I've seen them at Kroger. Typically sandwiched between the coin counter machine and the scratch off lottery machine. It claims to be a buck a day a movie, though I have not yet tried it out. RE: Walgreen sees movie-burning DVD kiosks at stores | Technology | Reuters |

Yahoo News - AP tests Comcast filter blocking (and Bible blocking) |

In short, Comcast now will filter content to block or hinder various torrent and P2P connections. Comcast is sending fake disconnect or reset signals to some of the programs to reduce connection success. It's Comcastic. An AP reporter attempted to download, using file-sharing program BitTorrent, a copy of the King James Bible from two computers in the Philadelphia and San Francisco areas, both of which were connected to the Internet through Comcast cable modems.
In two out of three tries, the transfer was blocked. In the third, the transfer started only after a 10-minute delay. When we tried to upload files that were in demand by a wider number of BitTorrent users, those connections were also blocked. Not all Comcast-connected computers appear to be affected, however. In a test with a third Comcast-connected computer in the Boston area, we were unable to test with the Bible, apparently due to an unrelated error. When we attempted to upload a more widely disseminated file, there was no evidence of blocking. The Bible test was conducted with three other Internet connections. One was provided by Time Warner Inc.'s Time Warner Cable, and the other came from Cablevision Systems Corp. The third was the business-class connection to the AP's headquarters, provided by AT&T Inc. and Cogent Communications Group Inc. No signs of interference with file-sharing were detected in those tests.
What would be funny is if some extremists take this as Comcast blocking access to the bible. Yahoo News - AP tests Comcast filter blocking (and Bible blocking) |

What Is Chlamydia? Snow White: Chlamydia is a lot like swallowing a poisoned apple transformed through magic by a witch. Except, instead of a poisoned apple, it’s more like bacteria living on dirty dwarf cock. Cinderella: The Chlamydia bacteria can grow in the throat, vagina, penis, or absolutely anywhere on that whore “Sleeps-Around Beauty.” Oh, I’m sorry. I mean, Aurora. Pocahontas: Chlamydia is the only thing I still have from John Smith.
How Do You Get It? Snow White: I’m not a scientist so I can only guess, but I think the smart money is on doing the rusty trombone with Happy. Jasmine: Chlamydia was invented by Jews. Ariel: I got it playing a game I like to call “Finding Nemo.”

Last time we brewed this, it was an absolute hit (as in, the keg was empty a few hours after we kegged...I didn't even get any...damn house parties), so I am looking forward to trying this. In secondary : Paulaner Hefe clone and a high gravity belgian beer....oh yes.....winter is going to be good.
Do be sure to post how it goes, and a recipe with gravities if it turns out good. Though I have played with all kinds of different ingredients, I have yet to do pumpkin. RE: Beer beer magical beer |
