We were very happy with the quality of service and products. Have already recommended your company to friends.
We were thrilled with how easy this was. We received lots of updates. We did have an item missing from the original shipment but it was taken care of quickly and efficiently. When we are staying at Disney, we will definitely use Garden Grocer again.
Loved this option for our visit to WDW! The groceries were there when we checked in and the order was 100% correct! Their follow up calls and emails were quick, polite, and much appreciated! I will recommend them to my friends and use them again! Thanks so much!

After six months of preparations, the Luhr Jensen & Sons Gallery has been completed and in celebration, will have a grand opening today at 1 p.m. at The History Museum of Hood River County.
Museum remains closed during regular hours for audit
According to County Administrator David Meriwether, The History Museum of Hood River County is still closed for the time being while auditors examine the financial records of the museum.
Meriwether said auditors from the Tigard accounting firm Pauly Rogers and Co. arrived Thursday morning to look over the museum's books. The county learned last week of possible accounting issues that may have derived from the museum's pending application for a federal nonprofit tax designation.
The museum has been closed for approximately one week and Meriwether still predicted Thursday morning that the museum's closure would be brief. He noted the museum will be opened specially for the Luhr Jensen Gallery debut and reunion party occurring this Saturday, Aug. 17, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the museum, which is located at 300 E. Port Marina Drive.
The permanent exhibit will chronicle the nearly 75 years the fishing tackle manufacturer resided in Hood River before it was sold in 2005 to Rapala — a company from Finland that is the world's largest producer of fishing lures — which moved manufacturing operations overseas.
The business was started in 1932 by Luhr Jensen Sr. — an avid angler who made his own fishing lures in his home workshop in Hood River. Over the years, the business gradually expanded from a one-person operation to an over 300-person operation, which also included a business that sold meat smokers. The business was located at 400 Portway Avenue in Hood River, currently in use by another homegrown Hood River business, Turtle Island Foods.
After Luhr Sr. passed away in 1972, the Luhr Jensen business stayed family-owned until its sale in 2005. Phil Jensen, son of Luhr Sr., served as the last president and owner of the company and looks back on the business his father built with fondness.
"Not everyone is lucky enough to love what they do," he said.
Phil Jensen has long been active with The History Museum and has been both board member and benefactor over the years. He has had plans to have a Luhr Jensen collection displayed at the museum for years.
The exhibit is located in the southeast corner of the building, right near the entrance, and features a 12-foot-long mural, three different video screens that will display old Luhr Jensen photos and play other media, and a display of fishing rods, lures, spinners, and other fishing gear and equipment manufactured by the company.
Phil Jensen said he has also invited former Luhr Jensen employees to a reunion party that will coincide with the gallery opening on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 1 to 5 p.m. at The History Museum, located at 300 E. Port Marina Drive. Refreshments will be served, including strawberry shortcake, and fishing lures will also be given away to guests. A $5 donation is suggested for the public event, with all proceeds going to United Way of the Columbia Gorge.

Lawnmower torches Arbor Vitae on Portland Drive
The riding lawn mower driven by Norma Cannon overheated and made contact with dry arbor vitae owned by Lee and Norma Curtis, sending more than a dozen of the tightly-packed trees up in flames. The mower, visible at far right, was totaled. No one was injured; neighbors first kept the fire at bay with garden hoses and Westside and Hood River Fire Departments responded and doused the fire before it reached any structures. Westside Fire chief Jim Trammell, in blue shirt, directs firefighters. The video was taken by Capt. Dave Smith of Hood River Fire Department. Enlarge

Fish with no rod or boat
You can get fish by making a boat and a rod but it takes SO LONG to get the supplies to make it. So all you need to do is grab the fish. This can be VERY EASY or can be VERY HARD depending on if you understand this. When there is a pack of fish or one swimming towards shore, secretly swim past the fish than use sand or dirt or any blocks topple them from the bottom of the sea all the way to the top. Than the fish will be trapped bettween the sand blocks made into a wall and the shore. Since you created a small place where the fish is traped it will be easy to chase the fish... Just tap the fish than u will automatically chase and hit it. Repeat six or five times! Than the fish turns into RAW FISH in your dock you can eat it raw or cook it! Hope this helped!!

First, some background information: the tax treatment of a Roth IRA distribution depends on whether or not the distribution is qualified. Qualified distributions from Roth IRAs are tax and penalty free, but non-qualified distributions may be subjected to tax and an early-distribution penalty. Generally, for a distribution to be qualified, it must occur at least five years after the Roth IRA owner established and funded his/her first Roth IRA - this is the five-year rule to which you refer.
In your case, you may withdraw any amount from the principal balance at any time, and the amount will be tax and penalty free. Only the earnings are subject to the five-year holding period because you are at least 59.5 years old.
Note: Please make sure that you distribute your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year before you convert the amount to the Roth IRA. RMD amounts cannot be converted to a Roth IRA and must be distributed before the conversion. Otherwise, the RMD amount will be considered an ineligible conversion.
To learn more, read Avoiding RMD Pitfalls,'Tis The Season For Required Minimum Distributions, Preparing For The RMD Season - Part 1 and Preparing For The RMD Season - Part 2.

Canada is a massive country, yet it has one of the lowest population densities in the world. Despite this, Canadians have made a wide impact on their land, much of it visible from aerial and satellite photography. Hydroelectric facilities, roads, mines, farms, ports, resource exploration, logging, canals, cities, and towns have altered much of the landscape over the years.

DNR: Water system will have little environmental impact
Those tired of that Mississippi River taste in their drinking water may be in luck. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources says the environmental impact of a proposed $10.25 million upgrade to Cape Girardeau's water system is negligible.
That means if all goes according to plan, within one year, the city will begin construction on four new wells, a water line, and perhaps a booster pump station needed to stop relying on the river for up to 20 percent of its water.
"Our goal is to get away from depending directly on the river for water," said public works director Tim Gramling. "That way the water will be much better quality and cheaper to treat once we get it from the ground. When it comes from underground sources impurities are filtered out naturally so you don't have to put the same chemicals in to purify it."
Gramling cautioned, though, the river city will always indirectly depend on the big muddy for its water. "It just depends on how closely you want to look at it," he said. Underground sources also come from the river, Gramling said, but are filtered up through levels of rock and alluvium.
Cape Girardeau currently has two treatment plants. The first on Cape Rock Drive has a capacity of 8 million gallons per day and treats a blend of river and alluvial well water. The second plant on South Sprigg Street is used only during high demand periods and has a capacity of 3 million gallons per day.
Today, the city's maximum one-day demand is 9.17 million gallons. DNR estimates that population increases over the next 20 years will elevate that total to 12.22 million gallons. The new project will help meet that new demand.
At the end of the project, the plants will be capable of purifying as much as 15 million gallons of water daily, said Kevin Priester, water systems manager for Alliance Resources.
But if Cape Girardeau wants the state loan this year, it will have to act fast. To date there is about $15 million left in Missouri's annual revolving fund for drinking water. Applicants for the money are prioritized by need and bonding capacity. Cape Girardeau ranks ninth on a list of 31 cities across the state seeking money.
"They could do it as soon as they want, and if the money is there and they give us a complete fundability plan, they could get the money," said Stephen Jones, environmental engineer for the DNR.
In May of 2004, Cape Girardeau completed a $17.6 million improvement project to the treatment plant on Cape Rock Drive. The improvement was funded through a bond initiative and retired with money from a quarter-cent sales tax increase approved by voters in 1996.
As much as $3 million remains from that project and city officials said the new improvements will go forward in phases with no need for an immediate bond initiative.
The first phase of construction will include four new alluvial wells, each with a depth of 140 feet. These wells will be connected to the Cape Rock treatment plant by 28,300 feet of ductile iron piping.

Reading the comments about the Palestinians 'avoiding' resuming peace talks tmakes you think that they might have one or more good reasons. 1) Resuming peace talks while the settlement interprise continues are conditions which are not accepable 2) No other country would be able to continue building on stolen land without an outcry comdemning lawless appropiation of land belonging to an other state. 3) Israel is like a spoiled and capricious child spoiled beyond all reasonable acceptance. It's time for israel to grow up, to stand on its own feet without the US giving in to israel building 'Jewish neighbourhoods' in the West Bank and its apartheid politics towards the Palestinians. 4) All UN resolutions are being ignored by Israel, and nobody says a word. 5) The Palestinians are happy about the status quo and therefore don't see any reason for change???????

With 9th Cloud Expo at Silicon Valley's Santa Clara Convention Center now finished, Cloud Computing Journal asked a variety of industry stakeholders what their Top Three takeaways were from the event, now that the many thousands of delegates are back at their desks and their companies, leveraging the knowledge and the insights that they gained through the extensive technical/strategic program and the huge number of booths on the Expo floor.
- View the Photo Album from 9th Cloud Expo | Cloud Expo 2011 Silicon Valley
- SUBMIT TODAY your proposal for a technical or strategy session to 10th Cloud Expo | Cloud Expo 2012 New York (June 11-14, 2012)
Here are the Top Three according to Dave Roberts - Vice President of Strategy and Marketing at ServiceMesh.
Takeaway #1: Private PaaS is the NEXT HOT THING
While IaaS provides a great, generic substrate on which to create applications, most enterprises are going to up-level their developers to a PaaS platform to promote increased efficiency, faster delivery times, and more reliable applications. Much of the focus so-far has been on Public PaaS. Public PaaS is great, but it requires commitment to a service provider with little capacity to migrate if things go south. Private PaaS provides a standard, high-level environment that is portable to almost any IaaS cloud.
Takeaway #2: 2012 will be the Year of Production
2011 saw a lot of PoC activity and "playing with clouds." Trial projects were committed and executed. Those are now bearing fruit, people are talking about the results, and everyone is increasingly saying the P-word. Expect to see a large number of applications lifted, shifted, retargeted, and written cloud-native in 2012.
Takeaway #3: Cloud Policy and Governance is the missing link
Much of the past couple years has been focused on building clouds. We have worked through most of those issues. The question now is how are people going to use clouds. Enterprises are rapidly coming to the conclusion that without a strong policy and governance solution, self-service IT either can't happen or will be so restrictive as to be useless. Expect to see #cloudgovernance trending on Twitter through 2012.

Customer review by Megbeth84
This show is completely brilliant. I came across it one late night on FX as I was flipping through channels and i was immediately hooked. I've been waiting for this DVD to come out since the season ended. Its funny and dark and strangely touching. I rarely ended an episode without wanting to ponder my own life a little bit more. Interesting moral ideas to ponder regarding family, thievery, love, money and the "American Dream". Wonderful, wonderful show, especially if you're a fan of the actors in it.

Israel releases 26 Palestinian prisoners: Palestinian official
Ofer Prison: Israel released early Tuesday 26 Palestinian prisoners, a Palestinian official told a news agency, in accordance with commitments made to revive US-brokered peace talks.
"Two vans carrying (18) prisoners left Ofer prison and were headed to Ramallah" in the West Bank, the official said, adding that three other prisoners were being released to the Gaza Strip and five others to east Jerusalem.
Tuesday`s release was the third stage of the freeing of 104 inmates that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu committed to let go in four stages, when the peace talks were renewed in July.
It came after an Israeli court rejected a last-minute appeal by victims` families, as US Secretary of State John Kerry was preparing to travel to the region in a bid to boost faltering peace talks with Israelis and Palestinians.
AFP correspondents in Ramallah, Gaza and east Jerusalem reported the freed prisoners had reached their destinations just before 02:30 am (0030 GMT).

Onboard today's cruise vessels, a surfeit of specialty dining options, activities, classes and services are available for guests to enjoy. On mainstream cruise lines, most such goodies come at an additional cost to passengers. Some agents say the extra costs are hurting them too.
As the number of cruise berths has multiplied and cruise fares have dropped, major cruise lines increasingly look to shipboard spending as a significant revenue source. Recent financial statements of Carnival Corp. and Royal Caribbean both show shipboard spending increasing as a share of total revenue. (See sidebar.)
Nickel and diming
Cruise lines are in the hunt for alternate revenue sources, suggested Peter Fanizzi, owner of My Going Places Travel in Staten Island, N.Y. "In the never-ending quest to operate huge megaships, the cruise lines are running into basic economic problems."
The impact on passengers? "The nickel and diming [of passengers] is ridiculous," he said.
Travel agents lose out when cruise lines drastically reduce fares, thereby reducing commissions, then supplant the lost income with onboard revenues.
"When clients spend extra money on alcohol, activities, taxes and fees, agents don't get an extra dime," said Fanizzi.
Pricey onboard temptations affect cruise passengers too, adding to the total cost of their vacations, at least for the incautious.
"We've noticed over the last few years that while the dollar cost to get on the ship has come down tremendously, we see [passengers'] shipboard expenses going up," said Ginny Wilson-Gordon, owner of Travel By Design in Greenville, S. Carol.
Danger for cruise rookies
Some agents fear that first-time cruisers will be deterred from future cruise vacations when their shipboard purchases cause them to overspend on their initial trip.
"My new clients, the first-time cruisers, really run up the bill," said Dillon Pyron, owner of Austin Adventure Travel in Austin, Texas. "Some of them are very upset about it," he said, adding that it's not just clients of modest means who are unhappy about shipboard expenses.
Pyron said he thinks the megaships' emphasis on costly restaurants and shopping outlets will exacerbate the shipboard spending problem in years ahead.
"Chops Grille, for instance, will be in every ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet by the end of the year," said Pyron. "I think Royal Caribbean has quit viewing the fare as a profit center and are looking at the ship as one."
Not tempted
Not all agents have an issue with the cruise lines' drive to increase onboard revenues.
Ruby Estes, owner of Going All Places Travel in Riesel, Texas, said shipboard spending isn't a problem for her clients, since most are wary of pricy temptations such as specialty dining.
"I have one or two clients who will visit the steakhouse for a special occasion," Estes said. "But many of my clients say, 'Why go to the steakhouse when I'm already paying for the cruise?'"
Travel agent Denyse Turner makes it a point to warn clients about the added expenses they'll encounter onboard.
"I do a lot of large groups, and educate them so they know ahead of time what they're going to have to pay for," said Turner, CEO of Rx 4 Fun Travel in Fair Lawn, N.J.
She also builds onboard spending credits into the total package for her clients, "so they have some complimentary cash," she said.
Drinks packages too
One of the latest opportunities for passengers to spend more money onboard are the all-you-can-drink packages introduced by several cruise lines in 2012. (See: Cruise Lines Expand All-You-Can-Drink Packages, Dec. 17, 2012.)
The drinks packages usually range between $50 and $60, per person daily, for alcoholic beverages. The packages have strict limitations on the number and types of drinks available. Also, all cabin mates are usually required to purchase a package even if one does not drink.
It's not clear that the drinks plans are a good value, Turner said. "The drink programs are something we have to look into to see if it's really worth it for cruisers. I'm going to monitor how the policies are really working, going forward."
Others suggested that the high costs of drinks plans will prove prohibitive. "If they had the drink packages at a more manageable price, like $30 a day, I think they'd have more cruisers buying in," said Estes.
A shift away
With their clients spending less on fares and more onboard, some agents are hesitant to sell mainstream cruises.
"With the number of ships out there, and the number of beds in the Caribbean, we've found the market is so depressed, in terms of what we can earn on revenue, that we don't sell those products," said Wilson-Gordon.
Instead, she's moving clients to more-inclusive lines like Princess and Oceania, she said, adding: "Our clients don't want to go into their pockets constantly."
Onboard today's cruise vessels, a surfeit of specialty dining options, activities, classes and services are available for guests to enjoy. On mainstream cruise lines, most such goodies come at an additional cost to passengers. Some agents say the extra costs are hurting them too.
Travel advisors should reach and assist travelers during the 'micro-moments' of the travel experience, reinforce their value-add to consumers, and refer them to digital tools when appropriate. As the online and offline travel worlds come together, everything has changed while nothing has changed.
