Home Canning Kits
This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You will never need anything else except jars & lids (and the jars are reusable)! There is also a simple kit with just the canner and rack, and a pressure canner, if you want to do vegetables (other than tomatoes). To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!
Lids, Rings, Jars, mixes, pectin, etc.
Need lids, rings and replacement jars? Or pectin to make jam, spaghetti sauce or salsa mix or pickle mixes? Get them all here, and usually at lower prices than your local store!

By Ryan Zimmerman
Hey, it's Ryan — and I am back again with my weekly countdown. This week's countdown is: Top 5 Movie Babes of the 80s. These bodacious babes sizzled on the big screen.
5. Amanda Peterson as Cindy Mancini
Can't Buy Me Love : Donned in her all white, fringe, suede jacket, Cindy made a "Man"-cini out of teen boys across the country. Captain of the cheerleaders, She Rah-Rah'd for Ronald Miller (after he paid her) and took him from "geek to chic," due to her popularity and straight up hotness. To this day, I still wish I could have seen her do the African Anteater Ritual Dance. I recently tried to get an interview with her and her current relationships, but she was very tight-lipped. I guess I could have seen that coming — after all, take a look at her forehead . . . "do you see a sign that says information?"
4. Christie Brinkley as the "Girl in the Ferrari"
National Lampoon's Vacation: Too hot to be given a name, "The girl in the Ferrari" sped onto the big screen in National Lampoon's Vacation. She joined Clark W. Griswold in a late night, motel skinny dipping soiree and captured him in her sexy spell long enough for him to dance erotically with a dog-urine soaked sandwich. Now, rapidly approaching 60 years of age, to the dismay of her long time fan base, she has transformed from Christie Brinkley, to Christie Wrinkly.
3. Jessica Tandy as Daisy Wertham
Driving Miss Daisy: Hey, DON'T JUDGE ME! Okay . . . fine—moving on. . . .
3. Kelly Lynch as Doctor Elizabeth Kay
Road House: This small town doctor got her MD-elicious from SMU (Smokin' Hot University). Armed with beauty and brains, Doc mended Dalton's injuries (because "Pain don't hurt") and stroked his ego and his mullet, up in the barn loft. She wisely passed up the role in the sequel, Roadhouse 2 — Last Call. It ended up being a real stinker. Like a "Double Deuce" stinker.
2. Kelly LeBrock as Lisa
Weird Science: Created by two dweebs using a Barbie and bras on their heads, Lisa comes out of virtuality and into reality, via a bolt of lightning, and many Playboy magazine cut outs. Sporting quite possibly the biggest hair of any 80s movie, Lisa personifies the male fantasy. The ability to create the perfect woman — and one that "aerobicizes" and hops in the shower with you at any moment. She goes even further to solidify her babe-itude by helping Gary and Wyatt score dates with their long time crushes by throwing a party with "chips, dips, chains and whips." At the conclusion of the film, Lisa becomes the high school gym teacher — and inevitably establishes climbing the rope as the most enjoyable part of class.
1. Phoebe Cates as Linda Barrett
Fast Times at Ridgemont High: Note to the movie-makers of today: Slow motion hot girl + running in a bikini = box office gold! One of the most memorable scenes from the incredibly memorable movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Cates wore out the pause buttons on VCRs and Beta machines everywhere, as she emerged out of the swimming pool and into Judge Reinhold's fantasy world. In real life, she ended up marrying actor Kevin Kline, forever shattering my comedic dream of having her marry NFL Wide Receiver, Don Beebe . . . think about it . . . think about it. . . .

We have some interesting news now for those of you that play Relic Entertainment's popular Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II — Retribution game, as we've just discovered that a new update has recently gone live and will be automatically downloaded the next time you start the Steam Client. What's more is that we have the list of changes.
As John Papadopoulos from dsogaming.com reports, the latest update not only fixes a large number of issues, it also adds support for the new Ulthwe DLC. One such issue that has now been corrected is the exploit that enabled players to cast smite multiple times. The update has also fixed the problem that allowed Lord General to cast med kits numerous times.
Another issue that has been resolved with the latest update is the one that allowed units to take damage while under the effects of 'Angels of Death.' The update has also improved squad plans of units with missiles, reduced the chances of Abilities misfire for most of the abilities and improved the squad plans for units with flamers.
Players will also find that all Chaos worship modifiers are now exclusive, Ravener Alpha will no longer fire while making tunnels, the Ork Burna Melee cooldown has now changed from 1 to 0, the Plague Marine death explosion will no longer give a damage modifier and the Ork Stromboyz and Force Commander's Powersword will now show correct weapon decorator.
The new update has made a number of changes to the races — Orks, Chaos, Tyranids, Imperial Guard, Eldar and Space Marines — in the Dawn of War II: Retribution game. For example, the Orks' Bommaboyz will no longer cause knockback on retreat, the Mek Boy HP is now 600 instead of 540 and the Tankbusters HP has been increased from 800 to 850.
Meanwhile, the Space Marines' Predator HP has been increased and is now 700 instead of 600 and the Librarian 'Smite' damage has been reduced from 25 to 20. On the Imperial Guard side, the Creeping Barrage Red Cost is now 200 instead of 175 and the Sentinels Stun effect has been reduced from 7 seconds to 5 seconds.
Other changes include an increase in the Chaos Predator HP (now 770 instead of 660), a reduction in the Touch of Nurgle damage from 75 to 37.5 and an increase in the Ravener Hero Tunnel building time from 6 seconds to 10 seconds. You can view what other changes have been made via the dsogaming.com website. Do you play the Dawn of War II: Retribution game?

BoingBoing TV just ran this interview with Star Simpson, the MIT student who was arrested at Boston's Logan Airport last year for the crime of wearing a hoodie with a blinking LED device on the front when she picked up a friend at the airport. Simpson was arrested, subjected to a series of court dates, practically disowned by MIT and accused of creating a "hoax device" by the same vigilant Bostonians that went after the Aqua Teen Hunger Force guerilla marketers.
Simpson was sentenced to community service and ordered to give the people of Boston a public apology. As somebody who has plenty of fashion faux-pas to apologize for, I can feel her pain. Stay vigilant for a follow-up article in the next issue of MAKE!

About UsWhy Look To Us
We Want To Create Clearer Communication Between Dogs and Owners.
Scott Williams
Jessica Williams
Our History
Scott and Jess are both lifelong dog lovers. Their passion is helping owners better relate to their dogs. Together they have worked with over 2,000 dogs in the New England area. Transferring their hands on expertise to an online platform allows them to reach families with dogs on a more national level.
Scott began his dog training business almost 20 years ago in California and has been training dogs in New England since 2009. Jess toured with multiple canine production companies after receiving her Bachelor of Science from the University of Michigan and ultimately chose a career as a dog trainer.
What Drives Us
Our Mission
Canine Healing offers online consults and courses that provide support to people who need help managing and controlling their dogs. We want your dog to become a well-balanced family member and strive for people to be able to help themselves through helping their dog.
ONLINE Consultation
Visit Our Blog
Online Courses
Have some questions?
Who is Canine Healing designed for?
Whether you have already completed extensive training with your dog or done nothing to date, Canine Healing can benefit both you and your dog. Our programs are much less about dog training with commands and focus more on the relationship aspects of owning a dog.
How is a consult different than the courses offered?
The courses address specific topics. Consults will be more general, depending on where you and your dog are struggling. We are able to give you more individualized attention during a consult as well as direct you to courses that may be beneficial for you and your dog moving forward into the future.
Do you offer refunds?
All of our courses are fully refundable up to 10 days from their start date. Once you have access to the material if for some reason do not find that there is enough added value for you and your dog within the course, we will happily refund your money with no questions asked within that 10 day time frame.

[Taipei] There have been many themed cafes opening up all over Taipei, and Swell Co. Coffee is one which attracts many to take photos with its feature wall. More on that later.
Established in 2017, this surfing-themed joint is decorated with cactuses and surfboards, complete with that cool California beach vibe.
It is located in Da'an District, a quiet residential area.
Entering into Swell Co. Coffee can be like stepping into a tropical beach cafe. Seems like a perfect spot to catch up with a friend or to have a cup of coffee and read a book.
The owner is a surf and sports enthusiast so it is no wonder that Swell Co. Coffee offers sport's broadcasts and host a number of events that attract fans.
This is a time when this peaceful café turns into a lively sports bar.
Swell Co. Coffee also features some beach murals on the walls which give this place a cool summery beach vibe.
There are a couple of wooden tables, as well as 4 bar stools right in front of the counter. You can also sit outside, as there is a long bench for people watching.
At the corner is a feature wall, looking very similar to the famed "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai.
While I was in the café for about an hour, I saw no lesson than 8 different individuals and groups doing all sorts of poses, most likely for their Instagram feed.
On the menu, you will find a wide range of coffees from Costa Rican to African.
Light meals are available, from Acai Bowl (NT$240), Pesto Smoked Salmon Croissant (NT$200), Avocado Bacon Bagel (NT$200) and Cheese Beef Bagel (NT$200).
For something heavier, there are the Swell Style Grilled Chicken Plate (NT$300) and Smoked Salmon Plate (NT$320).
If you are into the craft beer scene, you will be happy to hear that Swell Co. Coffee serves a variety of IPA's and APA's including Big Wave Ale, Fire Rock Pale Ale, Calico Amber Ale, and Red Velvet Nitro.
In case you are after a laid-back café and wish to get away from the hustle and bustle of urban life, Swell Co. Coffee may just do it for you.
Swell Co. Coffee
No. 23, Siwei Road, Da'an District, Taipei City, Taiwan 106 (Near MRT Daan Red and Brown Line)
Tel: +886 2 2700 3003
