CROSBY AND NASH
One Night Only

A Special Performance Benefiting the children of Five Acres, exclusively at The Pasadena Playhouse

Legendary duo David Crosby and Graham Nash will perform a special 90-minute concert at 7 pm on Sunday, Aug. 25, 2013 at The Pasadena Playhouse to raise critical funds for the nonprofit organization, Five Acres. Crosby and Nash will break from their world tour for one night only in celebration of Five Acres’ 125th anniversary and the critical work the social services agency provides to over 6,500 children and families in crisis each year. This exclusive concert is open to the general public with proceeds benefiting Five Acres’ Permanency Fund – to ensure the agency’s long-term commitment to children and families in crisis.

About Five Acres:
Five Acres is a pioneer in providing successful solutions that ensure safety, well-being and permanency for children and their families. Founded in 1888 as one of Los Angeles County’s first orphanages, Five Acres has been committed to preserving effective programs and developing more effective prevention services for children and families in crisis. Services include: residential care and education, a non-public WASC accredited school, mental health services in homes and schools, foster care and adoptions and domestic violence prevention. For more information, visit www.fiveacres.org or call 626-798-6793.

About David Crosby and Graham Nash:

As a duo, longtime creative partners David Crosby and Graham Nash bring out the best in each other, their distinct yet complementary styles balancing an equation that delivers a seamless and inspiring musical whole. Two-thirds and one-half, respectively, of Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, these Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are legendary for their airtight and crystal-clear vocal harmonies, as sublime when delivered by simply these two together as they are from the larger configurations. It is a sound that’s one of the true touchstones of the rock ‘n’ roll era. Native California David Crosby and England-born Graham Nash first met and 1968. Together, they generate a magic that transcends their individual resumes and they carry their legacy of timeless songwriter, indelible vocals and peerless harmonies into the future.

iPad Not Connecting to WiFi Verizon MiFi JetPack

If you have experienced issues connecting to a wifi/mifi hot spot and have resorted to reseting network settings, refreshing the settings, rebooting, everything short of backing up and restoring from factory settings. Well I have what may be a solution. After spending an hour or so on this I decided to refresh the JetPack 890 back to factory default, and that still didn’t work, so I decided lets see what happens if we change the SSID name to something else, maybe shorter, so I called it “Verizon-JetPack1” and then tried to connect and viola, it connected.

So simple changing the name of the WIFI SSID resolved the issue, on a WIFI I had never been able to connect to.
Strange but true.

Some users have reported that resetting the network settings fixes the issue of “Unable to Join” errors.

Other iPads could connect to the default SSID, but one was just not able to, it had been updated to the latest software, so that was not it.

If anyone else has experienced this it would be good to know.
