Anybody got an article or something about this? Because it seems like it would be a big deal and I haven't heard anything about it. It also looks a little fake to me, like it's from a movie or something, the one claw looks awfully white and I find it kind of hard to believe anything old could be so well preserved. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just doubt anything I see on the internet without some kind of legitimizing source so if that could be provided that would be nice.

I've never met a single human being (I realize they're out there but I've never met one) that doesn't believe in dinosaurs. Almost everyone I know is Christian, my dad's a pastor yet he used to take my siblings and I to the royal tyrrell museum as often as possible (which is a museum devoted mostly to dinosaurs and other extinct animals) when we were younger. What I'm saying is there are Christians that don't believe in dinosaurs, but not many, and the reason they don't believe in them is because they're stupid, not because they're Christians. The real stupid people are the ones that lump in an entire group of people with the worst of the bunch, for example people that think of the westbro baptist church when they think of Christians, Al Qaeda when they think of Muslims, and hate filled ignorant cunts with inferiority complexes when they think of atheists, like you. Have a super day.

Some do, but not vast majority? In fact most of the people that believe Christians don't believe in dinosaurs are atheists. People of the Victorian era of England were incredibly fascinated in dinosaurs, yet almost everybody was Christian. Go out and find a random person, ask them if they're Christian and if they believe in dinosaurs, I think you'll be surprised but what you hear.

Apparently it's a Moa. They come from New Zealand where I am from and aren't really dinosaurs since they were around when people were. They were actually giant birds. The Natives here killed them all along with all the other bad ass animals that used to be before those damn Maoris came here.

...That's an ancient bird. Not necessarily a dinosaur. They went extinct in the 1500s while dinosaurs went extinct around 65 million years ago.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Promoters of a traveling exhibit of artifacts and memorabilia belonging to Pope John Paul II will reveal more details of the tour beginning next year in Lubbock.
The exhibit called "I Have Come to You Again" opens in Lubbock on March 15. The Lubbock-based nonprofit National Exhibits Association will provide more details Thursday on other stops of the exhibit tour and the items to be displayed.
The organization managing the U.S. stops says the exhibit will have items from throughout the popular pope's life, from his childhood in Poland through his death in 2005.
It's to have about 130 items, including historic documents, personal belongings, artwork John Paul collected, gifts and art objects given to him.

A new Panasonic Micro Four Thirds lens spilled out onto the interweb this week ahead of its official unveiling. The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-150mm f/4-5.6 HD OIS lens should be along soon - with the HD emblem suggesting that this lens will be optimized for silent video operation like the classic HD 14-140mm f/4-5.8 lens.
Perhaps this is a replacement for the current 45-200mm f/4-5.6 OIS non-HD lens, or just a video-optimized version to complement the line-up?

Live to Fight Another Day: A roundup of what I've been up to.
So I had quite an intensive June work-wise. I traveled from Bangkok to New York City for 10 days to attend an annual global retreat for GBV professionals, then I headed to London to attend the star-studded Ending Sexual Violence in Conflict Summit hosted by Angelina Jolie and William Hague, the Foreign Minister for the UK, and then I sat around Qatar for 10 days writing a manual while waiting for a visa from Saudi Arabia. Finally, I went to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for 3 whole days to lead a training. Then I was back to Qatar to hang out with my college roommate Ann-Michelle on her birthday and finally, home in Bangkok 32 days later.
That was quite an airplane ride...
The jet lag never seemed to end. I had no idea what time it was. I couldn't find my "deep vein thrombosis" stockings for one leg of my journey and any leg cramp sent me cowering in fear that I was going to die from "economy class syndrome". Jet Lag is why black out curtains were invented and god bless the person who did that. On the way to NYC, I worked maniacally on a paper that was only read by one person but on the other legs, I watched movies, tv shows, and played endless addictive rounds of tetris. Playing tetris is maddeningly addictive on long flights. I find myself in a zone where the little part of my mouse brain just wants to hit that bar and to receive a pellet. Very good for turning off the incessantly negative critic. Although I am pretty sure my therapist would say that its just numbing it out. I DO NOT talk to my seatmates. Except for when I get trapped. My Bose noise-cancelling headphones are my savior. I've worn them so hard that the stuffing is falling out of the pads.
This trip seemed to be a maddening whirlwind of happiness, exhaustion, and irritation. I got to see old friends, I connected with colleagues from work, and saw family. I saw people I hadn't seen in years. My emotions were heightened due to the jet lag and I had to keep reminding myself that the desire to slap the ambassador from South Sudan was just the jet lag talking. I had to remember that the feeling of being on the verge of tears was also just the jet lag talking. But the combination of jet lag, mindless meetings and disillusioning conference ennui made me wonder what happened to June? It's all a blur. Here's some snapshots as they whirled by...
Positives:Meeting up with my sister in NYC and spending some quality time with her. Being in Asia makes me feel so far away...but when I'm with her she never judges if I'm feeling lame and just want to lie on the hotel bed for another hour. Thanks for that, Alyson!
Meeting up with my colleagues Lina and Devanna who I co-authored a presentation with... they were tired and exhausted from their work but the camaraderie, laughing, and quick creative thought never gets old. They inspire me and help me get through dull meetings. I also got to catch up with other favorite people like Beth, Sophie, Joan, Nicole, Jeanne, and Lauren. And meet new people as well. The GBV AoR meeting might have been dull but the after hours (or bar module as we called them in MSF) were great.
Fancy NYC restaurant with smart crazy Alec and Susanne in a funky haze of report writing and jet lag which culminated in sparkling Sake! Delicious! Then Brunch with the Esser-O'Leary boys and Alec's sister in Park Slope.
Mexican food in NYC! And mixed drinks in the early summer sunshine. And walking through Manhattan in the warm summer night without sweating. I've been in Bangkok so long, I had forgotten what it felt like not to sweat.
My tuberculosis/ smallpox/ mental asylum/ writer's bar/ high line tour of Roosevelt Island with my sister and friend Eoghan. It was hard to imagine Charles Dickens' words about Roosevelt Island that "everything had a lounging, listless, madhouse air, which was very painful" as we sat drinking beers in the sunshine and being marched in a quickstep by the intrepid Eoghan around NYC. I think we walked 15 miles that day according to my pedometer. But it was wonderful.
Meeting Angelina Jolie in person and getting quoted in US Weekly about my "Brad Pitt" spotting! That's right- others aim for the New York Times, Huffington Post, or even the Guardian. But I know that all aid workers read US Weekly and this will bring me more recognition than those publications ever will... ;)
The positive benefit of being an unwanted visa applicant to Saudi Arabia - spending a week with my college roomie, Ann-Michelle and her family. Doha is not really the most exciting place in the world but their house is like an oasis of family in the middle of the desert. Always warm and welcoming and home made Dosas from Reema for breakfast! I also got a highly exciting tour of the underbelly of immigrant Doha as my Indian driver and I went on a mission to find travel agents, iPhone repair men, and other services provided by the mostly Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi men of Doha. I didn't see a woman that whole day.
An unexpected dinner at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, the Narrows, in London with my favorite person at MSF, Meggy. We met for dinner on the banks of the river Thames on a lovely warm summer evening and she gave me her lovely warmth to help me cope with remaining bad memories from those difficult 2008-2010 years. She was always the best hug to help me during those dark days.
Finally dropping off my documents to pursue my British citizenship. Let's hope I didn't leave it too long! I understand there is a huge queue at the UK passport authority!
Running into former colleagues from those aforementioned unpleasant 2008-2010 years. While time has passed, I hadn't confronted my feelings about that time face-to-face and I needed to. As my therapist says "a growth opportunity". But I guess a positive too.
Eating in restaurants for 25 of those 32 days. No wonder I can't lose weight or stay on a diet. No exercise aside from the quickstep around Manhattan. But delicious food... lovely delicious food.. :)
Non-stop jet lag. It gets harder and harder and harder to recover. I feel like I"m taking 15 years off of my life everytime I step onto an airplane. That there is no plus side too.
Yet to be seen:
My 3 days in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia...

Books that have been influential for my way of thinking
A short and random list of books I have read in graduate school, at MSF, and during my career as a development and Humanitarian Aid worker that have influenced me.
History/Colonialism and Development
- Scramble for Africa, Pakenham A comprehensive look at how Africa became colonized. The surprising part is how late in the 19th Century it actually happened. Another is how Belgium, created as a "buffer state" between France and Germany and ruled by one of Victoria's favorite uncles, became a major player. The events in this book lead to actions and reactions that are still being played out on the continent of Africa.
- King Leopold's Ghost, Hochschild. On King Leopold of Belgium and his rule of terror that would culminate in the deaths of 4 to 8 million. Draws heavily on eyewitness accounts of the colonialists' savagery, brings this little-studied episode in European and African history into new light.
- The Early Spanish Main, Sauer. Reissued for the 500th Anniversary of Columbus's Voyage to the Americas, Carl Sauer's Classic Account of the Land, Nature, and People Columbus Encountered The history of Columbus's four voyages has been told many times. But Sauer's book is still the only work to provide not only a narrative of the voyages and of the colonizing ventures that followed them, but also an exploration of their impact on the peoples, the flora, and the fauna of the Americas. For Sauer, Columbus was simply "a Genoese of humble birth and small schooling," obstinate and increasingly paranoid. His obsession with gold and the rights he had secured brought the first Spanish venture overseas to the edge of failure. His successors were more competent administrators but continued the quest for riches, destroying the native ecology and the lifestyle of the indigenous peoples. Sauer attempts to show that native Americans had a balanced and highly productive livelihood that gave them abundance, leisure, and satisfaction. This book offers a unique view of the "cultural landscape" Columbus encountered and how it was transformed by the Europeans, establishing a pattern of conquest and settlement that was repeated all over Spanish America
- Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origins and Spread of Nationalism. Benedict Anderson What makes people love and die for nations, as well as hate and kill in their name? While many studies have been written on nationalist political movements, the sense of nationality--the personal and cultural feeling of belonging to a nation--has not received proportionate attention. In this widely acclaimed work, Benedict Anderson examines the creation and global spread of the 'imagined communities' of nationality. Anderson explores the processes that created these communities: the territorialization of religious faiths, the decline of antique kingship, the interaction between capitalism and print, the development of vernacular languages-of-state, and changing conceptions of time. He shows how an originary nationalism born in the Americas was modularly adopted by popular movements in Europe, by the imperialist powers, and by the anti-imperialist resistances in Asia and Africa.
The Politics of Development
- Lords of Poverty: The Power, Prestige, and Corruption of the International Aid Business A comprehensive and controversial study of the 60-billion-dollar-a-year world foreign-aid business, Lords of Poverty was a bestseller in hardcover and earned the 1990 H.L. Mencken Award honorable mention for an outstanding book of journalism. Hancock investigates why huge aid projects often fail and demands a response from those in the industry
- Aiding Violence: The Development Enterprise in Rwanda, Uvin explores the contradiction inherent in the existence of massive genocide in Rwanda, a country that was considered by Western aid agencies to be a model of development. The first part of the study focuses on the 1990s, and the second part with the profound long-term structural basis upon which the genocidal edifice was built
- Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and the New War on the Poor, Paul Farmer uses harrowing stories of life—and death—in extreme situations to interrogate our understanding of human rights. Paul Farmer, a physician and anthropologist with twenty years of experience working in Haiti, Peru, and Russia, argues that promoting the social and economic rights of the world's poor is the most important human rights struggle of our times. With passionate eyewitness accounts from the prisons of Russia and the beleaguered villages of Haiti and Chiapas, this book links the lived experiences of individual victims to a broader analysis of structural violence. Farmer challenges conventional thinking within human rights circles and exposes the relationships between political and economic injustice, on one hand, and the suffering and illness of the powerless, on the other.Farmer shows that the same social forces that give rise to epidemic diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis also sculpt risk for human rights violations. He illustrates the ways that racism and gender inequality in the United States are embodied as disease and death. Yet this book is far from a hopeless inventory of abuse. Farmer's disturbing examples are linked to a guarded optimism that new medical and social technologies will develop in tandem with a more informed sense of social justice. Otherwise, he concludes, we will be guilty of managing social inequality rather than addressing structural violence. Farmer's urgent plea to think about human rights in the context of global public health and to consider critical issues of quality and access for the world's poor should be of fundamental concern to a world characterized by the bizarre proximity of surfeit and suffering
Infectious Diseases
- Malaria Capers Robert S. Desowitz's classic about kala azar and discovering malaria.
- New Guinea Tapeworms and Jewish Grandmothers: Tales of Parasites and People, Robert S. Desowitz. Examines the threat posed by disease-carrying parasites and insects and identifies the conditions--miracle drugs, destruction of natural controls--that have encouraged them to flourish
- My Own Country by Abraham Verghese. My Own Country, was a landmark in the literature of AIDS and of medicine. Verghese, an infectious disease physician who had practiced in rural Tennessee, chronicled the impact that AIDS had on both his own life and the conservative, small community in which he worked.
- War In The Blood: Sex, Politics and AIDS in Southeast Asia by Chris Beyrer. Chris Beyrer is a physician-epidemiologist who has spent the last seven years studying the exploding epidemic of HIV in Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand
- Surviving the Fall: The Personal Journey of an AIDS Doctor by Peter A. Selwyn, M.D. In the early 1980s, Peter Selwyn found himself in the midst of a growing epidemic of AIDS in the injection drug users he cared for in his Bronx methadone clinic. Over the ensuing years, Selwyn carried out groundbreaking research on the natural history of HIV in this group and provided medical care to many of those whose infection progressed to AIDS.
Economic Development
- Globalization and Its Discontents, Joseph E. Stiglitz explains the functions and powers of the main institutions that govern globalization--the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization--along with the ramifications, both good and bad, of their policies. He strongly believes that globalization can be a positive force around the world, particularly for the poor, but only if the IMF, World Bank, and WTO dramatically alter the way they operate, beginning with increased transparency and a greater willingness to examine their own actions closely
- Development as Freedom Amartya Sen Cambridge economist, 1998 Nobel Prize, argues that open dialogue, civil freedoms and political liberties are prerequisites for sustainable development. He tests his theory with examples ranging from the former Soviet bloc to Africa, but he puts special emphasis on China and India. How does one explain the recent gulf in economic progress between authoritarian yet fast-growing China and democratic, economically laggard India? For Sen, the answer is clear: India, with its massive neglect of public education, basic health care and literacy, was poorly prepared for a widely shared economic expansion; China, on the other hand, having made substantial advances in those areas, was able to capitalize on its market reforms. Yet Sen demolishes the notion that a specific set of "Asian values" exists that might provide a justification for authoritarian regimes. He observes that China's coercive system has contributed to massive famine and that Beijing's compulsory birth control policy "only one child per family" has led to fatal neglect of female children. Though not always easy reading for the layperson, Sen's book is an admirable and persuasive effort to define development not in terms of GDP but in terms of "the real freedoms that people enjoy."
Humanitarian Aid
- Bed for the Night by David Rieff reveals how humanitarian organizations are often betrayed and misused, and have increasingly lost sight of their purpose. Drawing on firsthand reporting from war zones around the world, David Rieff shows us what aid workers do in the field and the growing gap between their noble ambitions and their actual capabilities for alleviating suffering. He describes how many humanitarian organizations have moved from their founding principle of neutrality, which gave them access to victims, to encouraging the international community to take action to stop civil wars and ethnic cleansing. By calling for intervention, humanitarian organizations risk being seen as taking sides in a conflict and thus jeopardizing their access to victims. And by overreaching, the humanitarian movement has allowed itself to be hijacked by the major powers. Rieff concludes that if humanitarian organizations are to do what they do best -- alleviate suffering -- they must reclaim their independence
- Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures by Kenneth Cain, Andrew Thompson, and Heidi Postlethwaite. It's the early 1990s and three young people are looking to change their lives, and perhaps also the world. Attracted to the ambitious global peacekeeping work of the UN, Andrew, Ken and Heidi's paths cross in Cambodia, from where their fates are to become inextricably bound. Over the coming years, their stories interweave through countries such as Rwanda, Bosnia, Somalia and Haiti - war-torn, lawless places where the intervention of the UN is needed like nowhere else. Driven by idealism, the three struggle to do the best they can, caught up in an increasingly tangled web of bureaucracy and ineffectual leadership. As disillusionment sets in, they attempt to keep hold of their humanity through black humour, revelry and 'emergency sex'. Brutal and moving in equal measure, Emergency Sex (And Other Desperate Measures) explores pressing global issues while never losing a sense of the personal. Deeply critical of the West's indifference to developing countries and the UN's repeated failure to intervene decisively, the book provoked massive controversy on its initial publication. Kofi Annan called for the book to be banned, and debate was sparked about the future direction of the UN. Brilliantly written and mordantly funny, it is a book that continues to make waves.
- The Road to Hell: The Ravaging Effects of Foreign Aid and International Charity by Michael Maren and Carla Bolte. Despite the overstated title, this book is a forceful and disturbing portrait of Western intervention in Somalia, plus an investigation of underscrutinized aid foundations. Perhaps because of the book's ambition, Maren's narrative is disjointed, but readers will find it worth the effort. "[D]oing relief and development work in the context of oppression is counterproductive," he asserts, and his personal experience in Somalia, where, after a Peace Corps stint in Kenya, he returned as an aid worker and journalist, bears this out. While the Cold War fueled aid to Somalia, much of the aid was channeled by local power brokers to further their own ends. Indeed, while Somalia was once self-sufficient, it is now chronically dependent on imports of foreign food. Maren is equally scathing about prominent charities such as CARE and Save the Children, which he terms mercenaries more concerned with self-perpetuation than actual famine relief. CARE, he charges, once shipped food to armed fighters in Somalia, while Save the Children "projects don't work." His portrait of the aid biz emphasizes that it is driven mainly by grain-trading companies eager to unload excess capacity, even as their advertisements feature starving victims. Maren's brief report from Rwanda suggests that there, too, aid is falling into the wrong hands and thus financing a war. Maren maintains that journalists are too dependent on such aid organizations to properly evaluate them, and he proposes that an independent agency be established for that purpose.
- My War Gone By, I Miss it So, by Anthony Loyd. Nothing can prepare you for Anthony Loyd's portrait of war. It is the story of the unspeakable terror and the visceral, ecstatic thrill of combat, and the lives and dreams laid to waste by the bloodiest conflict that Europe has witnessed since the Second World War. Born into a distinguished military family, Loyd was raised on the stories of his ancestors' exploits and grew up fascinated with war. Unsatisfied by a brief career in the British Army, he set out for the killing fields in Bosnia. It was there--in the midst of the roar of battle and the life-and-death struggle among the Serbs, Croatians, and Bosnian Muslims--that he would discover humanity at its worst and best. Profoundly shocking, poetic, and ultimately redemptive, this is an uncompromising look at the brutality of war and its terrifyingly seductive power

Have the birds disappeared from your garden? Swallows failed to return this year? No blue tits on your peanuts? Where are all the starlings?
We've got the answers - and some advice.
It's understandable to be worried when it seems that birds have gradually or suddenly disappeared from your garden, or local area.
Often, there are natural reasons for this though and there is nothing sinister at work. All sorts of factors, including what season it is, changes in the the weather and the abundance of nuts and seeds in the countryside can all have a big effect on what birds are coming to your garden.
In these pages, we describe and explain many of the real and apparent reasons why birds 'disappear' at various times of the year.
Why do numbers of certain birds in your garden fluctuate from year to year? There could be many causes, but what are the most likely ones? More...
Garden birds often seem to be rather thin on the ground in summer and there is little birdsong to be heard. What are they up to? More...
It's autumn but the food you so generously provided has gone untouched. Why aren't the birds hungry, and when will they turn up? More...
If birds don't come to your bird table, don't give up hope. They will discover it eventually! Find out more about the reasons behind their behaviour. More...
You might see big flocks of starlings in your garden at some times of year, but only a few at other times. Ever wondered why? More...
Regularly, there are stories in the newspapers about bird species being in decline nationally, but what does that really mean? And is it true? More...

In Focus
Peace and security in South Asia
In the SIPRI statement on the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, SIPRI Director Dr Ian Anthony points out that the awarding of the prize to Kailash Satyarthi of India and Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan draws attention to a region with a multitude of complex security problems that require sustained engagement.
India and Pakistan are currently expanding their nuclear arsenals. Similarly, both countries are among the world's top 10 arms importers. Peace and security in South Asia also depends, to a large extent, on the success of the forthcoming 'transition decade' in Afghanistan, in which Pakistan, in particular, could play a key role.

Really good vegetarian restaurant?
Is there a restaurant in LA that makes veggies the star, ala Dirt Candy in NYC or Carmelita in Seattle?
Not thinking of Chinese or Indian food, although I know they have lots of good veggie options.
Really more like a place where the chef has made it a point to give veggies celebrity status.
Providence does a wonderful vegetarian tasting menu.
Scarpetta offers a great vegetarian menu offered at all times. Menu is at this link.
re: wienermobile
I can't find anything about it on their website. Is there a representative menu somewhere?
re: sasha1
at Providence you must request in advance. Just call them first. It changes nightly.
Scarpetta's vegetarian menu at at the link above in my post.
re: wienermobile
Oof - $24 for tomato/basil spaghetti? Even if it's handmade... And even if the owner is a judge on chopped...
Just to follow up, I'd prefer a place that had these items on their regular menu, and you wouldn't have to do a tasting menu.
I would love to do a tasting menu, but I'm trying to take care of a friend who is a veggie and also food risk-averse, i.e. she's scared of things that are outside her comfort zone. So a food exploration - veggie or not - is probably not her cup of tea.
re: sasha1
You can tell Providence in advance what she will eat and what she won't eat and they will build the meal around your needs. Very accommodating. Very delicious.
re: wienermobile
I would feel bad, frankly, about calling up Providence and saying - you have a terribly talented chef - would you mind toning it down and doing something kinda boring for my lame friend :)
re: sasha1
This is a restaurant that is glad to do it. As I said they are very accommodating to your needs.
Rustic Canyon in Santa Monica has many great vegetarian options on their menu. I love their fried cauliflower.
Same goes for Gjelina in Venice.
re: wienermobile
Second both of these. I'm not a vegetarian, but I often eat like one at Gjelina. Only caveat is they have a strict no changes/ omissions / substitutions policy, which might not work for your food risk adverse friend.
re: cookie monster
Does Gjelina really have a "no omissions" policy? I can understand a "no substitution or addition" policy, but for the life of me can't understand not leaving off, for example, a bacon garnish (for someone who doesn't eat pork), etc. Of course I can accept a chef's not wanting to leave off an essential component of a dish, but an absolutist attitude strikes me as plain silly, sort of arrogant, and not very good business.
re: josephnl
From Gjelina's menu "changes & modifications politely declined."
re: wienermobile
Do you think they would actually decline the omission of some reasonable/non-essential component if it were feasible to do so?
re: josephnl
Yes. They even did it to Gordon Ramsey.
re: josephnl
(this is a response to josephni's first post, not the second one)
if you've ever actually worked in a busy restaurant kitchen, it would make perfect sense to you. kitchens such as theirs work like a collection of very fast coordinated assembly lines.
the time it takes to individualize a dish throws off the entire line.
add the fact that this has been their policy for YEARS and the restaurant still has lines coming out the door at all peak mealtime hours (as a matter of fact, they've even expanded during this time), and it will make even more than perfect sense.
empirically, it can be shown, that whatever it is that they are doing is "good business."
they may not appeal to everyone, but, truthfully, there are so many customers who want and will wait on line to get exactly what gjelina is delivering, that it doesn't matter.
re: westsidegal
There are so many, many excellent and very busy restaurants that will make minor omissions of the kind I am alluding to, that it's obviously not a major strain to do so. Sorry, but pleasing customers when reasonably feasible to do so is still good business. A great book on this has been written by one of NYC's most successful restauranteurs, Danny Meyer. His book "Setting the Table" should be required reading for everyone in the restaurant business.
re: josephnl
if gjelina and father's office are examples of "bad" business, i'd just as soon skip the book.
if i were vetting an investment in a restaurant, i wouldn't necessarily look to Danny Meyer's advice as some sort of
religious guidance. It's "nice to know" stuff, but far from the be all and end all. i'm not saying Meyer hasn't had success using his approach, but it is far from the only route to success.
"reasonably feasible" is simply a judgement call made by the owner/manager of a restaurant based on a lot of restaurant-specific factors; it is not a call made by the customer. (as gordon ramsay discovered)
if you can run a LONG-STANDING, SUCCESSFUL, EXPANDING, operation without messing with the rhythm of your line, from an investor's/owner's point of view, by all means it makes sense for you to protect your line--the less disruption, the better.
re: westsidegal
There are different business models w/r/t operating a restaurant.
I'm not sure there is one "right" way or one way this objectively "better" than any other.
re: ipsedixit
<<"reasonably feasible" is simply a judgement call made by the owner/manager of a restaurant based on a lot of restaurant-specific factors>>
<< it is far from the only route to success.>>
basically i am agreeing with you, ipse.
re: westsidegal
And I don't think I was disagreeing with you ...
re: ipsedixit
oh, good.
re: josephnl
They are doing an Ok business even with their current policy, so I think that it's their decision to make. I totally understand the reasoning behind these kinds of policies, but sometimes it can be a little too "oh, I'm such an artiste" on the part of the chef.
Honestly, if their food were better, I would mind their policy a bit less. But anyway, they will make omissions in certain circumstances (removing cheese from salads, I think they'll do). The waiter did manage to get an exception made for me once at brunch, for which I was thankful, since I was starving.
Just keep in mind that many of their vegetable dishes are not vegetarian, so depending on how strict your friend is, she may or may not find a lot of vegetarian options at Gjelina.
re: Dirtywextraolives
and Fig in Santa Monica too. Love their Pastaless Lasagna with
Bloomsdale Spinach, Sweet Potato, San Marzano Tomato, Mozzarella also their Squash Risotto with Carnaroli, Squash Blossoms, Chanterelles
re: wienermobile
You're good, Wiener!
I also thought of Lemonade & Tender Greens, if the OP doesn't mind a more casual atmosphere, where you order and walk down the line as you drool over the chefs prepping everything right before your eyes.
re: Dirtywextraolives
in that case i'll add The Veggie Grill also with locations in Santa Monica, Farmer's Market 3rd and Fairfax, Hollywood at the Arclight Theater and El Segundo. They make a great vegetarian crab cake sandwich.
re: Dirtywextraolives
I'll put these in my back pocket but I'm hoping for a little more upscale. Planning a dinner with 2 girlfriends who don't see each other that often. I'd like it to be special.
re: wienermobile
fwiw, my preferred vegetarian entree choice at Fig is their terrific take on curried vegetables.
Vegetarian Sushi at Shojin in Downtown LA. Japanese Vegan & Macrobiotic Dining.
re: wienermobile
You have been so generous with your ideas - but to offer up veg macrobiotic sushi makes me think you don't have any food risk-averse friends!! Lucky.
re: sasha1
My son was a vegetarian so I know all the places he liked.
Pizzeria Mozza would also work well for you.
re: wienermobile
gotta say, i've taken many non-vegetarian friends to Shojin, and they have all been pleased.
delicious food served prettily.
very nice atmosphere, too.
fwiw, imho, the food there is not "risky."
not sure if they've gotten their liquor license yet, if that matters to you
re: wienermobile
I love Mozza. That and Scarpetta may be the frontrunners because one of us is in Hollywood, one in Century City and one in downtown. So there's points for a central location.
Btw, I originally proposed Red Medicine and my lame friend proclaimed the menu too scary for her.
re: westsidegal
+1. I think Cafe Gratitude (in my one visit there) is also significantly tastier.
Despite it being vegan, though, I can't say that the vegetables are the "stars" of many of the dishes, since they also use things like vegan cheese to sort of approximate "regular" dishes (no mock meats, though). It's simply "just" very tasty, well-prepared food.
re: ilysla
the brussels sprouts they served me the last time i was there were stars to me: well prepared and plenty of them.
for an unabashed vegetable-lover like myself, it is nice to be in a restaurant that doesn't think that 1/2 cup of vegetables is a serving.
the serving of brussels sprouts was over a cup and a half, maybe even 2 cups, which, to me, is more like it.
re: westsidegal
Well, if you're going to talk about a dish that *solely* consists of vegetables.... ;)
re: ilysla
what i'm trying to say is that they clearly have the capability and interest in making vegetables the star.
re: westsidegal
<vegetables the star>
Reminds me when I used to drive miles to get to City Bakery to purchase, in a big container, their roasted brussel sprouts. Those and their amazing croissants. By the time I'd reach home they'd be gone...I couldn't eat just one, they were unbelievably good.
Farmshop is very vegetarian-friendly.
Make a meal of the appetizers.
re: maudies5
Real Food Daiky. Oe in Santa Monica and one in West Hollywood. One of my favorite restaurants. All vegan.
You should give serious consideration to Inn of the 7th Ray in the middle of Topanga Canyon: http://www.innoftheseventhray.com/
Unique, serene and beautiful.
Evan Kleiman had a segment on her "Good Food" radio broadcast a couple of weeks ago. She interviewed Los Angeles Magazine's Leslie Barger Suter for the mag's top five restaurants of 2013 (I'm guessing it was from data in 2012? :)).
The growing trend was toward restaurants offering dishes where produce was the centerpiece. The restaurant that took the crown was Cook's County on Beverly.
re: bulavinaka
i'm still sitting shiva over the closing of Angeli Caffe.
evan kleiman talking is nice.
evan kleiman cooking was better.
Wanted to let you all know how grateful I am for all the recommendations. We still haven't had our girls night meal, because apparently juggling schedules presents too big a challenge for us. But when we do go somewhere, I will report back.
Definitely Gary Menes' pop-up Le Comptoir. His veggie and fruit plate is incredible. You can see his current menu here:
What do you mean when you say "...the chef has made it a point to give veggies celebrity status"?
Tavern offers a great many wonderful vegetarian dishes. My Veggie friends love going to Tavern.
Seconding the Le Comptoir suggestion. Great food, and he's really doing a lot to focus things on vegetables. Really love n/naka as well (very accommodating and do great, flavorful, inventive vegetarian and vegan tasting menus), though it probably is not ideal in terms of OP's picky friend.
But to answer your original question, I don't think there's any place in LA yet that really tries to make vegetables the star explicitly. I know Jeremy Fox had been working on some things, but most of them are not vegetarian (though did enjoy his week of vegetarian dinners at "Animal").
Would also recommend elf cafe if you are looking for a vegetarian-only option:

The latest spinoff from the Beta Bodega Coalition's growing empire, Botanica del Jibaro has released a series of astonishingly high-quality twelve-inch singles in the past twelve months from local stalwarts like Algorithm and Cyne. As always with this ever-provocative crew, most of Botanica's recordings concentrate on sundry political issues, from bombing runs held in Vieques, Puerto Rico, to the legacy of slavery in American society. All of this, of course, would be facile agit-prop if not for unquestionably great songs like Cyne's "African Elephants," a hard-hitting romp that's one of the best underground hip-hop singles released anywhere in the last several months.
