The Victoria and Albert Museum's collections span two thousand years of art in virtually every medium, from many parts of the world, and visitors to the museum encounter a treasure house of amazing and beautiful objects. The Museum was established in 1852, following the enormous success of the Great Exhibition the previous year. Its founding principle was to make works of art available to all, to educate working people and to inspire British designers and manufacturers.
The Museum's ceramics, glass, textiles, dress, silver, ironwork, jewellery, furniture, sculpture, paintings, prints and photographs now span the cultures of Europe, North America, Asia and North Africa, and date from ancient times to the present day.
Although the V&A's collections are international in their scope, they contain many particularly important British works - especially British silver, ceramics, textiles and furniture.
Part of the RIBA Trust's British Architecture Library, a Designated Collection of national importance, is on display at this museum.
The collection provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of architecture. It is fundamental to the study of architecture in Britain and is nationally and internationally significant.

From Suffragette teapots to protest robots, this exhibition will be the first to examine the powerful role of objects in movements for social change.

Disobedient Objects will focus on the period from 1980 to the present, a time that has brought new technologies and political challenges. On display will be arts of rebellion from around the world that illuminate the role of making in grassroots movements for social change: finely woven banners; defaced currency; changing designs for barricades and blockades; political video games; an inflatable general assembly to facilitate consensus decision-making; experimental activist-bicycles; and textiles bearing witness to political murders.

This re-hang of the permanent display shows works by key figures of photographic history and includes an insight into some of the V&A's first staff photographers, such as Charles Thurston Thompson and Isabel Agnes Cowper. The display also showcases a number of exciting new acquisitions made through the generosity of the Photographs Acquisition Group, including work by Ori Gersht, Darren Harvey-Regan and Denis Brihat.

DISPLAY: Architects as Artists
- 13 August 2014 — 29 March 2015 *on now
DISPLAY: Why do architects create art? From the Renaissance to the 20th century architects have recorded buildings for study and pleasure, to document their travels and supplement their income. Drawing was also considered an important tool to educate students in their knowledge of historic buildings, and necessary to prepare presentation drawings for clients.
Yet some architects go further, imbuing their drawings with beauty and imagination. This display examines how making art has contributed to architects' practice, and how architects' training has informed their art.

DISPLAY: The Lost Art of Writing
- 13 August 2014 — 19 April 2015 *on now
DISPLAY: 'Beautiful Writing pleases everyone, it makes one sought after,' explained the French writer Père Gregoire Martin in 1761. Having a fine writing hand was not only a useful skill but the sign of an educated and genteel person
This small display in the Metalware gallery explores some of the objects used in writing, from a medieval penner to an ingenious 18th century globe inkstand and a pen rest designed by the architect Alfred Waterhouse. These objects, made to serve the art of writing, have been displaced by the new virtual world of icons and toolbars.

DISPLAY: An unconventional and adventurous artist, Simon Carroll produced some of the most singular and extraordinary ceramics of recent years.
Characterised by extremes in the handling of clay and by bold and vigorous mark-making, his pottery has an affinity with abstract expressionism. The first retrospective of Carroll's work, the display provides a celebration of the artist's life and creativity following his untimely death in 2009 at the age of 45.

DISPLAY: Rapid Response Collecting
- 14 August 2014 — 15 January 2015 *on now
DISPLAY: Rapid Response Collecting is a new strand to the V&A's collecting activity. Objects are collected in response to major moments in history that touch the world of design and manufacturing. The display, which will constantly change, shows how design reflects and defines how we live together today.
Ranging from Christian Louboutin shoes in five shades of 'nude'; a cuddly toy wolf used as an object of political dissent; to the world's first 3D-printed gun, each new acquisition raises a different question about globalisation, popular culture, political and social change, demographics, technology, regulation or the law.

EXHIBITION: Horst: Photographer of Style
- 6 September 2014 — 4 January 2015 *on now
EXHIBITION: This autumn the V&A will present the definitive retrospective of the work of Horst P. Horst (1906-99), one of the 20th century's master photographers. In a career that spanned six decades, Horst photographed the exquisite creations of couturiers such as Chanel, Schiaparelli and Vionnet in 1930s Paris, and helped to launch the careers of many models. In New York a decade later, he experimented with early colour techniques and his meticulously composed, artfully lit images leapt from the magazine page.
The exhibition will display Horst's best known photographs alongside unpublished and rarely exhibited vintage prints, conveying the diversity of his output, from surreal still lifes to portraits of Hollywood stars, nudes and nature studies to documentary pictures of the Middle East. It will examine his creative process through the inclusion of original contact sheets, sketches and archive film footage.

The course will examine case studies on ancient Athens and Rome, medieval visions of the city, Renaissance Florence, Rome and the Baroque, Paris and Impressionism, Berlin and the inter-war period, New York and the Abstract Expressionists, as well as considering the development of the art world and artistic communities in cities such as London and Barcelona.

Scandinavian Art and Design: 1850 - 1950
- 23 September 2014 — 18 November 2015 *on now
Discover some of the highlights of a period during which painters, sculptors and designers in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland achieved a leading place in European art.
The late 19th-century saw an upsurge in artistic creativity across the Nordic region. With painters like Edvard Munch and Vilhelm Hammershøi winning international prominence and notoriety, Scandinavian artists and designers were also in the vanguard of a movement to revive the traditional crafts and raise their status as objects of aesthetic value.
In the process they achieved international acclaim: from the silverware of Georg Jensen in Denmark to the furniture of Alvar Aalto in Finland, Scandinavia won a place at the vanguard of modern design, and moved from the periphery to the centre of the European art world.

High Renaissance to Baroque: 1500 – 1720
- 24 September 2014 — 8 July 2015 *on now
(over 3 terms), 11.10-15.30
Explore the art, architecture and decorative arts of Europe from the High Renaissance to Baroque, focusing on Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands and England. It will include the work of some of Europe's most celebrated artists and architects, such as Michelangelo, Bernini, Wren, Rembrandt and van Dyck. During this period the Renaissance filtered through from Italy, affecting all the arts.
The invention of printing meant that books and prints reached a new and wider audience, and quickly popularised new styles. At the same time the Reformation wrought havoc with the established order and a century of war and revolution followed. In some parts of Europe iconoclasm meant the destruction of religious art, and by the mid 17th century Europe was divided into Roman Catholic and Protestant states.
The course examines changes in patronage, with the rise of a prosperous middle class wanting portraits and genre paintings as well as consumer goods such as maiolica and textiles; it considers the effect of wars and economic policies on the production of art, metalwork and furniture, and the influence of trading voyages on imports of luxury goods from the East.

Italian Villas: Ancient Rome to The Renaissance
- 14 October 2014 — 3 March 2015 *on now
This two-term course will trace the development of villas and villeggiatura – the ruling classes' 'good life' in the country from Ancient Rome to the end of the Renaissance.
The first term will lay out the historical and literary foundations of villa culture in Antiquity and will consider archaeological evidence, such as Nero's Golden House and Hadrian's villa in Tivoli. Then with the disintegration of the Roman Empire villa culture disappeared, only to re-emerge in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, with the Medici in Florence leading the revival of villa building, garden design and country living in a Classical spirit.
The second term will study villeggiatura in the sixteenth-century, focusing on the Veneto and on the Roman Campagna.

LUNCHTIME LECTURE: A sleeping dog from Venice: the meaning of a Personal Favourite from the Gilbert Collection
- 3 December 2014 1-1:45pm
LUNCHTIME LECTURE: One of the most endearing works featured in the V&A current display Personal Favourites is a Venetian silver bowl from around 1480 with the image of a sleeping dog.
The whippet-like creature is curled up at the centre of the bowl and would only have been visible when the bowl was emptied.
Unsurprisingly dog and bowl captured the attention of collectors Arthur and Rosalinde Gilbert who were keen dog lovers themselves.
In this lunchtime lecture V&A curator Heike Zech will explore the imagery of the sleeping dog against the backdrop of the long-standing symbolism of dogs in decorative and fine arts in early modern times

The Shock of the New: The History of the Avant-Garde in Art and Design
- 13 January — 24 March 2015
Originally used to describe the vanguard of an advancing army, the term Avant-Garde now defines a group of artists or writers whose work is innovative and ahead of its time.
It is most often associated with figures such as Picasso, Duchamp and Dali, the pioneers of Cubism and Dada, who not only developed revolutionary approaches to art, but who were also strongly anti-establishment. Today, however, the term has become ubiquitous and virtually anyone, from pop-stars to hair-dressers can be described as avantgarde.
This course investigates the origins and history of the principal movements and individuals associated with the avant-garde. From Impressionism to Surrealism, Modernism to Abstract Expressionism and Futurism to Conceptual Art, it examines key works and ideas in art, design and architecture. It also includes the work of the Russian constructivists in theatre and film to coincide with the V&A's major display Russian Avant-Garde Theatre: War Revolution and Design.

The Classical World and Classical Revivals
- 13 January — 24 March 2015
The civilisations of Ancient Greece and Rome have provided a seemingly inexhaustible source of inspiration for European art, design and architecture from the 15th-century right up to the present day. This course celebrates the opening of the V&A's outstanding new galleries – Europe 1600-1800 – by exploring the key elements of Classicism, and their re-interpretation and revival in later times.
The first part of the course examines the cultural highlights of the Classical world, including Homeric myths and their representation in sculpture and vase-painting, the architecture of Athens and Rome, and the rich decoration and furnishings revealed at Herculaneum and Pompeii.
In the second half we investigate the ways in which classical themes, motifs, architecture and styles have been re-discovered - first in Italy in the 1500s, and later in France, Britain and Germany in the 18th and 19th-centuries - and have been re-worked in painting, decoration, architecture and design in Renaissance, Baroque and Neo-Classical styles.

Land of Hope and Glory: Culture, Conflict and the Edwardians
- 14 January — 11 March 2015
Following the success of last year's course we are offering an extended and more detailed review of the Edwardian period, an era that witnessed wild extravagance alongside severe poverty, and radical changes in politics, culture and society.
Often perceived as a golden age of long summer afternoons and elegant entertainments and parties, the period was also strongly marked by modernity and the avant-garde. Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau dominated modern design and architecture, Post-Impressionism led the field in modern art, and aeroplanes, ships, and trains brought goods from all over the world.
The course explores the work of the main artists, designers and architects – including Charles Rennie Mackintosh, John Singer Sargent, Edwin Lutyens, Walter Sickert and the Bloomsbury Group - within this brief but brilliant age. And incorporates new topics including sessions on Empire, sculpture, department stores, music, eminent public figures and women, and the forces leading up to WW1.

Individual sessions will consider the history and progress of each project, the planning and materials, the relationship with the client, and the furniture and decorations.
They will also ask what makes each building so groundbreaking and radical for its time, and consider the case for preserving them, unchanged, for posterity. Speakers include historians, curators and architects.

The Dutch Golden Age: 17th Century Art and Design
- 16 April — 25 June 2015
This course explores Dutch art and society in the Golden Age – the time of Vermeer, Hals and Rembrandt.
This young Dutch Republic emerged as a global power during the Eighty Years War with Spain. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) was founded in 1602, followed by the West India Company (WIC) in 1621. Global trade brought unprecedented riches to local merchants whose portraits show them in all their finery, often in lavish domestic settings. It also brought a wealth of exotic imports to the country, which we find back in interior genre scenes painted by De Hooch, Metsu and Steen. Imported porcelain inspired the development of local tin-glazed pottery known as Delftware, while the design of oriental ceramics was in turn influenced by European taste.
In a period also noted for its sculpture, tapestries and carved tables, this course investigates the artists and practitioners associated with this great cultural flowering.

From Word to Image and Back Again: Iconography and Symbolism in Medieval Art
- 20 April — 22 June 2015
8 WEEK COURSE: Through the long period of the Middle Ages a repertory of images developed. Drawn from Christian and Romantic texts, they were formulated in response to the conceptual significance of each text.
In the process, for example, wise men became kings, Christ came to be crucified on a tree, and the serpent in Eden was endowed with the face of a woman. The process was continuous and protean, reflecting changing preoccupations in contemporary society, but always underpinned by key biblical, liturgical, devotional and hagiographic texts on the one hand and widely circulated tales from chivalric romance on the other. This course will explore these developments thematically.
We will work closely with key texts, and will consider the contexts which had a bearing on iconographic development. Although we can never fully understand the significance of medieval imagery, the course will attempt to move a little closer to the mindsets of the Middle Ages.

Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese Company is issuing a voluntary recall for three specialty cheese products while regulatory agencies continue a multi-state investigation of Listeria monocytogenes. This organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The products recalled are:
These products were distributed nationwide through retail and foodservice outlets as well as by mail orders.
Crave Brothers was informed by regulatory agencies of an ongoing investigation related to potential health risks associated with Listeria monocytogenes. The company immediately ceased the production and distribution of the products.
"We are cooperating with the regulatory agencies' ongoing investigation of the cause of the potential health risks," said George Crave, president.
Consumers who have purchased any of these products are urged not to consume them. They can return the cheese to the place of purchase for a full refund or discard it. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 920-478-4887, Monday-Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.

I personally think MoP is the best expansion yet. That said, a couple of things that I felt was better before:
1) An awesome launch event like WotLK.
I was still lowbie when that happened and though I couldn't really go about unharmed in the major cities for a brief period of time, it was epic and very awesome.
2) The sense of social cohesiveness in-game.
With the advent of 10man and 25man raiding on the same playing field, a lot of people have gone on an exodus from 25man guilds to form up smaller 10man guilds. While every one is entitled to play the mode they wish, I find that 10man raiding guilds are much more vulnerable to break up if one core player has to leave the game. I find there's much less of a community to fall back on in 10man raiding guilds, and that gives players less to log in for. I miss the 'local' community that 25man guilds brought to players.

Last week on Flashback Friday we gave you a roundup of the best #throwbackthursday pics from Instagram and Twitter and today we've got another great selection. The fashion industry's finest, from international supermodels to top designers as well as pop stars and actors have all got involved with the hashtag since it first started by sharing snaps of themselves when they were, shall we say, slightly less polished.
Not that you need a reason to smile on a Friday afternoon, but here at Grazia Daily, we like to spoil you rotten. So scroll through the gallery above and take a guess at which stars feature this week and have a giggle at their dodgy haircuts and retro ensembles along the way. Here's a clue, the line-up this week includes a Victoria's Secret Angel, a '90s boyband, a reality TV star (or two) and Hollywood's most famous family.
We hope you enjoy matching the famous names to their flashback photos. Be our guest.

As you may have seen in recent news, a major vulnerability has been exposed in OpenSSL, a popular web encryption software used widely across the internet. This vulnerability – dubbed Heartbleed – makes it possible for hackers to access information transmitted from your computer even though it is being encrypted via the HTTPS protocol.
Data privacy and security is of the utmost importance to us. Here's some information about how Carbonite has been affected by Heartbleed, and what – if any – steps our users need to take. Carbonite Personal and Pro are unaffected
Carbonite Personal and Pro subscriptions do not use the affected encryption software. Your personal data was never at risk. With Carbonite's Personal and Pro subscriptions, your data is protected by the following safeguards: Encryption: Your data is encrypted while on your computer and securely transmitted to our data centers, where it stays encrypted. Data centers: Our state-of-the-art data centers are guarded 24/7, employ temperature control and biometric scanners, and have backup generators in the event of a power disruption. Third-party compliance audit: We recently completed a six-month audit with an outside firm to ensure all of our practices meet the strict federal guidelines of HIPAA and SOC 2. The external auditor found that we met or exceeded the requirements.
If any of your other online vendors has been impacted by Heartbleed and you use the same password as you do for Carbonite, we recommend changing both passwords. Your Carbonite password should only be used for our service, and data security best practices state that a password should be at least 10 characters, with capital letters, numbers and symbols. Carbonite Sync & Share and Server backup are affected
We are using the affected software for Carbonite Sync & Share and Carbonite Server backup. Carbonite has not experienced any signs of exploitation as a result of this widespread internet vulnerability, and we have taken immediate steps to remediate the vulnerability and obtain new encryption certificates. These two steps provide full resolution of this issue, however to ensure you are fully protected, we recommend you change your Carbonite password. We are currently in the process of obtaining new security certificates, and will send an email to all Sync & Share and Carbonite Server backup users when it's been completed so they can change their passwords.
There are more than 23 million small businesses in the US. They provide us with things like coffee every morning, dry-cleaned clothes, legal representation, preventative healthcare and tax prep. Take a peek into their lives, and thank a small business owner for all they do today! (Hugs are good too.)
You can't count the number of times you've heard the phrase "Wears many hats. But you know it's way more than the number of hats you have – metaphorically and in your closet.
Vacation – what's that?! You can't remember the last time you made it through an entire vacation without checking in with the office, reading emails or making business calls. Maybe when you retire.
It drives you crazy when people say, "But you're your own boss! How hard can that be?" If it was this easy, everyone would run their own business.
You're a networking machine. Whether it's catching up with the president of the Chamber of Commerce at the post office or running into a potential client at dinner, you always stop to have a word (or 500). How else are you supposed to know what's going on in your community and industry?!
You're a planner. A good business plan is a work of art – and you aim to be Van Gogh.
You're part of the backbone of America – thank you for all that you do!
Last week, our Brand Director, Ali, shared the details of our site redesign. We hope you've had a chance to look around and – more importantly, we hope you like what you see!
Our site was redesigned to assist our customers with all things business continuity; our revamped business plans put the pro in professional and our new server plans serve all your data protection needs. Rest assured, Carbonite still offers the same simple, automatic backup for your personal computer, home office or small business – but we've added some great features to ensure that our plans are covering all your bases! As we've talked to more and more business owners who are backing up with us, we've gotten some important insights into what businesses want and need. And we've incorporated that feedback into designing our new plans.
Check out the details:
Pro Starting at $269.99 per year, our HIPAA-compliant Pro plans will back up the financial data, healthcare records and other crucial business files on all of your business's workstations. See how we stack up against the competition. Server You can now back up all of your databases and live applications – like Exchange, SQL & Oracle – starting at just $799.99 per year. And just like our Pro plans, our Server options can help your business keep up with HIPAA compliance. Our server plans also boast the fastest speeds around!
Appliance Fast backups and restores and minimal downtime in the event of a disaster are two critical pieces to all business continuity plans. With the new Carbonite appliance, images of your business's servers are saved on-site and in the cloud.
Sync & Share Accessing your data is just as important as protecting it and work doesn't always end when you leave the office. So we've added Sync & Share to all of our plans, arming you with the ability to access, edit and share documents with your colleagues and collaborators – even if they aren't Carbonite customers!
We hope these updates make your life easier when it comes to chosing the right plan for your needs. And if you're already backing up your business with us, our added features will continue to provide peace of mind, knowing your data protected and your business has the power to stay up and running. Stay tuned because there's more to come!
From technology to our website (like our new look?!), a lot has changed since we started backing up, back in 2005! But one thing has always remained constant for us: understanding the importance of protecting what matters. We were founded around a dining room table after our CEO's daughter lost a semester's worth of work, and our co-founder's wife lost a laptop full of pictures.
Now we're helping our customers save so much more than memories and homework. We're backing up files, folders and servers. We're helping businesses reduce downtime after a disaster. Over the years, we've found that we're able to help our customers by understanding what's important to them, and offering solutions that are easy, automatic and affordable.
Along with our new site design and new plans is an all new blog! Not only do we have your backup, but we've also got your back when it comes to all things business. So stay tuned, because we'll be sharing tips, tricks and expert advice to keep your small business up-to-date on tech trends.
No matter the industry, when your home is your office, you're often an IT professional too! Our recent survey shows that, from saving time and money to utilizing new technologies to streamlining operations, employing cloud solutions greatly benefits small businesses.
Almost all small businesses are actually using the cloud in some capacity, but nearly half of our respondents thought they were working without it. So it's no surprise that 8 out of 10 respondents admitted they aren't using the cloud to its full potential.
One of the best ways to employ the cloud at your small business is with automatic online backup.
If you're already using Carbonite, you know the cloud is brings benefits with automatic, offsite backup. But did you know that with our Anytime, Anywhere Access feature, the cloud can do even more? From anytime, anywhere access, to restoring lost or deleted files, the cloud acts as an amazing personal assistant whose got your back(up).
Check out this infographic to learn more about work from home trends, visit our Small Business Hub for articles about efficiency and productivity.
Symantec is discontinuing Backup Exec.cloud next month, and we have a special offer to keep your business protected.
Current Backup Exec.cloud customers who switch to Carbonite will receive the equivalent of their Backup Exec.cloud subscription for free! Contact our Business Team at firstname.lastname@example.com or 855-227-2249 to redeem this special offer!
How do Carbonite plans compare to Backup Exec.cloud?
Still need convincing? We know that your business has a need for speed, and Carbonite Server Backup is proven to be more than twice as fast as leading competitors. Check out the results for yourself!
When it comes to getting your critical files and databases backed up, we understand your business' need for speed. And we're excited to announce that Carbonite Server Backup has been tested and proven to be the fastest among leading competitors!
The Tolly Group tested Carbonite Server Backup against Mozy Pro, CrashPlan Pro and SOS Online Backup using a 54.6GB dataset that included multimedia, office documents, compressed archives, web server data and system files and applications.

*Due to global deduplication, Mozy Pro was only able to complete one full backup and restore, while the others were each tested twice.
We're excited to offer server backup to our business customers, and we're thrilled that the Tolly results backed up what we already knew – our server solutions protect their valuable data so they can get back up and running as quickly in the event of data loss or disruption!
Lately, we're sharing a lot of news about moving faster! Last week we announced that we've eliminated our throttling policy, increasing bandwidth (allowing for a faster back up experience for our customers) and now we're thrilled to share that we've earned a spot on Deloitte's Fast 500 list for another year!
The Fast 500 ranks North America's fastest growing companies and we're proud to be included on the list, alongside 36 of our Boston-area neighbors!
Want to learn more about the fast-growing, innovative companies that made the cut? Check out the winners' brochure or following the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag #Fast500.
We know that your data is precious, and that you want it backed up to the safety of the cloud as quickly as possible. So now we're making your secure, automatic backup even better!
We're excited to announce that we've eliminated our 200GB throttling cap and expanded our bandwidth capability!
Sure this sounds awesome, but what does this mean for you and your backup?
Well, we could explain how we've responded to our customers' feedback by removing the 200GB throttling cap in a few paragraphs here, but in the spirit of things going faster – check out this video!
By backing up your files, you've already taken an important step in protecting your computer – but there are threats beyond data loss that you can prepare for.
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that is developed to disrupt or damage a computer system. It can appear in a number of ways, and can be used to gather private information, delete data or even lock people out of their own files. According to Kaspersky Labs, there are more than 200,000 new malware threats per day!
One such malware, Cryptolocker, has been making the internet rounds over the past several weeks. The software is called "ransomware," as it encrypts the files on infected computers so users can't access them. When someone tries to open a file on a computer infected with this malware, they are alerted that they must pay $300 for their files to be unencrypted so they can access them. Deleting the malware or refusing to pay the ransom will leave their files encrypted. Spiceworks has a great overview of the issue.
As your trusted partner in data protection, we at Carbonite want to ensure that our customers are aware of these threats and know how to prevent them from infecting their computers and servers. Here are some tips that can help you avoid malware and other types of viruses:
These are just a few tips that can help you avoid the headaches and other negative effects of malware. Safe (internet) surfing!
The end of August sure crept up on us! We can't believe it's already time to head back to school! As you fill the backpacks with new laptops, tablets and smartphones, keep these back-to-school tech tips in mind. They take less than 10 minutes, but can save your family hours and dollars down the road:
Cloud Backup: Backing up to the cloud protects your important files so you can get them back if your computer crashes or is stolen, and with our mobile app files are accessible from the dorm, the campus library and on the go!

1 Billy Breathes
1 Rift
1 A Picture of Nectar
Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1998 Summer U.S. Tour."
punch opens this one up nicely. page and trey work well in the intro. the band really get it going early in this show with a very strong bathtub gin 2 songs deep in the show. trey and page work back and forth beautifully in this one too. you know, just another great '98 bt gin. the rest of this set is well-paced, has good flow, good song selection, and has some good energy. the set closing bowie really works.
ac/dc bag opens the 2nd set in fine form. as they start working through the bag jam, they start to hit on some really nice sabbath/electric funeral licks. good stuff. i felt that the middle of this set is a little up and down. sparkle is nice and high energy, but it's not the most exciting tune, imo. antelope is nice and firey, but they really kill any momentum with brian and robert, waste, and somewhere over the rainbow. yem picks it back up. gordon sounds good in this one. frankenstein appears poised to close this one down, but they drop chalk dust and hello my baby. then they come out for the encore. as trey strums the opening of terrapin station, the crowd erupts. the whole band really nails this one. page has some really nice moments mixed in here but when it comes time for the "big terrapin climax riff," trey hits a homerun. what a tribute!
all in all, i would say this is a fairly missable show. the gin in the first set is really strong; the rest of that set is pretty solid. ac/dc bag shines to open the set, but the whole middle section of the 2nd set is a touch dull. they bring it home by the end though. if it weren't for the encore, i would say that without a doubt, I would take the merriweather show from the night before, but you know, they played terrapin at this show. hmm, i still probably would take the merriweather show.... bigger jams and you still get sabotage! solid show in VA Beach though with an excellent terrapin station
set 1:
gin, moma dance, bowie
set 2:
ac/dc bag, antelope, yem, terrapin station

My lil one has had some issues with gas lately. Seems it makes her scream at times. She is a very happy baby, so when she cries hard I know there is something wrong. I heard about gripe water through a few friends. I was willing to try anything to relieve my lil one's pain. Purchase a bottle at Rite Aid. First dose worked like a miracle!!!! Being so pleased with the outcome of Baby Bliss Gripe Water, I immediately searched for the cheapest place to buy it. Found the Iherb website in which I ordered from before. They had it in stock. I ordered 2 bottles and had them shipped. It cost me almost the same as it did for 1 bottle at Rite Aid!! Very pleased with Iherb. Shipped so quickly!!! Highly recommend this website and product!!!

My baby doesnt have colic but I got this in hopes to make him feel better while teething. I dont know if it stops the pain but it greatly cheers him up just seeing the bottle. He loves the taste and it calms him right down.

Baby's Bliss gripe water is an absolute livesaver when my son has gas or is constipated. I mix the suggested amount with a diluted solution of Chamomile (1 part tea to 8 parts water). My son loves the taste (he refuses Wellements brand) and it works wonders to move things through . I buy it three bottles at a time!
