Angel Food Ministries is a nationwide program based out of Georgia that is designed to provide high quality food at lower-than-retail prices.
Using the buying power of volume, Angel Food Ministries purchases food at deep discounts, then passes that savings onto its clients.
Each month the ministry offers a new menu of items in what it calls its signature box. Designed to feed a family of four for a week, the box of food costs $30. There are also senior boxes for $28 and allergen-free boxes for $25. In additions to the signature boxes, clients can choose from a variety of special boxes each month. For example, the June menu featured a meat grill box, which included steaks, chops, ribs and bratwurst for $23.

Bing - Microsoft unveils its new Internet search engine
Microsoft unveiled a new search engine named Bing, the rebranded and rebuilt search engine formerly code-named Kumo, designed to replace Live Search. Microsoft is renewing its efforts to challenge the dominance of Google in the Internet search market.
Bing will be fully deployed worldwide June 3. The new search engine or 'decision engine' as it is termed, is targeted initially to focus on shopping, travel, local business and information, and health-related research and help people make informed decisions in this area. It might help Microsoft gain share in the search business.
Bing will be Microsoft's new default search. Bing uses technology from Powerset (a search technology company Microsoft acquired) to display refined versions of your query down the left side of the page.
Bing also pop ups an excerpt of the text on a search result if you hover over it. This saves a lot of time if you're not quite sure if you want to follow a result. Bing also does very well in video search results. Bing's presentation is excellent when compared to other search engines.
