Tapas that are worth the walk
Bar hopping for traditional small plates
In typical summer fashion, San Francisco is cloaked in a damp gray blanket when I meet Kevin Hogan in one of those downtown alleys lined with sidewalk tables and shivering diners. A darkened doorway draws us into Gitane, our first stop on a nightlong tapeo, or tapas stroll.
Hogan, the wine buyer for Berkeley's Spanish Table store, has orchestrated our route, a 1 1/2-mile walk that will showcase an emerging Iberian village. In this new little world straddling North Beach, the Financial District and Russian Hill, a Bay Area tapas enthusiast with good walking shoes can do the sort of bar hopping that many Spaniards enjoy nightly.
"I couldn't have done this two years ago," says Hogan, who conducts a guided tapeo monthly for paying guests. "The critical mass of places didn't exist."
But on this chilly evening, Hogan is escorting my husband and me on a private tapeo, beginning with dry sherry at the 8-month-old Gitane.
"They have a great range of the ones I really like," says Hogan, as we decide on drinks at the restaurant's glamorous bar, a lavishly draped and chandeliered space with soaring ceiling. Although the dinner menu ranges beyond Spain, the bar menu celebrates sherry, with 20 selections by the glass.
We choose the Gutierrez Colosia Elcano Fino and the La Cigarrera Manzanilla, both the sort of gripping, salty sherries that make your mouth water.
"With those, you need to have sardines," advises Carlo Splendorini, the bar manager. A plate of silky marinated fresh sardines arrives with crostini, tapenade and caperberries. Hogan spreads a toast with tapenade, lays a sardine fillet on it, and then places the tidbit on top of his wine glass, demonstrating how the original tapas were employed to keep flies out of patrons' glasses.
Traditionally tiny
"Tapas is code for tiny appetizers," says Hogan. In Spain, a tapa can be as simple as a serving of sliced chorizo, toasted almonds or fried peppers. To his dismay, American restaurateurs have adopted the term but ignored the spirit - they'll downsize anything and call it a tapa to appeal to customers' desire to graze.
"Just because you put it on a small plate doesn't make it a tapa," Hogan says. Tapas should pique the appetite, not quell it, because Spaniards typically go from tapas to dinner. The American happy hour, an orgy of cheap but filling nibbles for serial cocktail drinkers, is only a distant cousin of the Spanish ritual.
"A tapeo is about strolling and snacking, not about sitting down and filling your stomach," says Hogan. In some towns, bars become known for their expert preparation of a particular tapa, so friends might meet at the venue famous for its sauteed mushrooms then walk to the place with the best ham and finally on to an establishment that does superb fried squid.
Leaving Gitane, we walk down Bush Street and turn left on Belden Place to check out B44. Sitting at the dark, glossy bar of this Catalonia-inspired restaurant, we order glasses of Naveran Brut, the region's beloved cava. We order a delicious tapa of grilled morcilla - Spanish-style blood sausage - served on white beans with garlic mayonnaise, and another, the Catalan specialty called escalivada, or roasted summer vegetables in olive oil.
Already I am noting stark differences between a tapeo in Barcelona and San Francisco. In Spanish bars, cigarette smoke thickens the air and cured hams dangle overhead, dripping juices into tiny paper cups suspended underneath them. Terra-cotta cazuelas line the bar, tempting customers with their appetizing contents, and cheap, grease-stained paper napkins litter the floor.
"You can't get Americans to throw stuff on the ground," says Hogan as I comment on the spotless floor at B44. Nor can you convince American public-health officials that prepared food belongs, unrefrigerated, on a bar. County regulations don't permit it, making San Francisco bars safer places to eat, perhaps, but far less atmospheric.
From B44, we stroll down Pine Street and turn left on Montgomery to have a Basque experience at Bocadillos, Gerald Hirigoyen's contemporary tapas restaurant. We order the Ameztoi Txakolina, the vivacious, spritzy, slightly bitter white wine of the region, served in the wide, straight-sided tumblers that Hogan says are traditional for Txakoli. With it, we eat a warm octopus salad and the thick-cut, spicy fried potatoes known as patatas bravas.
Hogan's high regard for tapas in Spain rests on what he calls "the simplicity factor," the pride that proprietors take in sourcing and serving the best, whether the finest cured ham or the freshest shellfish. It's a "do the shopping, not the cooking" approach that resonates with him far more than the French cooking of his European childhood.
"In Spain, the tapas aren't fussed with," Hogan says. "There's no drizzle of olive oil, no sauce. The napkins are like Kleenex. But there's a conscious level of quality."
From Bocadillos, we hike several blocks to the corner of Mason and Pacific, where Kevin Davis and Gonzalo del Castillo have opened Lalola, their paean to del Castillo's native Madrid.
"Every Spanish person I've brought here has fallen in love with it," says Hogan. Certainly this diminutive restaurant, with its hanging hams, marble counter and tall bar tables, feels more like a neighborhood watering hole.
Have a seat
Hoping to create a place "that would look and feel like it came out of Madrid," Lalola's owners were counting on customers standing around the bar to eat or perching on the few stools they provided at high bar tables.
"But people would come in and they wouldn't eat until they had a seat," says co-owner Kevin Davis. "They would wait at the bar until a seat opened up." He quickly doubled the number of stools.
This evening, Lalola is packed with Spaniards. We order the tortilla espanola - properly blond, not golden-brown, notes Hogan - and creamy croquetas de jamon (ham croquettes). We drink the 2004 Luis Cañas Rioja and the 2005 Gárgola, a Tempranillo-Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah blend, from the restaurant's all-Spanish wine list. And we stand at the tiny counter, sipping and chatting as dusk deepens to dark.
On Hogan's prepaid excursion, wine pours are a modest 2 ounces, so participants can handle five stops without their tapas walk becoming a tapas crawl. We have had a touch more than that but want to hang in for the final destination, the hip 15 Romolo bar in a space old-timers will remember as the Basque Hotel. We are here for a glass of Patxaran, a Basque liqueur flavored with sloe berries, anise and coffee bean.
"This is how you end a meal in a Basque household," says Hogan, as we sip the iced nightcap, a sweet, fruity, exotic concoction. We share an order of funnel cake, a sort of doughnut vaguely related to churros, and try in vain to talk as the youthful crowd at the bar swells and the din grows more relentless.
Although no other corner of San Francisco has enough venues to make a tapas walk feasible, the Bay Area has a burgeoning coterie of Spanish-inspired restaurants (see list, K4). Even if you visit only one or two in an evening, you can participate in the tapas ritual, a custom that is as much about socializing as it is about food. "The tapeo is about seeing friends," says Hogan. "Tapas are not a lot of fun by yourself."

Pimientos de padrón: Small fresh green chiles, usually fried, liberally salted and served whole; some are mild, some moderately hot.
Piquillos rellenos: Stuffed piquillo peppers (moderately spicy roasted red peppers), typically filled with seafood
Tortilla español: Thick open-faced potato and onion omelet
Spanish Tortilla With Leeks, Peas & Fava Beans
Serves 4 for lunch, 6 as a tapa
The most traditional Spanish tortilla, or thick open-faced omelet, includes only egg, fried potatoes and, occasionally, onion. This version incorporates leeks, peas, and fava beans as well, but you can use other seasonal vegetables instead, such as zucchini or sweet peppers. Adapted from "Fresh from the Farmers' Market," by Janet Fletcher (Chronicle Books).
- 5 tablespoons olive oil plus up to 1 tablespoon additional oil
- 1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
- -- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups thinly sliced leeks, white and pale green parts only
- 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup cooked peas
- 1/2 cup peeled fava beans (or an additional 1/2 cup cooked peas)
Instructions: Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a 12- to 14-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Add potatoes, season highly with salt and pepper and saute, tossing often, until they are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes in a sieve set over a bowl. If you do not have a large nonstick skillet, fry the potatoes in two batches in a smaller nonstick skillet, using 2 tablespoons oil each time.
Return the skillet to moderate heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When hot, add the leeks, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat with seasonings. Cover, reduce heat to moderately low and cook until the leeks are tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, potatoes, leeks, peas and fava beans. Season with salt and pepper, stir well, then let stand for 10 minutes.
Measure the oil drained from the potatoes, if any. Add enough oil to make 1 tablespoon. Heat a 10-inch skillet over high heat. When hot, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the egg mixture, spreading it into an even layer. It will bubble vigorously around the edges. Immediately reduce the heat to medium low and cook 10 minutes. The tortilla will still be underdone on the surface.
Put a cookie sheet or rimless plate upside down over the skillet. Grasping the skillet handle with one hand and with your other hand palm down on the cookie sheet, flip the skillet so the tortilla falls onto the cookie sheet. Immediately slide it back into the skillet, cooked side up. (Some moist bits of egg may stick to the cookie sheet; that's OK.)
Cook an additional 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter. Let stand at least 20 minutes before serving.
Per tapa: 300 calories, 10 g protein, 28 g carbohydrate, 17 g fat (3 g saturated), 213 mg cholesterol, 92 mg sodium, 3 g fiber.
Wine pairing: Though egg-based dishes can be difficult to pair, the bubbles in dry sparkling wine cleanse the palate. Select a brut cava.
Grilled Morcilla Sausage With White Beans & Allioli
Makes 8 tapas-size portions
This delicious tapa is on the menu at B44 in San Francisco. Chef Daniel Olivella recommends the Doña Juana morcilla de cebolla (Spanish-style blood sausage with onions) available from the Spanish Table in Berkeley and Mill Valley (or from spanishtable.com). If you don't care for blood sausage, substitute fresh sausages of your choice.
- Beans
- 1/2 pound dried white beans or chickpeas (about 11/3 cups)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 onion or 1 leek, halved
- 1 celery rib, in three pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- -- Kosher salt
- Allioli
- 1 large clove garlic
- 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, or a blend or pure and extra virgin olive oil
- -- Lemon
- 2 four-ounce morcilla sausages (see above), or other sausage links
To make the beans: Cover the beans in water generously and soak overnight. Drain and place in a pot with water to cover by 1 inch. Add the bay leaf, onion or leek, celery and garlic. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, skimming any foam. Cover and adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the beans are tender, 45 minutes or more, depending on their age. Season generously with salt and let them cool in the liquid. Discard the bay leaf, onion or leek, celery and garlic.
To make the allioli: Pound the garlic and a large pinch of salt to a paste in a mortar or mince to a paste with a chef's knife. Put the garlic in a bowl with the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon warm water and whisk well. Begin whisking in the olive oil, adding it drop by drop at first. When you have obviously achieved an emulsion, you can add the oil a little faster, in a thin, steady stream. If the allioli becomes too thick before you have incorporated all the oil, thin with a few drops of water. Season the allioli with salt and add a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to medium. Grill the morcilla until crisp on all sides and hot throughout, about 5 minutes. Morcilla is precooked and needs only to be heated through. If using fresh pork sausages, cook until the internal temperature registers 145°; cook poultry sausages to an internal temperature of 155°. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
To serve the dish tapas style, using a slotted spoon, put a generous spoonful of warm beans on a small plate. Top with a chunk of sliced sausage and spoon some allioli over the sausage. Serve immediately.
Per serving: 335 calories, 11 g protein, 18 g carbohydrate, 24 g fat (6 g saturated), 52 mg cholesterol, 202 mg sodium, 4 g fiber.
Wine pairing: Blood sausage adds a slight duskiness and some fat, which enriches this earthy dish. Try a robust red like Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) from Ribera del Duero.
Roasted Beets With Harissa Vinaigrette
Serves 6 to 8
This tapa is on the menu at Bocadillos in San Francisco. Adapted from "Pintxos: Small Plates in the Basque Tradition," by Gerald Hirigoyen (Ten Speed Press, 2009). You can make it a day ahead.
- 2 pounds red beets
- 1 tablespoon + 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons aged sherry vinegar, or more to taste
- 1 1/2 teaspoons harissa (see Note)
- 1 teaspoon toasted and ground cumin seed
- 1/2 teaspoon ras el hanout (see Note)
- -- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh chives
Instructions: Preheat oven to 400°. Trim beet stems, leaving 1 inch attached. Rub the beets with 1 tablespoon of the oil, then put them in a baking dish with 1/4 inch of water. Cover and roast until beets are tender when pierced with a small knife, 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the beets. Transfer to a bowl.
When the beets are cool enough to handle, top and tail them and slip off the skins. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Combine the beets and onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, sherry vinegar, harissa, cumin, ras el hanout and salt to taste. Pour the dressing over the beets and onions and toss to coat evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning; the beets may need more vinegar. Sprinkle with the chives just before serving.
Note: Harissa and ras el hanout are North African spice blends. Look for them at Middle Eastern markets such as Samirami's Imports in San Francisco or at spice stores such as Whole Spice Company in Napa (wholespice.com).
Per serving: 130 calories, 2 g protein, 12 g carbohydrate, 9 g fat (1 g saturated), 0 cholesterol, 82 mg sodium, 2 g fiber.
Wine pairing: Txakoli's clean flavors and liveliness make it a versatile pairing partner. (See Thirst, at right.)

Regime Change at National Arts Club
O. Aldon James Takes a Well Earned Vacation
By: Charles Giuliano - Mar 31, 2011
Arriving last week at the National Arts Club at Gramercy Park, our pied a terre in Manhattan, we were surprised and pleased to be greeted by the receptionist/ concierge, Miguel Serrano.
Among the many recent tabloid and internet news reports about the venerable landmark and its eccentric president, O. Aldon James, we read that he had been fired on December 17. Another employee was reported as sacked on Christmas Eve.
For the past decade the diminutive, and gracious Serrano had been a fixture in the cluttered reception area and office next to the front entrance of the Calvert Vaux designed former Tilden Mansion at 15 Gramercy Park South.
Governor Samuel J. Tilden ran for President of the United States in 1876. He won the popular vote but lost to Rutheford B. Hayes in the Electoral College. He died a bachelor a decade later in 1886.
The mansion that Tilden built includes a grand ballroom and dining area noted for its mosaic glass ceiling designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. The traditional interior, that includes a collection of art by current and former members, has been used as a movie set and for fashion/ advertising shoots.
In the past 25 years under James the club has hosted many functions and awards dinners that have attracted New York's most noted arts and political celebrities. The club is lively and popular and there always seems to be something going on including lectures, exhibitions, readings and screenings. The dining room is closed on weekends when the Club is booked for weddings and other social events.
With an extensive and active membership, busy dining room, and weekend rentals for functions, many have questioned why the building is in such obvious need of repair. While the public areas of the club are maintained the areas for transient rooms, offices, studios, meeting rooms, and an attached building of residences are outmoded.
While James draws no salary he and an inner circle of family, friends and trustees have enjoyed remarkable perks. John, the twin brother of James, who performs no administrative services for the club, rents an apartment for $356 a month.
Tax filings from 2008-09 show that James' friend Steve Leitner, a real estate lawyer and board member, paid $858 a month for an apartment. Aldon James paid $1,143 a month, according to the filing. Three other trustees paid $7,600, $4,392 and $2,380 in monthly rent, according to records.
Those would appear to be cheap rentals for upscale Gramercy Park. An 800-square-foot two-bedroom apartment next door at 13 Gramercy Park South is on the market for $6,500 a month.
In 1985, James fought tenants over rent-stabilization at the club, which resulted in the eviction of four elderly tenants. Seven other residents were later ousted for supporting rent stabilization, according to news reports.
James has also been an activist intent on liberating access to and use of the private Gramercy Park which is available only to residents surrounding it. A recent incident, one of many, was reported in the Daily News.
While sitting in the lounge last week we discussed changes at the club with a female member. She had recently returned to living in the city and applied for one of the apartments/ studios. There was no response and she wondered just how residencies were awarded to members.
Before the holidays yet another scandal was reported on line. A former employee provided images of as many as ten spaces in the club used to store the flea market treasures of James and his friends. The clutter and poor condition of the rooms was alarming. This is valuable space earning no income for the club.
A Jan. 7, 2010, inspection by the fire department resulted in a violation for obstructed exits and hallways. It is not clear whether inspectors had access to the cluttered rooms recently posted on the internet.
Last week the elevator was often busy with workers carting off barrels and contractor trash bags. Apparently this has been an ongoing process since the "hiatus" of James was negotiated during an emergency meeting of the board as reported in the New York Times on March 15. We also noted members of the Fire Department in the building who may have been monitoring the progress of clearing the rooms in question.
There have been ongoing struggles between James and many disgruntled members. There were previous attempts to gain access to membership lists and detailed accounts. When an attempt to oust James at an annual meeting failed a number of members resigned. Some joined the Players Club which is next to the National Arts Club. It has similar functions but does not have transient rooms or residences. In the past the clubs shared some privileges for members.
While blog postings of clutter caused alarm it appears that another issue moved the board to action. There have been news reports that James managed to filibuster with a rambling three hour speech during an annual meeting. He hired security to remove anyone causing a disturbance. There were no reports of similar tactics during the recent emergency meeting.
As the New York Times reported "Word of the change came eight days after dozens of baby finches were apparently abandoned in Gramercy Park, the two-acre oasis across from the club, and newspaper stories linked the president, O. Aldon James Jr., to the incident.
"Dianne Bernhard, the acting president, said that the club's board of governors was not happy about the publicity. But she said that the finches — apparently left in the park and endangered by a heavy rainstorm — were not the only reason that the board gathered for an emergency meeting on Monday night.
"We've had a barrage of newspaper articles, complaints from board members, members, tenants, staff neighbors," she said. "We had disgruntled employees who were fired, and this last episode of the birds in the park. We felt like there was so much information out there that we didn't know which was fact and which was fiction, and we needed to get to the bottom of it."
During our week at the Club it was strangely quiet.
Last Friday I was surprised when Aldon bolted past me head lowered. I was greeted by his friend Leitner. Returning from breakfast I discovered security posted all through the building. I asked one of these gentlemen what it was all about but didn't get much of an answer. "I got the call for this job at 8:30 this morning" he said.
Workers were removing boxes of documents from offices.
While James no longer appears to be in charge we learned that the brothers and their friends continue to reside at the NAC.
On April 3 the Daily News reported that Aldon resurfaced in the club's dining room to attend a dinner party. Security guards are now a fixture through the cub which is going through spring cleaning and inventory of its undocumented collection of works of art and archival materials. The NAC does not appear to have had a curator or conservator for the materials some of which may have been deaccessioned. Once again the office of the Attorney General is probing the financial records of the club and the unique perks, below market rentals and dining room privileges, of James, his twin brother, John, and their inner circle.
A number of bird cages are gone from the public spaces including the now emptied and more spacious reception area.
It was fun to experience the surprise of members seeing Miguel back on the job. There were embraces and hugs. Many asked, where have you been and what have you been doing?
Taking a photo I asked Miguel what it felt like to be famous. "Not famous" he answered "More like infamous."
We will note with interest the changes that result as the club reorganizes. It is a truly remarkable and eccentric institution. It has endured a colorful and controversial chapter in its history.
Oh if its walls could speak. What a great story. It would take Masterpiece Theatre to do it justice.

Evening all.
Oh what a day... A very long but good day. In the early hours of this morning the winds decided that they were going to go on a holiday. With 5 knots of wind the boat was creeping along. Every 20 minutes or so the Auto Pilot off course alarm would blast at me and I would need to get up out of bed and re-trim or hunt for some wind. So, from 4 am until now that has been the cycle. I finally gave up on getting any sleep at around 10am local time, when I went on deck. I could barely see 50 meters from the boat as a heavy fog had settled, one that remained with me for most of the day. Never to waste a good opportunity I thought that I would use this windless day to get a bunch of the jobs done on the boat.
And what a productive day I have had. I had the chance to take a look at my troublesome batten and found that my sewing skills were not to blame. It had just worked its way out the side of the batten pocket. After a good 15-minute game of tug-o-war I finally got the batten to re-seat in the batten car and closed the end of the batten pocket. For good measure, I sewed some tack stitches in to hopefully help prevent this from happening again. I then took the chance to inspect the main sail and check for chafe or tares.
I did find a very small hole in the foot of the Main sail (the bottom bit) and attempted a repair however due to the heavy fog and moisture in the air I couldn't get the repair tape to stick so I will have to tackle that one again another day.
I also inspected all compartments and gears like the steering system and bailed out all the water in the boat. I also tried to find where the water was coming from and Sikaflex the spots to help reduce the water ingress. There wasn't an alarming amount of water but still an annoying amount when I need to sleep listening to it slosh around.
So after the whole day of moving from one job to the next I feel in high spirits as I have accomplished many of the jobs on my short list.

BOB: Night Life
The High Life
Underneath the blue sky, in the shadow of pink mountains, amidst the brown sand, paved desert and faux mud structures lies Albuquerque's commons of inebriation. We're talking about drinking establishments, and to the fretful chagrin of temperance types, our dens of sin are here to stay. That's because most Albuquerqueans, like most humans, enjoy stepping out and cutting loose. We know it's fun to drink, dance, gamble, swear, flirt and listen to music at deafening volumes, but we also understand that the nursing of these arguably bad habits is best reserved for designated areas such as our city's voluminous selection of drinkeries.
Where in Albuquerque does the rootin'-tootin' Alibi-reading crowd go to wet its whistle? The answers follow.

BMW has released a photo gallery showing a nice duo of a classic MINI and Porsche 911 celebrating its 50th anniversary.
It may be the fundamental differences between the two cars (e.g. the Mini has its engine in the front, the 911 at the rear) that dominate at first glance. But there are also a number of factors – over and above their shared cult status – that lend particular empathy to MINI's birthday greetings.
Both models made their name with an eye-catching turn of speed. At the end of the austere 1950s Mini was the ground-breaking new kid on the block, generating sales figures that mimicked the upward curve of its acceleration. The 911, as the successor to the Porsche 356, was born with speed in its blood.
Only a handful of cars can claim to have endured over such lengthy time spans, retaining their unmistakable identities despite all the nips, tucks and updates along the way.
It's tempting to wonder how different history would have been without the creators of these two successful cars. Neither Sir Alec Issigonis nor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche had any inkling that their designs would come to be considered immortal icons of modern times. Indeed, you would have needed a very clear crystal ball to see that Porsche had just dreamt up the most successful sports car of all time and Issigonis the "world's only cool small car".

The great improvisational American jazz musicians of the mid-20th century inspired a generation of photographers to develop a looser, moodier style of visual expression. That evocative approach is on striking display in The Jazz Image. Covering six decades of performers —from Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington to John Coltrane and Miles Davis—this unique collection is as much a comprehensive catalogue of jazz greats as it is a salute to the photographers who captured them. Lee Tanner, a leading authority on jazz photography, has selected works—by such noted jazz photographers as Herman Leonard, Bob Willoughby, Milt Hinton, and Bill Claxton—that are….

Bangkok's street food culture will survive a crackdown on vendors, Thailand's tourism chief vowed yesterday, assuring travelers that a city renowned for its chaotic charm was not being remodeled into a Singapore-lite.
The Bangkok city government stunned Thais and tourists alike this week with plans to bar the capital's world-famous food stalls from all main roads to reclaim sidewalks for the public.
Tourism Authority of Thailand Governor Yuthasak Supasorn yesterday pushed back against fears that Bangkok was being gentrified in the image of Singapore — which relishes orderliness, but is often characterized as tame compared with its Southeast Asian rivals.
"We will keep our uniqueness. We won't change our Yaowarat [Road, home to the city's Chinatown] into Orchard [Road]," he said, referring to a shopping district in Singapore with wide boulevards devoid of street life.
"[The plan] is not to totally take away street food from Bangkok streets, but there are some reasons and some places that will be reorganized," he added.
Nearly two-thirds of Bangkok's 30,000 street vendors have already been removed or relocated from sidewalks to open up space for pedestrians, city officials said.
Vendors would be allowed to set up shop on smaller streets, while hawkers based in two top tourist hubs — Chinatown and Khaosan Road — are to be reorganized, but not barred completely.
"Bangkok has some of the best street food in the world, you cannot take it away from the people of the world," he told reporters, adding that he was meeting with city officials to discuss how the restrictions would be enforced.
Many have been hoping the crackdown would wither like many of the other cleanup campaigns launched under the ruling junta.
Tourism is a major of pillar of Thailand's economy and has boomed, despite a decade of political unrest and bad press over its dangerous roads and lax safety regulations.
The kingdom welcomed a record 32 million tourists last year, with revenue making up nearly one-fifth of an otherwise lagging economy.

of BlinkFX
BlinkFX, a producer of an innovative new patent pending entertainment system created to better engage audiences at live events of all types.
BlinkFX was looking to engage a service provider who could demonstrate agility, prompt delivery, and a full array of services. Besides these abilities, Softeq's strength in electrical design was referenced by such esteemed brand as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
The primary goal was to have a wearable (wristband) light-up product that could be controlled wirelessly and integrated into a lighting control system using the industry standard DMX lighting controls. BlinkFX wanted to get into the business of providing small, light-up, entertainment devices for concerts, sporting events, corporate events, conferences, etc.
Softeq's team was to create Wink, a patent pending LED lighted disc that mounts to just about any wristband, lanyard or strap up to 25mm wide and 2mm thick. BlinkFX had a set of desired features for both the Winks and the IR DMX controllers. All the functionality was to be implemented within tight three months to be ready for launch for the large SXSW trade show and a concert featuring the legends of Hip Hop — Doritos Bold Stage.
The Wink utilizes standard DMX 512 protocol to control wirelessly light-up, wearable devices thus integrating them into a light show. The IR DMX controllers process DMX commands from lighting control systems and convert them into proprietary IR packets that are then sent to Wink devices through a wireless connection. The Winks process as small as 4-12-byte packets of data that specify the current LED state they should be displaying.
The most important part of the project was defining, implementing, and resolving issues with wireless IR communication between the IR DMX controller and the Wink.
During the implementation the team had to work around several problems. Some of the most challenging issues were fixing battery connection with the Wink plastic case, optimizing the device circuit power consumption, and developing the DMX parsing firmware for the IR DMX controller.
The project ran as an iterative development in line with the "design — implement — test" workflow followed by several fix and QA iterations. Since the hardware or firmware requirements where clearly defined on the early stage of the project, the Project Manager communicated with the customer and pulled in engineers to complete tasks on a needs basis.
The solution provides for unique capabilities (and also allows integrating the developed technology into a wide variety of wearable devices). They can be wirelessly controlled globally or as 16 individual groups tied into lighting or show control systems using a standard DMX protocol.
Softeq's team stepped up to deliver the solution when BlinkFX was in a crunch to meet the deadlines in providing the system for the upcoming trade show. The system is easy to setup and operate, whereas the individual wearable items are accessible at a very affordable price, which makes them perfect for brand marketing and fund raising efforts.
The products have been well-received and successfully used at several shows and events. BlinkFX looks forward to future development.
Currently, BlinkFX is targeting well-known product brands for marketing and corporate sponsored events. The company is also interested in pursuing sporting events, such as high school football and basketball, where small light-up devices can be sold for low cost and fund raising items for booster clubs.
Also, BlinkFX is considering other form factors for the product, as well as developing a "home party" kit which would contain a small controller and several light-up devices controllable via a mobile device app.

Raising an alert level to phase 4 means that swine flu now can be transmitted from human to human and the virus is able to sustain community level outbreaks. This indicates a significant risk of pandemic. If the situation becomes worse, the WHO may raise the alert level to phase 5. The declaration of phase 6 indicates the global pandemic.
Meanwhile, the outbreaks of swine flu were registered in Mexico, the US, Canada, Spain and Scotland with numerous cases suspected in other countries like New Zealand, France and Israel. Mexico is believed to be ground zero for the swine flu epidemic, with the most number of deaths from swine flu.
The WHO officials said that it may take 4 to 6 months to develop vaccines against swine flu and another several months before vaccine will be available for use.
The symptoms of swine flu resemble those of a common flue and include fever, sore throat, cough, chills, headache and joint aches, fatigue and in some cases vomiting and diarrhea.
Swine flu is transmitted through sneeze or cough, and by touching contaminated hands, or surfaces.
There are several ways you can avoid swine flu infection:
- Wash hands frequently
- Stay away from people who are sick
- Cover your mouth and nose if you cough or sneeze
- If you feel seek, stay at home and inform your health care provider

Why Detox is So Important
by Dr. Graeme Shaw, M.D.
Do you have any of these common symptoms of toxicity?
As you can see by the above list of symptoms, toxic overload in the body can be similar to the symptoms of many illnesses.
This is why I feel that regular detoxification protocols for my patients can play an important role for achieving and maintaining good health.
Later in this article I will describe the methods that I have found the greatest success with in my practice, for promoting improved detoxification, recovery, and overall health.
Knowing that toxicity may cause or worsen just about any symptom in the body, detoxification can be a vital tool for any of my patients.
A toxin is a poisonous substance that creates harmful effects on the body.
In our modern world, the number of chemicals and pollutants in our environment, seems to be on the rise.
Taking action to improve the body's detoxification has become more important than ever.
The symptoms I described at the beginning of this article, are symptoms that I have personally seen affect my patients due to toxic overload.
In my clinical practice, there are many symptoms I use to gauge a person's toxicity.
The most common are changes in short-term memory, poor focus and concentration problems, brain fog, word searching and low energy.
The fatigue experienced by my patients can be very gradual at first, and seems to be worse in the morning and afternoons.
What is ironic, is that many of these patients can have more energy in the evenings.
While this may sound like a good thing, the consequence of this is that they may experience difficulty sleeping and insomnia.
Detoxification is a process within the body that involves the elimination of stored toxins that may be poisonous to our bodies.
If these toxins are not properly removed, then our bodies may experience organ and system dysfunctions.
The good news is that there are many effective ways to help ensure that the body can effectively remove these toxic substances.
I will discuss some general techniques later on such as lifestyle and dietary options and supplements.
First, I want to stress how important it is to make detoxification a priority.
Most people that I see, are not aware that they have a toxic overload situation within their body.
They may have no symptoms at all while those toxins build up internally.
In my experience, those with the weakest detoxifying potential, tend to experience earlier symptoms.
Detoxification protocols can be an important way to address this toxic build up before it causes an outward symptom or a diagnosed disease.
I have found that detoxification does not have to be difficult, painful or expensive.
A frequently asked question is how does the body get overloaded with toxins in the first place?
The short answer is that it all has to do with the body's inability to properly flush out toxins that we absorb.
Year after year, and without proper detoxification, our bodies continue to store toxins faster than we can eliminate them.
A person can absorb toxins from their food, water, air, and environment.
Common environmental toxins can include smoke, smog, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, radiation, bacteria, viruses, preservatives, pesticides or any chemical.
Chemical toxins can even be found in common household products such as soap, perfume, shampoo, air freshener or deodorants.
Most toxins are fat soluble and not easily flushed from the body.
They often accumulate in fat cells or in fatty organs and build up over time.
The major function of the detoxification system is to change these fat soluble (or lipophilic) toxins into water-soluble (or hydrophilic) ones, so that the body can more easily flush out these toxins.
Mobilized toxins can be removed through the detoxification pathways in the liver and flushed out going to the bathroom.
Toxins can also be passed through the skin via perspiration.
This is why healthcare practitioners generally recommend individuals drink adequate amounts of filtered water and get sufficient physical activity that makes a person sweat, all in order to help the body release more toxins.
One of the biggest detoxification challenges, is the first step where toxins are mobilized from the cells.
This requires sufficient amounts of energy to perform essential chemical reactions.
The problem in toxic patients is that their energy system is less efficient, making cellular detoxification more of a challenge.
Normally cells derive their energy from a process that uses essential fatty acids as an energy source.
But for those who are toxic, a shift in the cell metabolism may occur, reverting to a less efficient system, which uses sugar and salt to produce energy.
This change to using sugar metabolism for energy can cause fatigue, muscle and joint pains, sugar and or salt craving, or increased acidosis and yeast overgrowth like Candida.
In this vicious cycle, toxicity may result in fatigue, which then causes decreased detoxification, and then more toxicity.
To correct the toxic situation, the cells need more energy.
This requires a healthy diet with a very strong emphasis on low glycemic foods, or foods that have little or no immediate impact on blood sugar.
Eating refined sugar products and trans fatty acids can make toxicity worse and complicate the situation.
On the positive side, eating essential fatty acids (healthy fats) has been known to help support healthy detoxification.
Essential fatty acids, or EFAs, are known to help provide more cellular energy and enhance cell membrane efficiency.
The body's natural detox pathways eliminate toxins through the liver, kidneys, urine, bowels, through the skin via perspiration, and our breath.
In the body of people with too many toxins, these pathways can become less efficient and result in elimination issues.
This is why I feel that effective detoxification protocols that support the body's natural cleansing process are a priority for my patients who need them.
Common detox techniques that I have found to be effective, include ones that:
Other agents that may inhibit the toxic effects on cell membranes could include magnesium and the herb Sophora.
Herbs have actually been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine to support the body's natural ability to properly flush stored toxins.
Sophora is one of the most valuable herbs in supporting the body's ability to slow down cell membrane hyper-excitability, and to make the cell membrane work more efficiently.
Two other herbs that also effectively support detoxification are Smilax and Dandelion.
These herbs have been used in Eastern medicine for hundreds of years as blood and liver cleaning agents.
My favorite herbal medicine formulation that contains both Smilax and Sophora herb is Get Well Natural's Cell Saver.
Cell Saver's herbal formula was created by master herbalists.
After years of anecdotal research with their patients, they discovered a unique herbal combination that best supported the body's ability to remove toxins from the cells.
Cell Saver is found in Get Well Natural's Detox Kit.
This Detox Kit includes two products: Cell Saver and a natural liquid zeolite complex called Super Z-Lite.
Liquid zeolite has been used in dietary supplements due to its natural detox supportive qualities.
Get Well Natural provides Cell Saver and Super Z-Lite for individuals interested in lowering their toxic burden.

In my practice, I often discuss dietary and lifestyle suggestions with my patients in addition to taking EFA's, magnesium and herbal supplements.
When toxicity symptoms are present, I usually recommend that they stop any activity that may be increasing toxins in their body, since it may be hindering their healing.
To lighten the toxic load within their body, here are some of my common recommendations I give them:
To further enhance detoxification, I often recommend that my patients identify and avoid any further toxic exposure in the following ways:
Among the detoxifying supplements, Glutathione is probably one of the most important nutrients for supporting the body's ability to neutralize and remove toxins.
Glutathione is known to enhance the immune system and protects cells against free radicals that can cause oxidative damage.
It is important to note that not all Glutathione products are effectively absorbed and utilized by the body.
From my experience, I have found that liquid "Liposomal" Glutathione, is the most easily absorbed form of Glutathione available today.
This is the dietary supplement form I generally recommend and is also known as Lipoceutical Glutathione.
Click for Lipoceutical Glutathione
As I stated before, when the body begins to release previously stored toxins from its cells, these toxins are eventually flushed out, by going to the bathroom, through the skin via perspiration, or our breath.
While elimination of toxins in general is extremely healthy and natural, toxins can cause symptoms on their way out, known as detox symptoms.
Common symptoms of detoxification could be skin rash, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, or smell changes in one's body odor, urine, breath or waste.
While the removal of toxins is extremely important for our health, it is important to be aware of detoxification symptoms.
Healthcare professionals generally recommend that a person reduce or stop whatever product or program they are on if they ever feel any unwanted symptoms of detox.
In conclusion, detoxification is a natural process that is vital and essential for the healing process, as well as our long term health.
I strongly encourage you to investigate all the natural methods that support the proper elimination of toxins from the body.
Simple steps including drinking filtered water, eating healthier foods or taking effective supplements, are all methods that have helped my patients become less toxic.
For best results, consult with a knowledgeable healthcare professional before starting a detox program.

This right shall not be assigned or transferred to others except with all parts of the firm or one of them including goodwill. Article Twenty One: The patentee may grant a contractual license to others to perform all or some of the acts of exploitation stipulated in the special provisions, for each patented subject matter. A license contract shall not be valid vis-à-vis a third party unless the specified fee is paid and it is registered in the records of the Administration. This license shall not deprive the patentee from exploiting the subject matter himself or granting another license for the same patented subject matter, unless the first license contract states otherwise. Article Twenty Two: The Administration may instruct the parties to the license contract to amend it in order to prevent abusing the right in the protection document or any other negative effect on competition or the acquisition of technology and its dissemination. Article Twenty Three: The license gives the licensee the right to perform all acts and enjoy all privileges assigned to the holder of the protection document related to the subject of protection throughout the Kingdom during the whole period of protection, unless it is otherwise stated in the license contract. The licensee shall not assign the rights and privileges licensed to him by the patentee, unless it is expressly stated in the license contract. Article Twenty Four: (a) The City may grant a compulsory license to a third party to exploit an invention covered by the patent or a layout design of an integrated circuit covered by a certificate of design upon an application submitted to it, according to the following:
(1) The application shall be submitted after the elapse of four years from the date of filing the patent application or three years from the date of granting the patent, whichever expires later, without the patentee exploiting his invention or having exploited it in an inadequate fashion, unless he justifies that with a legitimate excuse.
(2) The applicant for the compulsory license must prove that he has exerted -over a reasonable period of time- efforts in order to obtain a contractual license on the basis of reasonable commercial conditions, and for a reasonable financial compensation. However, this provision and the provision of the preceding paragraph do not apply where the applicant is a government body or a person authorized by it, and the aim was to meet public interest - especially security, health, nutrition or the development other vital sectors of the national economy- or to meet a state of emergency or other very compelling circumstances, or where the aim thereof was general non-commercial purposes. In the latter case, and upon knowledge of the existence of a patent or a certificate of design, their holder shall be promptly informed.
(3) The compulsory license is basically granted to make the invention or design available in the local markets. But this provision does not apply where the aim of the license is to prevent or restrict practices against which a decision or judgment is issued declaring them to be acts of unlawful competition.
(4) The decision granting the license shall specify the scope and term of the license, according to the purpose for which it was granted. The license shall be subject to termination if the conditions for which it was granted cease to exist and their recurrence is not likely, with due regards to the lawful interests of the licensee.

The City may extend the term for additional periods, upon verifying that the grounds for granting the compulsory license still exist. Article Twenty Six: If a compulsory license is granted for a patented subject matter the beneficiary of the compulsory license may not assign it to others, unless the assignment includes all or part of the firm benefiting from the license or its goodwill. The City's approval of the assignment is required; otherwise, it shall be null and void. If the City approves such assignment, the assignee becomes liable for the obligations assumed by the first beneficiary prior to the approval of the assignment.
Article Twenty Seven: The City may amend the decision to grant the compulsory license if need arises. The patentee or the beneficiary of the compulsory license may request the City to make this amendment if its pre-requisites are fulfilled.

Article Thirty Two: Any party with interest may challenge the decision of granting of a protection document before the Committee, and seek total or partial annulment, relying upon the violation of the stipulated conditions for granting the protection document. The patentee shall include the beneficiary of the license as a party to the lawsuit; otherwise, the latter may interfere on his own. The Committee may order to enter any party with interest, and the Implementing Regulations shall specify the grounds upon which the request for the cancellation of any protection document shall be based.
Article Thirty Three: A judgment of total or partial invalidity of the decision granting the protection document renders the decision null and void from the date of issuance, within the scope of what is nullified. However, the decision to nullify the protection document shall not imply a refund of the sums paid for the license to exploit it, unless the licensee proves that what he has gained, as a result of the license, is not equal to what he has paid, in which case he may recover the amount exceeding the gain he received.

The maximum fine shall be doubled in case of repetition. If the Committee sees that the infringement calls for the punishment of imprisonment, the transgressor shall be referred from the start to the Board of Grievances, and the Committee may take the necessary prompt measures it deems necessary to prevent the damages resulting from the infringement.
The decision issued by the Committee in this case shall be published in the Official Gazette, the Bulletin and two daily newspapers, at the expense of the party against whom the decision is issued.

Article Forty Four: (a) An invention is novel if it is not anticipated by prior state of technology. In this respect, prior state of technology means all that is disclosed to the public anywhere by means of written or oral disclosure, by use or by any other way through which knowledge of the invention is realized. This has to be prior to the filing date of the patent application, or the priority application is submitted. The disclosure of the invention to the public shall not count if it takes place during the priority period. The Regulations shall specify other cases of invention disclosure which do not fall within the meaning of prior technology and the provisions governing temporary protection of inventions.
(b) An invention is deemed to involve an inventive step if, with regard to prior technology related to the patent application, it is not obvious to a person with ordinary skills in the profession.

Article Forty Six: The application shall relate to a single invention or to a group of integrated parts that form a single inventive concept. The applicant, before a decision to grant him a patent is made, may divide his application into more than one, provided that none of them shall deviate from what was disclosed in the original application. The date of filing the original application or the date of priority shall be deemed to be the date of filing of these applications.
Article Forty Seven: The patentee may initiate an action before the Committee against any person who infringes his invention by exploiting it in the Kingdom without his consent. The following shall be deemed as exploitation of the invention:
(a) If it is a product: Its manufacture, sale, offering for sale, use, storage or its importation for any of these purposes. (b) If it is an industrial process: The use of the process, or performing any of the acts referred to in the pervious paragraph, in relation to the product which is directly obtained by the use of this process.
However, the patentee's right shall not preclude others from exploiting his invention in non-commercial activities relating to scientific research.
Article Forty Eight: Subject to the legitimate interests of the defendant in protecting his industrial and commercial secrets, if the subject matter of the patent claimed to be infringed is an industrial process to manufacture a certain product, the defendant must prove that the identical product was not manufactured by this process without the consent of the patentee, if one of the following two conditions is satisfied:
(a) Where the product obtained through a patented industrial process is a novel product. (b) Where there is a substantial probability that the identical product was manufactured through the patented industrial process, and the patentee was unable to determine the method actually used, by exerting reasonable efforts in this respect.
Chapter Three Provisions Governing Layout Designs of Integrated Circuits
Article Fifty: The certificate of design shall be granted, if the design is original; i.e., it is a result of a mental effort exerted by the designer himself, and was unfamiliar to creators of designs and manufacturers of integrated circuits when it is produced. As to a design that is composed of a set of components and familiar interconnections, it shall be deemed original if all this set is original.
Article Fifty One: The owner of the certificate of design may initiate an action before the Committee against any person who infringes his design by exploiting it without his consent inside the Kingdom. The performance of any of the following acts shall be deemed to be exploitation of the design:
(a) Copying the whole design or any original part of it, whether by merging it into an integrated circuit or by any other means. Acts relating to personal purposes, or scientific purposes such as research, analysis, education or evaluation shall not be deemed to be infringement.
(b) Importation, sale or distribution of the design, or any integrated circuit in which that design is merged. It shall also be deemed to be infringement the performance of any of the acts referred to in this paragraph in relation to any article containing an integrated circuit, if this circuit contains an unlawfully copied design.
Article Fifty Two: The rights conferred by the certificate of design are confined to acts performed for commercial purposes. The owner of the certificate shall not be entitled to exercise his rights in relation to an original design similar to his design, if created by another person independently. These rights do not extend to any other original design invented on the basis of analyzing or evaluating such designs, nor to any integrated circuit in which is the other design merged.
Article Fifty Three: Acts mentioned in paragraph (b) of Article Fifty One shall not be deemed an infringement, if exercised or ordered to be performed by a person who does not know or has no reasonable causes to know - when he obtains the integrated circuit or the article that contains these circuits – that they contain a design illegally copied. He may perform these acts in relation to the quantities in his possession or ordered by him before he receives an express notice that the design is illegally copied.
