Amy Phillips' SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | Fri | SatG.O.O.D. Music Showcase featuring Kanye West, Common, Erykah Badu, Kid Cudi, Fonzworth Bentley, Mr. Hudson, Consequence, Really Doe, Big Sean, GLC, 88 Keys, and Malik Yusef [Levi's/Fader Fort; 9 p.m.]
Kanye West only moves forward. He doesn't have the time or patience to reflect. But a showcase for his label last night forced him to look in the rearview a little. The list of West-approved acts told the story of his progression, from old friends like A Tribe Called Quest affiliate Consequence to new charges including paranoid futurist Kid Cudi. More or less, the two-hour revolving-door set played chronologically. It was a mid-career retrospective filled with specters from the past, present, future.
The first half was dubious-- there are reasons why guest appearances on Kanye records haven't led to anything for the likes of Really Doe, GLC, and Malik Yusef. And West's own questionable engagement spoke volumes. He flubbed lyrics on "We Major" and "Diamonds From Sierra Leone", and on "Crack Music" he quit two lines into the first verse, admitting, "That's all I remember." He was unapologetic about these mistakes. That was then, before Kanye made stadium rap and wounded robot laments.
Things began to turn once Kid Cudi took the stage about halfway through. Cudi walked, rhymed, and sang like he deserved to be on the same stage as West. He looked like a partner more than a student while standing next to his famous booster. And when his "Lollipop"-gone-dark hit "Day 'N' Night" went into its hyper Crookers remix, the tent filled with fashion show Fader-ites clicked. The bonkers button had been hit. It only got better from there.
Common with Erykah Badu
Surprise guest Common strolled out in the wake of Cudi's applause and immediately took control-- even his new-school/old-school misfire "Universal Mind Control" sounded less-than-embarrassing. Kanye seemed relieved to be working with an equally seasoned performer after playing mentor for over an hour. Com can be eye-rollingly awkward and lame, but he takes the Master of Ceremonies thing seriously. He's best when lunging in front of a packed house. And when the two barreled into "Get 'Em High", this get-together at Fader's sponsored-out Wayfarer oasis became a SXSW Best in Show lock. While "High" is from West's 2004 debut, it was revamped into a massive superhero anthem worthy of the most gargantuan tracks off Graduation. Past, meet present. Kanye didn't drop any of the words on that one.
If that was it, people would have been happy. But that wasn't it. In the middle of "The Light" former Com flame Erykah Badu came out to do some hook work. Erykah is a force; even Kanye had to stand back in awe, smiling. The three then went into a crowd-pleasing (and fun!) freestyle session with Badu more than holding her own among her two professional rapper friends. At some point Kanye stood in between his guests, reveling in fan-dom. Com and Erykah's earthy presence seemed to bring out some warmth and empathy in West-- traits he banked on early in his career but has lost track of recently. So the next song, "Heartless"-- which rails against a defenseless ex-- seemed a bit off. But then Kanye added a new and telling addendum: "Did I make you heartless when I cheated on you." With that, he turned a one-sided bitch fest into something more honest and effective.
Kanye West
All the momentum fed into "Good Life", Kanye's most exuberant song amid a strong field. In the middle of that one, he once again dropped some words. But this time it wasn't due to a lack of interest-- Kanye is clearly still in love with "Good Life", a nightly highlight of his recent Glow in the Dark tour. He was still flying from the Common/Erykah moment, and huffed, "I got too excited, y'all." Totally understandable.

"He would like be mean like grab my wrists and slap my face I just didn't like the way he treated me," said Tyler when describing his experience with bullying.
Tyler started making anti-bullying bracelets to remind himself and others how hurtful bullying can be.
"I wanted to have a reminder of the bracelets to stop bullying," he said. "I think it's a bad thing because you can get hurt, you can get your feelings hurt."
Tyler's mom tells ABC4 it was painful to learn her son was being bullied.
"When he came to me and told me, obviously it broke my heart because as a parent you want to protect your kids and you can't be with them at school all the time," said Rachel Garcia.
Tyler and his mom tell ABC4 there are not a lot of school-based programs that educate kids on bullying. Tyler wants to change that. So he created "All Ty'd Up". He calls it a kid-run company that sells the bracelets for $6 and donates $1of the proceeds to anti-bullying programs in schools.
"When he gets an idea we don't doubt it because he will follow through and do what he says he's going to do," said Rachel.
Tyler's mom is proud of the way her son handled his bullying and how he now wants to help others. Tyler said he's just doing what needs to be done.
"It shouldn't be happening to kids," he said.

Latest FBI cyber 'recommendation' is an expansion of their entrapment operations

FBI: Hundreds Of Thousands May Lose Internet In July
04/20/2012 2:12 pm
WASHINGTON (AP) — For computer users, a few mouse clicks could mean the difference between staying online and losing Internet connections this summer.
Unknown to most of them, their problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of infected computers around the world. In a highly unusual response, the FBI set up a safety net months ago using government computers to prevent Internet disruptions for those infected users. But that system is to be shut down.
The FBI is encouraging users to visit a website run by its security partner,
, that will inform them whether they're infected and explain how to fix the problem. After July 9, infected users won't be able to connect to the Internet.
Most victims don't even know their computers have been infected, although the malicious software probably has slowed their web surfing and disabled their antivirus software, making their machines more vulnerable to other problems.
Last November, the FBI and other authorities were preparing to take down a hacker ring that had been running an Internet ad scam on a massive network of infected computers.
"We started to realize that we might have a little bit of a problem on our hands because ... if we just pulled the plug on their criminal infrastructure and threw everybody in jail, the victims of this were going to be without Internet service," said Tom Grasso, an FBI supervisory special agent. "The average user would open up Internet Explorer and get 'page not found' and think the Internet is broken."
On the night of the arrests, the agency brought in Paul Vixie, chairman and founder of Internet Systems Consortium, to install two Internet servers to take the place of the truckload of impounded rogue servers that infected computers were using. Federal officials planned to keep their servers online until March, giving everyone opportunity to clean their computers. But it wasn't enough time. A federal judge in New York extended the deadline until July.
Now, said Grasso, "the full court press is on to get people to address this problem." And it's up to computer users to check their PCs.
This is what happened:
Hackers infected a network of probably more than 570,000 computers worldwide. They took advantage of vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Windows operating system to install malicious software on the victim computers. This turned off antivirus updates and changed the way the computers reconcile website addresses behind the scenes on the Internet's domain name system.
The DNS system is a network of servers that translates a web address — such as
— into the numerical addresses that computers use. Victim computers were reprogrammed to use rogue DNS servers owned by the attackers. This allowed the attackers to redirect computers to fraudulent versions of any website.
The hackers earned profits from advertisements that appeared on websites that victims were tricked into visiting. The scam netted the hackers at least $14 million, according to the FBI. It also made thousands of computers reliant on the rogue servers for their Internet browsing.
When the FBI and others arrested six Estonians last November, the agency replaced the rogue servers with Vixie's clean ones. Installing and running the two substitute servers for eight months is costing the federal government about $87,000.
The number of victims is hard to pinpoint, but the FBI believes that on the day of the arrests, at least 568,000 unique Internet addresses were using the rogue servers. Five months later, FBI estimates that the number is down to at least 360,000. The U.S. has the most, about 85,000, federal authorities said. Other countries with more than 20,000 each include Italy, India, England and Germany. Smaller numbers are online in Spain, France, Canada, China and Mexico.
Vixie said most of the victims are probably individual home users, rather than corporations that have technology staffs who routinely check the computers.
FBI officials said they organized an unusual system to avoid any appearance of government intrusion into the Internet or private computers. And while this is the first time the FBI used it, it won't be the last.
"This is the future of what we will be doing," said Eric Strom, a unit chief in the FBI's Cyber Division. "Until there is a change in legal system, both inside and outside the United States, to get up to speed with the cyber problem, we will have to go down these paths, trail-blazing if you will, on these types of investigations."
Now, he said, every time the agency gets near the end of a cyber case, "we get to the point where we say, how are we going to do this, how are we going to clean the system" without creating a bigger mess than before.

Really? Trust the FBI to scan your computer? They'll copy the entire HD and maybe even leave something behind, perhaps key logging software. Seems like another way to destroy the 4'th amendment.
I know. If you have nothing to hide, blah blah blah. It's the principle, and this seems sketchy to me, to say the least.

Yeah it's hard to believe they're acting out of the goodness of their hearts. Sounds more like the plot of Deus Ex Human Revolution where everyone that received an implanted chip is told they need to get an upgrade to fix a "glitch" and the upgrade secretly implements a killswitch for all implanted people.

American ISPs to launch massive copyright spying scheme on July 12
By Stephen C. Webster
Thursday, March 15, 2012 11:14 EDT
If you download potentially copyrighted software, videos or music, your Internet service provider (ISP) has been watching, and theyre coming for you.
Specifically, theyre coming for you on Thursday, July 12.
Thats the date when the nations largest ISPs will all voluntarily implement a new anti-piracy plan that will engage network operators in the largest digital spying scheme in history, and see some users bandwidth completely cut off until they sign an agreement saying they will not download copyrighted materials.
Word of the start date has been largely kept secret since ISPs announced their plans last June. The deal was brokered by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and coordinated by the Obama Administration. The same groups have weighed in heavily on controversial Internet policies around the world, with similar facilitation by the Obamas Administrations State Department.
The July 12 date was revealed by the RIAAs CEO and top lobbyist, Cary Sherman, during a publishers conference on Wednesday in New York, according to technology publication CNet.

This is a boldfaced lie,(expansion of their entrapment operations). This has been SOP for the big dogs since Hoover.
The NET..Am I hallucinating or didn't Clinton advocate every American having a computer, totaly pushing the theme.
Its a hell of way to get into the lives and principles of the citizenry, it worked, or am I imagining this. Sure its a two edged sword, the truth is being revealed, their BS is exposed. The deal is due to this they been identifying and profiling for years all the time keenly aware ( human nature) that the majority are not interested in the truth if their comfort zone is not interupted.
I probably am off base here, but I can't help it, I smelled a rat in this long ago.

Brand Launches Longstanding 'Cones for Kids' Fundraiser to support Easter Seals Camp Friendly's
Chicago, January 5, 2009 - Celebrating 'Cones for Kids' 28th year, Friendly Ice Cream Corporation today launches its annual Valentine's Day fundraiser to benefit local Easter Seals Camp programs. The 2009 campaign goal to raise more than $1 million will benefit approximately 28 Easter Seals Camp Friendly's Program locations.
Since 1981, 'Cones for Kids' has been a winter tradition up-and-down the East Coast. Each year, employees across the restaurant chain help change the lives of thousands of children with disabilities through their efforts — raising $25.2 million to date; more than $619,000 in 2008 alone.
Friendly's provides restaurant guests with 5 Valentine's Day cards, redeemable for free Friendly's Kid Cones plus a $5 off a $25 purchase coupon for parents. The campaign runs from January 5, 2009 through February 13, 2009.
"Kids and families know that it's never too cold outside to go for an ice cream cone. Servers make sure that every guest has a chance to give," says Kevin McNamara, Vice President, Operations Support Services, Friendly Ice Cream Corporation. "'Cone's for Kids' is good for business and we know that our contributions to Easter Seals make it possible for children with disabilities to have a great summer camp experience."
Funds raised will support Easter Seals Camp Friendly's programs essential to building a sense of independence and accomplishment. Camp provides an opportunity for kids with disabilities to be included in regular camp activities like, boating and canoeing, swimming, archery, ropes courses, horseback riding, hiking, basketball and fishing.
"Friendly's employees are dedicated to making this campaign a continued success, doing everything they can to engage restaurant guests and local communities in our cause," said James E. Williams, Jr., president and chief executive officer, Easter Seals. "It's fitting that each year around Valentine's Day, 'Cones for Kids' helps so many children and adults with disabilities. The program truly represents the heart of Friendly's, and it is the cornerstone of our two organizations' 28-year-strong partnership.
Friendly Ice Cream Corporation is a vertically integrated restaurant company serving signature sandwiches, entrees and ice cream desserts in a friendly, family environment in more than 500 company and franchised restaurants throughout the Northeast. The company also manufactures ice cream, which is distributed through more than 4,000 supermarkets and other retail locations.

THE LOYOLA MAROON VOLUME 66, NO. 9 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70118 OCTOBER 30,1987 Higher ACT standards ease remedial burden By GeofT Mattie Assistant News Editor "We had a better group of kids coming in due, in part, to the new minimum standard." —Janet Melancon As a direct result of higher standards for math scores on the American College Test, fewer students are in remedial math classes this year, Janet Melancon, associate professor of math sciences, said. Of those students in remedial Hiath courses, the majority are placed in the more advanced algebra course (110), with the minority placed in the arithmetic course (091), according to Dr. Claire Paolini, associate dean of Arts and Sciences."Students are required to get 70 percent of the questions on the placement test right. If they don't do that on the first test, and then do just as poorly on the retest, they need remediation," Melancon said. Of the freshman arriving in Fall 1986,73 percent were placed in the basic skills courses after Lagniappe placement tests, and 64 percent remained after the re-tests at the beginning of the year. However, of the students starting in Fall 1987, after the minimum requirement was implemented, 64 percent tested into basic skills courses during the Lagniappe sessions, and 49 percent remained after the re-tests. But these figures do not tell the "true story," according to Melancon. "In order to see the real picture, you have to look at the distribution between the two courses," said Melancon. "In the fall of '86, we had a lot more students in the 091 course as opposed to the 110 course. "I would say that the percentages are down this year," Melancon said. "We had a better group of kids coming in due, in part, to the new minimum standard." For this year's freshman class, 19 percent were assigned to the 091 course, while 30 percent were put into the 110 course. The large number of students being placed in remedial classes because of "lack of knowledge" is, according to Paolini, "a reflection of the high schools from which they are coming. "I don't think that there's anything wrong with the students' intrinsic abilities," Paolini said. "Hopefully, once high schools beef up their math and science programs," she said, "it will create a domino effect and we will begin to feel it." A committee is studying the admissions standards for next year. However, according to Dr. Marjorie Dachowski, interim director of Admissions, "They most likely will not be changing the existing standards." "I feel the minimum that was implemented last year had a very positive impact," Paolini said. "It was positive because fewer students fell into the 091 class this year when they were tested." Tommy Smith, a math sciences instructor who teaches a 110 course, said the students in general are doing quite well. "Most of the students in my class have increased 30 points between the first test and the second. "I believe that the lower number of students in each class helps the students by giving them more access to me on a one-to-one basis," he said. "I'm learning new things," Richard Cofer, computer information processing freshman, said. "Whoever was in charge of doing the placements was correct in placing me here."

Rival beliefs clash in porn debate By Cathy Baroco and Chuck Lee Staff writers PORNOGRAPHY: ART OR ABUSE? Raring tempers and opposing views were the scene in Nunemaker Hall Oct. 22 as part of The Great Pornography Debate.A capacity crowd attended the debate, which was sponsored by Loyola Union's Ideas and Issues Committee. Dozens more were turned away at the door. The purpose of the debate was to discuss pornography and its effects, the role of women in society and the link between pornography and violence. In opening remarks, A 1 Goldstein, publisher of Screw magazine, said the issue of pornography was too general. "The issue is not pornography, per se," he said, "but its right to exist is the issue." He also emphasized the positive aspects of healthy sexuality. "The thrust of my argument is that sex is positive," he said. Although he did not address it in his opening remarks, Goldstein established his neutrality as a journalist early in the debate. "I don't give a flying f— about feminism, communism or the KKK," Goldstein said. In contrast, Page Mellish, founder of Feminists Fighting Pornography, detailed her association with feminism and the negative aspects of pornography. "Pornography is a how-to booklet for rapists," she said, "down to how to tie the knots." Mellish pointed out the dominance of men over women both in pornography and in society today. "The most common cause of physical injury in women is being beaten by men," she said. "And that is war." Mellish disagreed with Goldstein's ideas of protection of freedom of the press. "Freedom of speech is not absolute," she said. A major point the participants addressed was violence in pornography and the connection between pornography and violence toward women. "Twenty-five percent of pornography contains overt violence," Mellish said. Ten percent contains incest, and the majority of what remains depicts degradation of women, she claimed. Goldstein disagreed, claiming instead only ".0004 percent of pornography depicts torture." Goldstein also denied the connection between pornography and violence.

This new form of Jewish identity is called "attachment to Israel" and it is strengthening among young US Jews.

A new type of Jewish identity is on the rise. As with more classic forms of Jewish identity, such as adherence to the strictures of tradition, involvement in Jewish communal functions and Jewish scholarship, this new form of Jewish identity might also help ensure Jewish continuity by preventing intermarriage and providing positive reasons for wanting to remain a part of the Jewish people.
This new form of Jewish identity is called "attachment to Israel" and it is strengthening among young US Jews – a segment of the American Jewish population previously thought to be the most alienated from and indifferent to the Jewish state.
Those are the findings of a recent survey commissioned by the Workmen's Circle/Arbeter Ring, an American organization first established by Bundists in 1900 that today focuses on promoting Jewish social justice.
US Jews aged 35 and under have become substantially more attached to Israel than those aged 34 to 44, according to the survey, conducted on the Internet in late April and early May among 1,000 Jews who are neither Orthodox nor day school alumni.
This marks a turnaround in the downward slide in young people's attachment to Israel most famously lamented by American pundit Peter Beinart. The research measured attachment to Israel through a composite index based on two questions: "How emotionally attached are you to Israel?" And: "To what extent do you see yourself as pro-Israel."
The survey seems to show that young American Jews without a strong background in Jewish education or an Orthodox upbringing are finding an alternative way to identify as Jews: through their attachment to Israel. This does not mean that these young Jews now blindly accept Israeli government policies. Like many Israelis, young American Jews are skeptical of political leadership in Israel. Indeed, while younger American Jews felt more attached to Israel than the 35 to 44 age group, they scored significantly lower on the "Trust in Israeli Leaders" index, which was based on three questions regarding whether or not Israel was truly interested in peace, whether or not the Palestinian Authority was, and the extent to which respondents backed a US preference for Israel over the Palestinians. Indeed, it can be argued that as young American Jews begin to feel more attached to Israel, they feel more comfortable voicing criticism out of a sincere desire to improve the situation.
What explains this rise in attachment to Israel among younger American Jews?
"In all likelihood, the cumulative impact of Birthright Israel in bringing so many young Jews to Israel may be coming to the fore," said Prof. Steven M. Cohen, one of the researchers who conducted the survey.
Historically, the ability of Jewish organizations or Israeli institutions to strengthen American Jews' ties to Israel has been limited. American Jews – particularly the unaffiliated variety – have in general felt somewhat distant from Israel if for no other reason than the yawning geographic divide separating the two countries. Various attempts were made to attempt to teach Israeli culture, current events, the Hebrew language and Zionist ideology in America.
But unlike Jewish texts and traditions that became the Jewish people's portable homeland, the sights, sounds and experiences of Israel could not be readily exported. There was no substitute for going to the Jewish state and seeing the miraculous return of the Jewish people to their historic homeland first hand.
But few American Jews – particularly of the unaffiliated variety – ever ended up visiting.
Over a decade ago, a combined Israeli-American endeavor was launched that has become probably the most successful Jewish identity project of recent decades: Birthright Israel.
Cohen refers to it as the "Birthright Bump."
Since the year 2000, over 300,000 Jews worldwide, most of whom from North America, have visited Israel. This has "bumped" upward attachment to Israel, transforming a whole generation of young American Jews who, according to studies conducted by Brandeis University's Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies, are less likely to intermarry.
Bringing young Jews to Israel for a carefully organized, activity-packed trip of just 10 days has resulted in the creation of a new form of Jewish identity called "attachment to Israel," and its impact could be critical for Jewish continuity in the 21st century.

Uva Trattoria - Napa
Online Reservations
Made a last minute reservation for a group of 7 after a long day of wineries. They were able to seat us pretty quickly and the food and service was great.
First time here and we'll be back. Had visitors from Chicago who'd never been to Napa Valley and the whole experience was fantastic!
I haven't been to Uva Trattoria for a while, but I met some friends there for dinner the other night, and everything was outstanding. The proprietor, Aaron Diaz, is very personable, and the staff is extremely attentive and professional. Everything tasted wonderful. The cream of heirloom tomato soup was excellent, as were the gnocchi and a special chocolate mousse cake for dessert. I will definitely be going back there soon!
Between the live music, unbeatable specialty drinks, unmatched service, and top rate food, there is absolutely nothing to complain or even think badly about. Can't wait to come again!
The food here was excellent. We had the Veal Scallopini, Linguine and clams and the Black and White with seafood. The latter was my favorite, but all in all they were very delicious. We didn't order from the wine list or bar so I can't comment on that, but they did have live music, which I thought was quite nice. It was good that this restaurant was not in the midst of all the 4th of July festivities so it was quiet and you could enjoy table conversation and the music. We would definately eat there again when in Napa.
The perfect place for dinner. The food was great, the service was even better. We had the calamari, a salad and shared a pizza, finishing with the tiramisu. The specials sounded yummy too--it was was hard to choose our meal. We sipped our wine and took our time ordering..we were not pressured to order so they could turn the table. Instead we were greeted, with the "please take your time and enjoy" attitude. They have light jazz music on the weekends and there is no corkage fee on your first bottle should you decide to bring one from your earlier wine tasting adventures. You should go there---you'll have a great experience!
We found this restaurant thru Open Table and the reviews did not let us down. The food was fabulous and our server Nicole was absolutely wonderful! We were seated right away and had arrived during the evening rush. The only drawback is the band is loud but they played good music so it was ok with us.
The food and cocktails were yummy! The only downside is that we had to ask for bread three times. They did not seem terribly busy for this oversight to occur. This will not deter me from going again.
We were visiting from the UK and staying at The Carneros Inn. We wanted to find somewhere different to eat and where we could bring our own wine. Uva doesn't charge corkage on your first bottle of wine. Menu was varied, traditional Italian as well as some more unique dishes. The seafood pasta was delicious. Also had the vanilla bean bread pudding which was good. Service was attentive, helpful but not intrusive.
We were seated within 5 minutes of our reservation in a table we requested by the window. Caprese salad used heirloom tomatoes that were actually ripe, and house made mozzarella that was soft and creamy...delicious. Four basil leaves did not seem like enough and it was served undressed, we added olive oil and balsamic at the table. Gnocchi in gorgonzola cream was very tender. Goat cheese & herb ravioli were also tender and flavorful. This is a big energetic place.
Good food, wine and the music was fantastic! Will come back.
My son has gluten allergy. We have tried to find gluten free pasta and pizza everywhere but with poor taste and results. The gluten free pasta we had here is the best ever we have tasted, very little difference from regular. Bruce Cheung
Wonderful experience as always. Our Father flew up to Napa to specifically go to UVA's for his birthday!! We had a great time!!!
Great service, great food, and a nice touch bringing my wife her favorite dessert (tiramisu) since it was a birthday celebration dinner.
We were in Napa this last weekend to play golf and see Kenny Loggins at the Uptown Theater, and chose Uva Trattoria for our dinner on Friday night. What a wonderful experience. The food was great, the music and dancing were terrific, and the ambience was incredible. It had the feel of a small local bar in a little town, although it was quite large. We will return again when we visit Napa.
In our party of five, every one of us loved our meals. We were seated right away, service was friendly, food was great.
Service was very good, kept our water glasses filled and wine poured. Portions were generous.
The grilled baby octopus salad was AMAZING! I've been here many times, and food is always great! The nightly salad was exceptional! I almost ordered a second one! Thank you Aaron & Staff!
I stumbled across this place last minute, and wasn't sure what to expect. The food was awesome, huge portions, and they had a great live blues band. Plus there was free corkage for the wine in August. Doesn't get better than that!
We had a great night of fantastic food and excellent music. One of the few places in Napa for this kind of night. A table of four with good seats and we enjoyed the ambiance and the food immensely, I had an excellent grappa.
Food and service were tops - fun lively and classy atmosphere - reasonable prices - will go back and will recommend
great pasta and salads. always a good energy level and the band starts at 8:30, turning into a party vibe. Lots of groups so can be noisy. And no corkage fee on first bottle of wine!
Great italian food and Jazz music great combination
We love UVA, it's always a treat to go there! Service is great, food is great, music is great!
Great location, food, wine and music. Lively, fun, energetic surroundings. Nate was fabulous on the guitar, wish the sound system was better. Would definitely go again and recommend.
A must for a comfortable place to have have a great meal and hang out with friend and family. Live music adds to the casual atmosphere. The food...it's all great!
Great food, especially the entrees (my date all but licked plate of black and white spaghetti... Service we excellent and attentive and waiter went out of his way to be helpful...
Great Italian place. fun and vibrant . love the band.
We were visiting Napa so we asked a few locals what they recommended. This was one of the spots they mentioned. It was perfect. The food was tasty, the service was great and the atmosphere was perfect. I highly recommend this place to anyone.
The calamari was tough, but the gnocchi with Gorgonzola was awesome! Hubby had the gnocchi with lamb bolognese which was great too.
First time in Napa and felt like Italian, this restaurant was perfect. I'm allergic to wheat and dairy and the pasta options was great. Enjoyed the mixed seafood pasta and my husband didn't talk throughout the entire meal while he enjoyed his ragu pasta. We weren't up for a late night, but for the short duration we were there it was great atmosphere with the love music and the service was see less. Would def go back if in napa again.
My husband and I came here for dinner with our friends to celebrate his birthday. After a long day of wine tasting we were looking for something that was upbeat and fun with great food. This restaurant has met all of our expectations and more. The food was great, the atmosphere was even better, and the service was also pretty good. The dim lighting and great Jazz/R&B music was really enjoyable. The drinks were awesome, however, I do think that their wine selection could have been better. Overall, great experience.
After searching frantically for a restaurant that would give us a reservation for 4 at 7:00 p.m. on a Saturday night, we found Uva. The food and service were wonderful. This is not a quiet restaurant as we might have preferred, but we still had a great time. We asked for a table that was far from the live music and this wish was granted. If you love jazz and good Italian food, this is the place for you.
My girl and I had a great dinner with a great jazz band playing. We both really loved the ambiance. We look forward to coming back next time we are in town.
We recently were given this restaaurant as a place the locals go. We figured, "it must be good!" It was, so good, we went back a couple of weeks later. This time we went to see and hear Junk Joint while we dined. What a pleasuble experience. We are telling several of our family and friends as well as out of towners about this wonderful restaurant. We live over in Fairfield. We won't be going into the City for fine dining for a while.
Visited UVA from referral from one of the wineries my husband and I visited earlier in the day. Good food and wonderful live music! Our server was not the best, he was more helpful to the surrounding table than our table. And when we asked for refills, he would forget and we had to keep asking. This was also the treatment we received from the bar, when we first arrived because our table wasn't ready. Even though we made reservations. The live band was awesome! Wonderful gentleman singer!!
My wife and I were visiting Napa Valley, Ca. and became hungry as our guide at a Vineyard began to talk about pairing a Chardonnay with some kind of cream based pasta. At that point, I was reminded of my hunger and we sought out an Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is warm on colors of red, browns, golds, etc. with a "not-too-stiff" "not-too-wild" atmosphere. For us, it was PERFECT. The food was fantastic. There was no fault I could find with their Chicken Alfredo. It was one of the best I have had. Oh yeah, their dessert, Tiramisu, was OFF THE CHAIN awesome. If you like Tiramisu, you must try theirs.
We really enjoyed our dinner. The jazz band was nice and at a level that you could still have a conversation. All in all, good food, good service and a good time.
Although a very traditional Italian Menu, everything that came out of the kitchen was excellent and piping hot so definitely a place for "foodies"! Loved the live entertainment; the only of our trip. Went on a Wednesday night which was quiet. Would visit again on the weekend.
Atmosphere was great. Food was good. Service was fair.
We had a large group but they made room for us. The food and wine were excellent. Our only issues were with our poor service and the volume of the band. We had to yell during dinner just to hear each other. However, the band was good.
Had the occo busco,it was so tender and a huge portion. Substituted potatoes for roasted brussel sprouts, they were fantastic. My husband had salmon, and it was also perfect. The restaurant also had no corkage fee for the month of October. An excellent experience.
We stop here to get a bite on our way to the movie theater. It is good food and they help us meet our timeline/show time!!
...all food good...several specials...full bar/very lively...friendly staff...casual/relaxed...downtown Napa...live jazz...local favorite...have been here often over the years.
We were fortunate that there was great entertainment the night we were having dinner. The singer was great, and the synthizer player was also wonderful. During the meal, the air conditioner was turned on, and we werer so cold, that we were not going to stay for coffee & dessert. However, once it was turned on, we decided to stay for coffee & dessert so we could hear some more of the duo that was playing. Alltogether a nice night out.!
Food was very good and service was on spot except for one thing. When asked to decant our wine the waitress took the bottle to the back and brought it back decanted. A little unusual I thought. Other than that the meal was good.
Food was great. Service great. Good wine list. In a fun area to walk around. We would return.
.....Fri eve dinner with 2 others...reservations 6:30p/repeat customer...place about 1/2 full...within an hr totally full/line at door...jazz band setting up...full bar/full of people at bistro tables & bar seats...loud loud loud noise level....in the heart of downtown...good service...delish food as usual...daily specials...sole/potatoes/artichoke...penne pasta/sausage...coconut shrimp/salad...didn't feel rushed...was there til 8p just as the band started....one of our fave places for lunch and/or dinner.
We tried something different new this year and decided to eat out for Thanksgiving. Living in Modesto, we looked on several websites and found this restaurant which had high reviews in Napa, an area we wanted to visit. They had a great selection of their regular menu available for Thanksgiving and the five of us were able to choose from ribeye, duck, chicken, clams, and pasta marinara. Also with the many food allergies we had to attend to at our table from gluten to fodmap, our server and the chef did their best to meet all of the concerns we had. The dishes were all prepared perfectly. The risotto was salty but if we had mentioned it we are certain that it would have been corrected. We would definitely return for the service and the food.
Made a reservation and was seated quickly. Skipped appetizers, but they had a nice selection, and other diners seemed to enjoy their selections. I had a very tasty veal piccata, wife had an equally good penne with house made sausage in tomato cream sauce. Bread and olive oil dip was good accompaniment. Brought our own bottle of red to enjoy with dinner, no corkage fee. $55 price tag was reasonable for the great food we had. Service was good. Younger waitress was a little uninterested and left me hanging when she said she would bring me lemon slices. Older waitress was interested and friendly, got those lemon slices post haste. Dinner was delicious and relaxing. A nice italian place. Wife thought so too. Will return.

That is so far not satisfactory.
Well -- you get the investigation I think is going well but is it's far from complete and the main issue that I have.
No matter -- is whether or not any of our security was compromised.
For instance -- these women have been working for narco terrorist organization was there any information in the rooms.
Of the agents which -- could have compromised anyone.
Or their blackberries.
Secure at all times.

Where they just prostitutes so all that's to me that's the main focus or so -- we have.
The overall issue as to.
What will be done as far as correcting the situation.
So that we actually minimize the the possibility of this ever happening again so -- -- that there are pretty specific questions.
I have every reason to believe that director Mark Sullivan will conduct the investigation properly.
It was important that he knows and the public knows that -- committee and others we following up on this we're doing their own investigation -- parallel investigation none of what I do wanna make Nobel.
Is that -- all of this there are.
Over two ordered Secret Service agents down in Columbia for that visit.

We have to make sure that there's is not part of India overriding overall.
Problem which faces the -- a couple of specific questions here do you have confidence in Mark Sullivan.
The head of the Secret Service.
I do with me you -- someone by how they act when something in effect just erupts and from the moment that.
Mark Sullivan heard of this New York intense investigation he ordered the -- -- United States.

Video cameras everything was being checked out extensively and Thom satisfied is going well.
Okay on a quick question -- that I've got to go on and appreciate you being patient during the speech there in Washington.

-- will be important prisoners show that the years scandal went over the Secret Service -- another agency.
