The sale did say one day only or while supplies last. They probably set the price back where it was as soon as they ran out of stock. The following is from the email I got

My email gave it to me as a gold box deal. I figured it was that price for everybody. It was a one day only sale. Last time I got a deal like that in my email it was for all 4 of the Alien movies in blu-ray for $29.99. I waited until I got home from work to order and by that time the sale was over. So this time I ordered immediately.

I am all about the original series because I grew up with it. It is more of a nostalgia thing with me than anything else. TNG they got too much into makeup technical jargon for my taste. I loved Voyager. The first season of Enterprise was really good but it went downhill fast after that. I am currently working my way through DS9 on Netflix and liking it better now than I did when it first came out.

Amazon.com has a one day only sale. "Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection (Star Trek I, II, III, IV, V, VI + The Captain's Summit Bonus Disc) [Blu-ray]" for $34.99. I think the DVD collection was $22. I have these movies in DVD but have wanted to upgrade to blu-ray for some time I just didn't want to spend $85 to do it. At this price they are less than $6 per movie for blu-ray.

Read the supplemental note SN to the sustitute bill. Then let me know if I am misinterpreting.

That isn't the supplemental note. The supplemental note removes the wording allowing me to serve house guests. If I was on my computer I would give you the link.
They added a supplemental note to this bill making it still illegal to share with my friends in my home.
I think you may be misinterpreting the bill. The substitute (http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2013_14/measures/documents/hb2223_01_0000.pdf) allows for serving to "guests" which is defined as people invited by the host as opposed to the general public. If you invite a friend into your home, you can serve them your homebrew under this bill. What you could not do would be to serve homebrew at an event open to the public (such as a beer festival).

I have been looking at these:

I think they are similar, if not the same, as what Steve pointed to.

Beer Recipes / Re: My second stab at a brown ale
« on: April 01, 2013, 07:09:24 AM »
Had a few glasses of this last night. This one is a keeper. I compared it to the last one I did. Exactly the same grain bill but last time I used Williamette hops in the following schedule
1 oz hops 60 minutes
1 oz hops 20 minutes
1 oz hops 10 minutes
When sampled side by side the new recipe is mellower for lack of ways to describe. My earlier one was more seltzery. The hops were detectable in my new recipe but not overwhelming. Just perfect for my taste. In the last recipe the hops were not detectable at all. I suppose that could be because it was bottled 7 months ago. Anyway it is time to order some Kent Golding hops because I want to make this stuff again.
