|Tie Order Guide
First, decide on the style and size of the tie that you will make. In this example we will make a standard 57 inch long, 3 1/2 inch wide tie with a keeper sewn into the tie. The silk used is a striped plain weave Thai silk that we custom wove.
After listening carefully to our client we will pick the construction for our ties depending on the texture and weight of the silk.
Next, assemble your supplies. You will need a pattern, sharp pair of scissors or rotary cutter, silk pins, ruler, marking pencil, thread, a new needle, a label, 1 square yard of silk fabric and approximately 1 3/4 yards of wool for your interlining. You can make roughly two ties with 1 yard of silk. The wool will make many interlinings. The number will depend on whether you make a one or two piece interlining.
Carefully unroll your silk and smooth it out with your hands. Place your pattern on top of the silk and draw a line around the edges of the fabric. You will generally have a 3-piece pattern for the tie and a 1-piece pattern for your interlining. You will also have three smaller pieces for the keeper and tipping.
You can use a wool that you purchase at your local fabric store; we use 100% combed wool that is very springy and has two layers.
Be careful to cut your pattern line on a 45-degree bias angle to the selvage for both your silk and your wool.
Feel free to use a rotary cutter if you prefer. Be sure to use a new blade. After cutting press the silk using a regular iron set at the silk temperature setting. Do not iron the silk because you might leave a shiny mark.
Now draw the lines on the wrong side of the silk fabric where the tipping will be sewn to the main area of the tie.
Here we have drawn the lines on our pattern so that you can clearly see them. In real life you will draw these lines on the silk fabric.
Now the tricky part where you sew the bottom edge of the tie. The right side of the tipping faces the right side of the main part of the tie. Now make a couple of stitches to hold the two pieces together. Next open the fabric and make it flat. Sew the first line closest to the edge of the fabric on both sides of the triangle. Then sew across at a 45-degree angle to make the point of the triangle. After this you sew the inside corners.
Hint: use a piece of poster board cut into a triangle shape as a form to help to form the bottom of the tie.
We prefer to sew the ends of the tie by eye. Although harder to learn at first, this technique is great for forming a natural tip, and is part the Sam Hober construction style.
Next sew the small end's tipping onto the tie. The technique is the same.
After finishing the previous step, you will turn the the top and bottom ends inside out.
Now sew the 3 main pieces of silk together. Note only two pieces are visible in the photograph.
|Place the wool interlining inside the tie. Be careful to place the interlining snugly against the top and bottom ends of the tie.
Fold the silk to the centerline, and then fold again to the centerline for a total of four folds. The second fold to the centerline will overlap slightly.
Use silk pins to hold the folds in place.
Fold the keeper into a tube and sew it closed. Carefully place it inside the tie under the fold and then sew it into the tie. Then flatten the keeper and sew both sides onto the tie. By putting the keeper under the fold it will be stronger and last longer.
Be careful not to sew through the tie.
To close the tie you can use a hidden stitch or a saddle stitch. Both are attractive ways to close a tie. In this example we are using a hidden stitch.
Use a slip stitch loop at both the bottom and the top. The slip stitch gives the tie more flexibility.
|Sew slowly and carefully from the bottom to the top, removing the silk pins as you go along.
Sew the label with small stitches on each of the two smaller sides. Do not simply tack the corners as the label may fall off easily.
Again be careful not to go all the way through the tie.
Finally! A finished necktie. Immediately try it on with your favorite shirt.
Please note that if you are very good at making ties it will take roughly two hours to make one tie as you need to constantly stop and check the balance and small details.
It is the attention to details that makes a beautiful luxury tie more than anything else.

Guest Reviewer: Charles C. Mann on Why Nations Fail
Charles C. Mann, a correspondent for The Atlantic, Science, and Wired, has written for Fortune, The New York Times, Smithsonian, Technology Review, Vanity Fair, and The Washington Post, as well as for the TV network HBO and the series Law & Order. A three-time National Magazine Award finalist, he is the recipient of writing awards from the American Bar Association, the American Institute of Physics, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Lannan Foundation. His 1491 won the National Academies Communication Award for the best book of the year. He lives in Amherst, Massachusetts.
A few years ago, while I was researching a book on the history of globalization, I suddenly realized that I was seeing the same two names on a lot of the smartest stuff I was reading. The names belonged to two economists, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson. Much of their work focused on a single question: Why are poor places poor, and is there something we can do about it?
This is one of the most important questions imaginable in economics—indeed, in the world today. It is also one of the most politically fraught. In working on my book, I read numerous attempts by economists, historians and other researchers to explain why most of North America and Europe is wealthy and why most of Asia, Africa and Latin America is not. But these usually boiled down to claims that rich nations had won the game by cheating poor places or that poor places had inherently inferior cultures (or locations) which prevented them from rising. Conservative economists used the discussion as a chance to extol the wide-open markets they already believed in; liberal economists used it to make the attacks on unrestrained capitalism they were already making. And all too often both seemed wildly ignorant of history. I can't recall encountering another subject on which so many people expended so much energy to generate so little light.
Acemoglu and Robinson were in another category entirely. They assembled what is, in effect, a gigantic, super-complete database of every country's history, and used it to ask questions—wicked smart questions. They found unexpected answers—ones that may not satisfy partisans of either side, but have the ring of truth.
Why Nations Fail is full of astounding stories. I ended up carrying the book around, asking friends, "Did you know this?" The stories make it a pleasure to read. More important, though, Acemoglu and Robinson changed my perspective on how the world works. My suspicion is that I won't be the only person to say this after reading Why Nations Fail.
"...bracing, garrulous, wildly ambitious and ultimately hopeful. It may, in fact, be a bit of a masterpiece."—Washington Post
"For economics and political-science students, surely, but also for the general reader who will appreciate how gracefully the authors wear their erudition."—Kirkus Reviews
"Provocative stuff; backed by lots of brain power."—Library Journal
"This is an intellectually rich book that develops an important thesis with verve. It should be widely read." —Financial Times
"A probing . . . look at the roots of political and economic success . . . large and ambitious new book." —The Daily
"Why Nations Fail is a splendid piece of scholarship and a showcase of economic rigor." —The Wall Street Journal
"Ranging from imperial Rome to modern Botswana, this book will change the way people think about the wealth and poverty of nations...as ambitious as Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel."
—Bloomberg BusinessWeek
"The main strength of this book is beyond the power of summary: it is packed, from beginning to end, with historical vignettes that are both erudite and fascinating. As Jared Diamond says on the cover: 'It will make you a spellbinder at parties.' But it will also make you think." —The Observer (UK)
"A brilliant book." —Bloomberg (Jonathan Alter)
"Why Nations Fail is a wildly ambitious work that hopscotches through history and around the world to answer the very big question of why some countries get rich and others don't." —The New York Times (Chrystia Freeland)
"Why Nations Failis a truly awesome book. Acemoglu and Robinson tackle one of the most important problems in the social sciences—a question that has bedeviled leading thinkers for centuries—and offer an answer that is brilliant in its simplicity and power. A wonderfully readable mix of history, political science, and economics, this book will change the way we think about economic development. Why Nations Fail is a must-read book." —Steven Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics
"You will have three reasons to love this book. It's about national income differences within the modern world, perhaps the biggest problem facing the world today. It's peppered with fascinating stories that will make you a spellbinder at cocktail parties—such as why Botswana is prospering and Sierra Leone isn't. And it's a great read. Like me, you may succumb to reading it in one go, and then you may come back to it again and again." —Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of the bestsellers Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse
"A compelling and highly readable book. And [the] conclusion is a cheering one: the authoritarian 'extractive' institutions like the ones that drive growth in China today are bound to run out of steam. Without the inclusive institutions that first evolved in the West, sustainable growth is impossible, because only a truly free society can foster genuine innovation and the creative destruction that is its corollary." —Niall Ferguson, author of The Ascent of Money
"Some time ago a little-known Scottish philosopher wrote a book on what makes nations succeed and what makes them fail. The Wealth of Nations is still being read today. With the same perspicacity and with the same broad historical perspective, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson have retackled this same question for our own times. Two centuries from now our great-great- . . . -great grandchildren will be, similarly, reading Why Nations Fail." —George Akerlof, Nobel laureate in economics, 2001
"Why Nations Fail is so good in so many ways that I despair of listing them all. It explains huge swathes of human history. It is equally at home in Asia, Africa and the Americas. It is fair to left and right and every flavor in between. It doesn't pull punches but doesn't insult just to gain attention. It illuminates the past as it gives us a new way to think about the present. It is that rare book in economics that convinces the reader that the authors want the best for ordinary people. It will provide scholars with years of argument and ordinary readers with years of did-you-know-that dinner conversation. It has some jokes, which are always welcome. It is an excellent book and should be purchased forthwith, so to encourage the authors to keep working." —Charles C. Mann, author of 1491 and 1493
"Imagine sitting around a table listening to Jared Diamond, Joseph Schumpeter, and James Madison reflect on over two thousand years of political and economic history. Imagine that they weave their ideas into a coherent theoretical framework based on limiting extraction, promoting creative destruction, and creating strong political institutions that share power and you begin to see the contribution of this brilliant and engagingly written book." —Scott E. Page, University of Michigan and Santa Fre Institute
"This fascinating and readable book centers on the complex joint evolution of political and economic institutions, in good directions and bad. It strikes a delicate balance between the logic of political and economic behavior and the shifts in direction created by contingent historical events, large and small at 'critical junctures.' Acemoglu and Robinson provide an enormous range of historical examples to show how such shifts can tilt toward favorable institutions, progressive innovation and economic success or toward repressive institutions and eventual decay or stagnation. Somehow they can generate both excitement and reflection." —Robert Solow, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 1987
"It's the politics, stupid! That is Acemoglu and Robinson's simple yet compelling explanation for why so many countries fail to develop. From the absolutism of the Stuarts to the antebellum South, from Sierra Leone to Colombia, this magisterial work shows how powerful elites rig the rules to benefit themselves at the expense of the many. Charting a careful course between the pessimists and optimists, the authors demonstrate history and geography need not be destiny. But they also document how sensible economic ideas and policies often achieve little in the absence of fundamental political change."—Dani Rodrik, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
"Two of the world's best and most erudite economists turn to the hardest issue of all: why are some nations poor and others rich? Written with a deep knowledge of economics and political history, this is perhaps the most powerful statement made to date that 'institutions matter.' A provocative, instructive, yet thoroughly enthralling book." —Joel Mokyr, Robert H. Strotz Professor of Arts and Sciences and Professor of Economics and History, Northwestern University
"A brilliant and uplifting book—yet also a deeply disturbing wake-up call. Acemoglu and Robinson lay out a convincing theory of almost everything to do with economic development. Countries rise when they put in place the right pro-growth political institutions and they fail—often spectacularly—when those institutions ossify or fail to adapt. Powerful people always and everywhere seek to grab complete control over government, undermining broader social progress for their own greed. Keep those people in check with effective democracy or watch your nation fail." —Simon Johnson, co-author of 13 Bankers and professor at MIT Sloan
"This important and insightful book, packed with historical examples, makes the case that inclusive political institutions in support of inclusive economic institutions is key to sustained prosperity. The book reviews how some good regimes got launched and then had a virtuous spiral, while bad regimes remain in a vicious spiral. This is important analysis not to be missed." —Peter Diamond, Nobel Laureate in Economics
"Acemoglu and Robinson have made an important contribution to the debate as to why similar-looking nations differ so greatly in their economic and political development. Through a broad multiplicity of historical examples, they show how institutional developments, sometimes based on very accidental circumstances, have had enormous consequences. The openness of a society, its willingness to permit creative destruction, and the rule of appear to be decisive for economic development." —Kenneth Arrow, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 1972
"Acemoglu and Robinson—two of the world's leading experts on development—reveal why it is not geography, disease, or culture which explains why some nations are rich and some poor, but rather a matter of institutions and politics. This highly accessible book provides welcome insight to specialists and general readers alike." —Francis Fukuyama, author of The End of History and the Last Man and The Origins of Political Order
"Some time ago a little known Scottish philosopher wrote a book on what makes nations succeed and what makes them fail. The Wealth of Nations is still being read today. With the same perspicacity and with the same broad historical perspective, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson have re-tackled this same question for our own times. Two centuries from now our great-great-…-great grandchildren will be, similarly, reading Why Nations Fail." —George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001
"In this stunningly wide ranging book Acemoglu and Robinson ask a simple but vital question, why do some nations become rich and others remain poor? Their answer is also simple—because some polities develop more inclusive political institutions. What is remarkable about the book is the crispness and clarity of the writing, the elegance of the argument, and the remarkable richness of historical detail. This book is a must read at a moment where governments right across the western world must come up with the political will to deal with a debt crisis of unusual proportions." —Steve Pincus, Bradford Durfee Professor of History and International and Area Studies, Yale University
"The authors convincingly show that countries escape poverty only when they have appropriate economic institutions, especially private property and competition. More originally, they argue countries are more likely to develop the right institutions when they have an open pluralistic political system with competition for political office, a widespread electorate, and openness to new political leaders. This intimate connection between political and economic institutions is the heart of their major contribution, and has resulted in a study of great vitality on one of the crucial questions in economics and political economy." — Gary S. Becker, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 1992
"This not only a fascinating and interesting book: it is a really important one. The highly original research that Professors Acemoglu and Robinson have done, and continue to do, on how economic forces, politics and policy choices evolve together and constrain each other, and how institutions affect that evolution, is essential to understanding the successes and failures of societies and nations. And here, in this book, these insights come in a highly accessible, indeed riveting form. Those who pick this book up and start reading will have trouble putting it down." ¯Michael Spence, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001
"In this delightfully readable romp through 400 years of history, two of the giants of contemporary social science bring us an inspiring and important message: it is freedom that makes the world rich. Let tyrants everywhere tremble!" —Ian Morris, Stanford University, author of Why the West Rules – For Now
"Acemoglu and Robinson pose the fundamental question concerning the development of the bottom billion. Their answers are profound, lucid, and convincing." ―Paul Collier, Professor of Economics, Oxford University, and author of The Bottom Billion

Several criticisms have been leveled in other reviews against this book: it is simplistic and perhaps overly ambitious, the history is bad, it explains away competing explanations. They are all true.
The book is undoubtedly simplistic. Basically, the authors state that the institutions of a nation or society can be placed on a one dimensional continuum running from "extractive" to "inclusive" and this explains the history of humanity from the neolithic to the present day. A second leitmotif is that the economic and political institutions complement each other and that economically inclusive but politically extractive institutions cannot last for long (as well as the opposite). Finally, since political and economic institutions reinforce each other, they are quite difficult to change, leading to what the authors call "the iron law of oligarchy." Needless to say, this really oversimplifies the analysis of institutions and history. While Acemoglu and Robinson give many, many historical examples to illustrate their thesis, some are more convincing than others. They use a huge mallet to hammer all the facts into their mold, either ignoring or re-interpreting contrary evidence.
I am no historian, but I do know the history of the region in which I live, Latin America, reasonably well.Read more ›
Their main thesis is "that while economic institutions are critical for determining whether a country is poor or prosperous, it is politics and political institutions that determine what economic institutions a country has" (page 43). That the right economic institutions are vital has long been recognized; what Acemoglu and Robinson do is emphasize the critical role of politics. They argue that an inclusive political system will allow for an inclusive economic system. Such a system provides incentives for people to acquire skills, work hard, save, invest, and, most importantly, innovate. In contrast, an extractive political system exists for the benefit of a narrow elite, and creates an extractive economic system. The masses cannot influence the political system, and have no incentives to exert themselves creating wealth that will be taken from them by the political elites. Extractive economic systems can achieve growth for a short while, but cannot achieve persistent growth. That is because they cannot generate significant technological change and because there will be infighting over the system's spoils.
The authors provide a wealth of historical examples from all over the world and from ancient to modern times. The numerous examples allow the authors to illustrate their ideas with concrete examples.Read more ›
However the book can be a bit of a maddening slog in order to find some enjoyable nuggets of information and/or wisdom. For sure, if one establishes a situation in which individuals have incentives to produce they will work harder. So, why is this concept not universally embraced, by corporations and countries? I once set up a "profit-sharing" program for workers in my company; it seemed to change attitudes, improved the operating efficiency and reduce waste. After I left, the owner immediately eliminated it, though he would pontificate on the needs for economic incentives for himself! His outlook was rigid: if he was "sharing" the profits with the workers, he was a loser, and the thought that he might have a slightly smaller percentage of a much bigger pie never entered his mind.Read more ›

Liver cancers are classified based on whether or not they can be completely removed (resected). Depending on the size and location of the tumor, it may be removed by partial or total surgery of the liver.
Surgery is used to diagnose, stage and treat cancer, and to manage certain cancer-related symptoms. At Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), our experienced surgeons have performed thousands of procedures and will discuss the surgical options that are best suited to your individual needs.
Whether a patient is a candidate for surgery or not depends on factors such as the type, size, location, grade and stage of the tumor, as well as general health factors such as age, physical fitness and other coexisting medical conditions the patient may have.
For many patients, surgery will be combined with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy or hormone therapy. These nonsurgical treatments may be administered before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) or after surgery (adjuvant therapy) to help prevent cancer growth, spread or recurrence.
Early in the treatment planning process, we plan for and proactively manage anticipated side effects from surgery. Our nutritionists, rehabilitation therapists and naturopathic clinicians work together with your surgical oncologist to support healing and quality of life. Our reconstructive surgeons perform procedures to restore the body's appearance and function when needed, at the time of surgery or following surgery.

As Michael S. Ratkiewicz (notice the first three letters of his last name?) told me, under Nebraska's "at will employment", the company doesn't need a reason to fire, terminate at will or release a driver. On the side of that though, as an "at will" employer state, the driver can terminate their employment relationship with K & B Transportation at will as well. There isn't any notice required. Hey K & B, you can't have it all your way.
As to the DAC report, just as credit reports are required to be accurate, so do reporting companies like DAC. If K & B put false information on your DAC report, thereby barring you from employment in your chosen line of work, then you should consult an attorney and bring a civil action against them. At the very least, you should contact your state's Attorney General's office and tell them what happened, along with your elected officials.

London boroughs see 'affordable rent' legal challenge dismissed
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Local Government
London boroughs see 'affordable rent' legal challenge dismissed
London boroughs have vowed to continue their fight for lower rents in new, affordable housing after a High Court judge today dismissed their attempt to go against the Mayor of London by imposing lower rent limits.
Islington, Camden, Brent, Enfield, Greenwich, Lambeth, Southwark, Hackney and Tower Hamlets councils had challenged Boris Johnson's plan to allow 'affordable rents' in new housing to be set at up to 80% of the market rate.
The nine councils argued that they should be allowed to set lower rent limits in new affordable housing – since rents at anywhere close to 80% of market levels would be unaffordable for many local people in London. Until now, councils have been able to insist on social rents that are typically around 30% to 40% of market level in inner London.
In a judgment handed down today, the Honourable Mrs Justice Lang DBE said: "All parties agree that more affordable rented housing is needed in London, at levels below 80% of market value, but they disagree about how best to realise this aim."
She ruled that the mayor had acted within his power, and that the Mayor's Plan leaves it open to boroughs to fight for lower rents on individual developments, particularly in developments that are not funded by the mayor.
Cllr James Murray, executive member for housing and development for Islington Council, which led the legal challenge on behalf of the boroughs, said: "There is a need right across London to keep rents down in new affordable housing so that people on low incomes can actually afford it.
"We took this case to the High Court because we wanted to be able to set lower rents limits across the board, and so we are disappointed that this judgement may make it harder to do that. But the judgement does recognise that boroughs can keep fighting for lower rent levels in individual developments, particularly where there's no funding from the mayor, and so it looks like there will be many more battles to come.
"Unless we fight for lower rents, the mayor's higher rents will price many local people, especially families on low and medium incomes and vulnerable people, out of large areas of London. The mayor's higher rents are totally wrong for our city."
Cllr Pete Robbins, Lambeth's Cabinet member for Housing, said: "This is very disappointing but Lambeth council will continue to fight to ensure that 'affordable rent' housing is genuinely affordable to ordinary families. If we don't, then many people will simply be priced out of London."
The Mayor of London's proposal applies to new affordable housing built in London. Existing council tenancies and the majority of housing association tenancies are unaffected.

The credit card company agreed to credit me back the charges but told me to contact these people to make them stop as credit cards do NOT pursue these criminals. !!!! Why not? Because they make money off it, too. Bank of America, folks.
When I called the "insurance company" they refused to talk to me unless I gave them personal information beyond what my credit card companies EVER have asked me. I refused. They would not remove me, discuss it. They're going to continue charging me because they insist they are a reputable company and are not fraudulent.
These people, ALL OF THEM, need to go to jail. Now.

[[WMG: The Ultimate!Spiderman Dimension is more akin to our world than the Amazing!Spiderman Dimension]]
To me, the A!SD seems more like a retroistic dimension (the way the levels are with its grainy cel shading adds to this too) while the makers have said the U!SD is based more like modern day comics. It would also be why Kraven is based more on his older incarnation than the currently ressurected version in the mainstream Earth-616 of Marvel Comics.
* Probably because the Ultimate Spiderman comics have always reflected a more modern feel than Amazing? This isn't WMG so much as straight fact.
[[WMG: The Ultimate levels are in continuity with the Ultimate Video Game]]
Because Parker's got to still be alive somewhere, Dammit!
[[WMG: By that same token, the Amazing levels are continuations of ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheNewAnimatedSeries'' ]]
By virtue of "Same voice actor"
[[WMG: And by THAT token, the Amazing world in the DS version]]
is in-continuity with WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan, and presumably, VideoGame/SpiderManEdgeOfTime.

The match was tied at two penalty kicks apiece courtesy of Racing's Jonathan Wisniewski and Clermont's Brock James with less than 20 minutes remaining, but the visitors then lost prop Raphael Chume to the sin-bin and tired legs fell prey to late pressure from the home side.
Wisniewski kicked another two penalties to seal the victory which leaves Racing seventh in the table with four points on Perpignan, who bested Clermont last time out.
Clermont remain second, but are six points behind league leaders Toulon who have a game in hand, as do third-placed Toulouse who can overtake them with victory at Agen on Saturday.

John McCainJohn McCainJohn McCain: No longer a profile in courage Senate Dems' campaign arm knocks GOP for Trump support New study. Space, security, and Congress MORE (R-Ariz.) of betraying the GOP, according to a report in The Arizona Republic.
The conservative faction says McCain has had a "long and terrible record of drafting, co-sponsoring and voting for legislation best associated with liberal Democrats."
The resolution accuses McCain of promoting the idea of "amnesty" in efforts to legislate comprehensive immigration reform in Congress. The measure also criticizes McCain for not joining the campaign to defund ObamaCare in October, which led to the government shutdown.
Supporters must collect hundreds of signatures for the resolution to be debated or voted on at the meeting on Saturday in Tempe, Schwartz told the local paper.
Just two weeks ago, the GOP's arm in Arizona's Maricopa County approved the resolution 1,150 to 351.
"He voted to raise the debt ceiling against Republican principles; he wanted to fund ObamaCare. The list is long. He's always working with liberal Democrats and not with people in his own party," Schwartz told the CBS affiliate.

Join us at the bridgeJanuary 23,2013
Exxon Mobil is coming to Vermont.
Despite denials, there is no doubt that oil companies are quietly moving forward with a previous plan called Trailbreaker which would pump tar sands oil all the way from Alberta to Montreal to Portland, Maine.
From Montreal to Portland the tar sands oil would flow through an existing oil pipeline through the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and the North Country of New Hampshire and past Sebago Lake in Maine. An existing oil pipeline in Vermont? Who knew?
Wait, its worse. The pipeline crosses numerous rivers and streams, goes by Victory Bog, and its 60 years old. The owners of the pipeline (the parent company is Exxon Mobil) were cited by federal regulators in 2009 for failure to properly maintain the pipeline. So.
On Wednesday, Jan. 23, at noon on the bridge over the Connecticut River on Route 2 near Lancaster, N.H., delegations from Vermont and New Hampshire will join hands over the river for a peaceful protest against tar sands oil. The pipeline is 100 yards downstream from the bridge, and upstream from half of New England.
Will you join us? For more info see www.tarsandsfreene.org, or on Facebook.
See you on the bridge.

Updated March 26th 2016: Jump Desktop 7.0 for Android has been released to the Google Play store. Please update to 7.0 on your Android device and update to Jump Desktop Connect - it should resolve any issue you're hitting.

Jump Desktop Support October 23, 2015 • 8 • Troubleshooting
If you've updated to Jump Desktop 7.0 for iOS or Jump Desktop 6.0 for Mac, then you might have trouble connecting to computers running an older version of the automatic setup component. To fix this please make sure you upgrade the remote computers to the new Jump Desktop Connect app. Jump Desktop Connect replaces the older automatic setup component and updating to it should fix all connectivity issues with Jump Desktop 7.x for iOS and Jump Desktop 6.x for Mac. To update the remote computer simply visit https://jumpdesktop.com/go on the remote computer and follow the instructions there.
Android users: If you're connecting to your computers using Jump Desktop for Android please do not update to Jump Desktop Connect yet. There is a known issue with the current Android production release - we'll be releasing a new update for Android soon that resolves the issue with Jump Desktop Connect.
A little more information: In Sept 2015 we released Jump Desktop 7.0 for iOS and Jump Desktop 6.0 for Mac with a complete rewrite of how automatic connections work. In addition to this we also released a new automatic setup component called Jump Desktop Connect that replaces the old automatic setup component going forward. Please update your remote PCs and Macs to Jump Desktop Connect ASAP as we've dropped support for the older automatic setup components.
The new Jump Desktop Connect app does everything the old automatic setup component did and has these additional features:
You can now give multiple users access to the same computer. Previously you had to share the same account between all users. It's much simpler now - just add each user's account to Jump Desktop Connect on the remote computer. Very useful for tech support or when multiple family members / co-workers need access to the same computer.
Truly unlimited number of computers per account. Virtually limitless number of computers can now be managed using the same account (previously we were limited to Google's 10 login limit per account).
Connect from places where Google is blocked: Surprisingly Google is blocked in a lot of places: Schools, offices, all of China. Well you don't need to worry about it anymore, because we don't use Google servers!
Doesn't require a Google account anymore. You can sign up and login using any old email address.
Stronger encryption
Auto updates in the background: The latest and greatest version without needing to manually log in and apply updates - unless of-course you enjoy manually updating Jump on all your computers, in which case you can disable automatic updates.
And also: Fluid Remote Desktop...
