Making balsamic syrup out of lemons
As a thank you gift, one of my personal chef clients gave me a bottle of balsamic syrup. I had surprisingly mixed feelings upon receiving it. Of course I was grateful to be acknowledged with such a thoughtful gesture. I was also excited to incorporate the syrup into my cooking. Though I love balsamic vinegar and use it liberally in sauces, dressings, marinades, chilies, stews and soups, I was looking forward to experimenting with the concentrated sweetness and thick texture of the syrup.
The next feeling was a complex one. I remembered an electrifying dish using balsamic syrup I learned to make about 15 years ago. Simultaneously, I began to get a stomachache. Not because I didn't like the dish, but because I abhorred the woman who taught me to make it. She was the owner of this new little fancy Caribbean-influenced restaurant and had just come from "the City" to make her debut in our funky college town in Western Massachusetts.
I'd only been working about a week as her pantry chef, making sauces, dressings, garnishes and finicky things like homemade, hand-cut, fish-shaped saltines. She liked to come in around 11 am, after I'd been working about 3 hours, to drink a Bloody Mary to cure her daily hangover. She would fight loudly with the sous-chef (who used to be her boyfriend) in front of everyone. These things I could attribute to the interesting flaws of a talented foodie (which she was), but it was the way she treated her underlings that I could not accept.
First I witnessed her telling a cheerful Hispanic dishwasher not to "ever, ever" talk to her directly. Within a few days, I overheard her call a waitress stupid to a customer right in front of her as if she wasn't there for not knowing how to use the tare button on a scale. Though I loved the work and the break from evening saute work at the previous restaurant I'd been at for five years, I couldn't stand this woman so I gave my notice and left.
But not without learning to make this incredible eggplant sandwich with balsamic syrup, which I vow to start making again, now that I've remembered it. First you've got to make a balsamic reduction recipe. Take about 3 cups of good balsamic vinegar, bring it to boil in a heavy sauce pan, then simmer it till it's reduced to 3/4 of a cup and thickly coats a wooden spoon. Next take an Italian eggplant and slice it as thin as possible (with a meat slicer or a sharp cheese slicer or even a carbon steel y-shaped veggie peeler). You'll have a tall stack of papery slices.
Heat a flat top grill or large cast iron pan on medium. When it's good and hot, cook the slices on the dry surface till they start to float off. Gather them with a pair of tongs and put them in a bowl. Repeat with the rest of the slices. When they're all done, add enough syrup to coat and stir them well. You'll have a sticky wad. Using tongs, stuff this into a loaf of ficelle sliced along the length but not all the way through. Let sit for one hour and then eat. A fascinatingly good sandwich!
Though she was just about the worst employer I've ever had, that woman gave me a culinary education on two fronts: the opportunity to stand up for what I believe in and the chance to try that taste bud-expanding balsamic syrup. For this I am grateful.

After Oklahoma Tornado, Austin Campuses Examine Storm Plans By Kate McGee • May 24, 2013 flickr.com/inventorchris2 The recent tornado in Oklahoma and the shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut last year have increased people's awareness of emergency management at schools.

AISD Board Approves Contract with Eastside Memorial Partner By Kate McGee • May 21, 2013 KUT News The Austin School Board Monday night approved a contract with Johns Hopkins University to implement its program — Talent Development Secondary — at Eastside Memorial High School.

AISD's Prop 4 Failure Means Less Money for Special Ed Schools By Kate McGee • May 15, 2013 flickr.com/cool.as.a.cucumber This failure of AISD bond Proposition 4 means the district's two schools for disabled children won't be getting as many renovations and repairs as the district had proposed. Prop 4 would've put $10 million toward the district's two schools for disabled children, the Rosedale School and the Clifton Career Development Center. It also would have earmarked money for Career and Technical and Fine Art programs. What Does AISD Bond Vote Mean?

For One Austin School, Funding Hangs on Affordable Housing By Kate McGee • May 13, 2013 Filipa Rodrigues for KUT News Residents at the Oak Creek Village apartments in south Austin are waiting to see if the state grants a developer tax incentives to construct a new, larger complex in its place.

Combination of sobriety and inebriation
callibration of the twisted steel rodded arrow shot through my heart
pinching nerves and lacerating emotions
on a rollercoaster ride
before the high tide
sun set
as the moon died
keeping bloody hand prints on my back
a secret
while you sleep slumber
in jest
no guilt
too much to digest
I feel insecure and worn
war torn
communication closed off
throat is full
lips glued togethet
my mentality
vengeful and unattended
hope and faith burned
keep alive by the sliver of deliverance
of a soul to me
to keep
the ability to forgive
neevr entered the realm of my decision
to bear arms
and take away the life
and regain the one you stole from me
when you decided to cheat
with my friend
my friend
my co worker
and leave the video on the bed
beside the letter of apology
I leave you the bullet
my name carved in it
in an empty space
where your world use to be
I leave you alone
cause pain is not
the connection I want
with me
but surely
you will realize this fact
in tact
is what you think you are
until you feel the effects
of your romps
between the burning
and the itching
is the lies and mistrust
you weaved
around your clit
and now
you are stuck with it
and the thought
of how ridiculously
dumb you have been
in the bed of the devil
and now branded
with the same knife
you stuck in my back
I will pray for you
no need to be hurt
You did the dirt
and buried in that
shallow grave is your soul
and your heart.....
ruptured into shards of ligament
and guilt
I have left in a
cloud of justice
no I told you so
just a goodbye
and a bullet
for the life
you've murdered
your own

Small drawbacks slight kisses of the skin,
spine tingling tremors beneath the surface,
doorbell ringing Jehovah Witnesses bringing books,
and good words traffic jams at five pm.
miniscule particles of terrorism fills the air Cities polluted with gay paraphenalia,
garden weeds filled with dirty condoms,
and used bodies buried in the nightly news,
designer dresses on sale and another Street is soiled with adult book stores,
and the wretched homeless on viagara,
your eyes filled with tears as the plane takes off,
only I never see your face lips stained with touches of lust,
memories of sex the night before make you wet,
and agitated phones ringing answering machine says 4 messages,
telelmarketers interrupt your bath,
the cat and dog race through the hallway while your concentrated masturbation leaves you blind with wanton fantasies of reaching your orgasm without rapid gunfire and burglaries,
the neighborhood crackhead found dead,
blood seeping through the garbage from rich white folks on the other side of the flea market,
worn white sheets and undercover bigotry worn like polyester,
itching rashes of herpes and manlike yeast tirbulations scorching the genitals of woman,
pedophiles hid from the sun while frocks defrock the Fathers of the Sons who sinned died and promised Calgary,
only to set the lies of the Nile through wine and rosary beads broken trust and molested lust,
fear of being caught naked leaves no room for God,
all the while blunted emotional stunted performers boast money sex drugs and A.I.D.S,
as no mystery life holds no mercy,
and no worth for the way we live is bound by the desire to get off by any means necessary.

Yes that is where I want to live
Inside of a womans soul
Anything I d give
To see that smile
Feel her embrace
Wake up to her lovely face
Our bodies connecting
Our minds speaking
No words spoken
No barriers broken
Just the existence of love
To cherish her beauty and sexuality
Man where is my soul .....heaven sent
She brings me the joy only desired
So natural and real
So pure and untouched
Many dances and kisses
Sways of the hips
Thighs like milk chocolate
Sweet juicy lips
Eyes that burn through you
And laughter like sheet music
Anger to temper kings...
Thats the soul I want in

Out of the thick, wet fog.
From deep within the snarling wind,
Between the pounding drops of rain,
Only a small glimpse of the Sun.
From the loud voices in my head,
The world screaming in vain,
News at six yelling out fear,
Slivers of silence slither between.
A shaking at The Rock 'n Roll Palace
And the fog machine quits with a T-H-U-M-P.
The sweet sound of nothing floats by
Sun shines through the window on the stage.

The sexual urge is one of Natures
strongest of inbred instincts in every
animal. Many men, one conjectures,
have been ruined by sexual reverie.
Its inbred in male animals to seek
sex with many females sos to disperse
their genes rather widely. This technique
suits him; the baby he doesnt bear or nurse.
Females by instinct are more selective
since their baby benefits from the best
genes from the fittest male. Theyre protective,
cold,til they choose one male above the rest.
By instinct and hormones, males are ready,
waiting for the female to become compliant.
Males roar, display their strengths Choose already!
The female screens her suitors, defiant.
Modern female humans do not desire
brute muscle, but his earnings and power
impress her; these make him an accepted sire
for her offspring his and hers becomes our.
Marriage vows are societys attempt
at putting a veneer of needed restraint
on their sexual urges, showing contempt
for partners who stray and their vows taint.
Yet the sexual instinct is so strong
that a majority of men and thirty
percent of the women will still do wrong.
This causes calling sex evil or dirty.
When will humans accept that sex is not
rational, not an intellectual activity
derived from cautious thoughts that got
vetted well. No, lost is ones objectivity.
Sexual urges are primal instincts at play,
behavior dictated throughout past eons
to insure that all animal species stay.
To its success, Mother Nature sings paeans.
Passion set aflame by hormones surging
in the blood overpowers logic and
common sense. Animal instinct is urging
sex take place. Most obey its demand.
Sexual instincts and raging hormones
make teenagers to elderly behave
in ridiculous ways. Talking via phones
for hours, saying nothing. They crave
the other beyond reason. Married men
willingly risk wife, children for a fling.
When caught, reality sets in, too late then.
Ruin does unchecked hormones usually bring.
Politicians risk office and power
for a meaningless act, too soon over.
Yes, primitive instincts often tower
above the male mind Natures carryover.
Before all you women laugh too quickly,
consider the lengths otherwise intelligent
females put themselves to makeup thickly
applied, hair worries, a wide assortment
of body issues too short, too fat, hair
wrong color, bad hair style, hair in wrong place,
breasts too small got to get augmented there.
Plastic surgery will keep me a pretty face.
Its all to make yourselves attractive to the male.
Sex drives almost all human interactions.
Why do females measure their worth without fail
by their looks? Is all but sex merely distractions?
Its sexual instincts that decide a woman
is valued for her looks. Intellect would stress
her personality, intelligence, humor more than
her breasts size. If only sex mattered less
Civilization has failed to conquer in Man
primitive sexual instincts to date.
One wonders how many centuries more can
sex defeat Mans intellect.
We can only wait.

How the hell are you, I want

How hard the snow fell,
how slowly it melts.
How to tie a knot big enough
to choke the wild pain.
How to listen carelessly
to words used carefully.
How philosophy handles death:
with great reluctance.

often contain no answer.
How to wind a watch
so tight time stops.
How silent the trees, how
loud the shots of hunters.

On the first day, God created the dog and said,
"Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past.
For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking.
How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"
And God saw it was good.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said,
"Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years?
That's a pretty long time to humiliate myself. Can I give you back ten like the dog did?"
And God, again saw it was good.
On the third day, God created the cow and said,
"You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun,
have calves which will be snatched away from you
so that you give milk to support the farmer's family.
For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's a horrible life you want me to live for sixty years.
How about ten, and I'll give back the other fifty?"
And God agreed it was good.
On the fourth day, God created humans and said,
"Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty,
the fifty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back,
and the ten the dog gave back; that makes seventy, okay?"
(Early Man was had not yet invented mathematics.)
"Very well," said God, "Since that's what you want..."
So that is why for our first ten years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves.
For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family.
For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren.
And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
The human condition has now been explained to you -
without even mentioning overpopulation.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information.
I'm doing it as a public service.
If you are looking for me I will be on the front porch.

The urge to run away, to surrender to the smothering existence dies
when you look at me from the depths of your eyes, pitiless but so healing
I stand alone, now even the sun is my enemy, and darkness overcomes
but in this blank night perfection is bound to be created, no light means no limit.
The soft whisper of the night nymphs sets the mood of creative destruction
everything sacred and deviant burned, melted, liquid visions and lucid dreams
everything loved and hated forgotten, the pages of repeated history erased
the white canvas bleeds, with chunk of my black heart I draw to it's comfort.
And a new world is born, not better, but carved from grace with my hands
where god and I unite, and together we dream of thrones unclaimed to be mine
so are we the creators of our destiny, or just unhinged and feeble minds
ignorant, locked inside this prison of lies, and shall we ever ascend.
Now descending legions come blinding from the skies,
but the skies are red from pain
and dancing minions made of devouring light under her command slumber to naught
because my kingdom is born every night,
and in dreams it seems I'm the king of fancy supreme
of fantasies undone that become alive,
with fear or respect, or just in pure amusement caught.
But how much longer we'll have to beg
for the mercy of the burning rays of sunshine
is there no a man of brave kin, who will slay the sun
and grant us the night and the dreaming sin.
Oh you who plays with verses, speak no words nor blessings or curses,
but stand proud and fight
and the time will come when our heads will bow before you,
the liberator and the slayer of the sun.

tonight i took the stage,
and disappeared behind the glow of fame.
pretending to be someone else, someone better
and giving up the battle for i discovered the unimaginable.
feeling for the first time uneasy,
sad because i had lost my glory.
i did not need to take the stage,
i wanted to be home again.
but knowing the faces made me realize reality.
i was not where i wanted to be anymore.
an new era opened for the angels lost in the city
and i took a vow to never dance in their shadows again.
i needed to hear the voice of a savior to save my troubled heart
so i spoke into the dark and gave another chance to my nightmares.
he failed me, yet again, and my heart broke free from my chest.
i was fooled into a happiness bound in denial and false prayers
and loved to hate my savior, and hated to love him.
tonight i took the stage,
not once
but twice
and each time i looked into the darkness, i could see a passing ghost.
and each time i looked into the darkness, i could see those brown eyes.
tonight i took the stage,
and now this is me bowing out.

Fissioned elements like broken families, or the new
world of return we travel and travel back, circling
the idea of home, sparring with far-flung relatives,
a home scattered into fragments, a gerrymandered vase
and the frantic haste to section it back,
solidify again. Sorrows unlocked doors festooned
the streets with the clinically mad who, vacant of memory,
submerged into a new life of steaming grates
and, sleeping upon them, dreamt of a blanketless world.
The fire of my youth was a roar in winter deciphering
heat from wood and newspaper and a picture window
humming with snow, my family hidden upstairs.
As the ship approached the harbor they heard the horns
announcing refusal how sound encloses silence like a shell
then the lapping water and then the gulls whod tracked them
for days, assured of destination, a place of refuse.
The rain-stained furniture out back of a warehouse
slowly composes itself with time until witnessed in a picture
taken on a honeymoon tour: the flash ignited the world
behind you both with shadows, and risen
from those shadows are hunched angels who cast
that darkness, bodies twisting as they rise up to leave.
The mother who cut her children from her will
answered calls from anyone.

There was no polite way to do it
as I snuck into that dressing room
away from camera flash and prying eyes
sucking in my breath to try you on
and my whole willing figure poured in
followed by morally lazy wisps of hair
No, it had to be done
as I succumbed to your amorphous slip
covering my tacky skin
a tenacious fit swaddled
and wrinkled as if just from the warehouse
where you had been waiting
crumpled, knowing
along with the larger part of my idling life force
And it was because of what we had in common
you and I
that the ideal I had previously seen as right
degenerated into illusion
An old biographical photograph
of a gaunt woman lying unconscious
without her vase of iris
her parched roses pressed into a book
and stored in a glassed alcove
Reflecting rays of light poking through
illuminating the tautness of her muscles
the effortful curvature of her smile.

I reflect
as a moonlit lake
deep and eternal
whose face
dark and opaque
reflects those poor souls
who wander too close
and lose themselves -
drowned -
in its ancient eye
whose abundant
life kills.
Yet as a desert
I exist
maintaining lake's form
so dry yet so
and all as One.
Am I as alien to you
as you are to me?
Do you distance
yourself from this
illusionary reality
- this -
which the Greeks
evaded through art?
Dionysus, Apollo,
what would you say
to that lake,
that desert,
that distance?
But is it this distance
which catalyses the
of that shroud
which blinds perception?
Dionysiac, Apolline,
Drought, Drowned.
Opposers as allies,
distance as treaties,
and now......
all seems as

3 Gastroenterology Unit, University of Florence, Firenze, Italy
4 Department of Pediatrics, University Federico II, Naples, Italy
5 First Department of Internal Medicine, St. Matteo Hospital, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy
BMC Medicine 2014, 12:85 doi:10.1186/1741-7015-12-85Published: 23 May 2014
Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is still an undefined syndrome with several unsettled issues despite the increasing awareness of its existence. We carried out a prospective survey on NCGS in Italian centers for the diagnosis of gluten-related disorders, with the aim of defining the clinical picture of this new syndrome and to establish roughly its prevalence compared with celiac disease.
From November 2012 to October 2013, 38 Italian centers (27 adult gastroenterology, 5 internal medicine, 4 pediatrics, and 2 allergy) participated in this prospective survey. A questionnaire was used in order to allow uniform and accurate collection of clinical, biochemical, and instrumental data.
In total, 486 patients with suspected NCGS were identified in this 1-year period. The female/male ratio was 5.4 to 1, and the mean age was 38 years (range 3–81). The clinical picture was characterized by combined gastrointestinal (abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, nausea, epigastric pain, gastroesophageal reflux, aphthous stomatitis) and systemic manifestations (tiredness, headache, fibromyalgia-like joint/muscle pain, leg or arm numbness, 'foggy mind,' dermatitis or skin rash, depression, anxiety, and anemia). In the large majority of patients, the time lapse between gluten ingestion and the appearance of symptoms varied from a few hours to 1 day. The most frequent associated disorders were irritable bowel syndrome (47%), food intolerance (35%) and IgE-mediated allergy (22%). An associated autoimmune disease was detected in 14% of cases. Regarding family history, 18% of our patients had a relative with celiac disease, but no correlation was found between NCGS and positivity for HLA-DQ2/-DQ8. IgG anti-gliadin antibodies were detected in 25% of the patients tested. Only a proportion of patients underwent duodenal biopsy; for those that did, the biopsies showed normal intestinal mucosa (69%) or mild increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes (31%). The ratio between suspected NCGS and new CD diagnoses, assessed in 28 of the participating centers, was 1.15 to 1.
This prospective survey shows that NCGS has a strong correlation with female gender and adult age. Based on our results, the prevalence of NCGS seems to be only slightly higher than that of celiac disease.

The present invention relates generally to an apparatus and method for automating user input into a computer data processing system. More particularly, the invention relates to an automated data input system wherein the computer operator selects or points to a descriptive term printed on paper, which causes the invention to automatically enter corresponding data into the computer data processing system.
Typing data into a keyboard is the most common means to input data into a data processing system running an application software program. To enter data, the computer operator is usually required to laboriously type in long strings of letters and/or numbers read from a printed list. The typed in data is then available for processing by the CPU running the application program.
Several problems are associated with using keyboards as data input devices. Using a keyboard for data entry is a time consuming and tedious task. The computer operator is prone to make typing errors and mistakes while finding and reading the data to be entered. Furthermore, the computer operator is subject to fatigue and eye strain due to looking into a CRT screen for extended periods of time. More recently, alternatives to key board data input devices have become available. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,555,699, a computer data input system is disclosed. The device operates by detecting a stylus position on an entry tablet. The stylus generates signals representing position, and the signal is transmitted to a processor. The processor then displays stylus position on a CRT. In the preferred embodiment, a graph is also displayed on the CRT to provide an intelligent meaning to the stylus position to a computer operator.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,638,312, an order entry system is disclosed. The order entry system includes a display showing, pictorially, the elements or items to be selected from the menu. An aiming selector is used to make the desired selection. Each item on the menu contains a light responsive detector which is selected by directing the aiming selector at the desired item. A controller is adapted to receive and process the selected items.
The prior art also includes many types of data tablets for centering pairs of (x,y) coordinates. See for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,564,928, 4,357,672, and 4,124,838. A mouse for selecting icons appearing on a CRT screen is also a known data input device.
The prior art, as set forth above, fails to disclose a system which automates entry of data printed on computer paper into application programs running on a data processing system.
In view of the above discussion, it is a primary object of the invention to provide a device to automate data entry wherein the computer operator selects or points to a descriptive term printed on computer paper which characterizes the data to be entered.
It is another object of the invention to provide a device to automatically generate an unlimited number of the descriptive terms on computer paper.
The apparatus of the invention can extract desired data from a data base in a computer system which has been generated by or existed in a source application program (such as Dbase, Lotus, or work processor). The extracted desired data may then be transferred into a goal application program through a key board buffer or serial port of a computer. The goal application program could be the same type of application program as the source application program or it could be a different type. The data base, from whence the desired data are extracted, are first converted to visible format data output in a location separate from the computer system. The visible format data output has location information on each data item. The data base is also stored in a memory buffer area with each data item having the same location information corresponding to the data item in the visible format data output. The present invention includes a mechanism to convert the location information on the visible format data output into the location information which can be recognized by the computer system. When an operator selects a data item from the visible format data output according to the location information, the data item which has the same location information in the memory buffer is identified and sent to the keyboard buffer or serial port of the computer. From the key board buffer or serial port, the goal application program receives the extracted data item.
The visible format data output may also include program macros designed by an operator. The present invention includes devices for converting the program macros into commands which can be recognized by the application program.
In accordance with the above and other objectives, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for automating user input into an application program. The apparatus and method includes generating an index list of strings having data fields and a printed list of items corresponding to the strings. A means is provided for selecting one of the items in the printed list. When an item is selected, the data in a field(s) of the corresponding indexed string is accessed and is automatically entered into the application program through the keyboard buffer of the system.
Additional objects and features of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description and appended claims when taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a prior art data processing system having an application program and a data base stored in the memory of a computer data processing system.
FIG. 2(a)-(b) is a block diagram showing a resident memory program, a multiplicity of computer printout pages and an (x,y) data input device in the data processing system according to the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the resident memory program's component subroutines showing the flow of data in the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a block diagram of a prior art data processing system is shown. The data processing system 10 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 11, a CRT display 13, a keyboard 12, a key board buffer 14 and a computer memory 15. Loaded into system memory 15 is an application program 16 having an index subroutine 17 to index data fields 19. The data fields 19 may be arranged in a data base 20 having a multiplicity of records 22 (a-n), each containing related data stored in a plurality of the fields 19. Other programs may also be loaded into memory 15.
During operation of the data processing system 10, data is entered into the system 10 running application program 16. Prompts appearing on the CRT ask the computer operator to enter the requested data. In response, the computer operator types in the information on keyboard 12, whereafter the data is temporarily stored in the keyboard buffer 14. Keyboard buffer 14 transfers its contents to the CPU when it receives a synchronized clock signal from the CPU. Hence, the data required for the continued CPU execution of the application program 16 and the update of data base 20 is entered into the system 10. This sequence of steps is repeated for the next prompt appearing on the CRT.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a data processing system 30 for automating data input according to the present invention is shown. The system 30 includes a CPU 11, a CRT 13, a keyboard 12, a keyboard buffer 14, a system memory 15 and an (x,y) data input device 32 such as a mouse. The system 30 also includes a plurality of computer printout pages numbered consecutively (p 1,2,3 . . . n). Such computer printout pages are generated from existing data base 20 which has been generated by an application program such as Dbase, Lotus or work processor. In the preferred embodiment, the pages are arranged into a plurality of books, each designated by a letter (A, B, C . . . Z). For example, if the pages in book A are numbered from (p=1) through (p=3), the first page for book B is (p=4).
A multiplicity of user friendly descriptive terms, pictorial icons or items 36 are printed in rows and columns on pages. Accordingly, every item 36 on each page is identified by a (p,r,c) coordinate. A first set of four points 37, each located in a corner of a page, signifies a predetermined reference point in relation to the rows and columns on each page. The points 37 are at the same position on every page and provide a means for the operator to align the pages in each book. A single identifier point 38 signifies the page number p=(1,2, . . . n) for each page. Note, the page identifier point 38 on each page is in a different position to distinguish one page from another.
As shown in FIG. 2, a resident memory program 40 is stored in system memory 15 in the computer data processing system 30. The resident memory program 40 includes in resident memory an index subroutine or file 41 for accessing data in an index list of strings 42. Each string 42 contains a multiplicity of fields 43 for storing related data. The data strings 42 are identified in the index list by an (p,r,c) address 44. The (p,r,c) address 44 corresponds to an item 36 having the same (p,r,c) coordinate on one of the pages.
The fields 43 in a data string 42 include data corresponding and related to the descriptive term 36. For example, referring to book A, page 1, the data string corresponding to item 36 "CHAMPION" in the "Engine Parts No." list includes an index field to store the spark plugs identification number "CH1," a field for storing the descriptor term 36 formatted on the pages, and a field or fields for storing various keystrokes that invoke application program 16 subroutines when the data is entered into the application program 16. For instance, a "before" set of keystrokes may place the identifier number "CH1" in the appropriate CRT display location. An "after" set of keystrokes may place the CRT prompt in the desired CRT display location after the part number has been entered.
The resident memory program 40 is capable of transferring the data stored in any field 43 having a specific (p,r,c) index address 44 and entering it into the keyboard buffer 14 when the corresponding item 36 with the same (p,r,c) coordinate is selected by mouse 32. In an alternative embodiment, the index subroutine 17 accesses the data fields 19 in the application program 16 and/or data base 20 using the application program's index subroutine 17.
To automate data entry to the application program 16, the computer operator finds the desired descriptive item 36 on a page to be entered. The operator then places the mouse 32 to one of the reference points 37 on the page the item 36 is located on and clicks the mouse 32 to inform the resident memory program 40 that the mouse 32 is at a predefined reference point. The operator rolls the mouse 32 to page identifier point 38 on the page and clicks the mouse 32 again. Depending on the (x,y) distance travelled by the mouse, the resident memory program 40 determines the page number p (1,2, . . . n) the mouse is located on. To select the specific item 36, the operator rolls the mouse across the page to the desired data item 36 and clicks the mouse a third time. The memory resident program 40, monitoring the (x,y) distance the mouse 32 has traveled from the page identifier point 38, has the necessary (p,r,c) information to access the corresponding data string 42 in the index list.
To enter a second item 36 on the same page, the operator need only roll the mouse from the first item to the second item. The resident memory program 40, monitoring the (x,y) distance the mouse has traveled between the first and second items, has the necessary (p,r,c) information to access the corresponding data string 42 in the index list. To enter a second item 36 from another page, the steps of moving the mouse to a reference point 37, moving the mouse to the page identifier 38 and then to the item 36 must be repeated.
Briefly describing the operation of the present invention as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the resident memory program 40 runs concurrently with the application program 16 on the CPU in system 30. The resident memory program 40 appears invisible to the computer operator, and the sequence of prompts that normally appear on the CRT during the execution of application program 16 remain unchanged.
According to the invention, to enter data in response to a prompt asking the operator to enter specific information, the computer operator manipulates mouse 32 in the aforementioned manner to select the desired item 36 on a page. For example, if the prompt calls for the computer operator to enter the identification number for one half inch hose, the computer operator selects from a list of "Engine Part No." with mouse 32 the descriptive term, i.e. "1/2 Hose" in book A, page one.
The resident memory program 40 monitors and ascertains the (p,r,c) for "1/2 Hose" and translates it into the appropriate (p,r,c) resident memory address 44. The resident memory program accesses the corresponding data string 42 having the same (p,r,c) address 44 in the index list, and automatically transfers the contents of the index field containing the number "12H" into the keyboard buffer 14. Once inside the keyboard buffer 14, the data is transferred to the CPU for processing in the identical way as described above in conjunction with FIG. 1. In general, the application program 16 cannot distinguish between data entered by keyboard 12 or from the pages using mouse 32.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the resident memory program's 40 component subroutines to illustrate the flow of data in the data processing system of FIG. 2. The resident memory program 40 includes the following component parts: a supervisory subroutine 50; a interrupt control routine 52; a data read or input routine 54; a data extraction routine 55; a data write or output routine 56; and a resident memory 58 for storing the index file 41 of data strings 42 and fields 43.
The supervisory subroutine 50 is responsible for allocation and scheduling of CPU processing time between the resident memory program 40 and the application program 16. The supervisory routine 50 permits both the resident memory program's 40 instructions and the application program's 16 instructions to be alternatively executed by the CPU. The interrupt control routine 52 responds to a mouse 32 selection signal by interrupting CPU processing of the application program 16. The resident memory program thereafter interprets the (p,r,c) coordinates by measuring the (x,y) distance the mouse has traveled, and places the data from the corresponding field 43 into the keyboard buffer 14. The interrupt routine then returns CPU control to the application program 16.
The read routine 54 reads the fields 19 in application program and/or data base 20 records 22a through 22n and creates in the resident memory 58 the index list 41 of data fields 43. The extraction routine 55 produces a concordance of all the distinct data values in the data base 20, and stores the data values into the appropriate fields 43. The data output routine 56, under the instructions of the supervisor routine 50, outputs data stored in the fields 43 to various periphery devices, for example, the keyboard buffer 14.
The method of the resident program 40 is broken down into distinct steps: generating an index file 41 to access the resident index list of data strings 42 and fields 43; storing data read from an existing application program and/or data base 20; formatting the user friendly descriptive items 36 on the pages; and utilizing the index list to enter data into the application program 16 when an item 36 selection is made on one of the pages.
In the first step, to create the index file 41 and list, the system operator prints an ASCII or other user friendly file of the application program and/or data base 20. The resident memory program reads the ASCII file, and places the concordance of unique data values into the resident data strings 42 and fields 43 in the index list. Alternatively, the resident memory program 40 may create the index file 41 by accessing the application program's stored data base 20 directly to index of fields 19 in the application program. In the next step, the descriptive items 36 are formatted and printed on the pages in both alternative indexing means described in step one. The resident memory program 40 stores the (p,r,c) addresses for the strings 42 in the index list corresponding to the items 36 on the pages.
The format parameters for organizing the items 36 on the pages are provided by the computer operator. The items 36 can be formatted in a variety of ways by rows and columns, including, but not limited to modifying the number of rows, the number of columns, the font style, the font size, and the number of pages, which data fields 43 in each string 42 to print, and which field or fields 43 contains the data to be transferred to the keyboard buffer 14 when the corresponding item 36 is selected. Accordingly, the operator has complete control to customize the organization of the items 36 appearing on the printouts 36. If desired, virtually an unlimited number of items 36 may be placed on a single printout 36.
In the third step, the resident memory program 40 and the resident list is loaded into memory 15. The application program 16 is loaded into memory 15. The (x,y) data input device 32 is connected to the CPU and the pages of each book are aligned and bounded. The system 10 is ready for data processing.
By way of example, in the embodiment chosen for purposes of describing the operation of the resident memory program 40, the application program 16 is an inventory control system for an auto part warehouse. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that any application program having may .be used concurrently with the present invention.
As best illustrated in FIG. 2, an example of the page format for the descriptive items for an autopart warehouse inventory program is shown. The descriptive items 36 for a list of "Engine Part No." is formatted in rows in the first book. Similar books and pages are made for a listing of auto part suppliers cities, a listing of auto part retailers, the key strokes that initiate custom entered resident program 40 macros designed by the operator, inventory control program macros, code numbers, text and the like.
During normal operation, the inventory control program provides a CRT prompt calling for the computer operator to type in the next inventory transaction to be performed. For example, to update the inventory data base 20 to include a new shipment of "CHAMPION" spark plugs, the operator first selects with mouse 32 a macro descriptive item 57 entitled "NEW GOODS RECEIVED." In response to the selection, the resident memory program 40 transfers the macro's keystrokes stored in the corresponding field or fields 43 into the keyboard buffer 14. Once the keystrokes are in the keyboard buffer 14, CPU control is switched back to the inventory program 16, which responds to the keystrokes by invoking an update inventory subroutine.
The inventory program 16 next generates a CRT prompt calling for the part identification number. The user then selects the descriptive item 36 "CHAMPION" spark plug from the "Engine Part No." list of book A. The resident memory program 40 accesses the corresponding data string 42 and index field storing the "CHAMPION" spark plug identification number "CH1" and inputs it to the keyboard buffer 14.
The inventory program then generates a prompt calling for the quantity to be entered. The user can then either type in the quantity on keyboard 12 or select a numerical descriptive term 36 as shown in book D. Once the data is in the keyboard buffer 14, it is processed by the inventory program. Upon completion, the inventory program generates another prompt asking for the next inventory transaction.
In an alternative embodiment, the mouse 32 may be replaced by any device capable of generating and transmitting to the CPU (x,y) coordinate signals. Examples of such devices include, but are not limited to, data tablets or digitizers 60 having a stylus 62. A printout with items 36 arranged thereon is placed over the tablet surface. To select an item 36, a stylus is pointed to the item 36. In response thereto, the tablet 60 generates an (x,y) signal to provide the resident memory program 40 the required (p,r,c) information to access the corresponding string 42. The data is entered in the same manner as described above. Similarly, the items 36 may be placed on a touch sensitive membrane display and the operator may select an item for input by touching the item 36 appearing on the display or using a mouse device. While the present invention has been described with reference to a few specific embodiments, the description is illustrative of the invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Historical Traveler Reviews Aalborg Hotel Amsterdam
Small but fine !!!
I stayed there for 4 nights for business.
Room is tiny but very clean. Very friendly staff.
Looks like just renovated.
During my stay, the breakfast room was under renovation.
I suppose when this renovation is done, this hotel looks really good.
Several tram stops are located very close to the hotel.
Max. 10 min to the exhibition center, 15 min to the central station.
Not a luxury hotel, but I recommend this hotel for both business and private.
Spotlessly clean room
My single room was incredibly tiny and an older person would struggle with trying to take a shower in the even tinier bathroom.
BUT you get what you pay for and don't get what you don't pay for.
The bed was very comfortable and the room spotlessly clean. The breakfast was modest, but adequate. Absolutely fine all in all.
I broke my glasses when I slipped on a tram journey. The reception staff couldn't have been more helpful in finding me an optician to do an emergency repair.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to young people on a sightseeing holiday.
Just fine
A fine hotel for our needs on our trip to Amsterdam.
The purpose for our trip was to go to several concerts at the Concertgebouw, and as this hotel is a 10 minutes walk from the venue, this hotel was perfect for us. We only spent the nights at the hotel anyway, so we didn't need luxury.
The room was clean, the beds good and the bathroom just fine. Our room was on the first floor, 5 steps to walk to the breakfast room. The breakfast was basic consisting of corn-flakes, bread , toast, cheez, ham, salami, jam, boiled eggs etc. But we really didn't miss anything.
Will stay here again the next time we are going for a Concertgebouw concert-weekend to Amsterdam.
An experience
A group of colleagues and I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel whilst attending the ESICM conference at the RAI. For location it is excellent only 20 minutes brisk walk to the conference centre (6 minutes run if in a hurry). The town centre is about a 40 minute walk but it is easier to get a tram from the end of the road a number 4 or 25. There is also a great bar/cafe/restraunt on the corner of the park opposite the hotel. As for the hotel my colleagues and I had never laughed so much. Firstly they checked out my room a single with views over the park. Now this room (room 30) was small such that I could touch both walls across the width of the room and if I was any taller than my 6ft 2 inch I would have to sleep with my feet out of the window. The bed was reasonably comfortable but I dont remember spending much time in it anyway. The bathroom well what can I say? A pleasant british racing green tiled thing with the smallest bath I have ever seen. The bath incidently doubled as the shower and had a lovely slope from one end almost down to the plug hole. I guess a contortionist could bend to sit in the bath but I had a struggle to get in and nearly called the fire brigade to get out. Room was relatively clean and tidy, mind you the room wasnt exactly big. The TV remote did not work, no tea/coffee making facilities. My colleagues had a twin and a quad between them (There were no other twins left). The twin (room 1)on the ground floor had no opening windows and a broken window fan. The beds were so close together that it may as well have been called a double room. The quad room (room 12) had two beds plus some sort of fold down bed supposed to be a double (not) the bathroom was normal size with full size bath although the plug did not fit properly but this didnt matter as the water drianage was poor. Breakfast was okay with cereals yoghurt and ham and cheese not inspired but okay all the same. Customer service was variable with occasionally very helpfull and occasionnaly not at all helpfully but mostly in between. I would use this hotel again for its cheap price and location and as I wasn't spending much time in it.
I'm in my last night (of four) here, in Amsterdam for a conference. I booked into the Aalborg because it is convenient both for the RAI centre and the city centre/attractions, and less pricey than alternatives I was able to find on a 'net search (before finding tripadvisor.com). I've stayed at many far nicer hotels at one quarter of the price, but not in Amsterdam.
Rather a lot of people at the conference have reported disappointment with their hotels here. So lets start with what's good. The location is great, surrounded by some wonderful cafes, restaurants, and within reasonable walking distance of everything. The staff are pleasant. Breakfast is decent, though not inspired. The bed is clean and reasonably comfy. And I can open my bedroom window - or rather skylight - wide, without excessive traffic noise. Finally, there's wireless LAN, though it's intermittent.
Having said that, it's a disappointment overall. The bedroom is minute, and very cramped, and the bathroom even more so, so that taking a shower is something of a contortionists exercise. Combine that with the incredibly steep and narrow stairs, and it's definitely not somewhere to come if you're any fatter than me, or not too agile (hey, I'm fortysomething and overweight, but fit and healthy). The whole place is rather shabby, and the towels look clean but don't smell too good. There's no view at all. And although traffic noise is moderate, noise from within the hotel, including the lift, is not good. It's also quite a lot warmer than outside: that's OK now in May, but could be unpleasant in high summer.
Im beating myself up as to what to say....
My views on this hotel are quite mixed. We booked a quad room and when we arrived it turned out to be a twin room with a large single fold down bed. The duvet covers were not the cleanest and we had no towels..however, this was quickly resolved when we spoke to the chap on the front desk. Later that night after a few sherrys etc we returned to the room to see the store cupboard had been left open..with a mattress in it. Well we decided to take it and hope for the best!. It was obvious the following day that the staff were aware of us nicking stuff from the cupboard but it was graciously ignored.. Fab!. Hotel location is average.. although tram leaves from literally just round the corner and will take you to Dam square for about E1.60.. very regular as well. Also very nice little restaurant on the corner - great breakfast. Breakfast in the hotel was okay - if you like cheese and ham.. and eggs...and cheese. On the whole this was not the cleanest hotel ive stayed in, but the staff were great and prob the friendliest ive come across. Despite the hotel having a very, very dodgy lift.. and VERY small stairs, this was one of my most enjoyable trips.. so what can i say?. I think id say give it a go..what do you have to lose?!
Absolutely Fine
I was looking for a modest hotel for one night and found the Aalborg through a search engine. My room and en-suite were very small but with a desk and view of the park. My breakfast was very good and served in a pleasant dining room. I would certainly return to this hotel myself. The room was clean and I imagine that a family would be given a perfectly acceptable (and larger) room. Service was friendly.
