- 1992 Called - Wants Restaurant BackOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/31/2014Tan peach textured walls and a plywood bar reminiscent of 1992. Was this supposed to be a French restaurant? No French food. Top shelf for bourbon is Makers Mark and the wine list appears to have been thrown together without thought. Gazpacho was a standard tomato smoothie, corn chowder was sweetened with sugar, crostini was tomatoes (without any seasoning) and grocery store quality goat cheese on a couple pieces of bread, and artichoke ravioli were filled with canned artichoke dip. Bay scallops on risotto were passable. Entrees were a severely overcooked halibut and tough lamb chops. Punctuating the tired decor and mediocre food was the lackluster service - plates and glasses all over the bar. It wasn't cheap either - $100 a person.
- a nice night outLucky4visitorDined on 8/30/2014We chose Babette's after discovering our first choice to have dinner was closed for the labor day Weekend. Our waiter was phenomenal and was extremely knowledgeable about wine pairings. great service and atmosphere. definitely some place to visit again!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Very Nice EveningDiningOutwithBobVIPDined on 8/30/2014Babette's rarely disappoints and Saturday night was no exception. I had paella, which was the equal of any Spanish restaurant in town and my wife had salmon. Dessert was an exceptional cheese tart. Service was, as always, attentive and relaxed; no hovering. We come back every few months and always enjoy.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/30/2014Really nice place--attractive, warm and friendly. Outstanding service. Everyone enjoyed meal but my paella--though fresh and well-prepared-- was pretty devoid of flavor. Killer French breadSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice plates, no Kiwi juiceOptickerDined on 8/30/2014Babette's offers a nice line of appetizers and soups, so that you can put together a good dinner with a number of tastes. Both the gazpacho and the corn chowder were well-flavored. We split a plate of 3 pirozhkis. If we go again, we'd each get a plate. The mussels were large and OK. Not nearly as good as Murphy's are right now. The scallops were wonderful—small and tender. One thing that Babette's does not have is a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc on their wine list. The SBs on the list consist of two CA wines and the undistinguished French version, which we ordered. Not bad, but nowhere near as flavorful or interesting as almost any New Zealand SB.
- Babette's CafefinediningloverDined on 8/29/2014This restaurant is lovely, with a European feel to it; very cute tiny bar at the entrance. Our server was wonderful, very knowledgeable and offered recommendations without being pushy. The Manhattan was an excellent beginning to the meal. I had the scallops w/risotto which I understand to be rather new to the menu. It was delicious and I hope becomes a standard. For entrees my husband chose the lamb and I had the filet w/gorgonzola sauce. Both were excellent, though I wouldn't have minded more gorgonzola on mine. We finished by sharing a wonderful chocolate bread pudding with homemade banana gelato. The wine list was nice as well, I enjoyed a good cotes du rhone. Will definitely return the next time we are in Atlanta.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Three Times a CharmStepfatherofCatsDined on 8/26/2014My wife and I made a third trip to Babette's for her birthday. I've lived in Atlanta for over 40 years; she nearly 30. We dine out fairly frequently, but chose Babette's over others because we had previously had such good experiences. We were not disappointed in any way. Valet parking, friendly greeting, choice seating, impeccable service, knowledgeable and attentive wait staff, excellent menu, superb food, good wine selection, wonderful desserts... . I could go on but that would serve no further purpose. Many restaurants set an initial high standard and then gradually suffer an erosion in one or more facets that contribute to your overall experience. Babette's continues to maintain them all, and if anything, improve.Special Features:
- love Babette'scrankycelDined on 8/26/2014This is a place we always enjoy returning to have not just great food and wine, but, in this instance, a thoroughly entertaining waiter.Special Features:
- An Atlanta Favorite!SusiebatlVIPDined on 8/23/2014Babette's never disappoints - if it wasn't a bit of a drive for us, we would probably eat there once every week. Marla does a great job of tweeking the menu for seasonal freshness, but there are always our favorites on the menu - especially the piroskis with tarragon butter sauce. Also love that you can get a cup of soup for just a taste. I love a menu where I have trouble deciding what to order because I know I'll like it all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of a kindDBenedettoVIPDined on 8/23/2014Babette's is one of the restaurants we really enjoy because it is unique. It's in an old house with lots of charm, mainly because Marla, the owner, has put herself into the entire setting. We love to bring friends here because Babette's is one of a kind.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/23/2014I took my wife there for our anniversary dinner. It was perfect.Special Features:
- Service laid back, helpful, superbDavedinedDined on 8/22/2014The waitress was sensitive to our privacy and helpful in selecting great dishes. Appreciated her maturity and pleasantness throughout the evening. A great example of service with people skills and enhanced the presentation of very well prepared and excellent food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Husband's BirthdayMrsA4LsDined on 8/22/2014It was our "usual" experience at Babette's Cafe. How often does usual mean, "excellent?" Perhaps not often enough. As per usual, the food was great. My husband had the Mussels and I had the Gazpacho for appetizers. We had the Lamb Chops and they even prepared my husband's dish GLUTEN FREE! The wine selection was one of their special recommendations, a Verdana Pinot Noir that paired very well with our meal. And to top it off, I had an amazing seasonal Blueberry Tart (a WHOLE CUP of blueberries) and my husband had his favorite dessert there, the Banana Ice Cream. Who knew gluten free could be so good? So, once again our usual evening of great food, wonderful atmosphere, fabulous service and friendly hellos and good-byes. We'll be back soon!Special Features:
- Mr. and Mrs. Gene JordanHappydinersDined on 8/16/2014We took another couple with us and we loved our experience, as usual! My husband and I usually spend our anniversary dinner at Babette's so it is very special to us. We always order the filet because it is outstanding. The service is great and the ambiance outstanding! The wine list is excellent. When we take friends to Babette's we never worry about their liking it because the food is consistently wonderful! We consider it among the very best in Atlanta and is our personal favorite. The mussels are our favorite appetizer in town! Desserts are also wonderful - especially the bread pudding.Special Features:
- Always A PleasureCarlDined on 8/16/2014Visited again for the Julia Childs menu and, as always, was not disappointed. Our server was on top of things all through our meal. Don't usually dessert but went for the blueberry tart. It was out of this world. We'll be back again soon for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New FindToMaVIPDined on 8/13/2014Very busy but attentive. Had reservations but ended up eating at bar. Worked out well. Had special menu that evening,very nice.Special Features:

- Experience Julia Child Week!FoodCriticinOtherLifeDined on 8/12/2014We normally go to Babette's for brunch on Sunday afternoons. We decided to go to Babette's for dinner during Julia Child's birthday week where a special menu was offered. I am so happy that we made this decision. The food was amazing and I will definitely be returning during Julia Child's birthday week in the future! Of course, I will return many times before next August as the food and service is always superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cozy neighborhood bistroBaysider1Dined on 8/12/2014The bartender is accomplished and just friendly enough; the ambience of the restaurant is good with enough space between tables for privacy; the food is well prepared and seasoned just right; highly recommend for a nice, quiet dinner with a good friend. Older, neighborhood crowd - not a trendy place. Great find Intown!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- My favorite Atlanta restaurant.pickyeaterDined on 8/8/2014Babette's has become a neighborhood institution. The food is fresh and never disappointing. The prices are more than reasonable. Actually, I think they should raise the food prices a bit, but not the wine. Great atmosphere and wonderful service (especially Robin). When my friends visit that is where I take them. Marla is a wonderful host.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Babette'sHankDined on 8/8/2014This is our go-to place for special romantic occasions. We also bring friends and family, as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ConsistencyGr8FoodDined on 8/8/2014The same staff .. the same quality ... the same environment (understates classy) visit after visit. You can not go wrong at Babett's!Special Features:
- A Fabulous BrunchEileenVIPDined on 8/3/2014We started with the scones and muffin basket which was a great teaser to begin. I had the Benedict which absolutely melted in my mouth-I loved the brioche instead of the usually heavy english muffin. My daughter got the sausage and onion omelette-perfectly made French style. Her boyfriend had the Latke Salmon dish and devoured every morsel. Of course, while in the south, I HAD to order the cheese grits and OMG! The best I think I have ever had...Christina was so sweet and swift to serve us as we were short on time.Special Features:
- Another great mealOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/3/2014I have been to Babette's Cafe several times for brunch, and each time it has been fantastic. Food is amazing; staff is attentive. A wonderful French experience in the finest tradition. This time I took friends from London, and they enjoyed it equally.Special Features:
- SkippySnsnVIPDined on 8/1/2014We enjoyed our lovely meal with exceptional service. We look forward to returning!
- An Exemplary Dinner at Babbette'sGTFoodLoverDined on 7/31/2014My friend and I dined at Babette's recently. The food was excellent, and the service was efficient, knowledgeable, and unobtrusive. The ambience was lovely and romantic. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- Babette'stprestwoodVIPDined on 7/30/2014I hadn't been to Babette's in years and I found it just as delicious on this trip as I had years ago. We ordered the fixed prix menu and we were not disappointed.Special Features:
- Babette's is wonderful!ClaudiaVIPDined on 7/27/2014Delicious food, superb service, great atmosphere indoors and outdoors (on the back porch). Everyone is friendly and attentive but unintrusive. A seasonal menu features a wonderful variety of fish and fish, vegetables, and desserts prepared with fruit such as Cream Cheese Tart and Blueberry Pie. In summer, the paella is excellent and in winter, the lamb navarin is unbelievably yummy! Pasta dishes are a bit less successful. Babette's feels special the moment you walk through the door. Valet parking is very convenient. Highly recommended!!!Special Features:
- The owner makes the place...OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/27/2014There is a french expression used in describing restaurants...."le patron"....i.e., "the boss". People use it to refer to whether the boss is present and interested in each customer's personal experience in his or her restaurant. Marla Adams is boss, owner, chef and chief bottle washer. But she manages to do all that and still be very present. I have been going to Babette's since it opened over 20 years ago, and I still love it. Marla never fails to know that I am there and to come and speak personally to me about the food. She, and her restaurant, are gems. John from Miami BeachSpecial Features:
- FabulousJackDined on 7/26/2014This was one of the better dining experiences I've had in Atlanta. The food was unbelievable, and our waiter was so entertaining and efficient. The restaurant is very cute, with nice art. Highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointedtoobadVIPDined on 7/26/2014We have eaten at Babette's before & have always had a very good meal on each visit. My husband & I ordered the Paella & it was mostly soggy, bland rice. Not full of mussels, shrimp or clams. The chicken was so tough I wouldn't take it home to my dog. When I told our server, her only comment was that she would let the kitchen know. One our dining companions ordered the mussels w/ past & said it was "only ok". Our other dinning companion had veal & said it was good. The Romaine lettuce salad was excellent.Special Features:

- Quaint NicheMamadeezDined on 7/23/2014We recently enjoyed Lobster Night at Babbette's. The restaurant was full on a midweek evening, a sure sign of success. The lobster dinner was succulent with just the right amount of seasoning. Our vision of lobster is one of a 2 pounder steaming on a plate with a side of clarified butter. Babbette's lobster is an elegant delight served with a light sauce. The lobster ravioli small plate is a melt in your mouth taste sensation. Erdem our server added a lively touch. He is knowledgeable, personable and made our dining experience memorable. The wine list also boasts a well chosen selection. If only we lived closer to Atlanta, we would be weekly visitors to Babbette's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Babette's never disappoints!SallybDined on 7/20/2014I always look forward to being at Babette's. I can always count on the food to be fabulous--and I just love "being" there.

- Charming and DeliciouseatingmavenDined on 7/20/2014I met my Mom here for Sunday brunch and had a wonderful time. The atmosphere is charming and the service was prompt and very friendly. We started with a half basket of the blueberry muffins and chocolate walnut scones, which were delicious, and I ordered the smoked salmon and potato latkes as my main plate. Loved it. Great spot for conversation. Really enjoyable experience, so I plan to return with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Paul W. Barada
Rushville Republican
In addition to commemorating the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, this year marks the bicentennial of another, largely forgotten conflict which involved the United Sates. It is the War of 1812. This column isn't long enough to cover all the noteworthy events of the War of 1812, but there are a few highlights (assuming wars can have "highlights") of which we should all be aware.
One of the most basic questions to be answered is who fought whom in the War of 1812? The United States declared war on the British Empire, and the war lasted from June 18, 1912 to Feb. 18, 1815. The causes of the war, at least from the American perspective, were trade restrictions imposed by the British as a result of their ongoing war with Napoleon and France, the impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy (although the British contended that many of those merchant sailors were deserters from the Royal Navy in the first place, British support for American Indian tribes opposing American expansion) and, possibly, our desire to annex Canada to the United States.
Neither country was really ready for a war in North America. The British were totally consumed with the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, and the United States was totally unprepared for war, period. The US started the war with a regular army of only 7,000 men. The Navy had only six frigates and 14 ships of all other types. On the other side, the British had 5,200 men on this continent and its Navy had 34 frigates and 52 other types of vessels aligned against us. By the war's end, the American army numbered just under 36,000 men, and the British had just over 48,000 troops in North America. So, it wasn't really a very big war, especially compared to the ongoing war against the French in Europe.
Most historians consider the War of 1812 to have been a draw, with neither side being able to claim victory against the other. Several notable events took place, however, that are generally remembered by most Americans but seldom associated with the War of 1812. For example, right here in Indiana in the fall of 1811, Indiana's territorial governor William Henry Harrison led U.S. troops to victory in the Battle of Tippecanoe against Indians who were followers of the Shawnee chief Tecumseh and his brother, Tenskwatawa. The defeat of the Indians led them to believe that they needed British help to prevent the further advance of the white man into the Old Northwest Territory.
The British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg in August, 1814 make it possible for them to attack and burn the White House, the Capitol building, and most of the rest of Washington. On the other hand, American victories the same year and in 1815 in New York, Baltimore, and New Orleans turned back three invasion attempts by the British.
As a matter of fact, it was the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore harbor that led Frances Scott Key to write the words of what would become our national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner." He was being held on one of the British ships in the harbor at the time.
Perhaps most interesting of all was the American victory in the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Future president Andrew Jackson commanded the rag-tag American forces, but the battle itself was fought nearly two weeks after the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812, had been signed in modern-day Belgium!
Ironically, our neighbors to the north look at the War of 1812 as more important in their history than we do in the United States. Little known battles such as the Battle of Queenston Heights and the Battle of Crysler's Farm are commemorated as Canadian victories which helped prevent American expansion into their territory. Numerous ceremonies have been held this year to celebrate Canadian victories. Despite a fair number of losses in battle, however, Americans considered the War of 1812 a victory, referring to it as the "second war of independence" against Britain.
It seems safe to conclude that the War of 1812 was, at best, a tie for the Americans and the British. Both Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison went on to become presidents of the United States. The end of the war ushered in an "Era of Good Feelings," which effectually ended nearly all animosity between the United States and Great Britain. Canada also emerged from the war with a new sense of national identity, having repulsed multiple American invasion attempts, a fact that we seldom recall.
Interestingly enough, the War of 1812 is barely remembered in Britain today, nor do many Americans know much about it. But from the standpoint of an historic event, I would suggest that burning our nation's capital city, the Battle of New Orleans, the inspiration for the lyrics to our national anthem, the Battle of Tippecanoe right here in Indiana, and the emergence of two future presidents of the United States justify knowing just a little more about an event that changed our history 200 years ago.
That's -30- for this week.

By FELICIA KRIEG
---- — PLATTSBURGH — More than 150 people gathered on Smithfield Boulevard in Plattsburgh to stand up for the lives of unborn children Sunday afternoon.
The local portion of the National Life Chain was organized by Champlain Valley Right to Life, a non-denominational organization. Other Life Chain demonstrations were held Sunday around the country and in Canada, said Martin Mischenko, co-director of Champlain Valley Right to Life and pastor of Mountain Meadows Christian Center in Mineville.
Some demonstrators held rosaries as they silently prayed for an end to abortion.
And while opinions on the specifics differed within the group, their message was clear as they held signs visible to passing motorists that read "Abortion kills children" and "Abortion hurts women."
Mischenko's organization believes in the "right to life from conception to natural death," he said.
These views were echoed by Nathaniel Hughey, 15, of Plattsburgh. "If the baby had a choice or it could say that it wanted to live, I think it would," Hughey said as he faced Smithfield Boulevard holding an anti-abortion sign. Life Chain is the first anti-abortion event Hughey has participated in, he said. He described the experience as "exciting."
Mischenko distributed papers from National Right to Life that outlined the stance of both presidential candidates.
"We're not a political entity ... (but) we do advocate voting for a pro-life candidate," Mischenko said.
As a Senate candidate in the mid '90s and as governor of Massachusetts, Romney supported pro-abortion rights in his political career. He has since changed his position and is now anti-abortion, as is his running mate, Paul Ryan.
"I'm here because abortion is the worst thing that's going on in our country today," said Ken Racette, 65, of Plattsburgh. Racette said he will vote for Mitt Romney in November.
A much disputed point in the ongoing abortion debate is whether women should have the right to choose abortion if they have fallen victim to rape or incest.
Mary-Ali Taft, 17, of Morrisonville disagrees, saying she thinks abortion will one day be illegal in the United States and that she hopes this happens within her lifetime.
"The legality of abortion is disturbing, it's unsettling, and it needs to be abolished," she said. Taft said women who are considering abortion are not alone in their struggles. "There's help all around you. Don't lose hope and there are people out there that want to help."
Another topic of contention among anti-abortion and pro-abortion rights activists is the availability of birth control to women.
"I believe that birth control and abortion are different," and birth control should be legal, Hughey said.
Racette took a different stance. "A lot of forms of birth control actually cause abortions," he said. Racette said abstinence from sex is the best option.
Taft agreed and is also anti-birth control. "I know there are medicinal benefits of it, but I think it's just another enabling factor for irresponsible decisions."
"I believe that any organization that offers abortion services has an evil agenda," Taft added.
Martha Stahl, vice president of external affairs for Planned Parenthood of North Country New York, said abortion represents just 3 percent of the services that Planned Parenthood of the North Country provides. The other 97 percent is preventative health care, annual exams, pap tests, birth control services, family planning and testing for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
Anti-abortion advocates routinely picket outside Planned Parenthood's Plattsburgh clinic, Stahl said.
"We know there are patients who won't come to an appointment if there are picketers outside," Stahl said. "It can be truly intimidating."
Planned Parenthood supports a woman's right to make her own decisions about the health care she receives, Stahl said.

RE: Canter's in Fairmount cemetery

RE: Canter's in Fairmount cemetery
Hi Fay,
My husband has Canter families in his family tree. I think I have seen you post sometimes on Mike Canter's board. And if I remember correctly, you had fulfilled some of my photo requests. Thank you again, by the way. I appreciated you doing that.
I think I will go ahead and approve the edits but take of copy of them before I do. Then I can work on double checking them and if we have different information I will write you to discuss it. Would that be okay? I know I won't be able to get to researching them until tonight.
Thanks again Fay for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

RE: Canter's in Fairmount cemetery
Thanks Faye! I will take a look at them when I finish adding some photos for some photo requests. The records for Fairmount Cemetery I had found online and added the Canters and Ewings interred there for those who are looking for them. Some day I would like to go there to take photos of some grave markers. But that is a trip I can't do right now.
Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it.

India's pioneer MMA promotion, Super Fight League has announced that UFC Heavyweight veterans Jeff Monson and Todd Duffee will meet at Super Fight League 4 on September 8 in Bangalore, India per Twitter.
Monson once challenged Tim Sylvia for the UFC title. He most recently picked up a win over Denis Komkin at M-1 Global. Monson is 3-0-1 since losing to Fedor Emelianenko last fall. Monson is known for his radical "anarchist" politics and has been featured in Rolling Stone.
Duffee owns the record for the fastest Heavyweight KO in UFC history when he KO'd Tim Hague in 7 seconds at UFC 102. Unfortunately that was his last win until he TKO'd Neil Grove at Super Fight League 2. In the interim he lost by KO to Mike Russow, got cut from the UFC, lost to Alistair Overeem on NYE 2010 and then went a year without fighting.
The card will also feature Satoshi Ishii against Jimmy Armbriz.

Town Square
Weekend Grafitti on Cole's Market and around Second St.
Original post made by concerned citizen on Apr 20, 2009

MainStreetDiva is a registered user.
We had graffiti on the Kottinger Ranch sign off of Bernal, just three letters F C U. Either the tagger can't spell, or this is someone's initials or some other private acronym. It's already been painted over somewhat.
I'm surprised to hear it's elsewhere in town...must have been a busy night for somebody!
on Apr 20, 2009 at 3:31 pm
I think they ought to start looking for a Florida State University fan.

it was also on the Cole's Market building on the front of the buidling this morning...probably just some drunk fools....fooling around causing damage unfortunately...

A word from Jardenea
Jardenea is a freshly new, "Farm to Fork Concept," that practices sustainable environmentally friendly techniques. Our goal is to bring a better awareness of food, health, and well-being to your life while insuring to leave the land a better place for the next generation. We strive to give the
complete dining experience with not only the cuisine but our signature cocktails and our seasonally changed wine list. The Cuisine that we create is globally influenced and locally produced whenever possible. Our chefs have a deep appreciation for farm fresh products but also realize these products could come at a great cost and leave a large carbon footprint. While keeping this in the forefront we only source products from the finest farms, fisheries, foragers and artisans that believe in the same vision. The menus are changes with the season and reflect the regional flavors to maximize freshness and minimize the carbon footprint.

Solid performance given by the
team at Jardenea. Fish was perfectly cooked (lamb slightly over cooked, but still tasty!), recommendation on wine was spot on. Staff was helpful without being intrusive."
Dined on 8/16/2014
Not often that you find a really
nice restaurant in a hotel, but this is one. Farm to fork, and done very well."
Dined on 7/17/2014
This was the first time we dine at
Jardenea, we reserved our table early so we can go to the Kennedy Centre for a show. We got confuse reaching there, since there's no sign for the place, we got greeted and seated, we did explained about the timing. Food came on time, little salty (Crab Soup) but entrees were delicious, service was impeccable (first time in DC that our water glasses never got emptied), Wine list was great but the Sommelier shared with us a seasonal bottles that was not on menu, we had it and loved it. Thank you, you will definitely see us again."
Dined on 7/11/2014
My husband and I were going to be
in DC for the night to see a show at the Kennedy Center. We booked a room at the Melrose Georgetown Hotel specifically because we liked the offerings on the menu at Jardenea. They had what appeared to be very high quality ingredients with many options available for gluten-free diners like myself. Their menu specifically states that they are accommodating of individual dietary needs, so we were hopeful. We were NOT disappointed. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all perfect. Our waiter, checked specifically with me about my food allergies, as did the manager. We found the service to be friendly and the food… as fresh as it gets! We went back for breakfast the next morning.. again, fantastic!"
Dined on 6/27/2014
Food was great, service was
fabulous and menu was terrific. We had a great waiter, great appetizer (avocado with crab), amazing dinner (sea bass) and terrific drinks too! Hotel has a great feel; restaurant is tucked away but really cool look and vibe and the service was impeccable. Try it out, great place!"
Dined on 6/25/2014
First time there and we enjoyed
the quality of farm to table concept, food was little salty for me but very tasty, we enjoyed our dinner and we will come back. Service was very good and efficient,"
Dined on 6/21/2014
Second time we visited the place
and had a great experience, thus t I me we sat outside, weather was very nice and we enjoyed every bite, soup was a bit salty but salmon and filet came out perfect, professional service and great wine."
Dined on 6/19/2014
Great find that my husband found,
it took us a while to find it, lack of signage, but when we did everything went smoothly. The service was very professional and courteous, wine list is accommodating to both of our tastes and a special help from manager we found a great one, the food was well presented but a bit salty, when manager asked about the food we told him and he insisted on getting a us a sweet treat, it was a very nice gesture. For appetizers we had the bisque and goat cheese salad, for entrée we had the duck and the beef (husband loved the beef). We will definitely come back."
Dined on 5/27/2014
Good only if a quiet venue is
one's top priority. We spent over two hours, virtually alone. Food (a seafood Cobb salad) was at best mediocre -- unimaginative with mostly wilted ingredients. Good thing we weren't in a hurry because service was desultory. The price/value ratio was almost infinite. Never again...."
Dined on 5/20/2014
We found the place through the
internet so we decided to pay a visit. Wondered about 5 minutes to figure out where's the place located, no signage, anyway, we got greeted and sat by the Director, we were a bit worried since we were the only 2 people there, not even few more minutes the place got busier, anyway the service was beyond excellent, we love the combination of food, the Crab Tian was amazingly good, but the soup was salty, Entree were delicious as good as it was described, we had the Filet and the Salmon and both came out perfect. We had a good experience and we would come back again but tell the chef easy on the salt "
Dined on 5/14/2014
Booked a group business dinner at
Jardenea because it was convenient and the time was right. The hotel lobby, bar and decor was what attracted me. The menu was innovative, the service was professional and the presentation of the food left with me high expectations. I have to admit the wine was better than the food and that seemed to be a group consensus. But, it was clear that every other attempt to compete with other notable restaurants was being made. I admired the service and the courtesies extended. Almost there. "
Dined on 5/12/2014
We were impressed by the quality
of the food. Both fish entrees and the crab and avacado appetizer were exceptional. The cocktails were delicious. The service was however lacking. The restaurant was understaffed which led to gaps in service throughout the night. "
Dined on 5/10/2014
This restaurant was selected for
several reasons: 1. it had very good reviews, 2. conveniently located to the Kennedy Ctr, and 3. Valet service is $5 when you dine there. Although the menu is limited, the quality in preparation and presentation was appreciated. The wine list was also limited because several selections were no longer available; list had not been updated. Service was splendid. We arrived early, were seated and attended to rapidly. During our time there, noise level was very low. All in all, it provides a satisfying dining spot before going to the theatre."
Dined on 5/10/2014
Very nice place with excellent
service. Had great rockfish crusted with coriander. It is in the Melros Hotel which makes the ambience a little harder but they do a great job with fresh local food. Try the avocado and crab and some of the Virginia wines. "
Dined on 5/9/2014
I was a lone diner looking for
something tasty in the DC area and came upon Jardenea on OpenTable/Yelp. I'm glad I did, because I was one of only a few tables in the restaurant (hidden in a hotel), and the food and service were excellent! The hot rolls were fresh and tasty, and I'm pretty sure they knew I was coming because the dish I got had all my favorites: Duo of duck confit with a good portion of duck and 3 fried duck raviolis, crunchy brussel sprouts, and a few delicate garnishes. I gobbled everything up and was too full to try the very tempting s'mores dessert. Would come back here again. It's an unassuming place, but a hidden gem in the neighborhood!"
Dined on 5/3/2014
I'm a huge fan of farm to fork and
needed to find a place for 6 people on a Friday night at the last minute. For the price, I wish the food had been a little better. I do appreciate the concept. If the prices were a bit lower or the food were a bit better then it would be worth it."
Dined on 5/2/2014
The food was tasty and the
portions right. Server was inattentive, but friendly. Not many folks there on a Thursday eve - made one wonder why."
Dined on 5/1/2014
Great food. It was a real find in
dc. Not a huge place but really wonderful to talk and great happy hour and valet parking a huge convenience."
Dined on 5/1/2014
Came over for a business dinner,
was surprised by finding the place absolutely empty, but even more surprised by absolutely outstanding food that was served. "
Dined on 4/22/2014
Excellent service, incredible
tapas, fun atmosphere. I only wish I could have eaten more because there were so many awesome choices!"
Dined on 4/13/2014
Good food with an amazing service,
we had crab tian and caesor (loved the presentation on the caesor), for entrée we had Seabass and Filet, filet is very tender, tasty and well seasoned, the seabass was good but my partner didn't like the grits. Service did exceeded our expectation, it was a busy Saturday, servers and managers were on top of it. the wine list is very impressive with some great prices (Chimney Rock Cab for cheap price), anyway, we will definitely come back and spread the word. Thanks to Jose, Zsolt and the Director (I think William)"
Dined on 4/13/2014
I took myself out to dinner (just
me) while I was in Washington, DC, and, after some research, chose Jardenea. What a great choice. It was early and I was alone in the restaurant and the wait staff really took care of me. Plus, the food was fabulous: fresh, well-prepared and delicious. Highly recommended."
Dined on 4/10/2014
I found Jardenea on OpenTable when
looking to make a reservation at Founding Farmer's in DC. OpenTable showed nearby restaurants and Jardenea sounded perfect, with a fresh, seasonal,"farm to fork" menu. We had a wonderful meal, everyone was raving over the food. The prices were reasonable for such high quality, averaging just under $30 per entree. Appetizers, desserts, drinks, and service were all excellent. They have vegetarian, gluten-free and can accommodate vegan. If you aren't looking for Jardenea, you won't know it's there... and maybe even if you are! It's located inside the Melrose Hotel, and even when walking in, there are no signs telling you where it is! I hope they pick up advertising, because they deserve incredible success."
Dined on 4/8/2014
Great food. I had the sea bass
which was outstanding. A must try!"
Dined on 3/14/2014
Went there with some friends and
we enjoyed every moment in there, at first the location is inside Melrose hotel, there's no signs so prepare to look or ask where's the place. Service was excellent, the food took time to come out but once it did, it was actually nice and worth the wait, managers came out and checked on us few times, water always refilled and wine were terrific. The place was a bit busy, so we didn't not felt like we were rushed on anything. We liked the place and we are planning to visit in near future"
Dined on 3/14/2014
Didn't see a sign out front and
very quiet once we found our way in. Some interesting choices on tme menu and our dinners from sea bass to risotto were very good."
Dined on 3/12/2014
Great Food, Great Service, enjoyed
every moment of it"
Dined on 2/21/2014
We work few blocks away from the
place. from reviews on Yelp and OT we decided to pay Jardenea a visit. Little odd to have a Restaurant with no signage and don't know where it's located, but when we arrived at Melrose hotel, doorman walked us to restaurant . got greeted with server who gave us menus and asked for drinks, menu is small (not use to it) but we found what we need with few suggestion from server. Food came out on time and service was perfectly executed, manager pass by and thanked us for the business (that was nice) but the four stars for the food was the soup (oily and salty not my type)."
Dined on 2/21/2014
The service and ambience were
great! We loved the whole "look" of the restaurant & bar - would love to go back for happy hour. Food at lunch time was ok, We had the crab bisque soup - too much olive oil and I had the mussels - they were ok. The fish and chips looked a little over cooked."
Dined on 2/17/2014
Took a chance on a recommendation
and at first sight, was not clear we were there. No sign, no mention that it is within a hotel nor anywhere other than the street address. No one greeted us and after finding someone, waited for them to set up table for 15 minutes, then was unclear who was serving us. When we requested water, only half the glasses were filled, when we requested a server, different people appeared periodically and our order was not taken until well after an hour after our reservation. If we were not otherwise occupied meeting an old friend, I would have left. The only saving grace was that the food and coffee were not bad at all, but we were also starving by the time we ate. Would advise to hire and train some staff."
Dined on 2/16/2014
The space is awkward; feels like
they placed a restaurant in a foyer area. The lighting is soft in spots while other tables seem to be lit up with a spotlight; very bright and unromantic. Many guest asked for a new table after they were first sat. Plus there is a draft of cold air from the front hotel entrance. The food was pretty good, but not worth the price... Neither were the stomach cramps that my girlfriend and I got after eating the same prix fixe menu. The experience was okay and the service was attentive, but we won't be going back."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Food is decent, ambiance is a bit
akward, tables were being set up/moved in front very loudly on Valentines Day, 8:30PM, Friday night. But the service... the service is without a doubt the worst. Server tried to clear my first course 5, I repeat 5 times before I was even close to finished. My water was empty, my bottle of champagne was not in the ice bucket that was promised to be "on the way", we ran out of butter, and he kept going for the plates. The only thing on the table that did not require his attention. This happened on every course. He then tried to sell another bottle of champagne to us while both glasses were full? I am used to and expect to receive subpar service/food on a restaurant week prix fixe, but this is Valentines Day."
Dined on 2/14/2014
When we read the reviews from Open
Table as foodies we were excited to go for Valentine's day. When we made the reservation Open Table didn't advise us that they would have 5 course mandatory menu. The restaurant called and didn't mention that fact either. My fiancée doesn't eat shellfish and there were three dishes that had shellfish that she couldn't eat. Not to mention that the meal costs $90 per person so we felt like we didn't get our money's worth. We were excited about going but not sure we are going to return because of our experience."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Even on a busy night, they were
extremely attentive and also very accommodating of a vegetarian. The food was excellent. The asparagus and crab meat cigars were amazing. My partner said the tenderloin was perfect, just falling off the bone."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Great place, located in Melrose
hotel, (missing signage). Food is delicious, we had avocado crab salad and it was great, crab soup is mediocre, need a bit work on that, salmon came out on time and well presented, beef is perfectly done. We chatted with Manager, great wine list, he recommended few options and we loved the choices. We will come back."
Dined on 2/13/2014
Good service and nice portions.
The bread was fantastic as well."
Dined on 2/8/2014
We started with mouth-watering
appetizers and moved on to delectable, perfectly prepared main dishes. The pasta was al-dente and served with the perfect complement of sauce. The seafood was also superbly seasoned and prepared and the meat melted in our mouths. Each main item had the perfect sides to bring out all the flavors. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who appreciates great food, and enjoys a lovely presentation. The wine list offered a great selection for all tastes and we found a new wine that we really like from this dinner."
Dined on 2/7/2014
While searching for a restaurant
close to the Kennedy Center, I was reading menus and reviews of places I'd never heard of. Jardenea popped up in the vicinity and I thought it sounded interesting. It did not disappoint. The service was prompt, attentive and pleasant . The food was excellent and everyone was pleased with their choices."
Dined on 2/1/2014
First time in Jardenea for lunch,
we work across the street and we never knew about it, it's a gem. Food was great on time and in a timely manner, service was great. ordered a Crab Soup (yummy) then had Tuna for entrée. water glasses were full at all time. Manager came and check on us. why the 4 starts for lunch, bcoz it's a small menu, you need more options so we can come back more often. definitely will come back"

Legal co-operation
The Council of Europe's legal work is important in developing European legislation, harmonising and modernising the legal systems of all member states on the basis of the Council's common standards. Its aim is to encourage the creation and development of democratic institutions and procedures nationally, regionally and locally and to promote respect for the rule of law.
- to promote law as an instrument of democracy, human rights and the rule of law;
- to make justice effective and available to every citizen;
- to find common solutions to the new legal and ethical problems arising from scientific and technological progress.
Improving the justice system
One of the Council's main concerns is to promote an efficient and independent judicial system. This is reflected in its many legal instruments. Its work is to ensure the impartiality and independence of judges - the Consultative Council of European Judges plays an important role in that respect - and to promote practical measures to improve the quality and efficiency of the legal system, in particular through the European Commission on Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ). This body is responsible for assessing the judicial systems in member states.
The European Day of Civil Justice, launched jointly by the Council of Europe and the European Commission and held on 25 October every year aims to improve public understanding of the judicial system.
Training for the legal profession
To ensure that an effective judicial system respects the rule of law, the Council of Europe is involved in the training of all legal staff: judges, prosecutors, lawyers, bailiffs, court registrars and notaries as well as police and prison staff. The Organisation works to develop training structures, such as the Schools for Judges (in particular through the work of the Lisbon Network) and Police Academies.
The Council of Europe promotes direct contact between members of the legal profession and lays down guidelines for the organisation of the various branches of the legal profession. Regular meetings and conferences bring together people from all its branches, for example presidents of European Supreme Courts, judges, general prosecutors from around Europe and members of the Bar.
The fight against terrorism
Fighting terrorism through international co-operation has become one of the Council's priorities. The Convention for the Suppression of Terrorism and its Protocol and the Convention on Extradition have been widely supported by both member and non-member states. Legislative work is ongoing: an action plan will adapt existing legal instruments to the new international context and strengthen co-operation in various fields. These include the fight against the financial sources of terrorism, special investigation techniques, the improvement of witness and police informant protection schemes, programmes to benefit victims and standards for identity documents. A report on concepts of "apologie du terrorisme" and "incitement to terrorism" has already been published.
Combating corruption, organised crime and money laundering
The Council of Europe takes a multidisciplinary approach to combating corruption, organised crime and money laundering. It is based on three inter-related pillars: European standards (Criminal Law Convention on Corruption and its Protocol, Civil Law Convention on Corruption, Convention on Laundering, Search, Seizure and Confiscation of the Proceeds from Crime and a series of recommendations and resolutions), monitoring compliance with these standards (GRECO for corruption, MONEYVAL for money laundering), and technical co-operation programmes to strengthen capacities to combat these crimes.
The protection of cyberspace
The Council of Europe's Convention on Cybercrime came into force on 1 July 2004. It is the first international treaty to criminalise offences committed via computer networks, dealing particularly with infringements of copyright, computer-related fraud, child pornography and violations of network security. The Additional Protocol to the Convention criminalises racist and xenophobic acts committed through computer systems.
The protection of children
The Council of Europe is particularly concerned to protect children. A Recommendation and Action Plan against the sexual exploitation of children was adopted at a European level in November 2001.
In civil law the protection offered to children has been strengthened by regulations ensuring regular contact between children and parents and dealing with custody and transfrontier access. It also addresses issues related to establishing parentage.
Bioethics, xenotransplantation, biotechnology and food security
The protection of human beings is fundamental in biomedical research. The Council of Europe was the first to draw up a Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine with additional protocols to cover the increasing number of scientific breakthroughs. They prohibit Human cloning and cover organ transplantation and biomedical research. Other protocols regarding human genetics and the status of human embryos and foetuses are under discussion.
In addition, the mistreatment of animals prompted the Council to adopt Conventions on the protection of animals, in particular during international transport or in breeding programmes.
Psychiatry and Human Rights
The Council of Europe also ensures legal protection for non-voluntary patients in psychiatric institutions (there is a specific recommendation for this purpose).
Legislative reforms
The Council of Europe co-operates with member states to ensure that their legislation meets European norms. This assistance covers all aspects of law, from the civil, criminal and administrative codes to specific laws such as those on bioethics or data protection. It provides expert opinions on legal texts.
The Council also helps member states to develop efficient legislative procedures and modern techniques for drafting new laws. This aims to make legal systems more coherent and comprehensible to the general public .
Constitutions and constitutional issues
The constitution of a state is its supreme legal text, establishing and organising its institutional system; it is the cornerstone of a state based on the rule of law. The Council of Europe is active in the constitutional debate in Europe and in seeking institutional solutions for the resolution of conflicts. The European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission) is a forum where countries can pool information, exchange experience and discuss ideas and projects relating to constitutional issues.
Foreigners and citizens
As a forum for exchanging and gathering information, the Council of Europe seeks appropriate solutions through consensus on issues including naturalisation, asylum applications, the free movement of persons, statelessness and related legal difficulties. The European Convention on Nationality, the only international legal instrument in this field, is now in force.
Crime prevention
The Council of Europe is drawing up guidelines on crime prevention and juvenile delinquency. It examines the efficiency of national prevention policies and outlines the principles which states are encouraged to observe to improve their effectiveness.
Operation of conventions in the criminal field
Several key legal instruments have been adopted; they include the Convention on Extradition, the Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters and the Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons. These international treaties are monitored and modified to work in practice. The Council of Europe actively encourages the implementation of the Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Police and internal security services
A European Code of Police Ethics was adopted in 2001 to support the reforms in member states. The application of this code was followed by a Specific Consultative Committee. The Code of Ethics is the basis for the Council's co-operation with its member states.
Prison systems
The Council of Europe provides guidelines for member states to improve prison conditions. Parole, management of long-term prisoners and remand in custody are the main concerns at present. Alternatives to imprisonment are also under examination. Experts participating in Steering Groups are responsible for assisting member states in prison reform, particularly in South-Eastern European States and the Community of Independent States.
Public international law
The Council of Europe aims to create a framework for international co-operation to strengthen the role of public international law and influence developments in this field to encourage interdependence between states; it encourages discussions and the pooling of information and experience by promoting contact between legal advisers.
Administrative courts and public administration
The Council is particularly concerned to foster relations between legal administrations and citizens. Its monitoring mechanisms ensure that public authorities respect rules and that judges monitor administrative acts effectively.
Family law
The Council of Europe has made considerable efforts to harmonise family law norms. It deals directly with the individual's difficulties in private life; it is especially active in protecting children and it adopted the European Convention on the Exercise of the Rights of Children.
Civil society
The Council of Europe is the author of the only international legal text on the statute of civil society: the European Convention on the Recognition of the Legal Personality of International Non-Governmental Organisations. In 2003, the Council of Europe published fundamental principles on the legal status of NGOs. States wishing to provide a firm legal basis for NGOs working within their borders must enact these fundamental principles into their legislation.
Data protection
All personal and medical data must be protected in the interests of individual's right to privacy. This includes information collected and processed for statistical or insurance purposes, police and judicial data and data collected by video surveillance or smart card readings. Confidentiality is guaranteed by the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data, complemented by a Protocol on Supervisory Authorities and transfrontier Data Flows and by several other specific recommendations.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Is Sean Price An Idiot For Dissing All Female Rappers? [Click Here & Speak]
Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 12:10AM
Before we even dig into this topic, let it be known Sean Price is an incredibly underrated emcee. No matter his personal opinion on anything, this post should not take away from his own skills as a lyrical beast. With that said, who in the h*ll does Sean Price think he is!?
Just kidding. No Perez Hilton rants over here. But Sean Price's all-of-a-sudden announcement claiming he needs only two fingers to name female rappers he respects and even has any interest in is amazing to say the least. Nicki Minaj. You mad? Foxy Brown. You mad? Jean Grae. You mad? Well, uh, you should be...right?
"I don't like no female rappers," Price revealed in an interview. "Not one. Not one. [Lauryn Hill?] I did [like her], but she sings all the time so I wouldn't call her a rapper. Yeah. [Lil Kim?] I like no female rappers. Not like I don't like them personally, they don't hold my interest. Except MC Lyte. I haven't bought a female album, a female rap album, since MC Lyte, [1988's] Lyte as a Rock. I haven't bought one since. Straight up. I like none of them. I like none of them, sir. I only like MC Lyte's albums. Let me take that back. Rah Digga. She gets busy too. And my wife is a big Rah Digga fan too. But other than that? None of them. I'm not buying none of they albums. All of them. That's just me." (Vlad TV)
Now let's not forget, this is also the same rapper who told Kid Cudi fans to kill themselves and later apologized. So an apology down the road does not seem too out of the norm. Or does it, Kimbo Price?
"Ok yall named a few females but guess what they lp's sucked they had a few songs but they can't hold down a lp except @therealrahdigga"
"ALL OF THESE B*TCHES CORNY I SAID XCEPT @therealrahdigga MC LYTE AND SYDNEY MS HILL IS NICE BUT SHE DONT RHYME SHE SING THAT IS ALL"
"LOT OF NIGGAZ FEEL HOW I FEEL PAUSE I WAS JUST DUMB ENOUGH TO SAY IT" (Sean Price's Twitter)
Maybe an apology is not going to happen. Regardless, Sean has brought up an excellent point. Most fellas may feel like him but he was "dumb" enough to say it. Publicly, might I add. Although when you look at the mass majority of female rappers, there have been handfuls who have put out quality albums including Missy Elliott, Eve, Lil Kim, Queen Latfiah, Foxy Brown, Da Brat, etc.
But the question is really more vague than we think. What has been said has been said but should we be more upset at "what" was said or "how" it was said? One thing I have always stressed is the brute honesty, most times, rappers can have, on and off camera. Is Sean Price really an idiot for, sadly, dissing all women or truly a Boot Camp Clik soldier ready to keep his thoughts uncensored marching into a female-wide war zone?
SOHH Whatcha Think?

All eyes are on Patriots player Aaron Hernandez as murder investigation unfolds
New England Patriots football player Aaron Hernandez met a media frenzy today due to his ties with the execution-style shooting of a 27-year-old Dorchester man, and speculation that he was involved in the death grew this afternoon after ABC News reported he destroyed surveillance video and a cell phone.
Police also want to know why a team of house cleaners were hired on Monday to scrub Hernandez's mansion, sources told ABC News.
Hernandez, 23, plays tight end for the National Football League team. He has not been officially named as a person of interest in the murder, but he's been a subject of media interest since Odin Lloyd's body was discovered less than a mile from the NFL star's home.
Investigators have been tight lipped on the case, however Lloyd was reportedly at a Boston-area club with Hernandez the night before his body was found. Police have questoned Hernandez as part of the investigation, and unconfirmed reports claimed that an arrest was imminent.
Hernandez arrived at Gillette Stadium earlier today, but left after less than an hour. Sky cameras caught Hernandez driving into a Prudential Center parking garage around 1 p.m.
Last night, The Bristol County District Attorney said police are asking the public's help in locating a silver mirror cover which is believed to have been broken off a vehicle, and maybe visible along a route of travel between Dorchester and North Attleboro.
A Connecticut man has sued Hernandez for allegedly shooting him in the face after the two left a strip club in Miami in February, the victim's lawyer said on Wednesday.
Hernandez allegedly fired a bullet into Alexander Bradley's eye after the two of them drove away from Tootsie's strip club in Miami. The shooting happened in Riviera Beach, some 75 miles north of Miami, according Reuters. Bradley said he lost his eye and has undergone multiple surgeries. He is seeking unspecified damages.

News Archive - The Acadia Hospital Establishes Professorship of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing at School of Nursing
he Acadia Hospital in Bangor has provided up to $250,000 over five years to establish a professorship at the University of Maine School of Nursing as part of what is likely the state's first-ever academic-service partnership aimed at improving opportunities in psychiatric-mental health nursing education.
Through the Acadia Professorship of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, the hospital and the university will work together to recruit a Ph.D.-trained faculty member who not only will teach student nurses and manage their onsite clinical education, but also will have an extraordinary opportunity to conduct research with Acadia staff on the specific needs of populations served by the private, non-profit psychiatric and chemical dependency treatment provider.
"This is a groundbreaking move that will raise the bar in setting a standard of collaboration between academia and practice," said April Giard, Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer at The Acadia Hospital.
Representatives from the university and the hospital said the collaboration makes sense since both institutions share a common concern for the importance of having expert nursing faculty to prepare nurses with exceptional knowledge and skills and a commitment to lifelong professional development for optimal health outcomes of patients and families.
Associate Professor Nancy Fishwick, Interim Director of the School of Nursing, said UMaine and The Acadia Hospital have had a successful relationship for many years. "The Acadia Hospital has generously provided essential learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students from UMaine School of Nursing, both in the classroom and in the clinical setting. As a result of their experience at The Acadia Hospital, students frequently are inspired to choose psychiatric nursing as their clinical specialty upon graduation. I have the pleasure of working with UMaine graduates who now are on staff at The Acadia Hospital. Graduates who choose other health-care specialties are also influenced by their Acadia Hospital experience in the sense of having a high awareness of, and skill in attending to, the emotional and mental health needs of patients and families in all health-illness circumstances."
This new partnership is especially rewarding, she said, because it enables UMaine to offer a titled prestigious position – something that is essential since only 1-2 percent of the nation's nurses specialize in psychiatric-mental health. In addition, UMaine will be able to advance its nursing education program and increase the skill-level of future clinicians. In return, Acadia will have the opportunity to work with a psychiatric nurse/ researcher who will promote scholarly activity which focuses on the specific needs of people affected by mental illness or substance dependency.
Dottie Hill, former president and CEO of The Acadia Hospital, who initiated the professorship but retired in October 2008 before it became a reality, said she is thrilled.
"I was well aware that our future workforce is dependent upon our future faculty, and that it is becoming more difficult to recruit faculty to prepare all nurses, not only psychiatric mental health nurses. My hope is that this exciting professorship will be utilized by others as a template to draw more faculty to Maine and to prepare our future nursing workforce in all specialties. I have long been an advocate for appropriate nursing faculty compensation and believe this opportunity should be the first of many to achieve the mutual goals of having enough faculty to meet the demands of those who wish to enter the profession of nursing."
In 2003, Acadia became the first psychiatric hospital in the world to achieve magnet status through The American Nurses Credentialing Center, which focuses on nursing excellence.
Ed Ashworth, Dean of UMaine's College of Natural Sciences, Forestry and Agriculture, said the new relationship with Acadia "allows us to make the position special and team together to bring a quality faculty member in psychiatric mental health nursing to UMaine.
"This way, we'll be able to emphasize psychiatric nursing to our students and partner with the people who hire them."
