Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships
"This work is important, because whether it's a secular group advising families facing foreclosure or faith-based groups providing job training to those who need work, few are closer to what's happening on our streets and in our neighborhoods than these organizations. People trust them. Communities rely on them. And we will help them."
-- President Barack Obama, National Prayer Breakfast, February 2009
Welcome to the Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Our mission is to develop partnerships with, provide relevant information to, and expand participation of faith-based, nonprofit, and community/neighborhood organizations in VA programs in order to better serve the needs of Veterans, their families, Survivors, caregivers, and other beneficiaries.
Center for Faith-based and Neighorbood Partnerhships
In 2009, President Obama appointed a diverse Advisory Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and asked them to make recommendations for strengthening the social service partnerships the Government forms with nongovernmental providers, including strenthening the consitutional and legal footing of these partnerships. While Council members differed on some important issues in this area, they were able to come to agreement on a number of significant recommendations.
In in response to the Advisory Council's recommendations, on November 17,2010, President Obama issued Executive Order (E.O.) 13559, Fundamental Principles and Policymaking Criteria for Partnerships with Faith-based and Other Neighborhood Organizations, which amended E.O. 13279 (December 2002), Equal Protection of the Laws for Faith-based and Community Organizations. E.O. 13559 outlines principles and policymaking criteria to guide Federal agencies in developing policies to ensure equal protection of the laws for faith-based an other community organizations.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is now proposing to amened regulations first promulgated in 2003 implementing E.O. 3279 at 38 CFR Part 61 ("Equal Protection of Laws for Faith-based and Community Organizations") to conform with E.O. 13559. The proposed rule is available at www.regulations.gov. Other changes required by E.O. 13559 do not require new regulations and will be made through changes in VA guidance documents, practices and communications strategies.
VA Partners with YMCA of the USA to Support Veterans
"This enhanced agreement makes it easier for local VA faccilities and YMCAs to collaborate on helping transitioning Servicemembers and Veterans connect to the resources and opportunites that they need," said McDonald.
"Our nation's Veterans, and their families, have dedicated so much in service to our country. The Y is honored to have the opportunity to show our appreciation by doing what we do best-improving the lives of individuals in the communites we serve," said Kevin Washington, President and CEO of Y-USA. "The are many YMCAs across the nation that are already working with VA and providing services directly to Veterans, this formal acknowledgement between the Y and VA will make it easier for that work to continue, expand and flourish." VA is committed to working closely with nongovernmental organizations, such as Y-USA to identify new and innovative ways to support VA's commitment to care those who"have borne the battle" and their families. Strengthening collborations within communities and with community-based organizations helps to achieve VA's goal of improving the lives of Veterans, servicemembers, their families, caregivers, and survivors.
While the collaboration might look different in each participating community, the mutual goals of improving the lives of Veterans and their families will remain consistent nationwide.

It was by only three-quarters of a length that Camelot failed to become the first Triple Crown winner since Nijinsky in 1970 and only the second since Bahram in 1935. His sire Montjeu has been one of the greatest classic influences of modern times, with Camelot ranking as one of his four winners of the Derby and four winners of the Irish Derby. Camelot was exceptional. Not only did he cruise to victory in the Gr.1 Racing Post Trophy at two, but he also defeated 17 rivals to become Montjeu's only classic winner over a mile, in the 2,000 Guineas.
Camelot is bred on a similar pattern to Motivator, sire of the brilliant Treve. As Treve is out of a grand-daughter of DANZIG, this line merits serious consideration with Camelot. Even though Camelot has a second dam by Danehill, DANZIG will be back in the fifth generation of his foals' pedigrees. Therefore mares by such as GREEN DESERT, ANABAA, POLISH PRECEDENT and WAR FRONT create only 5×3 to DANZIG. Altogether three sons of Montjeu have Group winners out of ANABAA mares.
Montjeu sired Bracelet and Wading from a mare by GREEN DESERT, and Hurricane Run's talented son Bunker is another with a GREEN DESERT dam. Camelot should be ideal for daughters of OASIS DREAM, INVINCIBLE SPIRIT, CAPE CROSS, DESERT PRINCE and DESERT STYLE. A Montjeu mare already produced a Gr.1-winning miler to INVINCIBLE SPIRIT.
In view of the growing number of good winners inbred to DANEHILL, mares by sons of this great stallion also come into the picture. Montjeu mares produced the top-class Legatissimo to DANEHILL DANCER and the American Gr.1 winner Obviously to his son CHOISIR.
Montjeu sired Gr.1 winners in both hemispheres from GRAND LODGE mares, so daughters of SINNDAR are interesting.
Expect excellent results when Camelot is combined with the SHIRLEY HEIGHTS line, especially as Montjeu's accomplished son Fame And Glory has a SHIRLEY HEIGHTS dam. A mare by DARSHAAN produced the Derby winner Pour Moi to Montjeu. Two of Montjeu's sons also have Gr.1 winners out of DARSHAAN mares.
The BLUSHING GROOM line should work very well with Camelot, as sons of Montjeu have sired Gr.3 winners from RAINBOW QUEST mares, plus others from daughters of RAHY and QUEST TO FAME. Montjeu sired the Derby winner Authorized from a mare by SAUMAREZ, a son of RAINBOW QUEST.
MR PROSPECTOR will be back in the fourth generation of Camelot's foals, via KINGMAMBO. A second line is therefore attractive, in view of the scale of Montjeu's success with other MR PROSPECTOR line stallions. He sired Motivator and Leading Light from GONE WEST mares, Gallante and Geoffrey Chaucer from MACHIAVELLIAN mares and Frozen Fire from a WOODMAN mare. Montjeu has three Group winners from ZAFONIC mares.
LYPHARD sired the second dam of Authorized, while his sons PHARLY and BELLYPHA also sired the second dams of some of Montjeu's Gr.1 winners. LINAMIX is the broodmare sire of the high-class Montmartre and also of the very smart Ectot, a son of Hurricane Run.
The similarly-bred Motivator is showing promise with the STORM BIRD line, siring a Gr.2 winner from a BLUEBIRD mare and a Gr.3 winner from a CAT THIEF mare.
SHARPEN UP is a path to follow with Camelot, as he sired the second dams of Motivator and Hurricane Run. Montjeu's top son St Nicholas Abbey was out of a mare by Kris's son SURE BLADE.
AHONOORA line mares could be a good match, as three other sons of Montjeu have stakes winners from them.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Alabama – Picking up trash in a creek on a hot summer day probably isn't how most college students spend their Saturdays, but that's exactly what new UAB student Gentry Patterson chose to do this morning.
The 18-year-old freshman from Huntsville joined more than 40 Honors College students from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and another 80 or so volunteers in a clean-up of Valley Creek in Midfield and Bessemer.
The volunteers trudged through the creek bed, picking up trash out of the creek and along the creek bank. They collected lots of plastic bags and bottles, some shopping carts, golf balls, tires, a piece of an old car and even someone's old insurance and Medicare cards.
Most of today's finds were smaller items because public works crews from several cities in western Jefferson County spent Thursday and Friday pulling larger items out of the creek, said Jonika Smith of the Jefferson County Department of Health's Watershed Protection Division.
Most of the larger items were tires, but workers also found a 4-to-5-foot-tall oxygen tank in the creek on Thursday, said Jeff Zissette, Midfield's public works director.
Patterson, who has only been in Birmingham a couple of days, said he thought it would be a good idea to get the know the surrounding environment, and the Honors College provided him this opportunity right off the bat.
"I really think it's important to preserve the environment because the environment is what we live in," Patterson said. "Birmingham is a new city for me, and I feel obligated to see that I do my part to keep it clean.
"It was hot. People were slipping and sliding around, but it was a good time," he said. "It's always fun when you're in a group."
Other volunteers today included Midfield, Fairfield and Minor high school students and volunteers from the Freshwater Land Trust, Alabama Power Co., Home Depot and U.S. Pipe, Smith said.
Cities partnering in the cleanup effort included Midfield, Fairfield, Hueytown, Pleasant Grove, Brighton, Lipscomb and Bessemer. The effort also was coordinated by the Storm Water Management Authority, Jefferson County Department of Health, Black Warrior River Clean Water Partnership and state and federal agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Today's volunteers were divided into two groups. One group walked nearly a mile of Valley Creek in Midfield between B.Y. Williams Sr. Drive and Collier Drive, Zissette said. The other group covered about half a mile in Bessemer from 15th Street to Murphy's Lane, he said.
The tires and metal collected from the creek over the past three days will be recycled, Zissette said. Republic Services agreed to pick up the rest of trash and waive landfill fees.
This is the fourth year for the annual Valley Creek cleanup. Over the past three years, volunteers have collected more than 70 tons of trash and debris from the Valley Creek watershed, Smith said. Last year alone, there were more than 30 tons of debris pulled from the creek, Zissette said.
"It didn't seem to be as much debris this year," he said. "Maybe it's because of awareness through this. It seems to be a little bit cleaner."
Valley Creek gets its start in the storm sewers of downtown Birmingham and the Southside community. A stream first emerges near Legion Field, making its way past Rickwood Field and through western Birmingham, Midfield, Fairfield, Brighton, Bessemer and Hueytown before heading out toward the Black Warrior River.
Keeping the waterway clean is important for many reasons, but one of them is that the Black Warrior River is the source of drinking water for many residents in western Jefferson County, Zissette said.

Are you surprised Kordell's divorcing 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Porsha?
While it should never come as a surprise when a reality TV couple decides to call it quits, I'll admit I was still a litte shocked when I saw that former Pittsburgh Steelers star Kordell Stewart is filing for divorce from his much-younger "Real Housewives of Atlanta" wife Porsha Williams. Heck, we only just got to some light squabbling between the two of them on the show! It's not that they were a great couple, or even an appealing one. It's just that Porsha seemed so determined to cater to Kordell's every whim that I couldn't imagine why he'd kick her to the curb. Maybe he found a country that sells affordable house slaves.
I'll admit that, as often as I've bagged on Porsha for seeming only slightly more intelligent than a potted plant, I never doubted how much she wanted to be the perfect wife. Of course, Kordell seemed to have a slightly different definition of "perfect." It wasn't enough for her to wear the clothes he picked out for her, or ask his permission to visit a strip club (one featuring women, not men, mind you) when she went to Vegas, or generally plead for his opinion about everything she did short of going to the bathroom. He wasn't satisfied. Not that you could tell, given that when he spoke he sounded like he was trying to motivate her to win the Super Bowl, not handle her problems.
Of course, we'll never know what really happened between these two. We know having a baby was an issue, in that she wanted one and he seemed to think she wasn't ready. I suspect it wasn't so much an issue of Porsha's readiness as it was his growing realization that he had one foot out the door and didn't want to cough up money for child support. Looking back, Kordell seemed increasingly irritated with Porsha's repetitive battles with fellow Housewife Kenya. I couldn't blame him, though. I was tired of Porsha's whining, and I didn't have to live with her.
The split will add poignancy to the coming scenes of Porsha pleading for a baby and better communication and Kordell mentally calculating when's the best time to call his lawyer. If nothing else, that can take comfort in knowing that they have plenty of company in breaking up after (or really, during) a stint on reality TV. I see an opening for "All-Star Divorce Court," don't you?
Are you surprised? Do you think reality TV contributed to their split? Will this change how you view upcoming episodes of the show?

A film that exposes how the corporate
food industry sickens and enslaves the nation, but leaves many stones unturned. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho
A fully referenced
version of this review is posted on ISIS members' website and may be
downloaded here
It looks like a scene from Charlie
Chaplin's 1936 movie Modern Times, only worse. The assembly lines process
factory-farmed chicken carcasses, hog carcasses, and gigantic extrusions of
ground up cattle to feed the supermarket shelves and the fast-growing fast food
industry. The workers are illegal immigrants bussed in from Mexico or elsewhere, paid inhuman wages, and then turned in to the police when surplus to
Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Michael
Kenner's documentary Food, Inc. [1], nominated for the 82nd
Academy Awards, is intent on exposing the graphic horrors of the food we eat, starting
in the USA.
The narrators are
well-known food critics and journalists: Michael Pollan, author of The
Omnivore's Dilemma, and Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation.
They take us on a forbidden journey behind the sanitized cling film-wrapped
packages of meat and gleaming tomatoes.
We are inside a
henhouse stuffed solid with chickens, having found the only farmer brave enough
to show it on film and risk offending the corporations that sell farmers the
housing and buy the chickens raised. Our depressed, "beyond caring" but defiant
farmer says she has had to use such large quantities of antibiotics that she herself
has become "immune" to them.
We spy cattle
feedlots out in the open, equally crowded with animals unable to move; we catch
a furtive glimpse of a horribly crippled cow about to meet its fate in the
slaughterhouse lot.
Hens, hogs,
cattle, all meat-producing machines spending the best part of their nasty,
brutish and short lives knee-deep in their own faeces till they are mercifully
culled; and before they collapse under their own weight or from some unknown
illness. It's enough to turn your stomach, if not turn you into a vegan
An idyllic scene of contented cows grazing in
green pastures on a farm in Virginia; the farmer tells you cows are herbivores
meant to eat grass. "They don't eat corn or dead cows or chicken manure." He says.
Hogs and chickens roam freely and happily. All animals are slaughtered right
there out in the open, and sold direct to customers, one man having driven 5
hours for the privilege.
The authorities tried
to close the farm down, but the farmer had scientists test the animals and
certify that his had ten times less bacteria than those in the big slaughterhouse.
One of the consequences of feeding grain
such as corn to cows is that because grain is not easy to digest, it remains in
the stomach and grow bacteria, including the deadly E. coli 0157. A two
year-old boy died after eating an infected hamburger. It led to the recall of enough
ground beef to feed the whole nation. Remember the assembly line where tonnes
of ground cattle are made into hamburger patties? One infected cow contaminates
the whole lot.
Food-borne illnesses like E. coli
and Salmonella outbreaks are on the rise, but they pale in comparison to
the obesity epidemic that has gripped the nation, and indeed the globe,
whenever and wherever the fast food industry has infiltrated. And it is the
poorest people who get hurt the most because fast food is cheap food, artificially
cheapened by a relentless drive for cost-cutting and efficiency-saving
including the maltreatment of workers and animals, by corporate control and
consolidation of the food chain, and by huge public subsidies on agriculture.
The scene cuts
to an American Latino family of four with only one dollar to spend on lunch but
must pay hundreds on drugs each month to keep the father's illness under
control. Yes, cheap fast food does make you obese and obesity is the single
most important risk factor for diabetes, also an important risk factor for
cardiovascular disease and cancer. As fast food consumption increases, so
obesity rises in all age and ethnic groups, and most worrying, type 2 diabetes appears
in children and adolescents.
Why does fast
food make people fat? It is high in all the usual culprits: sugar, fats,
carbohydrates, salt and numerous artificial additives and food colourings [2] (Food Colouring Confirmed Bad
for Children. Food Standards Agency Refuses to Act , SiS 36). However,
further investigations on my part revealed that a ubiquitous ingredient in fast
food, monosodium glutamate, used as flavour enhancer and appetite stimulant,
actually increased weight gain in mice and humans. That is just one among many
other pieces of relevant information left out of the film (see Box), which
completes the devastating picture of the false profits and true costs of food
Corporate agri-
and food business in the USA accounts for more than 12 percent of the nation's
GDP. It is subsidized by the taxpayer at $180 billion a year, some 12 percent
of the sector's total value. A quick calculation indicates that 83.3 percent
of the subsidies go to the big agribusiness and food corporations, and only
16.7 percent go to the farmers, making up half of the farmers' net income.
Cheap food is
profitable for corporations, but the price is steep for the rest of society,
quite apart from the subsidies. Food borne illnesses are estimated to cost more
than $35 billion a year in medical care and lost productivity. But that is
dwarfed by obesity, estimated at US $140 billion a year in extra medical spending
alone, not counting lost productivity due to illnesses and deaths.
Global food retails sales are about $4 trillion
annually, with supermarkets/hypermarkets accounting for the largest share of
sales (more than 50 percent). Walmart is world's top retailer [3]
The US food and fibre market contributed $1.24
trillion, or 12.3 percent to US GDP and accounted for 16.7 percent of its total
employment in 2001 [4]
In 2005, the US government paid $180 billion in direct and indirect
subsidies to agriculture (equivalent to 11.8 percent of the total food and
fibre market that year). This consisted of more than $30 billion in direct
payments to US farmers, and $150 billion indirect subsidies, including tax
breaks on fuel and equipment, tariffs, protective pricing, drought loss
payments and purchasing surpluses. The biggest recipients are the largest
corporate farmers and commodity giants like Cargill and ADM, agrichemical and
seed suppliers like Monsanto and Dupont, Fanjui family's Florida Crystals sugar
empire and meat producers Tyson and Smithfield [5].
According to Daniel T. Gristwold, director of the Center for
Trade Policy of the libertarian think tank Cato Institute, over the past 20
years, farm programmes have cost US non-farm households a cumulative $1.7
trillion [6]
Net farm income is forecast to be US$63 billion
in 2010, up $6.7 billion (11.8 percent) from 2009, but $1.4 below the average
of $64.5 billion in the previous 10 year [7]
James Wolfensohn, President of the World Bank (1995-2005),
estimated the total annual global agricultural subsidy at $350 billion, nearly
$1 billion a day, representing 50 percent of net farm income in the US and the EU. If subsidies were not in place, US farmers would need to double their prices
to make a living [5]
USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) estimated
total food expenditures for all food consumed in the United States was $1.16
trillion in 2008; spending away from home was $565 billion; of which,
restaurants accounted for $440 billion [8]
The US fast food industry is worth $240 billion
a year [9]
An estimated 76 million cases of food borne
illness are reported in the US each year (26 000 per 100 000 of the population),
resulting in 323 914 hospitalizations and 5 194 deaths [10], costing the
nation more than $35 billion in medical care and lost productivity
Obesity is increasing in all age and ethnic
groups; in children and adolescents, the prevalence of being overweight rose by
50 percent between 1995 and 2005. A study involving 3031 young adults both
black and white found those with frequent visits to fast food restaurants
gained an extra 4.5 kg body weight and had a 104 percent greater increase in
insulin resistance [11]
Obesity rates increased by 37 percent between
1998 and 2006, from 18.3 to 24.1 percent of population; the cost of extra
annual medical spending due to obesity reached $147 billion in 2008 [12]
One ingredient, monosodium glutamate (MSG),
used as flavour enhancer and appetite stimulant in practically all fast foods,
is routinely injected into mice to create obese mice in laboratories [13]. A study
on 750 Chinese men and women aged between 40 and 59 in three rural villages in
north and south China showed that people who use MSG in their food are more
likely to be overweight or obese, even though they have the same amount of
physical activity and total calorie intake than people who don't use it [14]
There is a revolving door between US
government regulators and agri-food corporations, all but one have declined to be
interviewed for the film.
From off-stage,
Monsanto casts a long dark shadow. The biotech corporation has been allowed to
build a monopoly on patented genetically modified (GM) seeds, and planted them on
90 percent of the nation's soybean, corn and cotton fields in just 13 years. It
is allowed to harass and intimidate farmers, not just for saving its GM seeds
illegally, but for patent infringement, should a farmer choose not to
grow GM crops, and the non-GM crop becomes contaminated, inevitably, by the
neighbours' GM seeds or pollen.
Not only has
Monsanto et al prevented GM products in the supermarket from being
labelled, so no one can say whether GM food has harmed people, some states have
enacted a food libel law that forbids anyone to say bad things about a food
product that leads to loss of profit for the food industry.
If you think
food was bad enough before GM, you should prepare for worse, though Food,
Inc does not touch on the subject. There is now a substantial body of
evidence indicating that genetic modification may be inherently hazardous.
Whenever and wherever independent studies are carried out to test the effects
of GM feed on animals, scientists find increased illnesses, sterility or
deaths; moreover, they find the same problems when the raw data from studies
submitted by the companies to get approval for their GM crops are reanalysed;
and farmers and farm workers are witnessing the same happening in the fields
[15] (GM is Dangerous
and Futile, SiS 40). The raw data from companies are obtainable only
through the law courts, as they are routinely kept secret as 'commercial
business information'
A farmer who has
stubbornly held out against planting GM crops had problems finding a seed
cleaner for his non-GM seeds. When he finally found one, the seed cleaner was sued
by Monsanto, and under extreme duress, settled out of court.
It is shocking that a nation
that regards itself as a model of democracy should allow its people to be
victimized by corporate serfdom. It is also surprising that there has been no
popular movement against Monsanto et al. The recent victory against the
introduction of Monsanto's GM egg plant (Bt brinjal) in India is an inspiration. It shows what a coalition of grassroots non-government organisations,
farmers, honest scientists, local politicians, and consumers can achieve [16].
Food, Inc.
ends on a hopeful note that consumers can change things through purchasing power.
After all, Wall Mart, the world's top retailer, has taken the lead in
rejecting recombinant bovine growth hormone milk because the customers don't
like it. And it is now stocking organic grass-fed meat because the customers
want it.
So, it is down to consumer
choice and triumph of the 'free-market'; an altogether too rosy view. What
about the poor families that cannot afford to buy organic? What choice is there
for them? What about the farmers that can't get non-GM seeds and whose organic
crops get contaminated by their neighbours' GM crops so they lose their organic
Consumer demand for organic produce is
indeed rising and outstripping supply, yet farmers are not converting to
organic; not even when the country is in fact facing an ecological meltdown
from its GM crops [17] (GM Crops Facing
Meltdown in the USA, SiS 46), another aspect that Food, Inc. does
not go into. The three major crops, soybean, corn and cotton, genetically
modified for just two traits, herbicide tolerance and insect resistance, are
ravaged by super weeds and secondary pests as farmers fight a losing battle
with more of the same.
US farmers are
isolated from one another, from consumers, and from the entire food chain. They
are simply not receiving enough support from society in general. One model that
has worked well is a food and farming cooperative based on macrobiotic principles
operating in Italy [18] Cooperative
for Health, Food Security and Environment Against the Credit Crunch (SiS
42). This could help implement the fundamental shift to organic farming
practices that would put an end to the Food Inc., horror, deliver good
health and nutrition to the nation, and much more besides [19, 20] (Food Futures Now: *Organic
*Sustainable *Fossil Fuel Free , ISIS publication; Organic Agriculture and Localized Food
& Energy Systems for Mitigating Climate , SiS 40)

my thoughts on the formula: Revlon's ColorBurst lipsticks glide on easily, have decent color pay off (inevitably, pigmentation does vary from shade to shade–some are semi-sheer, others more opaque), and are scent-free. They are comfortable to wear without clinging to lips, though I don't find them moisturizing. The biggest downside is they only last two to three hours (lipsticks wear an average of four hours on me), so the wear time could be improved.
The lipstick is packaged in a matte black case with a quilted pattern on the front and the Revlon logo/print embellished on the lipstick itself. I like the matte finish, because it doesn't hold fingerprints, and because it's not rubberized (like NARS), it doesn't hold onto dust and powder remnants either.

Piquant Ratings and Reviews

Overpriced and the service was lacking. We would have ordered another round of (very strong) drinks but the waitress didn't come back for quiet some time. I had the duck & waffles, which was good, but the waffle was cold - i don't know if they intended to serve it cold.
We won't be going back, there's a million other places that are not nearly as prices and have way better service!
Disappointing... for an almost empty res ...
Disappointing... for an almost empty restaurant at dinner time on a Friday service was extremely slow. They were Out of most of the desserts and quite a few dishes even though we had an early 6:30 reservation ( don't they keep things in stock?). Duck and waffles served without any sense of presentation- could have been at Denny's getting a chicken and waffles. The egg for the burger was left off. Truffle fries were good. Given the variety of options to eat in Hyde Park we will be finding a new go to place. Not good value for money.

-Saturday at 8pm. Restaurant was half empty, but we still had to wait for the waiter.

We had only had one sip of the drink when the starter arrived way too soon
The main course was supposed to be inspired by French cuisine, but was NOT

1st time here. Very disappointed in the service. Food was just ok. Server acted like she didn't want to be there. Barista was too busy chit chatting to make our drinks. We ordered coffee/tea before ordering the meal but didn't get the drinks until we were already done eating. Won't be recommending this place to anyone, anytime soon.

Going to Piquant is always a great experience. This was a friends' get-together for brunch on a Labor Day.
The place had both breakfast and lunch options, so everyone was pleased with the offered food options.
The food is always delicious as well as their tea selection.
The service was great overall, even though we were waiting for a check a little longer than wanted.

I ate here for breakfast with my friend yesterday. We had a nice time. The atmosphere was quiet and calm. Love the French inspired music. Good customer service. And my breakfast was delicious. I have to go again to try the many choices of dessert they had available.

Our food was OK, but not spectacular. Did not care for the 'infused iced tea" and would have preferred regular brewed iced tea. Very loud and lots of children at lunchtime. We were fortunate that our table was away from the largest part of the restaurant.

My wife and I have been described as foodies by friends who come to us for restaurant recommendations. This is definitely a place we would recommend to friends. We will surely return to try other items on the menu as well.
We started with the Boules De Fromage and the Chorizo and Goat Cheese flatbread. Both were exceptional items and would be great to share with a group of friends.
For our entrees, I had the Croque Madam and my wife had the Adult Grilled Cheese with Bacon. Both were easily the best version of these sandwiches we have ever tried.
The dessert selections are endless, and after going overboard with appetizers and entrees, we decided to take dessert to go. The desserts made for a great end to the evening.
This place is worth the drive from St Pete for a Friday Night Date, or any reason you can come up with.
I believe this is a brunch restaurant pr ...
I believe this is a brunch restaurant primarily. Looking at their online menu, however, had my mouth watering with the delicious possibilities. Unfortunately, when we arrived we found that in reality the menu has been reduced and some of the exciting entrees which brought us to the restaurant for dinner are no longer available. The martinis were small, and the premium price for serving them "up" was a real turnoff. I had a blue cheese burger, which was excellent, and the truffled fries were tasty and crispy. The broiled oysters were also excellent. It's just that I really wanted the short ribs. Listen up! You need to change your online menu!! Customers actually look at these things nowadays. To cap off the dinner, I ordered a dessert which the server suggested, then she came back and apologized, as it was no longer available.
Excellent meal, one of the items on the ...
Excellent meal, one of the items on the menu wasn't 'available' but our waiter offered an alternative dish, and some other suggestions which all turned out wonderfully. Good service, attentive but not over bearing and the chef came out to meet with us. All in all a great place, we look forward to going back the next time we are in Tampa, will also go for breakfast/brunch as their selections looks great.
Disappointed in what Piquant did and oth ...
Disappointed in what Piquant did and other restaurants have done also. It causes me not to go back again. We had never been here for dinner but enjoyed lunch many times. We looked at the menu on the Internet and picked out several entrees that we wanted. When we got to the restaurant that night, the menu was different and our items were not on it. Classy restaurants keep up with their website menus. Shame on Piquant, you failed our going back policy.
I typically enjoy Piquant for breakfast ...
I typically enjoy Piquant for breakfast or lunch. I was not very impressed for dinner. The menu seemed very similar to the lunch menu, heavy on salads, sandwiches and quiche with only a few limited dinner entree options. I though the Daily Fresh Catch Salad sounded good and also hearty. The server announced the catch of the day - grouper - and then informed us that they were all out and could sub chicken. I thought maybe I'd go for the Ahi Tuna Salad instead. Nope, out of tuna, too. I went with soup (good) and a flat bread (ok). The dinner was to celebrate two friends' birthdays. I called ahead to pre-order mini cupcakes and croissant doughnuts. When I arrived, they informed me that instead of making half chocolate and half vanilla cupcakes, they had accidentally made all chocolate. They were apologetic and asked if that was ok. Didn't seem like I had much choice since I had been required to prepay for them and there was obviously no time to make more. To compensate, they brought out additional pastries with the (all chocolate) cupcakes and croissant doughnuts. With a case full of delicious and decadent desserts, they brought us a plate of end-of-the-day plain croissants and fruit Danishes. I think I'll stick to Piquant for brunch food and not head back soon for dinner or special occasion celebrations.

This restaurant has a great gourmet vibe and uses fresh, delicious ingredients, presented beautifully in very fair portions. The quiche is to die for. The service is always friendly. No place quite like it in Tampa. Highly recommend!

This is my ultimate favorite place ! When I'm there I feel like I'm in a different country and it's so peaceful. The service is amazing and the owners are extremely sweet! I want to recommend this place to all my friends but don't want my secret spot to be spoiled lol

I love Piquant. My favorite thing that u get everytime is the granola meal with the triple strained Greek yogurt. They fruit in this meal is great quality (pineapple, kiwi, etc.) instead of melons which water down meals. Love it!

A group of ladies went to Piquant for a Girls' Night Out, at 5PM on a Wednesday. There was no one else in the restaurant and our server was doubling as the hostess. I felt she could have been a little more attentive, especially when more patrons arrived to eat. A Happy Hour might be a nice addition also. I had a hamburger with truffle fries and took home a nutella croissant, which were all quite delicious!!! Everyone at the table was happy with their food. I will definitely return!
It was overpriced
The waiter went over and beyond. This may be because the restaurant was pretty empty. Also, I made a reservation at least a month prior to our visit. At 5:30 pm the restaurant called me to see if we could get there by 7 because our reservation was for 7:30 and they were closing by 8. I don't understand why they didn't call me well in advance with this information. That was a bit bothersome. The food was good, but it was over priced. We put a request in to sit outside and when we arrived, this area had not been set up for us. I made the reservation and request online. The whole experience was a bit odd. The food was good.
Excellent Service
Our server, Tracy, was amazing! She was attentive and friendly. She even went out of her way to get my mother a band-aid after she scrapped her knee outside. I frequently dine out and I can truly say she was one of the best servers I've had in a while. Thanks Tracy!
30 minute wait for dessert! Not acceptable.
After a nice meal, we had to wait over 30 minutes for our dessert and coffee. I was told they had only 1 "guy back there". Really! How about telling me this before we order dessert so we can be prepared. Oh, in case you are wondering, the dessert we ordered was not complicated and should have taken 10 minutes at the most to be served. The service was mediocre at best.
Good food but service was not great
My husband and I made a 6:00 reservation for a Saturday dinner and planned to eat outside on the sidewalk cafe part of the restaurant. The hostess was fairly rude to us and discouraged us from sitting outside as she felt we would just complain that it was "too hot" and want to come inside. Once she seated us outside we waited quite a while for service. It seemed that there wasn't one server assigned to the rather substantial outside area; but rather inside servers all had a table or two out there. We put in our order and waited a long while for drinks. Apologizing, our server brought drinks and took our food order. It too a VERY long time to get our food but it was delicious. We waited another VERY VERY long time to get our check - in fact, I asked the very rude hostess to signal our server. Granted our server was very nice and seemed to be trying very hard; however, nothing seemed to arrive in a timely fashion.

When I talked to James St. James last week, he was puking and I was high as a kite. Before you get the wrong idea, James had the flu, and I'd just returned from the dentist. But there was a time, though, when everyone around this fey fellow was at least one of the above. That's because St. James used to be one of New York's finest—a club kid. Playing "Ethel" to Michael Alig's "Lucy," St. James was known for his excessive drug use, out-there behavior and even more outrageous ensembles. That came to end when Alig murdered his drug dealer. You can see it all in Party Monster , the film version of St. James' first book, Disco Bloodbath . Now St. James has a new book to promote, Freak Show (Dutton, 298 pages, $18.99), which tells the story of 16-year-old drag queen Billy Bloom. Instead of going to a boring ol' bookstore, St. James will "perform" passages from his book this Saturday at CC Slaughters, even though its intended audience—teens—will not be allowed to attend. Here's what he had to say in between spurts of vomit:
WW : What do you miss most about your club-kid days?
James St. James: I wouldn't go back for anything in the world, [but] it would be getting ready every night with a bunch of drag queens. We'd get a bottle of vodka, put on some Madonna records and just laugh as our outfits got progressively sillier. I don't have that anymore, and I miss that.
To the best of your knowledge, have you ever had, or are you willing to have, sex with a man from Iran?
I've had sex with possibly hundreds of Muslim cab drivers in NYC (they love the trannies!), and you'd think a couple of them would be Iranian—so I'm going with YES. And if I haven't yet, go ahead and bring one on. I love those swarthy, repressed Middle Eastern types.
Will Michael Alig become a blogger when he gets out of jail?
He's like one of those Geico cavemen. He's never been online, used a cell phone or an iPod. I wonder how long it will take for him to catch up.
Do you feel any responsibility to protect your younger fans from the more unsavory aspects of your illustrious career?
I try to live my life as openly and honestly as possible, without apologies—but on the other hand, don't want to seem like I'm advocating or glamorizing drugs and murder to young kids. I was very worried that teens might not get the irony or black humor of [i]Disco Bloodbath . That's why I wrote Freak Show —to have a sweeter, more innocent alternative to offer my younger fans.
What are you Tivo-ing right now?
Kyle XY , Battlestar Galactica , Another World , Robot Chicken , Harvey Birdman . Oh, my God...I'M SUCH A BIG, GAY NERD!
St. James performs with Logan Lynn and DJ Mouse at CC Slaughters, 219 NW Davis. St., 248-9135. 8 pm Saturday, Oct. 6. $20.

Medtronic, a compelling value buy? 0 commentsNov 6, 2010 2:38 AM | about stocks: MDTMedtronic is the global leader in medical technology — alleviating pain, restoring health and extending life for millions of people around the world. Medtronic was founded in 1949, incorporated as a Minnesota corporation in 1957, and today serves physicians, clinicians and patients in more than 120 countries worldwide.Medtronic consolidates its businesses into two operating groups:(1) Cardiac and Vascular Group: Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management & Cardio Vascular and Physio−Control businesses(2) Restorative Therapies Group: its Spinal, Neuromodulation, Diabetes & Surgical Technologies businesses.Last fiscal year's revenue was $15.8 billion out of which 59% was US sales and 41% was international sales. The Cardiac Rhythm Disease is the biggest business with around 33% of revenue.Graph 1 gives the financial trend over the last 10 years.Graph 1: Financial trend
In the last 10 years, average revenue and EPS growth have been around 12%. Operating margins have been between 17 and 34% and return on equity has been between 16 and 27%.Stock price in the last 52 weeks has been in the range of $30 and $46. Let's take a look at its Earning Power Value to come to an estimate of intrinsic value.First earnings need to be adjusted to represent the cash investors can extract and still leave the company functioning. Secondly we need to determine a discount rate. Following adjustment to the earnings reported in its latest annual submission:· EBIT margin of 29% (median of the last 10 years)· SG&A, R&D and Depreciation adjustment· Tax rate of 26% (median of last 10 years)· Discount rate of 12%This gives an Earning Power Value of $32 a share (assuming no growth). This leaves open the question how much value the future growth in Medtronic's business will create. Management guidance for this year is revenue growth in the range of 2 - 5% and earnings per share growth in between 9-11%Taking this growth outlook combined with a cost of capital of 9% and a ROIC of 15% gives a present value of the cash flows (with growth) of $42, as the Total EPV value.Let's take a look in graph 3 at the share price (last day of fiscal year) versus the intrinsic value (total EPV price) in the last 10 years.Since 2009 Medtronic is trading below its intrinsic value. A price below $42 will make it a good buy. A price around $32 is a compelling buy. It will give the stock against current Earnings Value with the growth as margin of safety.

Private equity firm takes majority stake in West Bend online retailer
Discount Ramps LLC, a West Bend online retailer of loading, hauling and transportation products started by a former firefighter, has sold a majority stake to Rotunda Capital Partners.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Rotunda, a Washington, D.C., private equity firm with offices in Chicago, acquired the stake in partnership with Rotunda's founder and its operating executive.
Discount Ramps offers more than 11,000 products, primarily serving the powersport, medical, recreational, commercial, transportation, military and industrial markets. The company has been recognized by Internet Retailer as one of the top 500 revenue grossing sites in the U.S. for the last five years.
Joel Lederhause founded Discount Ramps in the late 1990s when he put some ramps he had gotten stuck with up for sale on the Internet. Lederhause will retain a "significant" stake and continue as a consultant and board member, the companies said. Larry Marmon, operating executive, will become the company's chief executive officer, they said.
"Partnering with Rotunda strongly positions us to continue executing our expansion plan," Lederehause said.
