2014 Ford Fiesta ST
I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys... Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an env... Read More

Ford is running the high-elevation numbers on its five-door, six-speed manual Fiesta ST in the mountains of Colorado. We're going to hope this means that all our finger-crossing has served its purpose, and the hot hatch is finally headed for U.S. showrooms. Remember, the five-door concept was teased at the Los Angeles Auto Show last year before the ...
While the sedan is hardly our favorite Fiesta – that would be the forthcoming, Europe-only ST – as long as Ford still feels the need to sell a four-door sedan we suppose it's only fair that it get the same updates as the hatchback. We saw spy shots of the hatch back in March, but now we've got images of the sedan as well. Our spy shooters ...
We can't find much fault with the 2011 Ford Fiesta, but if there's one major gripe, it's a lack of power (well, and paddle shifters for the dual-clutch gearbox). However, it looks like that lone complaint may be addressed with the introduction of the Fiesta ST, the smaller sibling to the recently revealed Focus ST. Similar to the mule caught in Detroit ...
Although the outgoing Ford Fiesta ST had its loyal fan base, its bland styling never did it any favors. So while we wait for the Blue Oval to decide on what Fiesta body-style should make it to American shores, the real litmus test over on the British Isles will be what sort of performance derivatives the dynamically-styled new Fiesta will spawn. One of ...

"A Time To Kill" — The Backstory
TPNC Board Member and frequent director Julie Bell Petrak saw the final Broadway performance of "A Time To Kill" in November, 2013. Julie was so impressed that she immediately sought the rights to perform it at the Powerhouse. After two months of persistent effort, she landed "ATTK" as the opener for our 2014-15 season. Kudos to Julie, who will direct the show. It opens on October 24th.

How'd They Do That?
"The Governor's Son," by local playwright Jim Gordon, was a success at many levels, one of which came as a pleasant surprise. Audience members were so impressed by the seemingly instant and effortless scene changes that they requested backstage tours after every performance.

Published in 2010 by Simon & Schuster, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of
Cancer combines Siddhartha Mukherjee's personal narratives about his experiences as a
hematology/oncology fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital, together with a thoughtful
history of cancer, its research, and its treatment. According to to the author, the book was
written in response to the behests of a patient, but one of his acknowledged influences for
Emperor of All Maladies is Randy Schiltz's groundbreaking 1980s chronicle of the HIV/
A.I.D.S epidemic, And the Band Played On.
Upon its release, Dr. Mukherjee's book received instant acclaim. The Oprah Magazine listed
Emperor of All Maladies in its Top 10. The New York Times soon followed suit, and Time
Magazine named Emperor of All Maladies as one of the "Top 10 Nonfiction Books of 2010,"
and later among the one hundred most influential books since 1910. In 2011, The Emperor
of All Maladies: A History of Cancer was nominated as a National Book Critics Circle Award
finalist, and on April 18, 2011, the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction was awarded to
Mukherjee's book, followed by PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award in 2011.
Since then, The Emperor of All Maladies has been reprinted and translated into a number of
foreign language editions, including Chinese, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Slovenian, and
Greek. Reviews of the book continue to be unabashed acclamations of, both, Dr.
Mukherjee's humanitarian passion and his relatable "biography" approach to the topic,
turning what is often considered a forbiddingly dense topic into a lush, literary style of
memoirs about cancer. Publisher's Weekly described Siddhartha Mukherjee's biography of
cancer as "a sweeping epic of obsession, brilliant researchers, dramatic new treatments,
euphoric success and tragic failure, and the relentless battle by scientists and patients alike
against an equally relentless, wily, and elusive enemy." The New Yorker heralded the book
as "An extraordinary achievement."

USA, 1979 (MIFF 1981, New Directors)
Director: Issam Makdissy
Liar's Dice rests on an intriguingly elliptical plot by lead actress, Terry Eubanks-Makdissy From this, director Issam Makdissy has woven a loosely-knit fabric of shifting focus and thickening relationships. Gradually, one separates the film's three major characters from other peripheral figures, and an oblique and atypical romantic triangle comes into the foreground
Its principal figures are: Anne, a woman painter, who makes do by working as a cocktail waitress in a low-class Oakland bar; Joe, a white-haired, older, divorced man who frequents the bar and has a passion for horse-racing as well as for Anne, and Samir, a young Arab, (played by the director) who is going to school, enduring an unhappy marriage to an American, and soothing some of his marital dissatisfactions and homesickness for Lebanon in an affair with Anne.
The film conveys a poignant sense of some working-class lives, centring on characters who know broken dreams and relationships all too well. Surprisingly, despite its share of sad insights, the film does not traffic in despair, but rather finds signs of resilience in unlikely places and people.

I bought this from Saveonlaptops.com, got it for £500. It takes 43 seconds to turn on (without updates) and 10 seconds to turn off (without updates). I can run games like Spore and Battle for Middle Earth II on highest graphical settings with no lag, although I did have to reduce the VFX settings on the latter to "low" as the graphics card was unable to generate a blur effect, resulting in black squares on my screen. Other than that though, absolutely faultless. One of the best deals on the web.

Don't be fooled by this vibrant hue. It looks amazing on a powdered face. It actually comes out looking very natural as though you are just "flushed" rather than that fake pink rosey colour that many blushes have. The way I see it with blushes is that the more natural you want to look, the move "hot" pinky/peach colour you should look for. When a person looks naturally flushed, they don't have pink in their cheeks, they have a more rosey red colour which is why I love this blush. Put it on and it adds an instant flush to your face that is feminine,gorgeous and natural. 5 stars. Expensive yes but worth it rather than buy a cheaper blush and have it not work or look fake.

I have a terrible time with blushes, I'm a true neutral (fair) and the undertone of the blush, is what shows up on me - so they look blue, red, or orange. And then, I have the added issue of being really sensitive (can't use products with shimmer and/or various other ingredients). After trying every blush out there, including most of MAC's, I ended up with Pinch o' Peach, which I liked very much - I would have liked it a little pinker, but for the most part, it looked very natural on me. However, it appears they've discontinued it, so I tried this. It's slightly pinker than POP, so for that, I like this a little better. And while this is quite a bit darker in the pan, it doesn't go on as dark as you would think, if you use a light hand and use the fluffiest brush you can find. The formula of this, does not fade on me as others have experienced, it pretty much lasts all day and stays true - it doesn't get muddy. I've heard quite a few people talk about how the Pro Longwear blushes are hard to work with, because they are so pigmented and a lot of product shows up on your brush. I use a big, fluffy brush, dip it once, then dab it with a tissue to take off the excess, and apply lightly. I get a great glow that lasts all day and looks really natural. The best part is I don't react to it at all. I still have some of my Pinch o' Peach, and I actually like this better, it's prettier on me.
I went into MAC asking for a really girly, barbie-ish shade of pink and I definitely got what I wanted! It's pricey at around £20 but I think it's worth the money. It lasts all day without fading and because it blends so well, I don't get that caked-on line of blush that you sometimes see. This is a matte blush without shimmer so I find it suitable for everyday use, either at work or general day-time wear.
Not bad for my first MAC purchase! I will definitely buy this colour again and hopefully I will be buying other shades soon.
More reviews by beameupscotty22
I've been using MAC products since they first came out and one of my favorite items to purchase it their blushers. i love the matteness of this one and as usual - the heavy pigmentation of their products shines. Just a little goes a long way on the apples of my cheeks to brighten up my otherwise very pale skin. Using a makeup base and translucent powder underneath makes the pink really look paler and more natural.
I will never have to buy anymore because it is so intense in the case - and will never run out! My plexiglass insert has already fallen out though - as my others have. MAC needs to correct this stupid packaging!

For reference i'm NC20/C25. I got this blush last January when i asked MAC BA for a pink blush that goes with my skin and she offered me this. I liked the colour so i purchased this blush.
I DO LOVE THE COLOUR. It's really pink on the pan, but when i wear this i look flustered which is good. And it's beautiful on photos too, i look fresh and healthy. It's buildable and the blush is pigmented. However i do not agree with the pro longwear title, because after 4 hours the blush fades. I need to touch up again and again.
I would not repurchase, simply because i know there are other beautiful pink colour exactly like this or at least the ones that made me look flustered. What i know inevitable is that i will purchase another MAC blushes, but not this one twice.
This blush looks lovely against my skin, it is bright yet natural. I hate blushes with glitters and this does not have any. If you are looking for a good bright pink, go ahead and try this.
Only downside is that -I don't know if it is a real downside- the blush is really pigmented and long lasting, so you HAVE to be careful.

I loved Eternal Sunshine blush. This is the first time I bought an actual blush and I was nervous because I wanted a natural look.
The lady who lead me to loving this product had a skin tone similar to mine and showed me how she wore the same blush. I really liked it on her and I gave it a try.
It was a subtle rosy, sunshiny color on me and I said I NEED IT NOW. So I bought it and it looks really good.
It is a good contouring, blushing, and bronzing product, I love it!
I love blushes and have many but cant seem to walk out of nordstrom without buying another one. I picked this one up because i love pink and even though its little bright for my skintone. its densely pigmented so apply sparingly. overall i'm starting to really like mac blushes. very affordable, decent staying power. great selection of colors.
I love this blush and find it pigmented and soft in texture you will see it in action on the video. I wouldn't repurchase as I think the MAC regular blush line has soo many better suited options.enjoy the video :)

Why do men have mistresses?
After almost a year, I realized I was the "other woman". I got caught up in all the fireworks and his charming ways.I don't understand why he'd have this affair, when it seems pretty clear now that he does love his son and wife. And yet, after some special moments, he looked into my eyes and cried telling me how much he trusted me, loved me, and loved the way I made him feel.Yet-- he hasn't even tried contacting me; its been a month after our "break up". I'm pretty sure he got caught up and this was his exit route to go back to his normal life. I am not interested in being with him (of course), but I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt. We had incredible chemistry in all ways, so it's not easy to forget.I'm just curious as to WHY men do this. All those lies, fake "I love you's", meeting all my friends, spending quality time with me, falling asleep cuddling and holding hands... When we'd go out, he'd brag to strangers about what an amazing woman I am & how much he loves me. If you want more sex, don't start a new relationship. Just go find sex. But it was obvious he wasn't JUST about sex... otherwise, it wouldn't have lasted as long as it did. WHY.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Some men just aren't capable of settling down and being monogamous. They try to tell themselves and other people that they can be like that, but the reality is that they can't. Until they can be honest with themselves, they will continue to hurt themselves (and drag other people down with them).
Exactly, and this is what happens when a society enjoys forcing monogamy expectations on people after some time has passed. Monogamous people feel pressure to be promiscuous while they're young, and poly people feel pressure to be monogamous when they're older.
What Guys Said 2
Ouu that stings just to read. Sorry to hear that girlie :(It's not just men tho, 9 years ago my ex-wife was cheating on me with my best friend.in one day lost best friend which I beat the sh*t out of, my wife, kids, house, and the shirt off my back plus all the toys I lost through a messed up divorce. So yeah I wonder why sometimes too.
That's awful. I will never understand how people could be so selfish and cheat, especially like that!
You fell for a trick, MOVE ON.
way easier said than done. We shared almost a year together and the ending was quite dramatic, involving a miscarriage... A lot of tears shed between the both of us-- again, easier said than done, but I am moving on.
Congratulations, you'll find somebody better :) When you do though don't make him pay for the way that guy behaved. Best of luck!
What Girls Said 2
Cheaters are master manipulators. They can use tears to gain your trust and manipulate. They are selfish and entitled, and either compartmentalize or don't in their heads. It's a form of abuse to their spouse. It isn't a gender thing because women cheat about just as much.I recommend you read NOT Just Friends by Dr. Shirley Glass, but do take the parts blaming the scorned spouse with a huge lump of salt. The fact that this guy cheated on his wife wasn't her fault or your fault, it was HIS fault.Also, some people are naturally monogamous and others are not.
Also, I know I say this to everyone, but because you're grieving over such a large loss, please do seek counseling. You are worth way more than how this guy treated you.

The Boat That Rocked 2009
Over all I enjoyed The Boat That Rocked, although I do think it had a few problems. Most glaring for me is that there were a few anachronisms in the tracks played--as an example, "Eleanore" by The Turtles appearing about a year and a half to two years before it was released. I also found the ending just a little contrived. That having been said, it is certainly a fun movie and quite enjoyable. I have heard complaints about its length, but I really didn't have a problem with that at all (since when is two hours and ten minutes considered a long movie?).

How Passionate People Can Change the World
Yesterday, the School of Medicine celebrated our 170th graduation, where I shared some thoughts with the students about how passionate people can change the world. Because the theme really applies to everyone, and because it involves some of my deepest beliefs, I wanted to also share these thoughts with all of you.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
You MADE it! What a fantastic day this is!
And my guess would be—remembering back to the day when I was in your shoes, waiting to get my diploma—that you feel some combination of euphoria…validation…and relief! No?
I suspect—and hope!—that there's another emotion swirling around in you right now: gratitude…toward those who have believed in you and supported you along the way—your families…your friends…and your teachers.
I think you'd agree that today is their triumph, as well as your own…so let's take a moment to thank them.
Many of you, I know, overcame major obstacles to get to medical school. And all of you worked incredibly hard to get through it.
To me, though, the most telling thing of all is that you signed up before all those economic bubbles burst—while huge numbers of your peers were lured by the apparent promise of "instant megabucks."
You wouldn't be sitting here, in other words…if you weren't propelled by a profound desire to make a difference with your life.
In the next few minutes, I'd like to share some thoughts with you about what it will take to actually do that.
Intelligence…creativity…opportunity…and even luck all help shape a life of achievement.
But none of them explain why some people "get there"…while so many others—starting with similar (or even more impressive) assets—don't.
How many people set out at top speed—but forget they face a marathon, not a 50-yard dash?
How many take a shot or two at a glorious dream—and when the attempt falls short, simply throw up their hands and forget it?
And how many others gradually let the forces of inertia wear them down?
All of those life-trajectories are familiar…and, I suppose, understandable. But they rarely lead to accomplishments that mirror the dreams one started out with.
So what is it that allows certain individuals to defy the "gravity" of life—and hold fast to what they set out to do?
In my eyes, the deciding factor is…passion.
Now, passion, for many people, is a flamboyant trait. Think flamenco, for example.
And of course, it isn't always positive—far from it! Soccer hooligans are passionate. Political extremists, lord knows, are passionate. And as we all know, most of history's greatest tragedies have been set ablaze by passion run amok.
The kind of passion I'm talking about is obviously about creating, not destroying. It's about unwavering—"un-de-rail-able"—commitment and determination to rise to the very best of oneself.
From Sir Laurence Olivier to Meryl Streep, the great performers have it.
So do the great athletes, including amateurs like the four oarsmen David Halberstam described in his 1985 book—crewmen bent on winning an Olympic medal because, as he put it "they wanted to, for no reward other than the feeling itself."
The great chefs…the great designers…the great writers—all those who distinguish themselves by elevating a craft into an art form—reach the heights they do because their passion carries them through the thankless slog of attaining mastery in their field.
The same, needless to say, is true of clinicians and scientists.
If this were only about consummate expertise, we could stop right here. And passion would come down to a mere predictable prerequisite of iron-clad self-discipline.
But I think truly passionate people bring something else—something indescribably valuable…even world-altering —to the table. And that is: they forever change the way we see things. They transfect our DNA.
- Think of Van Gogh or Picasso, who each—despite their very different personal fortunes—redefined centuries' worth of quote-unquote "certainties" about what it means to paint a picture.
- Or think of Winston Churchill, who during World War II led a country about the size of Kansas… just 21 miles from the Nazi-dominated mainland…while bombs were raining down mercilessly on London…and whose radio-broadcast speeches rallied his beleaguered nation to keep on fighting—probably saving much of our world through the power of his words alone.
- Or think of the giants in science and medicine.
- From Louis Pasteur, so fearless in his pursuit of the causes of infectious disease that he once collected saliva—in a vial clenched between his teeth—from the mouth of a rabid bull-dog…
- …to Marie Curie, who processed ten tons of pitchblende residue—in 20-kilogram batches!—to isolate one tenth of a gram of pure radium chloride…
- …to anti-polio crusader (and NYU alumnus) Jonas Salk, who devoted eight tireless years to developing a vaccine that he tested on himself…and never sought to patent, because, as he said, it would be like trying to patent the sun…
- …to our friend Ada Yonath, winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, who ground through 25 thousand tries before making the cell's protein factories take on a crystalline form so their structure could be studied. (By the way, Dr. Yonath was our 2011 Graduation speaker. For years and years, the great champion of her work was our wonderful benefactor, Helen Kimmel!)
The legacy of our School brims with examples like these, as maybe you've already discovered in the book of our history, called Pioneering Medicine, that you received earlier this week.
In an interview a few months back, Ron Chernow, author of the Pulitzer-winning biography of George Washington, summed up the astonishing level of impact one person can have.
According to Chernow, our country's first president (who as you probably know, was not a warm and fuzzy guy, say nothing of a cheerleader or a blazing orator!) left a legacy that teaches us, and I quote, "the importance of clarity of vision…of tenacity of purpose and character…and how much can be accomplished in life if you keep your sights set on your ultimate goals."
Some of you will be heading into the laboratory. Others into the classroom. And still others into lives of service in disaster zones or underserved areas.
Whatever your path, you have within you the power to leave the world a better place than you found it.
Depending on your temperament, your passion for what you do can be quiet…or vociferously contagious. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you have it.
Congratulations again to each and all of you! Keep the flame! Thank you very much.

Globally Inspired, Locally Acquired
Madison-area food and beverage virtuosos are blending global trends with homegrown ingredients to delicious effect.
They say food-world trends begin in restaurants," muses Heather Porter Engwall, director of national product communications for the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. "And we have so many wonderful restaurants and chefs—and grocery stores and shops—that pay attention to what's going on globally, nationally and throughout the community."
They bring a cornucopia of flavors and tastes to local restaurant tables, food carts and store shelves, increasingly featuring fresh,
seasonal produce, meats, dairy products and other foods sourced from local growers and producers. And let's not forget the wines, beers and myriad beverages from down the street and around the world they offer us.
Today's foodies and beverage connoisseurs are looking for bold, innovative flavors while still craving comfort food from time to time. Many are seeking novel items they've seen on the ubiquitous Food Network. "Everybody watches it, and food has become an interest, a passion, for people," declares Matt Van Nest, owner of Brasserie V and president of Madison Originals.
"People are very educated about food when they come into our restaurant," he adds. "Most like cooking, but may not have as much time as they'd like, and more young people are into food and cooking."
Jeff Hiveley, co-owner and general manager of Bella Vita Italian Grille & Pizzeria, appreciates patrons' knowledge and input. "Madison people are very knowledgeable about authentic foods. We've had quite a few people of Italian heritage, for instance, come in and give comments and we've changed some things as a result. It's a great city to have a restaurant."
Madison has always had a population interested in a sense of place, in the farm-to-table concept, and that's increasing, notes Porter Engwall. "The Dane County Farmers' Market continues to grow, and more markets are popping up in other communities. People are staying in their own backyards for sourcing products."
They're also interested in agritourism—visiting area farms, cheesemakers and other producers—and knowing who makes their food and where it comes from. "People want to learn about their food, what they're putting in their bodies," Porter Engwall says. "They want to have a smaller carbon footprint and are seeking sustainable products that are actual food: nutritional, without processed ingredients.
"It's a very exciting time to be involved in the food industry," she continues. "We're lucky in Wisconsin to have so many amazing
products available. Interest in food is growing; I've seen a lot of different food clubs and things like cheese seminars crop up in our area."
Local Dairy Products
She's observed several widespread trends playing out in greater Madison. Restaurants are featuring more local dairy products, sometimes with an international flair, such as European-style butters. Retail shoppers are still focused on price, but also on quality and value.
"We have a 'Wisconsin Pride' logo many cheesemakers use to indicate heightened quality, and to let people know where their cheese comes from," she says. "Our research shows people from all over seek products from Wisconsin, and when people think of Wisconsin—even from a global standpoint—the first thing they think of is cheese."
Wisconsin is the No. 1 cheese-producing state, Porter Engwall reports. "We produce 26 percent of the nation's cheese and 48 percent of its specialty cheese."
Artisanal cheesemaking is growing by leaps and bounds. "I could rattle off 10 new cheeses in just the last few months," says Porter Engwall. "Some are vintage, like DCI Cheese Company's Liederkranz, which is similar to limburger. The recipe was shelved 25 years ago and the company worked with a master cheesemaker to bring it back to life."
There are also new flavors, developed in response to consumers' demand for bolder tastes. "Sartori Foods' Espresso Bella Vitano is one example," Porter Engwall says. "Holland's Family Farm's Foenegreek Gouda is another."
French- and Belgian-Inspired
Brasserie V has an international flair as well. "We have a French- and Belgian-inspired menu, from more casual salads and sandwiches to sophisticated items such as foie gras steak," says Van Nest. "On the beverage side we specialize in Belgian beer and French wine."
Signature menu items include mussels, frites and duck—staples of French and Belgian cuisine. "We have a good variety, and most things are under $20," Van Nest says. "We try to stay true to the French/Belgian influence, what the people eat daily, although sometimes we have our own take on the inspiration."
Aside from the signature items, Brasserie V's menu changes every three months, based on seasonal availability. "We talk to farmers and other purveyors about what will be available in the coming quarter, and then my wife, Andrea, and I meet with our head chef. We look through cookbooks and talk about things we've liked at other restaurants," Van Nest explains. "A group of us went to Belgium last fall and we incorporated ideas from the trip. The changing menu keeps our customers and our kitchen staff excited and engaged."
He's a firm believer in keeping a small menu. "It's important. If everybody in the kitchen knows how to make all the menu items really well, it helps you ensure the food is high quality and consistent. We take a lot of pride in that."
Comfort food is popular with diners, and Van Nest buys locally when possible. "We sell a lot of burgers, and our beef comes from farm-raised cattle originating 30 minutes from the restaurant."
He and other Madison Originals members—a group of independent restaurateurs dedicated to promoting independent restaurants—
discuss buying local at their meetings. "People in Madison have been focused on buying local for a long time, and now it's
happening more and more around the country, even in small towns," he says. "Food isn't traveling as far and people are supporting local workers, farmers, cheesemakers …."
In a still-challenging economy, he's seen consumers continue to eat out, but spend less. In response, many restaurants—including his—offer small plates. "Even more upscale restaurants in bigger cities are doing so. Whether it's sandwiches or tapas, the trend is to have $8 to $12 items. If people want to spend $50, they can, but they have the option to spend less."
Rustic, Homemade Italian
As its name suggests, Bella Vita Italian Grille & Pizzeria specializes in rustic, homemade Italian food. The story of its origin explains its comfortable family feel.
"Our group of seven owners grew up together in the same town and spent a lot of time together, and then all went off to different colleges," says Hiveley. "But we always found ways to get together with our families and enjoy good food and drink."
The friends shared many beliefs about restaurants, and decided to open their own. "We felt a college town was right for our concept, and three of us already lived in Madison so we decided to locate here," Hiveley says.
Bella Vita Italian Grille & Pizzeria opened quietly in November, 2010, across from West Towne Mall. "We didn't have a grand opening; we wanted some time to focus on our menu and service," says Hiveley. "We've changed our menu six times since we opened. Everything is homemade—our sauce, crust—and we use top-quality ingredients. We stress quality and service."
He's added items for the health-conscious and those with special needs. "We're adding some gluten-free things on our feature menu and we recently held two vegan dinners. Our menu has to be versatile to accommodate as many people as possible."
Bella Vita is family-friendly. "We have a children's menu," says Hiveley. "Sometimes we bring out dough for them to play with at the table and we've had kids help roll out their own pizza crust."
Mature consumers and corporate groups also patronize the restaurant. "Many people comment that our prices are very reasonable and that we serve nice, hearty portions," Hiveley says. "A lot of people take food to go for the next day—mature people like that."
Diners are very cost-conscious today and value is important to them, he finds. "Eating out isn't a necessity, and when people come out, they want to receive a fair value."
The restaurant's owners are working to make community connections and get involved. Having played sports growing up, they support youth sports activities. Many of them worked in restaurants as young people, so they want to give today's young people the same opportunity.
"We're working with Memorial High School to hire students," says co-owner Roy Vivian. "One of our first hires was a junior at Memorial. He wants to be a chef, but he had no experience, so he started as a dishwasher. He's already a part-time prep cook, and we're very proud of that—we want to support others' dreams like people helped us."
The owners also support several charities, and are developing business relationships that will increase their ability to buy locally. "We want to be ingrained in the community; that's very important to us," says Vivian.
Listening to their guests is important as well. "We love to get suggestions from them," Hiveley says. "They try places in different cities and they see the trends. We plan to change our menu three or four times a year; you have to change as trends and people's tastes change."
He wants Bella Vita to be known as a family restaurant you can take just about anyone to and have a good time with good food and good service—not too fancy, not too casual, but just right. "We're still feeling our way through it and creating our niche," says Hiveley. "We really appreciate the people who have come in so far."
Going Forward
To cover their overhead, Vivian is seeing restaurants offer specials to get diners in the door during the week and at lunch time. "On Mondays we have bottles of wine at half price and on Tuesdays we offer local beers and liquors for half price. We're planning a family-style dinner and we'll do a shrimp night. You have to be creative to attract customers, and I see more restaurants doing that."
He believes many new restaurants that open will be geared toward families. "They're the ones coming in on week nights."
Porter Engwall sees a continuation of the trend to seek natural, real food at restaurants and retail stores. "I'm seeing more and more local, real-food products offered at stores, including chain stores and smaller ones," she says. "People want products that are good for themselves and their families."
Van Nest foresees the buy local trend getting even stronger. "A lot more small farmers are getting back into producing products for
consumers, whether it's cattle, chickens or produce. I think community supported agriculture (CSA) groups, where people can get those products at home, will continue to grow, too."
On the restaurant front he sees Madison eateries keeping up with trends but staying true to themselves. "That's the key," he says. "Cook good-quality food for reasonable prices and you won't go wrong in the restaurant industry, no matter what the economy is like. The real trendy-trends come and go."

The song 'Gone Missing' by Jamaal Williams or J-Willz was released this week and now has more than 6,000 views on YouTube.
The song talks not only about the search for Alexis Murphy but also for Dashad Smith, who was last seen in November, and for Faye Tinsley, whose murder remains unsolved.
Williams said he wanted to express his feelings about something so tragic happening in the area and he talks about his own struggles, too.
"People know that she's out missing. Somebody knows where she's at it's just a matter of someone stepping up and I feel like it's soon you know. I just needed to speak on it and let it all out," Williams said, who is performing Friday night in Charlottesville.
Williams says the song will be available on iTunes tomorrow and says he will create a fund from the profits to give to the person who steps forward and tells authorities where Alexis is.

A clergy coalition formed in January that has spoken out against abortion and perceived threats to religious freedom will rally in defense of the traditional definition of marriage on July 1.
Members of Shepherds United plan to gather at noon on the Allen County Courthouse lawn in reaction to expected U.S. Supreme Court rulings on same-sex marriage expected by the end of June.
Founding member, the Rev. Dr. Peter Scaer of Fort Wayne, says the high court is deciding challenges to the federal Defense of Marriage Act and a California constitutional amendment. Both define marriage as only between a man and a woman.
"We have no inside knowledge as to the date or how the court will rule. … This is like reading tea leaves with the Supreme Court," said Scaer, a professor of New Testament at Fort Wayne's Concordia Theological Seminary, affiliated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
Either way, the ruling has implications for Indiana, he said, because the state put off a ballot measure to constitutionally define marriage as between a man and a woman pending the court's rulings, he said.
"Regardless of the court's decision, we as shepherds in the city of Churches are conscience-bound to proclaim marriage as the union of one man and one woman," Scaer said.
"We believe the July 1 marriage rally will give us an opportunity to let the community know that we will continue to teach marriage in truth and love according to the word of our Lord."
Shepherds United claims as members 140 leaders of Fort Wayne-area Roman Catholic, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, Missionary, evangelical Protestant, Baptist, Wesleyan, Anglican and other churches.
Among the signers of the coalition's founding position statement are the Rev. Kevin C. Rhoades, bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend; the Rev. Daniel C. May, president of the Missouri Synod's Indiana district; the Rev. Dr. Bill Hossler, president of the Missionary Church Inc.; the Rev. Rick Hawks, pastor of The Chapel; and Ron Hawkins, lead pastor of First Assembly of God.
