Your eardrum is a thin membrane between your outer and middle ear. Sound waves entering your ear cause the membrane to vibrate, which helps you hear. An injury or infection can cause your eardrum to tear (rupture). This creates a hole (perforation) that may affect your hearing.
Causes of a ruptured eardrum include:
Pressure from an ear infection
Putting an object, such as a cotton swab or pencil, into the ear
A very loud noise (such as a gunshot) close to the ear
Rapid changes in air pressure, which can occur during scuba diving or traveling at high altitudes
A slap or blow to the ear
Seek medical care right away if you:
Have severe pain, bleeding, or ringing in your ear.
Lose your hearing suddenly.
Become very dizzy for no reason.
Have an object lodged in your ear.
A ruptured eardrum from an ear infection usually isn't an emergency. In fact, the rupture often relieves pressure and pain. Still, the ear should be examined by a doctor or pediatrician within 24 hours.
Your ear will be examined. Treatment will depend on how severe the damage is. Small holes often heal on their own. A small patch may be placed over a minor eardrum tear. Large tears may need to be repaired during an operation. If you are very dizzy or have severe hearing loss, you are likely to stay in the hospital for treatment for one or more days.

About LA Servers International
LA Servers International was founded in Los Angeles in 1999 after endless dissatisfaction with a Web host's reliability at the time. Then in early 2005, our entire network operation center was moved to San Diego, even our main office is still located in the western San Fernando Valley city of West Hills.
Service has always been paramount at LA Servers. Genuinely committed to serving our clients for 15 years, they are considered partners and their input is crucial to our company's success. We know Web hosting and have the technical expertise to help your business succeed online.
We've specialized in Miva Merchant since version 1 and are a Miva Merchant hosting partner. Our Miva Merchant experts are also proficient and skilled in custom features integration and modules.
And in case you're wondering, our Web hosting packages are named after famous places in Los Angeles.
We're not successful unless we've given our clients the best service and customer support possible.
World-Class Data Center
Our World-Class Data Center meets the high security and protection demands of any Internet presence. It is monitored 24/7, has redundant systems for connectivity, electrical power, air conditioning and fire suppression to ensure that your Internet presence is always available. Our admins are committed and trained to provide you with continual, high-level network monitoring and load management of your connection.
Miva Merchant Experts
LA Servers is a Miva Merchant Web hosting partner and our network and system admins go way back to Htmlscript days, long before it became Mivascript. So you're guaranteed Miva Merchant and Miva Merchant modules expertise. All our shared hosting packages are outfitted with the Miva engine (mivavm), you don't need an Ecommerce hosting package to run Mivascript applications other than Miva Merchant.
Connectivity Technology
Our Connectivity Technology optimizes the request path to find the shortest route from your website back to your visitor's Web browser, as well as maintaining excess capacity for potential upstream provider downtime or high traffic.
Failures that can cause your website to lose connection do happen, no matter the host. But our unique network architecture lays the foundation for providing the least-risk of failure and redundancy. Single points of failure (single Web servers) are never a good idea but most Web hosts do this to cut costs.
LA Servers maintains connections to multiple Tier 1 upstream providers, ensuring redundancy and reliability for your website's connection to the Internet. These connections are multiple DS-3s via providers like XO, Level3 and Verizon. We optimize the path your data takes so your customers don't have to wait.
Load Balancing and Redundant Servers
All shared Web hosting accounts use our Redundant Server and Load-balancing Technology for lightning fast speed and super reliability. This procedure continuously checks status of all web servers and distributes the requests across multiple servers to maximize performance, as well as automatically immobilizing a troubled server if needed.
Each website request is automatically routed to the least busy Web server. So your website will never slow down because of someone else's heavy server usage or go down because your Web server is down.
Firewall Technology
Our firewall or packet filtering system prevents unwanted connections to your website so only connections that are necessary to your site's functionality are permitted to access your Web server.
Think of this like your home; packet filtering technology keeps the windows and doors locked so that your visitors can only come in through the front door.
File Storage and Backup Technology
Our Network Appliance® storage solutions ensure continuous delivery of your website content. Our server hard drives, each with redundant power supplies, are continuously tested for performance and reliability.
Faulty drives are automatically removed, reported and replaced with no website connectivity disruptions. Full website backups occur each week as well as incremental backups of all changed files each night.
Our Web hosting packages include the most requested features but we'd be happy to custom tailor services to fit your exact needs.

NEW HOLSTEIN, Wis. (AP) -- The FBI and Calumet County sheriff's officials are investigating who intentionally set 2,000 mink free from a fur farm.
Post-Crescent Media reports (http://post.cr/1huY4pd ) deputies arrived at around 4:45 p.m. Saturday to the Bonlander Furs farm in New Holstein after a report of mink on the road.
One of the farm's owners, Virginia Bonlander, says about 100 family, friends and other mink farmers helped locate the mink in traps and by hand Saturday. By the afternoon, about 1,500 had been captured.
The farm has about 5,000 mink, which are mostly shipped to Toronto for hats, coats and jackets.
She says whoever released the mink likely had an agenda.
In the past, Wisconsin mink farms have been the target of animal rights activist groups and some endorse destruction of the farms.

Does this sound familiar? You want to apply Lean Startup methods at your company, but your boss is used to being the decision-maker and is resistant to the concept of testing ideas. Or, you are the boss, and your team is afraid of or unwilling to try new methods. This kind of gap between leaders and teams is common at all sorts of companies. But it's particularly prevalent at established companies, where hierarchy tends to inform more of the action.

These visits will stay tucked inside Marshall's subconscious and eventually help inform her music as Cat Power."My earliest roots are in soul music," Chan tells Interview magazine in 2012. "My grandmother would take me to church ― because that's what you do in Georgia ― and when you go to Baptist church, the fun part is that you sing. Those hymns are all so meditative to me ― 'I'm gonna lay my burdens down...' It's all about giving. Not giving up, necessarily, but surrendering. It's so rewarding, that kind of soul music, because it's so... good. It's just good."Though she isn't allowed to buy any records herself, she listens to her stepfather's collection: Otis Redding, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Rolling Stones. Her biological father, Charlie, is also a rock musician who plays with, among others, Greg Allman. Despite having little interaction with him throughout her childhood, Marshall tells Chickfactor in 1996 how Charlie's influences may be imprinted on her DNA. "He was influenced by gospel, cause he's from Alabama. and his mother, her name's Lena, she still lives in Alabama. He used to go to people's houses and tap-dance and sing for however much money they'd give him, like a nickel or a penny or whatever, when he was like six or seven. He has a picture that I really want of him doing that. He used to wear this little white suit that was too short for him. so he used to go with the kids from the neighbourhood to the neighbourhood black church. And he always said he felt really shy at first going into the church, so he'd listen to them outside the church first, which I think is really sweet. but then he started going in, and he said they were really nice to him. So his influences were blues and gospel. but then when he was 17 he started doing drugs and getting into all that kind of stuff, that whole realm of music that was out then. That's kind of the stuff that he played till after my mom met him; he met my mom when he was 20, my mom was 17, she dropped out of high school, they got married, had two kids."At 16 years old, Marshall and Myra Lee's relationship dissolves, and Marshall bolts for Atlanta to live with Charlie, showing up on his door, according to a 2001 interview with Spin, with a garbage bag full of clothes. The two don't get along, as she tells the New York magazine in 2006: "When I moved in, he got a baby grand. I wasn't allowed to touch it." She switches to a stern, exaggerated man's voice. "'Chan! The piano is not a toy.' Like I'm a child. I'm fuckin' 16 years old. It would make me so sad, because I loved it. So, he'd leave and I'd beat the shit out of it. Imagine if he'd let me play and taught me? Imagine."The new living arrangements don't last long. Charlie kicks her out after flunking 10th grade, she tells Spin. "I was kind of shocked, but I was like, 'Who gives a fuck? I'm not gonna be anybody anyway.'" She drops out of high school during her senior year, and cuts off contact with her father, allegedly to this day. She won't speak to Myra Lee again until she's 24.1989 to 1995Marshall spends three years working in Fellini's Pizza in Atlanta, where she meets Glen Thrasher (musician, DJ, zine publisher). In her downtime, she's teaching herself guitar and easing into experimental music. Marshall forms a collective with Thrasher on drums and friends Fletcher Liegerot, Damon Moore and Mark Moore. They jam and gain a bit of word-of-mouth hype. In 1991, when a friend's band asks the group to open for them, the first incarnation of Cat Power is borne, after Marshall spots a man walking into Fellini's wearing a Cat Diesel Power cap.Marshall and Thrasher relocate to New York City's East Village in 1992. She tells New York magazine in 2008 that it was an attempt to outrun Atlanta's burgeoning drug scene where "everyone started doin' heroin and becoming a junkie." Marshall and Thrasher play with a variety of people as part of New York's experimental scene. She tells comedian Fred Armisen in Pitchfork in 2006 about their introduction to the Big Apple and trying to overcome her stage fright. "[Thrasher] started taking me to all these free jazz shows ― Anthony Braxton, different stuff, real experimental improvisational stuff. And that gave me the confidence to actually physically be on stage. I saw that, dude, those people weren't judging. That gave me the courage to be up there and turn my back to the audience, because it wasn't about rock'n'roll projection, so I felt comfortable. Our first show was at this warehouse in Brooklyn, and my second show was with this dude playing saxophone and this naked Japanese girl screaming."Gerard Cosloy, Matador label co-founder, is at one of these loft parties. In New York magazine, he remembers Marshall as "very tentative about the audience, but she had a presence that said, 'This is a serious thing.'"« Page 1 | Page 3 » GET IT!

No doubt, it is people who make culture… Acknowledging this simple fact, a social movement called Cultura Viva Comunitaria was created in Latin America to promote culture and to protect its diverse forms. When and how did the movement originate? What practices and concepts distinguish it as a movement? How does it relate to the field of otra economía & otra sociedad?
Origin and development of Pueblo Hace Cultura
The core ideas behind Pueblo Hace Cultura and Cultura Viva Comunitaria are part of Latin American historical processes, since our countries host a multiplicity of cultural manifestations. However, many of them have been denied or directly attacked over time. Thus, the aesthetic life of entire groups of people has been constantly threatened only because they are not even recognized as artistic forms.
Since a key issue inspiring the movement is precisely the democratization of cultural life, it can be said that the origin of such an initiative is inspired by centuries of cultural knowledge that has been paradoxically unacknowledged.
However, if we want to pinpoint a moment in time and a place where Pueblo Hace Cultura as a social movement was born, we identify as key Brazil´s nation wide program for Culture Points developed in 2004 by then Ministry of Culture Gilberto Gil. Contextualizing this public policy measure, Celio Turino has explained that it is important to acknowledge that this type of public policy comes into focus during Ignazio Lula Da Silva´s presidency, since it was his administration that had the capacity of acting in favor of democratizing access to diverse cultural expressions. "Lula", as we all know, is a member of the Brazilian working class, and as such, he was capable of interpreting a historical tension which can be framed by posing key issues such as "what counts as culture, who decides what is a cultural production, and how can different cultural and aesthetic manifestations be supported in equal terms".
The Culture Points were thus created as a network to support cultural manifestations over a wide territory, that of Brazil. The only requisite was to commit to an affirmation towards cultura viva. The concept behind cultura viva is that culture is dynamic and it may change over time. As such, it includes diverse aesthetic patterns, languages and ways of expressing.
Brazil Culture Points Network was presented at the 2009 World Social Forum (held in Brazil during the month of February), and later that year, it was once again discussed at the First International Conference of Culture for Social Transformation, in Mar del Plata, Argentina. From there on, it spanned into other Latin American countries, where several different programs and public policy initiatives took place within a similar orientation (more information here).
Therefore, it can be said that Pueblo Hace Cultura is a continent-wide phenomenon, which keeps on growing across time and geography. Over time, other countries became part of the network.
Key practices and concepts: Pueblo Hace Cultura y Cultura Viva
Roughly translated, Pueblo Hace Cultura means it is the people who create culture. Cultura Viva Comunitaria means community culture is alive. These statements may be very simple yet they have articulated a series of practices and concepts that, in turn, have made possible to design and implement a continent-wide public policy. The main characteristics of what is now currently in the movement´s agenda are:
- To support diverse cultural and aesthetic processes, networking across culture points is key, and culture points can be established across borders
- Cultural bridges are being created by networking across points in this very wide net, and these are being supported by a multi-agent perspective that include community people, policy decision makers, and people working at universities
- Popular community culture is often times disregarded, yet it can be supported by acknowledging and connecting culture points across people, if adequately supported by public resources
- Aesthetic codes vary from people to people, and time to time, so a pedagogical approach towards comprehending and valuing different forms of cultural manifestations should be part of any public policy towards supporting community culture
- In Latin America, aesthetic manifestations have developed, many a time, as results of clashes – community culture acknowledges this fact and takes a step forward in practicing a direct democratic way of making visible a variety of cultural processes and their history
What does Pueblo Hace Cultura has to do with Otra Economía & Sociedad?
The initiative of Pueblo Hace Cultura is in line with the core key concepts we have been describing in these columns as related to Otra Economía, Otra Sociedad. How exactly? Rosana Miraglino is a participant of Pueblo Hace Cultura and a member of the Community is Alive 2013 Conference. In closing, I share her views to explain this relationship:
"When we gathered at the first Community Culture is Alive Conference in La Paz, Bolivia, we worked during a week, participating as equals, all from very different sectors: community organizations, community networks, public servants, public policy decision-makers, and university workers. One thousand two hundred people participated, representing diverse views from 17 countries, which in turn, bring along a historical experience of specific aesthetic and educational processes. Being a part of the Conference left a deep impression in my memory and body. I experienced first hand what was being narrated by people from different places yet all sharing the same beat: it is as if my heart was beating at the pulse of a wide array of practices and histories, all in one. In our country (Argentina), and through this process of cultura-puente (culture as bridge and bridging culture), we are implementing cultural exchange through Perú, Argentina and Chile. We are currently exploring by way of facilitating the traveling of an ancestral piece of knowledge, that of the Teleras de Atamisqui, original from Santiago del Estero, Argentina. I see this movement for culture as a movement for life. I associate it with social and economic practices based on exchange, on inter-generational knowledge communication, and on the concept of buen vivir which in a nutshell may be defined as making sure we all live without exploiting others or nature, with an orientation that guarantees human rights for all. I see this process of supporting community culture as an act of direct participation into what is public, what belongs to all. Culture shared by people across the Americas brings us the possibility to enact, directly, this other way of living, based on the idea that we can all live well." (Interview for AN by Ana Inés Heras)

State investigates TB scare at 4 Detroit facilities
Updated On: Jan 30 2014 06:05:19 PM EST
State health officials are investigating a case of tuberculosis exposure at four health care facilities in Detroit.
The Michigan Department of Community Health said Thursday a worker unknowingly was ill with TB and worked last year at multiple hospitals. The MDCH says the worker was in contact with about 560 patients who received dental care between Aug. 1 and Dec. 17.
The worker has not been identified.
The affected Detroit health care facilities are: Detroit Medical Center, Henry Ford Hospital, St. John Hospital and Medical Center and University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry.
Patients and staff who may have been exposed have been notified and encouraged to get tested.
TB is a treatable bacterial disease that can be serious and is spread through the air from one person to another.
Detroit Department of Health and Wellness Director Vernice Davis Anthony told Local 4 the number of TB cases being tracked in the city is minimal.
"Right now, we have no more than about 12 cases of TB in the city of Detroit. So, it's not a disease that is really widespread," she said. "Just because you've been exposed doesn't mean you have the disease."

The rooms were quiet. Good breakfast in the morning. Staff friendly and helpful to accommodate the guests. Loved to be able to use the computer in the lobby. Enjoyed the fire in the fireplace one evening.
Can't think of a thing I didn't like.
it was clean, the staff was very friendly, room had many amenities
Very clean and well appointed
Next to the train tracks--nice that they put ear plugs in the room, but I didn't need them
The staff was so nice and the room was very comfortable.
They did not have an elevator to get to the second level but for us that wasn't a big deal.
It was fairly clean.
There was no smoke detector, taped off wires were hanging where the smoke detector was supposed to be. The toilet seat was broken. The side entrance door remained in open, as plunger was sticking out.
The huge fireplace and the warm reception from the staff waas warm.
This is winter in Mountain Iron and zero is to cold!
Only good thing was it was new and clean. 40 corporate years of staying in HI never, never have I had such a miserable stay which the young boys working the counter could, or would, do anything about.
Both our rooms, one on the first floor, second on the third floor were up against the elevator hydraulic system that ran all night long. These room should have been insulated against such a miserable condition. Have never had such an experience in any HI.

We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

|Official Title ICMJE
|A Phase III Randomized Trial of Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (Mylotarg) Combined With Conventional Chemotherapy for De Novo Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults
|Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving combination chemotherapy together with gemtuzumab may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without gemtuzumab in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying combination chemotherapy and gemtuzumab to see how well they work compared with combination chemotherapy alone in treating young patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
|Detailed Description
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to relapse risk (high vs intermediate vs low). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Patients with Down syndrome are nonrandomly assigned to arm I (but do not undergo allogeneic stem cell transplant [SCT]).
NOTE: *Patients with CNS disease receive cytarabine IT twice weekly until the cerebrospinal fluid is clear, followed by two additional IT treatments. Patients with refractory CNS leukemia after 6 doses of IT treatment are removed from the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 3 years and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,012 patients will be accrued for this study.

Planning Your Own Primetimers Event
Though the focus of a Primetimers trip varies from an UMVIM trip, planning a Primetimers-like event for your church is similar to planning an UMVIM trip. Because of the similarities, you will want to work with your Jurisdictional UMVIM Coordinator as they can help you identify resources available to you as a team leader.
Talk with fellow church members to see if there is interest in a mission study trip for older adults.
Determine whether you are interested in a community, conference, national or international project.
Look for an organization to connect with in an area where there may be educational opportunities as well as some element of work which is appropriate for the group.
Talk with the host and explain that you are interested in creating an educational study trip with educational components. (NOTE: The Host cannot be expected to make arrangements for these educational pieces. These will need to be coordinated by your church's team leadership in conjunction with the host site.)
Determine the focus and the goals of the program that you hope to offer.
Give consideration to ways of building in diversity (cultural, racial, gender, etc.) in terms of both leadership and exposures/interactions.
Consider balance in the educational portion of the program, including: lecture, experiences with people and local culture, interactive exercises, small group discussions from a faith perspective, music or other arts, local museums, local tours of the area, cultural performances, discussions with a local advocacy group, quiet time for reflection, and worship.
The recommended amount of service or work during a 5-7 day Primetimers experience is roughly estimated at 5-20 hours, depending on context and conditions. Remember that the primary focus of the program is education and exposure, in addition to service.
Go over the schedule with your hosts to ensure that the work types you have scheduled are beneficial to them.
Work out final details with speakers/presenters.
Determine the size of the group that you hope to have.
Determine the length of the event and dates.
Consider the range of sleeping accommodations which your group can use.
Make sure you have a place where lectures can be held. (Is the local organization able to host your group for a presentation?)
Consider if accommodations are accessible for persons with limited mobility. E.g., does it include extensive walking, rough terrain, climbing stairs, etc.?
Consider how you will get to the various events and/or exposures. Make arrangements for any necessary transportation.
In considering the costs per participant, consider the following:
rooming (any single or deluxe room supplements?)
food, including any meals that will be off-site
honorariums for lecturers
It will vary based on setting, but we recommend: $50 per hour of presentation or $125 per entire lecture/ presentation (not to exceed $300 for the week in faculty) adding up to an approximate $700 educational budget total with $300 in cultural exposure/entertainment
translation costs
reading materials or duplicating hand-out materials
local transportation costs
service project materials
use of facilities, equipment, or administration

Little One Lyrics - Tragedy Ann
She is so innocent as she dances around
and the preacher teaches how to humble the soul
I can imagine the angels' joy to look upon her loving eyes
As she dances round and round...
She's only three, but she knows Him so much different than me,
God deliver me.
I want to live like this child, Lord.
Holding hands and following You
and dancing round and around and around
She is dancing with her Maker
She is holding hands with Him
There is nothing she can do to keep Him from her heart

Green Olive closed!
I had a Green Olive craving tonight, so stopped in for something to take home. But got the most unsettling news that it made me lose my appetite: tonight is Green Olive's last night of business. They've been bought by something called Pita Place (?) in the Valley.
I'm so upset - and Zankou doesn't cut it for me. There's nothing like Green Olive's chicken kabob - which comes with (came with) rice, hummus, greek salad and that yummy spicy green sauce.
Very disappointing. You are right that the chicken kabob at Green Olive was very good (and the overcooked chickens at Zankou horrible). Let's be optimistic - maybe Pita Place will be good as well. It's not a great location and they definitely need better signage to get more customers.
I wonder how long the transition will take. Since all the other options in the neighborhood are unspeakable, I have been eating lunch almost every day at Green Olive. So, for now, I have no place within walking distance for lunch.
re: omotosando
fish grill is pretty good.
re: kevin
Actually, I went to Fish Grill last night after checking out Green Olive and talking to the new owner. Fish Grill is really not good - after a meal at Green Olive, I always felt great. After the Fish Grill, the food just felt like lead. And would it kill the Fish Grill to offer a vegetable - a leaden baked potato and soggy coleslaw don't count.
I stopped by this evening. They are not open yet, but the new owner was there. They have stores in Woodland Hills and Sherman Oaks and he said they are very well known for their hummus (that would be a good thing, since as much as I liked Green Olive, their hummus was a weak link). He also said they are known for their chicken and that they make their falafel from real garbanzo beans rather than canned.
The new owner also said they are redoing the interior to make it brighter and that they would have better signage than Green Olive had.
Best of all, he said they will deliver. Here's hoping for the best. They should be open in about a week.
P.S. Any Valleyites know Pita Place's stores in Woodland Hills or Sherman Oaks?
re: omotosando
but will they have the pretty good green olive style gyros?
re: kevin
The new owner said they are going to have gyros. What I will miss the most is the Green Olive's spicy green sauce. That stuff was addictive. Maybe we can convince them to open somewhere else on the Westside. The location was just not great - there were never enough people in there and the poor signage didn't help.
re: omotosando
Live in Sherman Oaks and have no idea where Pita Place is. I think we went to one in Mammoth last summer (it was definitely a franchise) but it might have been another name. It was passable.
re: Debbie W
After doing some sleuthing, I think this is actually going to be a branch of "California Pita & Grill," since that is the only "pita" restaurant I could find that has branches in both Woodland Hills and Sherman Oaks.
Anyone know this place?
I Googled them and found an online menu. I'm hoping for the best, but the menu doesn't look very good. They offer a lot of different things (hamburgers for instance) and my experience is that quick food places that offer a lot of menu choices (rather than concentrating on a few dishes) generally have mediocre food.
Looking for a Green Olive substitute, I had lunch today at the Greek Kabob at Olympic and Bundy. It was dreadful. Only makes the loss of Green Olive more difficult. Sigh.
re: omotosando
yeah, the paper posted up next to the help wanted sign stated "california pita" if it's any consolation there's still the orinigal green olive in commerce, at least i hope so.
My boyfriend and I went last night too. I was drooling for the gyros and he had his tastbudes set on the chicken kabobs! =( It was rather sad. We were both starving and settled for Rubio's. So disappointing.
The one in Mammoth is Pita Pit, not Pita Place. And, it's average.
I already miss Green Olive. Such a bummer!
The new place - California Pita - is open and I am sad to report that it is a pale imitation of the Green Olive.
The new owner had bragged to me how they are famous for their chicken and it was going to be so much better than the inferior chicken at the Green Olive (I was frankly a little taken aback by how he was dissing the Green Olive, especially since I thought the place was excellent). Not. If the chicken kabob at Green Olive was an 8 or 9, the chicken at California Pita is a 2 or 2 1/2 at most.
The Green Olive had succulent kabob. It took a long time for it to cook, but it was worth the wait. California Pita doesn't even have kabob. Instead, it serves strips of chicken (probably because flat strips cook quicker). The chicken strips were highly mediocre. And instead of the tasty spicy sauce that Green Olive served, the chicken came with a yellow sauce that tasted exactly like mayonnaise. I happen to dislike mayonnaise and, hence, hated the sauce.
The salad was vastly overdressed. I suppose the overdressing could be corrected by telling them not to drench the salad, but the dressing wasn't as tasty as the dressing used by Green Olive.
The hummus (which didn't come with the chicken, but cost extra) was mediocre - reminded me of the hummus at Zankou.
I was disappointed. I don't think I will be returning. The Green Olive was such a gem in a sea of mediocrity in West L.A. Now there is one more mediocre joint joining its brethern in West L.A.
I will be curious to hear what others think.
P.S. For those who are into quantity over quality, the chicken portion was huge - the largest portion I have had at any Mediterranean-Middle Eastern place. Perhaps when the owner told me they were famous for their chicken, he meant for their gargantuan portions.. . Non-discriminating teenagers and college students with huge appetites might enjoy this place.
re: omotosando
damnit, at least they could've opened a subway in that spot, but they had to tempt us.
oh, well, i may just have to take a visit to commerce to the original The Green Olive.
re: kevin
Actually, there is a Subway just down the street (west) in the same mini-mall as the awful buffet place, the awful sushi place, the awful Mexican place, the awful Vietnamese place and the awful Indian place.
I'm a kabob person, not a gyros person, so I never tried the gyros at Green Olive. Perhaps the gyros at California Pita are decent. I'm skeptical; however. I am sure others will weigh in.
re: omotosando
Oh, this makes me so sad...I hardly knew ye Green Olive!
BTW, if you're looking for killer kebabs, shawarma, and hummus, Sunnin on Westwood isn't that far away. No gyros, though...
re: a_and_w
did u mention Habayit? pretty good stuff, and it's a real israel falafel, not overloaded with stuff and the real israeli (tomato/cucumber salad).
the stuffed cabbage also looks tempting there and the turkish salad.
re: a_and_w
I love the hummus at Sunnin, but suprisingly their kabob (both chicken and beef) is not very good. Not juicy and succulent like Green Olive, but dried out. I won't order it. I've also had the chicken at Habayit, and again, not as good as Green Olive was.
re: omotosando
Bummer! Have you tried the kosher grill at Santa Monica and Colby on Sundays? I haven't tried them yet myself but they smell phenomenal and my friend swears by them...
re: a_and_w
is that right outside the santa monica kosher market?
re: a_and_w
No, I have never heard of any kosher Middle Eastern restaurant in West L.A. other than Habayit. Is this other restaurant somehow only open on Sundays?
I have not had good luck with kosher Middle Eastern food in L.A., although I think I heard there a few good places in the SFV. I think Nagila is terrible and Habayit only so-so. It seems like kosher restaurants have a captive audience who will only eat kosher, so they don't have to try very hard to be great because people don't have a lot of other options.
re: omotosando
i did like habayit though, it wasn't exceptional but the falafels felt like the real deal and the decor/atmosphere reminds one of the casual joints in Israel.
re: a_and_w
Finally tried the Kosher Grill this past Sunday and was quite impressed! The chicken, in particular, was absurdly tender. If you're still looking for a succulent and flavorful chicken kabob in the area, this may be the place.
re: a_and_w
where's kosher grill? thanks.
re: a_and_w
love that market, kosher persian cue on sundays sounds good.
re: omotosando
Makes me so sad, I hesitated to try the new place before, now I'm doubly hesitant. I miss Green Olive so much!
re: a_and_w
Remember I only tried the chicken. It's possible that other things are better.
re: a_and_w
I went there last week.
Gross humous......kabos were "ok"...i doubt I'll go back though
Having a chicken kabob craving this afternoon and seeking out a substitute for the late great Green Olive, I decided to give Gaby's on Venice Blvd. a try. I had been there a few years ago and was seriously underwhelmed, but Gaby's always comes up on this Board, so I decided to give it another try.
Well, it was better than California Pita (not hard), but if the chicken kabob at Green Olive was an 8 or 9, Gaby's was a 4 1/2 at best. Plus, at $9.50, it was more expensive than Green Olive and did not come with hummus, which needed to be purchased as a side for $4.50. The hummus was okay, although not as good as the hummus at Sunnin (although the mystery at Sunnin is why they can make good hummus, but cannot make a decent kabob). When I'm up for braving the parking at Farmer's Market, Moishe's does make a mean lamb kabob though.
The only chicken kabob that I have found on the Westside/mid-City area that comes close to the kabob at the late great Green Olive is Moishe's in the Farmer's Market, but still I would give the edge to Green Olive's chicken kabob and also the parking at the Farmer's Market is seriously inconvenient when you are only looking for a quick bite.

Had lunch at California Pita (on Wilshire) today. I didn't have a chance to try this place when it was Green Olives, but I have to report that the food was good. I had the gyro plate. Generous amount of gyro, the meat was very tender and not salty - usually I'm afraid it's going to be dry and they just give shavings of meat. But the food came out hot off the grill, rice was fluffy, and the pitas were perfectly warmed. Much better than the other alternative nearby which is "Gyro Place" on Bundy and Olympic Blvd. Yuck.

Ah, if you could have only tasted the delights of the Green Olive. California Pita is a major step down.
This is an old thread, but I totally thought of it after eating a truly succulent chicken kebab from Shamshiri Grill. I also followed a tip by westsidegal and substituted one of their specialty rices, which was awesome.
