
Embry-Riddle started battling back in singles action as Simon Felix defeated Zinelabidine Jouini, 6-2, 6-1, to get the Eagles back to even in the match. However, the lead did not last long for the Eagles as No. 6 singles finished up shortly after. Auburn Montgomery's Othmane Lalami won No. 6 singles, 6-4, 6-1, to take a 3-2 lead.
The Eagles bounced back to tie the match at 3-3, when Chris Freeman claimed the No. 3 singles 6-2, 6-3. The match did not stay tied for very long as Nicolas Pinones-Haltenhoff claimed No. 1 singles, 7-5, 6-1 over Patrick Besch to put the Warhawks back on top, 4-3.
Nos. 2 and 4 singles were a battle to the end as both matches went to the third set. In No. 4 singles Anthony Grasso of Embry-Riddle was faced up against Miguel Grifol of Auburn Montgomery. Grifol took set one 6-4. Grasso rebounded nicely to win the second and third set by scores of 6-4. This evened the match at 4-4.
With the match tied at four the national championship came down to one match, No. 2 singles featuring Embry-Riddle's Deni Zmak and Auburn Montgomery's Tim Hewitt. Zmak won the first set, 6-4, while Hewitt responded by claiming set two, 6-4. The third set was as contested as it could be. Auburn Montgomery had match point but Zmak fought back. The third set ended up going to a tiebreaker.
In the tiebreaker, Zmak raced out to a 4-2 lead but Hewitt was not going away easy as he battled back to take a 7-6 lead. The two traded leads until it was tied at 7-7. With the next point, Zmak pulled ahead. With Zmak ahead 8-7, Zmak and Hewitt started a rally that ended with Hewitt sending the ball into the net to end the match and Embry-Riddle claiming its first national championship in men's tennis.
Embry-Riddle concluded their season by winning 18-straight matches. After the match Dave Pascal was named 2013 NAIA Coach of the Year, while Demi Zmak won the Ward-Ballinger Award.

Arrest made in rape of woman on LA County bus
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- For 10 agonizing minutes, an 18-year-old mentally disabled woman was raped in the back of a Los Angeles County bus at rush hour as it rolled past a state park, shopping mall and cemetery while no one on board did anything to stop it.
Surveillance video shot on the bus showed the attack and helped deputies nab a suspect, but it also showed that the driver and all but one of the few passengers aboard didn't seem to notice what was going on.
"The victim told our detective that she was shocked and didn't know what to do and was in fear for her safety and for her life," said Sgt. Dan Scott of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The one passenger who appeared to try to get the driver's attention in the video left the bus without saying anything and police were still trying to track him down.
Kerry Trotter, 20, was arrested thanks to an anonymous tip by someone who saw an image from the surveillance camera that was publicly released.
Trotter was booked for investigation of rape and was being held on $1 million bail, authorities said. It wasn't immediately known if he had retained an attorney.
Given that Trotter was standing up with his back to the driver and the victim was sitting down, other passengers may not have known a rape occurred, Scott said.
"People generally think of a rape as some type of an attack where someone is thrown down. It is not always the case," Scott said. It "seems reasonable that they would not know what was going on."
The attack occurred Wednesday shortly after 5 p.m. as the woman, who was returning from school, boarded the bus at a stop in suburban Culver City and was followed to the back by her attacker.
There were only four or five passengers during the five-mile leg when the crime occurred and by the end there was only one remaining, who tried to get the driver's attention. It's unclear what the driver saw.
The victim, who has the mental capacity of a 10-year-old, did not scream for help, but she told the driver she had been raped after the assailant exited the bus, Scott said.
Trotter, who is unemployed, has previous convictions for grand theft and possession of rock cocaine, according to court records. He was previously investigated for sexual assault, but no charges were ever filed, Scott said.
Trotter and his victim do not know one another. Authorities wouldn't say if DNA evidence had been recovered.
"We believe it was a crime of opportunity, that unfortunately she was in the wrong place at the wrong time," Scott said.
It was the third rape so far this year on county buses that annually carry millions of people.
Bus drivers are trained to call transit dispatchers when they become aware of a possible crime, said Marc Littman, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. If a crime is in progress, there is a silent alarm on board that can be tripped.
"This is an extremely rare occurrence," he said.
It was unclear if the driver saw what transpired. He was being interviewed by authorities.
"We don't believe anybody else did anything wrong," Scott said.

>>>full Division II poll
>>>GolfStat Live Stats
BLAINE, Wash. - Maintaining the No. 2 slot in the nation for the third Nike Golf/Golf World NCAA Division II Poll, the Georgia College & State University linksters and head coach Jimmy Wilson begin play at the NCAA Finals tomorrow (May 18). Twenty Division II teams converge on the Loomis Trail Golf Club, vying to be the nation's best.
The Bobcats took fourth overall in 2008, and return four of the five starters from last year's squad. The fifth, junior Pedro C. Lima (Sao Paulo, Brazil) fired a final-round 69 at the NCAA Southeast/South SuperRegional last time out. Lima took sixth overall, earning GCSU Athlete of the Week status.
Lima has a 73.2 stroke average and four top-10s in 10 starts. His average is third behind a pair of All-Americans, including junior Niclas Johansson (Skanor, Sweden). The 2008 NCAA Regional Medalist and two-time All-American owns a 72.3 average and has been out of the top-20 just twice this season, carding six top-10 finishes.
Sophomore Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.), an All-American in 2008, is second on the team with a 72.9 average, finishing in the top-10 three times among his six top-20s.
Junior Francisco Bide (Buenos Aires, Argentina) won the ultra-competitive Bobcat Invitational, besting some of the nation's top golfers. He also posted a 69 in the final round of the regional, helping the Bobcats leap to fifth place, qualifying for these finals. His average is an even 74, with four top-20s in 11 tries.
Sophomore Billy Shida (Berkeley Lake, Ga.) owns a 74.5 stroke average and five top-20s. He led the charge in the first round of the regional, posting a three-under 69.
This marks the eighth time the Bobcats have made the NCAA Finals, including each of the last three seasons. GCSU took a school-best finish a year ago at fourth.
The Bobcats take to the links tomorrow, May 19 with Bide teeing off first at 8:20 a.m. Bobcat fans can follow the action with live statistics at www.GolfStat.com .

This piece of jewellery struck a chord with her creative side and she knew that she had to begin designing women's jewellery. A great source of inspiration for her at this turning point in her life was also her Grandma Lola - 'She was so glamorous and stylish – I adored her.' Three months later, Nikki's first piece of jewellery came into being – a single tumble-stone bracelet, which became the foundation of her own brand, Lola Rose.
Lola Rose is about fabulous, timeless pieces, for every moment in our lives; little pieces of everyday luxury for every woman. Each piece is designed in our London studio, and is created from handpicked materials. From a range of semi precious gemstones and diamonds nestled in gold and rhodium plated sterling silver jewellery to the gemstones that are at the heart of the brand, Lola Rose pieces are treasured forever. They are loved and worn by thousands of mothers, daughters and grandmothers, from all walks of life. Not to mention glamorous red carpet appearances and celebrity endorsements – from the Duchess of Cambridge to Sarah Jessica Parker and Halle Berry, some of the world's most gorgeous women are regularly pictured wearing Lola Rose.

text: There's no definition for the word "worthless" in the Hammacher Schlemmer dictionary; these Fingertip Piano Gloves are "ingenious," a portable subway piano concerto waiting to happen. Each glove plays an entire octave in the key of C, and the final three notes in the scale are achieved by pressing down on the palm. The gloves connect to a wire that connects to a speaker, which allows the whole family to enjoy. They ship on October 17 for $70, but the epic symphonies your little one will make using these five-fingered feats of engineering will be priceless. Or not. Ever strangle someone in the key of C before? [Hammacher Schlemmer]

Club lawyers give to candidates who may work on Treasures suit
Four people associated with the strip club Treasures have contributed a combined $48,700 to the Republican challengers for Harris County Attorney and a civil district judgeship - men who would, if elected, oversee an ongoing lawsuit against Treasures.
County Attorney challenger Robert Talton reported in a campaign filing Monday that he got $15,900 from Casey Wallace, $6,000 from Ronald Monshaugen and $5,000 from Al Van Huff, all attorneys representing Treasures, as well as $7,000 from Ronnie Bird, the club's longtime head of corporate security. The same foursome gave a combined $14,800 to judicial candidate Bud Wiesedeppe, who is seeking the bench in the 164th Civil District Court, where the Treasures case is being heard.
City of Houston and county attorneys sued Treasurers last May, labeling the club "an epicenter of illegal activity" and seeking to shut it down for a year. The club says it is being retaliated against for challenging the city's sexually-oriented business ordinance. Trial is set for Dec. 10.
Lauren Serper, an attorney for other adult cabarets in the county, also contributed $3,000 to Talton and $2,000 to Wiesedeppe, records show. Serper gave input as the county strengthened its rules on sexually oriented businesses, rules which passed unanimously at Commissioners Court last month.
The five donors' cash comprised 42 percent of Talton's total contributions during the Sept. 28-Oct. 27 filing period, and half of Wiesedeppe's.
The donations suggest an apparent full-court press by the industry after it was revealed earlier this week that a $25,000 donation by the owner of Treasures ended up in the campaign coffers of sheriff candidate Louis Guthrie after passing through the Harris County Deputies Organization.
Talton said he was aware Wallace represented Treasures, but did not know who the other lawyers represented. He said his donors' affiliations make no difference to him, and said his opponent, incumbent Vince Ryan, has given work to firms that contribute to him.
"I have a pretty good reputation of doing what's right," Talton said. "If they're violating the law, they get prosecuted, just like anybody else. I'm not for sale."
'A clear pattern'
Ryan said the contributors to whom he's given work are national firms who donate to scores of candidates. Ryan questioned Talton's claim that he knew only of Wallace's affiliation with Treasures, saying Talton attended an early hearing in the case at which Van Huff was present.
"I've been around politics now since 1981. I'm trying to remember a circumstance that is so blatant as this," Ryan said. "There's a clear pattern of their desire to change the county attorney and change the judge hearing the case. One can only draw their own conclusions as to why that is, but it doesn't appear to be in the interest of good government."
Lawyers typically are the chief donors for judicial candidates. There is nothing underhanded or unusual, Wiesedeppe said, about attorneys with cases in a judge's court supporting her or her opponent.
"It is those attorneys who have experience with those judges and can decide whether or not they think those judges are doing a good job," he said. "There's lots of attorneys who have donated to my campaign. Some of those probably have cases in (incumbent Alexandra Smoots-Hogan's) court, some of them don't, but I certainly don't think any of them are planning to get favorable rulings because they contribute to me."
Wallace said his contributions are not intended to influence the Treasures case or any other future enforcement action, saying he simply supports Talton.
"There's absolutely nothing wrong with any contribution I've ever made. There's no connection between my contributions and any client I've ever represented. I just want what's best for Harris County," Wallace said.
'On my own accord'
Texas Ethics Commission records show that, of the four donor lawyers, Serper was the only one who donated to a state district judicial candidate other than Wiesedeppe this year, giving $100 to Steven Kirkland.
Bird said he made his contributions because he is a Republican who does not support Smoots-Hogan or Ryan, whom he said selectively enforces the law against Treasures.
"My contributions were done on my own accord," he said.
Calls to the law firm Monshaugen and Van Huff share, and to Serper's office, were not returned.
Commissioner Jack Cagle, who led the charge for the county's new sexually oriented business regulations, said Talton assured him in a Thursday night phone call that he is committed to enforcement.
"There may be a statement that's being made by some individuals that if you get involved in trying to clean up your streets that someone out there may choose to start making contributions to your opponents," Cagle said. "Once that occurs, though, there's no assurance that the opponent is going to agree with their position."
It's their right
Houston political analyst Robert Miller said lawyers, and others, have a right to make political contributions.
"That is our system, and our system of regulation is simply to disclose those contributions," Miller said. "It's clear that they want to elect (Talton), and voters would have to draw their own inferences as to why that is. Just because they want to elect him does not mean he would necessarily be favorable to them."

Following gaucho tradition, two male dancers paired to tango
In gaucho tradition, 2 male dancers pair to perform
From the "scandalous" dances of Buenos Aires' waterfront bars to high-society Paris salons, the tango has for decades mesmerized audiences and "seduced" participants.
And for decades, it was not uncommon for a tango couple -- both the "leader and follower" -- to be male.
"The Argentine tango was brought into existence nearly 150 years ago on the plains of Argentina by gauchos (cattle wranglers, akin to cowboys) who entertained themselves in the evening inventing dance moves around their campfires," according to Robert Beslove, a Bridgeport-based producer of ballroom dance events.
"And there is no greater team of dancers in the world who have captured the spirit of these `gauchos' than Walter Perez and Leonardo Sardella," who divide there time between homes in their native Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Manhattan, Beslove said.
"I saw them perform during a practice session in Manhattan three years ago and they were incredible. Audiences seem to agree with me because Perez and Sardella (who are partners in their professional and personal lives) continually dance to sold-out audiences throughout the world. Not only have they captured the culture of the Argentine tango, but dance it with the manly power of the gauchos who originated it."
Beslove is bringing the duo to Bridgeport for a performance on Saturday, March 29, at Holy Trinity Greek Church.
More Information
If you go
Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 4070 Park Ave., Bridgeport. Saturday, March 29, 7 p.m. to midnight; show at 9:30. $17; snacks included. Reservations suggested. Call 203-374-7308.
In a telephone conversation from their Manhattan apartment, Perez said that he came to tango rather late, at age 21, in 1993, soon after both his parents died and he became responsible for four younger siblings.
"I turned to tango for therapy, a reason to get out of the house and to deal with my depression. I found the music to be nostalgic and melancholic; it seduced me and I came to love the music and the dance," Perez said. "There were older folks at the milongas (public tango parties) and they took me under their wing; that helped a lot with my motivation."
Sardella, who is 28 and sports a beard, said his introduction came at age 8, when his family sent him to dance school, "where we learned many folk dances," he said.
He spent his youth dancing in competitions and making a name for himself; by 18 he was a professional dancer, entertaining at dinner shows, he said.
"For me, it was a way to connect with my grandfather's generation. As you know, there was a lost tango generation in Argentina," when the music and dance were frowned upon by the ruling party (roughly from 1955 to 1983). "My parents were not involved with tango, but I wanted to reconnect," Sardella said.
Sardella said he initially approached dance "like a sport," which demands strength, agility, balance, self-control and discipline.
"And then I fell in love with it, and now it is impossible to give up," Sardella said, laughing.
The couple began dancing together about three years ago, after meeting at an International Queer Tango Festival, which are presented around the world, Perez said. (They are planning on attending the 2014 event in July in Berlin.) The festivals are open to same-sex couples of both genders.
"It's a relatively new movement, but it is growing," Perez said, adding that participants believe that "lead is not determined by gender." Before the movement, gay couples were quite rare, although the practice of male siblings dancing together has been encouraged, Perez said. Anything that can help tango grow and prosper is positive, he said.
"Tango is more than just a dance to us; it is our lives," Perez said. "We teach and perform around the world for everyone and find that it is especially therapeutic for those with Parkinson's disease, Down syndrome, Alzheimer's and for those who might be socially awkward.
"In the end, you learn to trust your body and learn to convey all different types of emotion through tango," he said.
And that's what they'll be doing Saturday night. The pair will be featured in four solo tango settings: comedic, dramatic, modern and traditional. The evening will close with a segment in which the couple will invite the public to join them on the dance floor.

Louis As to who has the best, I can't say. They all taste the same to me. But a pie expert like Buffetbuster can discern the differences. A few years ago, when making his year end "best" choices, he thought the chess pie at the Bon Ton Mini Mart in Henderson, KY was the maybe the best pie he ate that year. That was a surprise to me; to my way of thinking, it was just another chess pie.
CajunKing Another of the drunken cousins would be the vinegar pie. Which is another southern staple. Vinegar pies were made when lemon juice was not available. All four of these pies are delicious and easy to make.

Internet Explorer 10: Using Search Engines to Find Things
To help you find what you're looking for on the Internet, use Internet Explorer 10 (IE10), which comes on the Windows 8 desktop. IE 10 is a search engine — a service that contains a vast index of Internet sites. Previous versions of Internet Explorer offered a Search box, a special place along the top to type in a few words about what you're seeking.
Both versions of Internet Explorer in Windows 8 remove the Search box. Instead, type your search term — exotic orchids, for example — directly into the Address Bar and press Enter. Internet Explorer fires your search off to Bing, Microsoft's own search engine, and spits out websites dealing in exotic orchids.
Don't like Bing handling your search needs? You can change that search engine to Google or any other search engine you like.
Follow these steps to customize Internet Explorer's searches to your liking:
1Click the Tools icon, which looks like a little gear in Internet Explorer's top-right corner.
A drop-down menu appears.
2Choose Manage Add-ons, choose Search Providers from the Add-On Types section, and choose Find More Search Providers from the page's bottom-left corner.
Internet Explorer visits Microsoft's website and lists a few dozen search engines.
3Click your favorite search engine and click the Add to Internet Explorer button.
A dialog box opens, asking whether you want to add that search provider.
If you want your searches to all go to one search engine — Google, for example — select the check box labeled Make This My Default Search Provider before you go to Step 4. That option tells Internet Explorer to automatically send all your searches to that provider.
4Click the Add button.
Internet Explorer replaces Bing with your newly selected search provider. Changing the search engine in the desktop version of Internet Explorer also applies the change the Start screen's version of Internet Explorer.

The Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission has ruled that the Newtown Police Department must release 911 tapes from the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The Associated Press challenged the refusal by investigators to release the tapes from the Dec. 14 shooting. A hearing officer for Connecticut's Freedom of Information Commission recommended that the tapes be released, but the full commission made the decision late Wednesday afternoon.
Newtown police officials refused to turn over the tapes under a new Connecticut law that prohibits the release of some information in homicide cases.
The hearing officer noted the new law, adopted in response to the massacre, does not shield 911 calls.
But the prosecutor leading the investigation has argued that certain content of 911 calls could be protected under the law.
Investigators plan on appealing the decision, so the tapes will most likely not be released anytime soon.

Marco Rubio: No Bailouts for ObamaCare
The health-care law's 'risk corridors' could result in a huge taxpayer burden.
With every passing day, ObamaCare's flaws are being exposed in painful ways for the American people. What started as a broken website—and nonexistent Spanish one—is now snowballing into a full-scale disaster that makes it increasingly clear this law can't be fixed.
Under ObamaCare, people are being recklessly exposed to identity theft and fraud through the dysfunctional website and navigator network.

SolidFire, a cloud-computing storage company that moved to Boulder from the Atlanta area in May to tap talent from the data-storage industry, has raised $25 million in a second funding round.
It brings to $37 million the amount of venture capital that SolidFire, launched less than two years ago, has raised this year. The new investment comes from New Enterprise Associates, Valhalla Partners, Novak Biddle and several individual investors from the data-storage industry.
SolidFire is founder Dave Wright's third startup. In 2008 he sold his previous company, Jungle Disk, to Rackspace. He assembled SolidFire's team from Boulder's LeftHand Networks (now part of HP) and other storage companies.

Jews in Mexico find it a place to thrive and serve
MEXICO CITY — On the evening of the festive Jewish holiday of Purim, the rabbi's wife, Sheila Slomianski, was ever the alert hostess. Surveying her table, she noticed some empty plates in front of her guests and summoned her daughters, Fayge and Miriam, to pile them high with tacos and tachina sauce, with grilled cactus and spicy rice.
"They're American," Slomianski said with a shrug. "They don't know any better."
The Slomianskis are part of Mexico City's 50,000-strong Jewish community, the third largest in Latin America. They're thriving, diverse and multinational, but also close-knit and unusually self-sufficient when it comes to education and social programs.
"We're involved in politics, we're involved in business, we're involved in cultural activities and academia, so the Jewish community is involved in everything," said Mauricio Lulka, the executive director of the Central Committee of the Jewish Community in Mexico.
Yet this is also a community that, Lulka said, has the lowest rate of intermarriage in the world, and where 90 percent of the children attend religious day school. Some also see an increasing polarity between the more observant and the more secular members of the community: A teenage girl might ask her parents to arrange a marriage for her, to the consternation of an older generation that had hoped she'd choose her own mate and have a career.
Jews are hardly new arrivals to Mexico. Fleeing the Inquisition in Spain, Jews were said to have been among the first Europeans who arrived with Hernan Cortes and the conquistadors in the 16th century. They didn't find the religious freedom they were looking for in the New World, and were forced to practice their faith in secrecy until Mexico's independence from Spain in 1820.
"When they knew about the new lands that were discovered in America, they decided to come here and find their freedom. It was a tragedy, because they could not find their freedom," said Monika Unikel, an expert on the history of Jews in Mexico City.
As the country became more tolerant, however, and as Jews began fleeing persecution in Europe during the two world wars, Mexico was among the places they came, often in hopes of getting visas to the United States. The first to come were Sephardic Jews from countries such as Turkey and Greece, and then the rise of the Nazis in Germany brought Ashkenazi Jews from Western and Central Europe.
"All of them wanted to get to the United States; that was America. That was the magic world," Unikel said. "But there came a time when the United States closed the doors for new immigrants, so Mexico became a new option."
The result is a Mexican Jewish community that's something of a melting pot.
It includes Pearl Tabatchnik, a guest at the Slomianski party, whose Polish parents fled the Holocaust. She was born in Mexico, as were her children and grandson, and Tabatchnik said she felt at home here.
"I feel a lot of gratitude toward Mexico," she said. "I was born here, and they treat us very well."
It also includes Esther Schmidt, who was born in Mexico to a Hungarian mother and a Mexican-born father from a Polish background, and Sal Levy, a new arrival from Israel.
Rabbi Sergio Slomianski, Sheila's husband and the leader of the Ashkenazi community here, was born in Mexico but studied in Israel and the U.S., where he met his Chicago-born wife.
He said that compared with other Jewish communities he'd seen, the Mexican community was unusual in its desire to help others, especially other Jews.
"If people are sick or need money to buy clothes or housing, the community is very oriented toward helping those needy people," he said.
On a recent quiet Sunday afternoon, when millions of Mexico City residents were taking a grateful break from the traffic, congestion and pollution of their unruly metropolis, the narrow street outside the Kosher Palace market in the Polanco neighborhood was bustling as men with dark beards and black hats waited in double- and triple-parked cars while their wives shopped for the Purim holiday.
Marcos Nacach, the owner of the Kosher Palace, is among many who have no trouble identifying themselves as both Mexican and Jewish.
As Manischewitz wine and Mishlach Manot, or traditional Purim baskets, flew off the shelves, Nacach said, "The Jewish religion is a way of life, but we live here, we pay taxes here and we are involved with politics here."
Lulka said, however, that despite Jews' involvement in every aspect of Mexican life, they weren't looking to assimilate with the Roman Catholic majority.
Lulka said that Mexico City's Jews offered many social programs ranging from welfare and anti-drug campaigns to disability aid and social activities.
This even extends to health care services, as there's a separate blood bank, donated by Jews for Jews. Lulka said that this was for no specific health advantage except to decrease the waiting time for transfusions. Despite these programs, Lulka said that the community wasn't isolated from the rest of the country.
If anything, some members of the community fear the opposite.
"There is an increasing polarity in religiousness within the Jewish community," said Renee Dayan-Shabot, the director of Tribuna Israelita, a research center affiliated with the Central Committee of the Jewish Community in Mexico.
Sheila Slomianski can see it in her own children as they've become more conservative, more observant and more traditional.
She told of her surprise when her eldest daughter, who's 17 and studying in Denver, asked to have a marriage arranged for her when she returned home, as most of the friends she went away to study with have.
Slomianski and her husband hope that their daughters become the exceptions to the rule through travel and other experiences, and pursue careers of their own. That's why they debate where they see their children settling.
"In some ways I would prefer them to be in Mexico closer to us," Sergio Slomianski said. "But on the other hand, we're happy they are able to grow and learn and to be exposed to other people and other ways of thinking."

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The New Jersey chapter of the Independent Electrical Contractors Inc. (IEC) recently bestowed Lifetime Achievement Awards upon Eugene Mini of the Morris County Association of Electrical Contractors, Fred Hiemer of the Bergen County Electrical Contractors' Association and Michael Merola of the Union County Electrical Contractors' Association.
"Lifetime Achievement Awards are given to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the electrical contracting industry in New Jersey," said Steve Ripley, IEC New Jersey Executive Director. "We don't typically distribute more than one Lifetime Achievement Award each year, but this year, we had to make an exception because these hard-working guys are model contractors and exemplify what the Lifetime Achievement Award is all about."
Lifetime Achievement Award winner and IEC National Senior Vice President Eugene Mini is a two-time Past President and long-time member of the NJECA.
"It meant very much to me to receive an award from my peers," Mini said. "I enjoy the work that I do, and it feels good to be honored for doing something that I like to do anyway."
Lifetime Achievement Award winner Fred Hiemer was a prime mover in creating the Bergen County Electrical Contractors' Association (BCECA), the New Jersey Electrical Contractors' Association (NJECA) and the New Jersey Electrical Contractors' Licensing Act nearly 47 years ago. In 1962, Hiemer established his own electrical-contracting business, Hiemer Electric in Tenafly, N.J.
Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Merola obtained his electrical license in the mid-1970s. He was elected UCECA President in 1984/1985. Merola became active in NJECA in the early 1980s, was elected to their Executive Committee in 1985 and designated NJECA President in 1989.

Classle is a cloud-based social learning platform that allows students to connect with other students as well as experts and professionals from academic, research institutes and industry. The goal of the company's platform is to assist students pursuing higher education learn and develop skills in a manner unencumbered by socio-economic, location and resource barriers. Classle, a social enterprise, is currently focusing on rural regions of India where students struggle with resource limitations.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been the foundation of Classle's infrastructure since the company's inception. Vaidya Nathan, Founder and CEO-Classle, explains that AWS allowed the company to begin operations six months ahead of schedule and more economically than had been anticipated. Classle is also impressed with the growing list of additional services offered by AWS, which the company has embraced to help further its own expansion.
Vaidya Nathan says, "The flexibility, reliability, and elasticity were the reasons for the initial decision to use AWS. Over the past two years, other services coming from AWS like Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), Amazon CloudFront, Amazon CloudWatch, Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon Route 53 confirm that the decision was the right one. As a startup, we have to worry about balancing scalability with cash preservation, and we get the best of both worlds with AWS. We see AWS as a strategic fit for our long-term business strategy."
Classle uses Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), with the Amazon Elastic Load Balancing (Amazon ELB), Auto Scaling, and Amazon Elastic Block Storage (Amazon EBS) features, to handle its application and analytics server needs. Amazon RDS acts as Classle's data warehouse and transactional database.
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), with the Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) feature, serves the dual function of providing Classle's content downloads and acting as an origin server for Amazon CloudFront. The company has established Amazon's content delivery service Amazon CloudFront as an edge server for streaming files and delivering the learning platform's most requested video downloads. Classle indicates that the origin and edge server relationship the company has created between Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront has allowed it to reduce its Webpage load times by 180 percent and reduce its total costs by eight percent and in the case of video streaming, it brought the time-to-market down to 2 days.
The company monitors its AWS infrastructure with Amazon CloudWatch and uses Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to delivery system load alerts to its developers. Additionally, Classle routes its users to its websites with Amazon's Domain Name System (DNS) service, Amazon Route 53.
Figure 1 below demonstrates how Classle is utilizing Amazon Web Services.
Based on its success in India, Classle plans to eventually expand its social learning platform to the worldwide market. In the more immediate future, the company is planning a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering of its platform, in addition to the Website-based version. As Classle works toward these new goals, it will be looking to incorporate additional services from AWS, such as Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) and AWS CloudFormation, which assists developers in combining AWS resources within the company's infrastructure.
Vaidya Nathan says, "Adopting AWS has given our company a competitive advantage, both at tactical as well as strategic levels. Thanks to AWS, we are effectively competing with some large and strong players in the e-learning space. Adopting AWS has let us keep our focus on the business and assume that the infrastructure will be available to match the velocity and growth."

This is a guest post from Sammy The Walrus IV, a frequent commenter at Business Insider, and a sharp tweeter on all things Apple. It was originally published on his site, AAPL Orchard, and is republished with permission. We'll have our own earnings preview tomorrow.
Revenue: $41.1 billion (AAPL guidance: $41-43 billion/Consensus: $42.5 billion)
- I expect Apple's revenue to increase 5% year-over-year.
GM: 38.1% (AAPL guidance: 37.5-38.5%/Consensus: 38.5%)
- Apple continues to feel margin pressure from its current product lineup. Management's margin guidance is approximately 940 basis points less than the 47.4% margin reported in 2Q12.
EPS: $9.55 (Consensus: $10.07)
- I expect Apple to report a 22% yoy EPS decline. My $9.55 estimate is less than the Street's $10.07 average.
Product Unit Sales and Commentary
Macs: 3.7 million (8% yoy decline)
- Mac sales continue to slow as tablets and smartphones satisfy many consumers' computing needs. I assume declines in both desktops and portables.
iPad: 15.5 million (31% yoy growth)
- I expect Apple to report solid iPad sales for 2Q13. My iPad estimate assumes approximately 8-10 million iPad mini sales and approximately 1-2 million units added to channel inventory in order to meet management's target range.
iPod: 6.1 million (20% yoy decline)
iPhone: 36.5 million (4% yoy growth)
- With iPhone channel inventory already within management's target range, I expect Apple to report a significant slowdown in iPhone unit growth (30-90% unit growth over the past four quarters vs. 4% in 2Q13) as the smartphone market matures. Verizon activated 4 million iPhones in 2Q13 and if Verizon represents a similar share of total iPhone sales during the quarter, my 36.5 million unit estimate may be too optimistic on the order of 20%. If iPhone sales are trending closer to 30 million units, I think Apple may resort to stuffing the channel by at least 1-2 million units, resulting in a bear case of approximately 31-32 million iPhones (resulting in EPS around $8.60).
Unless earnings estimates come down drastically in the coming days, I expect Apple to miss consensus EPS on Tuesday.
In terms of 3Q13 guidance, I am expecting revenues of approximately $30-32 billion and 38-39% margins (which would equate to EPS of approximately $6.20-$6.40, or a 30% decline from 2012). The prospect of no new product launches until CY3Q13 (i.e. after June 30) will pressure iPad and iPhone sales.
Apple is currently in somewhat of a financial funk as the company battles Wall Street's expectations game. The high-end smartphone market is becoming saturated, while the booming success of the tablet market is resulting in difficult yoy unit sale numbers. Heading into 1Q13 earnings, I thought the market was already expecting bad news, including weak guidance. I was wrong. Heading into 2Q13 earnings, consensus is for an EPS decline, but I am not convinced the Street is being realistic with 3Q13 and 4Q13 expectations as consensus numbers still look aggressive.
Quick Note on Capital Management
Some observers are predicting Apple management may try to shift attention away from weak guidance on Tuesday by announcing its latest thoughts on capital management. While anything is possible, I'm not convinced of that tactic's effectiveness. Instead, Apple may be better suited to let the dust settle from the current earnings cycle before acting on its updated capital plan. At the current trajectory, Apple may be in a position to announce a multi-year share buyback authorization representing up to 20% of outstanding shares. More importantly, management will probably have to address its $94 billion of offshore cash as Apple has "only" $43 billion of cash currently available for capital management. A growing number of industry observers think raising debt is part of Apple's solution to its offshore cash "problem". While there may be financial merit in raising debt in the current environment, such an action would mark a significant new chapter in Apple's history.

Cruise lines can be grouped into three distinct categories: luxury, premium and contemporary. Like contemporary cruise lines, the premium lines – such as Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, Oceania Cruises and Princess Cruises – offer a wide range of activities on board, from shopping and friendly contests to pool parties and dancing. But, a premium cruise line typically provides more upscale accommodations, amenities and service.
Premium cruise line ships tend to be smaller than those of the contemporary lines, generally accommodating 500 to 1,500 guests, though some are larger. Staterooms, on the other hand, tend to be more spacious, with higher-quality furnishings. Many premium ships have a high percentage of staterooms with private balconies. Dining is a step closer to gourmet, and entertainment is more sophisticated. Children are welcome, although special programming and facilities for kids probably won't be as extensive as on a contemporary ship, and may be absent altogether.
Celebrity Cruises lives up to its name by treating guests like celebrities, presenting them with a mimosa or a glass of sparkling wine when they step on board. Celebrity earned headlines in 2008 with the launch of the Celebrity Solstice: its well-designed staterooms received rave reviews, as did its innovative Lawn Club, a half-acre of real, growing grass for perfect for bocce ball or a lazy picnic. Since then, Celebrity has added more ships to the Solstice class and has "Solsticized" many of its other ships.
Holland America Line maintains some charming traditions on its ships, including afternoon tea; ballroom dancing (gentleman hosts are available on cruises 10 days or more to dance with ladies who are sailing solo); and an elegant ringing of chimes to announce dinner. You'll also find onboard tennis courts, eclectic shipboard art collections, and – on warm-weather sailings – a frosty glass of lemonade presented to you just when you are most thirsty. Holland America Line ships are also known for their Culinary Arts Centers, where you can watch and learn from experienced chefs.
The ships of Oceania Cruises combine sophisticated surroundings with a warm, casual vibe: a "do what you want, when you want" feeling. One thing you'll want to do is sample the restaurants on board, including Toscana, which features fresh Tuscan cuisine; steaks, chops and seafood at the Polo Grill; and Waves, an open-air bistro. There's also the Grand Dining Room, where six courses are served at dinner. Note that Oceania is happy to have children on board, but does not offer children's programming.
It's difficult to generalize about Princess Cruises, which has a large fleet of beautiful ships in a variety of sizes and styles. One of this line's recent innovations is Movies Under the Stars, featuring nightly movies on giant LED screens above the main pools. The Chef's Table program gives passengers the opportunity to observe dinner preparations in the galley while munching on hors d'oeuvres, then sitting at the chef's table for a multi-course tasting menu. Princess is also known for organizing memorable weddings for its guests.
In addition, Cunard Line offers a combination of premium and luxury cruise experiences. Standard staterooms are premium-level, with services and dining options to match. Guests who book Cunard's suite accommodations, however, sleep and dine in luxurious elegance that recalls the Golden Age of cruising.
To explore your options for enjoying the comfort and fun of a premium-class cruise, talk with your Cruise Holidays personal cruise expert.
