7-30-15 update: Open Taste is expanding offerings with seafood, dairy, and other items. The delivery windows appear to be different based on the area you live in, in our area they can deliver in a two hour window.
11am – 1pm, 1pm – 3pm, 3pm – 5pm, 7pm – 9pm
It would be great if there was an early AM delivery option, say 6-8am or something similar, but perhaps due to the location and traffic they figured that would be difficult.
They do claim the following on the items once they are delivered.
No need to rush home or be there at delivery. Orders are delivered in temperature controlled thermal bags which can sit outside for 2-4 hours. – See more at: https://www.opentaste.com/checkout.htm?delivery_date=2015-08-05%2000%3A00%3A00#a

Meet a team member at Open Taste! Morgan’s personal introduction to why she loves Open Taste and what she thinks about fresh food.When Morgan first started working for Open Taste, she was excited about introducing more natural and whole foods to the community. Growing up, she learned the importance of growing foods with herbicides or pesticides and enjoyed knowing exactly what she puts into her body. After all, our food has a major impact on our overall health and well-being. Plus, she loves the fact that Open Taste encourages responsible farming practices and supports sustainable agriculture. Who doesn’t love that?

Apple iPhone Apple TV Event Sept 9, 2015(although there is speculation that the date may change).
Get ready for some new products announcements from Apple coming in about a month. Apple will be holding their product announcement event on Sept 9, 2015.
We should expect a new iPhone, and Apple TV and possibly iPads.
More details will be coming in the weeks and days leading up to the event with speculation running high on the names and products to be announced.
Could we see an iPad Pro or iPhone 6s, or something else?
Some speculation around the Apple TV web streaming service.
