The invention performing abdominal exercises includes a rigid shell having a rear portion and a sidewall rigidly attached to the rear portion and extending forward from the rear portion to define an inner chamber. The sidewall forms a rim defining an opening adapted for sealably attaching to the abdominal portion of the body. A vacuum mechanism in fluid communication with the chamber creates suction within the shell such that to contract the abdominal muscles the applied suction must be counteracted by the abdominal muscles. Contracting the muscles against the suction produced by the vacuum exercises the abdominal muscles.
1. An exercise apparatus for developing a set of abdominal muscles of a human body, such apparatus comprising:
means for distending the set of abdominal muscles by application of a vacuum to such muscles, said means providing a progressive resistance to a contraction of the distended abdominal muscles against the vacuum; and
a sealing means for maintaining vacuum against the body.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/653,812, filed May 28, 1996, now abandoned, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/343,117, filed Nov. 22, 1994, now abandoned.
This invention relates to an exercise device generally, and more particularly to a device for use in exercising the abdominal muscles through application of suction.
Therapeutic medicine has clearly established the fact that muscles can retain their strength and elasticity only if they are forced to perform the balanced movements of both contracting and stretching. Known prior art exercise devices, however, are directed to and are limited to repetitive contraction of abdominal muscles only. Known exercise devices are either designed for the development of mighty abdominal muscles or for superficially toning them by periodic contraction of these muscles against resistance, or by impact produced by various impact devices. Abdominal exercisers typically require use of other muscles in addition to abdominal muscles such as back and leg muscles. In such machines, the user typically bends the back to contract the abdominal muscles or brings the legs forward to accomplish the same purpose. Those with back ailments or other similar problems are unable to use such devices. Additionally, those using such devices may injure other muscles.
In addition, it is desirable that exercise devices be adaptable so that other parts of the body may be exercised. Such an adaptable device saves space which may be at a premium in gyms and homes.
The disadvantages and problems of the above-described devices for exercising the abdominal muscles are substantially overcome by the present invention by providing an abdominal exerciser that uses suction to exercise the abdominal muscles. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved device for exercising the abdominal muscles that substantially overcomes the above problems.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved exercise device that does not require substantial use of the back or leg muscles when performing the abdominal exercises.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an improved exercise device using suction against which the abdominal muscles work.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide an improved exercise device that can vary the suction to adjust the intensity of the exercise performed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved exercise device which may be easily adapted to exercise different parts or members of the body.
The invention for performing abdominal exercises includes a rigid shell having an upper portion, sidewalls rigidly attached to the upper portion, the rigid shell defining an internal chamber, and an opening of the chamber disposed opposite the upper portion. The sidewalls form a rim portion disposed along a portion of the opening and is adapted for sealably attaching to the abdominal portion of the body. A vacuum mechanism connected to the shell portion and in communication with the chamber creates suction within the shell such that the applied suction may be counteracted by the abdominal muscles to exercise the muscles.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view depicting a user in operational contact with a preferred embodiment of an exercise device;
FIG. 2 is a side perspective view of the device shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a cut-away side view of the shell depicting a plunger mechanism according to a specific embodiment of the present invention taken along line 3—3 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 4 is a front perspective view of a preferred embodiment of an attachment to the exercise device of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a hand powered pump that may be used with the system of FIG. 1.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, a preferred embodiment of the exercise device is shown generally as 10. The exercise device 10 includes a substantially rigid shell 12 which defines an inner chamber 13. The rigid shell 12 has a rear wall or portion 14 and a side wall 16 rigidly attached about the periphery of the rear portion and extending forward from the rear portion to define an open end 18. The sidewall 16 is preferably integrally formed with the rear portion 14. The forward end of the sidewall forms a rim 20 which may have sealing or cushioning material 21 such as rubber or plastic secured to it so that when the shell 12 is placed on an abdominal portion of a user, the flow of air between the rim 20 and the abdominal portion 24 of the user is restrained. Preferably a substantially air-tight seal should be formed between the rim 20 and the abdominal portion 24. Any suitable sealing material may be used, such as closed cell sponge rubber.
While the shell 12 is depicted as generally rectangular in shape with a rectangular planar rear portion 14, it will be appreciated that any suitable shape or size may be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Such suitable shapes include a cylinder, a hemisphere, or any irregular shape that provides a rim which sealably contacts at least a portion of the abdominal area of the body such that a sealed chamber 13 is placed about the area.
A vacuum mechanism, shown generally as 28, creates a partial vacuum within the shell 12, and thus, creates suction that "pulls" against the abdominal muscles 24. The vacuum created when the user activates the vacuum mechanism 28 essentially urges the abdominal muscles 24 to distend into the shell 12 such that to contract the abdominal muscles the user must counteract the suction force of the vacuum. Repeated contractions of the abdominal muscle 24 against the force created by the suction effectively exercises the abdominal muscles.
The shell 12 is suitably dimensioned to fit the abdominal portion of the user and may be produced in several sizes to accommodate children and adults. The shell preferably fits over the abdominal portion of the user and may be large enough to extend from just below the breast bone to just above the pelvic bone. Corresponding, the shell 12 is small enough so that the rim 20 sealably contacts the various body contours of the user to attain a vacuum seal.
The vacuum mechanism 28 includes a vacuum pump 30, a vacuum tube 32 connected to the vacuum pump, and a valve 34 or collar located in the rear portion 14 of the shell 12 for connecting the vacuum tube to the shell 12. The vacuum pump 30 and vacuum tube 32 may be supplied by a household vacuum cleaner apparatus whereby the vacuum cleaner hose easily attaches to the valve 34 or collar located in the shell 12. Once the vacuum cleaner is activated, the vacuum is supplied, and hence, suction is created within the chamber 13. Alternatively, the vacuum pump 30 may be a stand-alone pump powered by household electricity or may be a battery powered pump. The vacuum pump 30 may also be a hand powered pump such as a squeeze-bulb pump (100,FIG. 4 ) which produces a vacuum when repeatedly squeezed. Any suitable device for creating a vacuum may be used. Such vacuum producing pumps and equipment are common, inexpensive, and well known in the art.
The exercise 10 device may also include a vacuum gauge 36 attached to the shell 12. The vacuum gauge 36 measures the vacuum created to indicate to the user the current level of exertion, since the greater the vacuum, the greater the suction force exerted on the abdominal muscles 24, and hence, the greater the intensity of the exercise in the contracting of the muscles.
A vacuum adjustment mechanism 38 may be disposed in the shell 12 to allow the user to vary the applied vacuum. The vacuum adjustment mechanism 38 allows a controlled amount of air flow into the shell so that the amount of suction may be reduced or increased by the user. The vacuum adjustment mechanism 38 includes a slot 39 preferably disposed in the sidewall 16 of the shell and a movable sliding door 40 capable of selectively blocking the slot when moved by the user. This allows the user to easily adjust suction force and thus the level of exercise. For example, if the user decides to reduce the exertion level of the exercise, the door 40 may be moved towards an open position so that the vacuum is significantly reduced. When the user wishes to increase the exertion level, the door 40 is shut to allow the vacuum to increase to appropriate exercise levels. Alternatively, the vacuum adjustment mechanism 38 may be, for example, a valve with a controllable opening, a rotatable vent, or any suitable mechanism which controls the level of vacuum within the shell 12. The vacuum pump 30 may also include a control which varies the level of vacuum such as a port in the hose which may be selectively opened. Of course, placement of the vacuum gauge 36 or the vacuum adjustment mechanism 38 is not limited to any specific location on the shell 12 and may be placed at any convenient location.
The shell may also include two finger holes 41 adjacent the slot 39 in the sidewall 16. When the exercise device 10 is activated, it is preferred that the user block each finger hole 41 with a finger to maintain the vacuum. This allows for an effective emergency reduction of the suction by removal of the fingers from the finger holes 41, should such a reduction be necessary.
In an alternate embodiment, a single vacuum mechanism 28 may provide the vacuum to a plurality of exercise shells 12 through a series of vacuum tubes. The plurality of shells 12 could then be used by a number of users at the same time. This is economical since only a single vacuum pump 30 is needed.
In another embodiment, a belt or strap 42 may be provided to secure the shell 12 to the user. The belt 42 may attach to the shell 12 and encircle the user's waist to further secure the shell when the user is in the vertical position. For example, such a belt 42 may fasten with VELCRO�, or may be in the form of a seat belt with clasps.
Referring now to FIG. 3, an alternate embodiment of the exercise device 10 of FIG. 1 is shown having a plunger mechanism, shown generally as 50. Various exercise devices attempt to maintain a constant amount of tension or force exerted by the muscles throughout the entire range of muscle movement. The plunger mechanism 50 responds to the amount of the displacement of the abdominal muscles 24 and varies the vacuum level so as to vary the force of the suction dependent on the configuration of the abdomen.
The plunger mechanism 50 includes a flap 52 having one end mounted to the rear portion 14 of the shell 12. The other end of the flap 52 is pivotally attached to an arm 53. The other end of the arm 53 connects to a foot 54 adapted to contact the abdominal muscle area 24. When the abdominal muscles are most relaxed (most distended) as shown by numeral 56, the arm 53 is in a first position, shown as I. When the abdominal muscles 24 are least relaxed or most contracted, as shown by a dashed line and designated as numeral 58, the arm 53 is in a second position, shown as II. A spring 59 disposed at the end of the flap 52 mounted to the shell 12 urges the flap 52 and the arm 53, and hence, the foot 54, against the abdominal portion 24 of the user regardless of the position of the user. Thus, the user may be vertical or horizontal when using the exerciser 10.
The position of arm 53 relative to the abdominal muscles 24 and the shell 12 communicates the effective position of the abdomen to the flap 52. Depending upon the position of the arm 53, the flap 52 partially blocks the opening 66 of the vacuum tube 32 at a point where the tube enters the shell 12. This varies the level of applied vacuum. When the abdominal muscles 24 are most relaxed, as shown by numeral 56, the vacuum is maintained at a minimum level since the flap 52 is in the most closed position covering the opening 66. Conversely, when the abdominal muscles 24 are most contracted, as when the user is exercising heavily, as shown by numeral 58, the vacuum is maintained at a maximum level since the flap 52 is in the most open position allowing full suction to be applied.
Alternatively, the minimum and maximum vacuum levels may be adjusted by the user to provide a comfortable exercise level. For example, the minimum vacuum level may be increased while the maximum vacuum level may be decreased by adjusting the plunger mechanism.
The spring 59 also biases the flap 52 away from the opening 66 to counteract the suction force applied by the vacuum pump 30. The angular displacement of the flap 52 governed by the arm 53 and abdomen 24 when the abdomen is relaxed, forces the flap 52 to at least partially block the opening 66 by overcoming the biasing force of the spring 59.
The flap 52 need not be attached to the arm 53 such that displacement of the arm results in an equal displacement of the flap. Rather, the plunger mechanism 50 may include a mechanism, such as a gear and ratchet mechanism 70 which translates movement of the arm 53 into an incremental movement of the flap 52. For example, displacement of the arm 53 may not cause angular displacement of the flap 52, but rather, may cause horizontal displacement of the flap in a direction parallel to the upper portion 14 of the shell, as shown by the arrow labeled 72. Thus, displacement of the arm 53 may cause the flap 52 to be horizontally displaced relative to the opening 66 so that a small portion of the opening is partially blocked. This allows displacement of the arm 53 to accurately control coverage of the flap 52 over the opening 66 to maintain a desired level of vacuum within the chamber 13. Thus, the plunger mechanism 50 adjusts the vacuum level to keep a substantially constant force against the abdominal muscles 24 so that the user experiences a substantially "constant resistance" when exercising.
Alternatively, the size and shape of the shell 12 may be altered to provide an exercise device for muscle groups other than the abdominal muscle.
Referring to FIG. 4, in conjunction with FIG. 1, an apparatus for use in combination with the exercise device 10 to form an assembly for exercising such members of the body as the arms and legs is shown generally at 100. The apparatus 100 is configured to utilized the suction created within the shell 12 to provide a force resisting the outward movement of a planar member 102 within the chamber 13. The member 102 is preferably rigid and maybe made of any suitable material. The member 102 is attached about its periphery to an inner end 104 a of a diaphragm 104 composed of a flexible material which is substantially nonporous to the passage of air, such as a rubberized cloth.
The planar member 102 is sized so that it fits between the sidewalls 16 of the shell 12 in a position which is substantially parallel to the rear portion 14 and may freely move within the shell toward and away from the rear portion. An outer end 104 b of the diaphragm is attached to a liner 106 which is preferably elastic, and sized so that the liner may be stretched about and sealingly engaged to the sealing material 21 about the rim 20 of the shell 12. Because of the elasticity, the liner 106 may be slightly stretched to fit about and sealingly engage the rim 20.
As will be noted, when the assembly 100 is attached to the shell 12, the planar member 102, diaphragm 104 and liner 106 combine to seal against, or severely restrict the flow of air, so that the suction force created by the vacuum pump 30 draws the planar member 102 back toward the rear portion 14. The suction force also provides a force of resistance opposing the movement of the member 102 away from the rear portion 14 and toward the rim 20. A grasping member 108 for applying an outward directed force to move the planar member 102 away from the rear portion 14 is attached to the planar member 102. The grasping member 108 is preferably a handle 110 but may also be an adjustable strap with a hood and pile arrangement so that a foot or hand may be removably attached to the planar member 102.
To fixably attach the assembly 100 to the shell 12 so that use of the assembly does not dislodge the assembly from the shell, the assembly includes a number of self-attaching flaps 112. The flaps 112 have sufficient length to extend around the sidewall 16 to the exterior of the rear portion 14 where the flaps may be attached to each other by means of hook and pile strips 114 which are placed on both sides of each of the flaps in close proximity to the outer end 112 a of the flaps.
In operation, the user takes the insert apparatus 100 and inserts the planar member 102 into the chamber 13 and positions the member 102 so that it is generally co-planar with the rear portion 14 of the shell 12. The liner 106 is then juxtaposingly extended about the sealing material 21 disposed about the rim 20. With this placement, the diaphragm 104 extends generally along the sidewall 16 within the chamber 13. The flaps 112 are then folded along the exterior of the sidewall 16, around the rear portion 14 and attached to each other with the hook and pile strips 114. The flaps 112 should be attached so that they are taut along the shell 12 to firmly anchor the liner 106 along the rim 20.
The vacuum pump 30 is then activated which creates a suction in the space defined by and between the apparatus 100 and shell 12 within the chamber 13. The suction draws the member 102 against or in close proximity to the rear portion 14. The user may then grasp the grasping member 108 to pull the planar member forward, away from the rear portion 14 and toward the rim 20. After the user has pulled the planar member 102 away from the rear portion 14 and preferably to a position generally aligned with the rim 20, the user may than reduce the pulling force so that the suction pulls the member 102 back toward the upper portion 14. This process may than be repeated until the exercise activity is complete.
Specific embodiments of the abdominal exercise device according to the invention have been described for the purpose of illustrating the manner in which the invention may be made and used. It should be understood that implementation of other variations and modifications of the invention and its various aspects will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and that the invention is not limited by the specific embodiments described. It is therefore contemplated to cover by the present invention any and all modifications, variations, or equivalents that fall within the true spirit and scope of the basic principles disclosed and claimed herein.

My husband and I took a chance on Cyrano's and had one of the best meals we can remember. This is the real deal, even the waiter is French. Food, service and atmosphere are top-notch. Portions are generous, but not too much. We ate every morsel and couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more! Without drinks, tax and tip our bill was around $50 each. This great little spot is one of our new favorites for when we're in Chicago. Can't wait to bring friends here.

Everything was spectacular. The food was top notch. The service couldn't have been better. The staff was very friendly and always smiling. Now in my top 5 of French Restaurants
Posted by Alan on 06/23/2008
No matter what city I am in, I always look for a good French restaurant. After having tried six or seven such in Chicago that ranged from mediocre to rather good, I finally hit on Cyrano's. It is not only the best French restaurant in the city, it is one of the best I have found outside of France. The menu includes more than the touristy type dishes like steaks frites and confit du canard, although they are available as well. Rognons de veau, a connoisseur's delight, is delicious. Chef Didier even promised he would make me coeurs de canard (hearts of duck) if I would call in advance. That is a dish I have seen on a menu and eaten only once- in a restaurant in Nantes. The wine list is just the right size and features many selections from chef Didier's home region of Languedoc. The prices are reasonable and the service friendly and personable without being intrusive. The atmosphere is authentic and convivial, a little corner of Paris in the heart of Chicago, but well away from too touristy Michigan Avenue.

We've been to this restaurant many times when in town on business. The red and yellow color scheme, lace curtains, and French artwork make you feel you are in Paris. Every meal has been creative. Wonderful fresh baquettes are brought to your table. Service has always been efficient and friendly. Romantic setting, and they have jazz nights on weekends in a downstairs room.

I adjusted the top sleeve of the sweater again, pulling it ever so carefully into position like a member of the bomb squad cutting the red wire. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. If I pulled it too far, it exposed that extra inch of skin on my ankle, but if I didn't pull it far enough it didn't provide enough coverage on my butt cheeks. Tick. Tock. But having cold cheeks wasn't my only problem. The problem was, the sweater was on my legs, a size too small, and I was in the trunk of a sedan. It was my first extended road trip and I didn't own a sleeping bag. KA-BOOM!

ROYAL BABY: Cambridge welcomes birth of Kate's little boy
Posted: July 22, 2013|
The city welcomed its prince last night, as the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a boy.
The baby was born at 4.24pm at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, west London, and weighed 8lbs 6oz.
He becomes Cambridge's first prince for more than 100 years, and will be known as His Royal Highness Prince of Cambridge, with the first name inserted.
The news was broken at 8.30pm, when a statement was released by Kensington Palace, which read: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 4.24pm."
It revealed the Duchess and her child were "both doing well" and would "remain in hospital overnight".
The Duke - who was spending the night with his wife as they bonded with their new son at the Lindo wing of St Mary's Hospital - issued a brief statement saying: "We could not be happier."
In Cambridge, Cllr Paul Saunders, the mayor of the city, was quick to welcome the news.
He beamed: "This happy event has created huge pleasure and excitement in the UK and indeed throughout the world, but those feelings are particularly strong in Cambridge as the baby bears the title of our world-renowned city.
"There have been other Princes and Princesses of Cambridge, though not for very many years, so it is really wonderful to be able to welcome the new royal baby and to extend sincere greetings and congratulations on behalf of the city to Their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge."
He also revealed the city council had agreed with the Duke and Duchess to make a donation to her chosen charity, the Milton-based East Anglia's Children's Hospices.
Books of congratulations are available in the Guildhall main reception, Market Square, for anyone wishing to sign, and at Cambridgeshire County Council offices at Shire Hall.
Marcus Setchell, the Queen's former gynaecologist – who is from Hemingford Abbots – led the medical team that delivered the baby, and was the first signature on the official notice that was posted on an easel outside Buckingham Palace to confirm the birth.
Well-wishers from around the globe screamed with excitement as news of the birth of the royal baby spread.
Mr Setchell said "wonderful baby, beautiful baby" as he left the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital at around 9.20pm.
The chairman of the county council, Kevin Reynolds, was another local figure delighted to hear the news that the Duchess had given birth to a boy. He said: "On behalf of the residents of Cambridgeshire I would like to congratulate the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their baby boy."
Aubrey Buxton, the High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire, and one of the Queen's representatives in the region, said: "I think like everyone else I am delighted with the news, and it is particularly good for Cambridge.
"I hope very much that the prince will come and visit as soon as he is able to."
Another royal representative, the Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire, Hugh Duberly, said: "It gives me great pleasure to extend my warmest congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge following the birth of their baby – the Prince of Cambridge."
Members of the baby's family were also quick to welcome the latest addition to their family.
The Prince of Wales, who has become a grandfather for the first time, summed up the feelings of the Royal Family when he described the new arrival as an "incredibly special moment for William and Catherine".
He added: "Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone's life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future."
William telephoned his family to tell them the good news, speaking personally to the Queen, his father Charles and younger brother Prince Harry.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are delighted at the news."
The country's Prime Minister David Cameron smiled as he addressed the press outside 10 Downing Street.
He declared the birth "an important moment in the life of our nation" and said: "It is wonderful news from St Mary's, Paddington and I am sure that right across the country, and indeed right across the Commonwealth, people will be celebrating and wishing the royal couple well.
"It is an important moment in the life of our nation but, I suppose, above all it is a wonderful moment for a warm and loving couple who have got a brand new baby boy.
"It has been a remarkable few years for our royal family - a royal wedding that captured people's hearts, that extraordinary and magnificent jubilee and now this royal birth - all from a family that has given this nation so much incredible service."
In a statement, US president Barack Obama said: "Michelle and I are so pleased to congratulate The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the joyous occasion of the birth of their first child.
"We wish them all the happiness and blessings parenthood brings. The child enters the world at a time of promise and opportunity for our two nations.
"Given the special relationship between us, the American people are pleased to join with the people of the United Kingdom as they celebrate the birth of the young prince."

The Moabite Stone
Mesha Stele (Moabite
The next year some local Arabs, realizing all that was at stake, laboriously hoisted it out of the earth and lit a fire around it, and after pouring cold water on it they chipped away several large pieces which they distributed among a few of them. Later the French re-assembled 669 of the estimated 1100 consonants from the pieces and preserved the inscription. It now remains in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The Moabite Stone
"The skeptics' claim that King David never existed is now hard to defend. Last year the French scholar Andre Lemaire reported a related "House of David" discovery in Biblical Archaeology Review. His subject was the Mesha Stele (also known as the Moabite Stone), the most extensive inscription ever recovered from ancient Palestine. Found in 1868 at the ruins of biblical Dibon and later fractured, the basalt stone wound up in the Louvre, where Lemaire spent seven years studying it. His conclusion: the phrase "House of David" appears there as well. As with the Tel Dan fragment, this inscription comes from an enemy of Israel boasting of a victory--King Mesha of Moab, who figured in the Bible. Lemaire had to reconstruct a missing letter to decode the wording, but if he's right, there are now two 9th century references to David's dynasty."

Size and Description
What is Written on the Stone?
What The Bible Says
Who Were the Moabites?
According to the Old Testament (e.g., Genesis 19:30-38), the Moabites belonged to the same ethnic stock as the Israelites, having descended from Moab, a son of Lot, who was a nephew of the first Hebrew, Abraham. There are many mentions in the Bible about the Moabites. King Saul in the 11th Cent. B.C. fought against them, David's great grandmother Ruth was from Moab (Ruth 4:17-22), and it was in Moab that David sought refuge from King Saul (1 Samuel 22:3-4). Sanballat, who in Nehemiah's time was associated with Tobiah the Ammonite and Geshem the Arab against the Jews (<Neh. 2:10,19>; etc.), was a Horonite. If this name is derived from Horonaim, Sanballat was a Moabite, as he is quite often regarded.
The god whom the Moabites believed protected their nation was Chemosh:
"Chemosh was an ancient West Semitic deity, revered by the Moabites as their supreme god. Little is known about Chemosh; although King Solomon of Israel built a sanctuary to him east of Jerusalem (1 Kings 11:7), the shrine was later abolished by King Josiah (2 Kings 23:13). The goddess Astarte was probably the cult partner of Chemosh."
- Encyclopædia Britannica
"King Omri and His
"The House of David"
Something Interesting To
Unger makes mention that:
"The inscription on this stone in a remarkable degree supplements and corroborates the history of King Mesha recorded in (2 Kin. 3:4-27). It affords evidence of the knowledge of alphabetic writing in the lands of the Jordan."
and Sayce comments:
"The art of writing and reading can have been no new thing. As soon as Mesha has shaken off the yoke of the foreigner, he erects an inscribed monument in commemoration of his victories. . . . It is the first and most natural thing for him to do, and it is taken for granted that the record will have numerous readers. . . . Moreover, the forms of the letters as they appear on the Moabite Stone show that alphabetic writing must have been long practiced in the kingdom of Mesha. They are forms which presuppose a long acquaintance with the art of engraving inscriptions upon stones, and are far removed from the forms out of which they must have developed. Then, again, the language of the inscription is noteworthy. Between it and Hebrew the differences are few and slight. It is a proof that the Moabites were akin to the Israelites in language as well as in race, and that like their kinsfolk they had adopted the ancient 'language of Canaan.' The likeness between the languages of Moab and Israel extends beyond the mere idioms of grammar and syntax. It is a likeness which exists also in thought" (Sayce, Higher Crit. and the Mon., p. 364).
What Happened to the
Isaiah, in his "burden against Moab" (Isa. 15-16; 25:10), predicts, in poetic lamentation, the fall of Moab reducing it to a small and feeble remnant (16:14).
Isa 15:1-3 "The burden against Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste and destroyed, because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste and destroyed, He has gone up to the temple and Dibon, to the high places to weep. Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba; on all their heads will be baldness, and every beard cut off. In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth; on the tops of their houses and in their streets everyone will wail, weeping bitterly." (NKJ)
Isa 25:10-12 "For on this mountain the hand of the LORD will rest, and Moab shall be trampled down under Him, as straw is trampled down for the refuse heap. And He will spread out His hands in their midst as a swimmer reaches out to swim, and He will bring down their pride together with the trickery of their hands. The fortress of the high fort of your walls he will bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, down to the dust. (NKJ)
The name Moab became a typical byword for the enemies of God.

Geforce fx 5200
Trying to get a new card to work in linux. geforce fx 5200 in SuSE 8.1. MSI KT4V M/board, athlon 2400+.
Trying to install the GLX insists I need kernel 2.2 or greater when I am running 2.4
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Use the 4363 installer (if you aren't -- it sounds like you're still using separate kernel and GLX packages; that's no longer needed), and then (if it still fails) post the contents of /var/log/nvidia-installer.log.
As it is, with a very vague idea of the error message (or at least, what you thought the error was -- which doesn't mean that that wasn't the error, but it is a possibility), we can't really do much of anything. With the log file, we'll be able to see exactly what the error was.
further issues
Won't be able to get the additional info until much later as I am at work until 9 tonight :(
The nvidia website says to continue using rpm's with suse 8.1 as sax2 won't recognise the card if you use the installer. will try with the more up to date glx and kernel tonight when I get home. see if it recognises the kernel.
cest la vie
If not, copy and paste the exact error from the terminal. Or, do rpm -ivh filename.rpm >log.txt 2>&1 and post log.txt.
sorted after 3 hours sweating and cursing over the computer after work last night. mixed and matched the instructions from about 3 different sources on how to compile the drivers, finally got it working just past midnight last night.
any chance of including support for suse 8.1 in the next .run file??
by that time it's possible that SuSE will have released 8.2 via ftp though (tight git that I am)
thanks for your help

now can't get any openGL apps to work - specifically Tux Racer for my son. everytime I try to change it in SaX2 it says it is saving, but when I try to open anything it still says that 3D support is not enabled. Will append files asap

Couldn't have barked it better myself! I think I've been to that Starbarks once. I prefer hanging out in Northampton or Amherst. Much more dog friendly, and waaaay more things to sniff up that way!
I walk the streets of Downtown Springfield every single night and I don't see any of this scary stuff the people of Masslive talk about. (Then again I strike fear into people with my handsomeness.) Tear that sucker down and build a nice little dog park for me and my furry friends! THEN you'll get folks coming down here to hang out and have a good time when there's nothing going on at the CC.
These apps are fine and dandy, but are NOTHING like Instagram! Follow me on the there at @Bonjournino!
Just an FYI: They aren't GIVING condoms to anyone. The students would have to go get them. From the nurse. But what would I know. I'm just a dog. (With that said I wish Springfield would offer up canine condoms.)
Awwwwww yeeeaaaaaahhhhh!!! Holyoke, East Longmeadow, Agawam and now Westfield! Maybe now I won't have to travel all the way to Boston to zoom around at a dog park with my homies!
Hold up...did I read that right? "A place for dogs to run around"??? o_O
Thumbs up Longmeadow! Haters gonna hate!
Hoomanz need to be worried about naughty Golden Retrievers not pitbulls! http://youtu.be/I6X6OJYbC1A
They have a glow-in-the-dark sole!
Please tell me someone of Puerto Rican descent is running for council so they can oust this racist buffoon. He just gave them the perfect slogan too!

Robby Albarado Joins 4,000-Win Club
(Edited press release)
Robby Albarado became the 56th North American jockey to reach the 4,000-victory milestone when he rode Barbara Hunter's Keertana to victory in the ninth race at Churchill Downs on May 30.
In his milestone triumph, Albarado split horses in deep stretch on the Matt Winn Turf Course to edge Kiss Mine by three-quarters of a length for the victory.
"I guess my next goal would be 5,000," Albarado said. "That's kind of the end your career or the retirement number for most jocks. Once you get to that 5,000, you start looking for the way out. I'm not saying that's my way out, but you set goals for yourself.
"I never thought I'd get to 4,000 so it's an honor. I've got to congratulate all of the owners and trainers who have supported me continuously throughout the years. They stuck by me, and it's pretty much been the same guys for the last 10 to 15 years."
A 35-year-old native of Lafayette, La., Albarado rode his first winner at age 16 at Evangeline Downs in Louisiana. Albarado, who won his first Churchill Downs riding title at the 2008 spring meet, has ridden 812 of his 4,001 winners beneath the Twin Spires, the sixth-largest win total in track history.
Albarado was the regular rider for two-time Horse of the Year Curlin on which he earned his only victory in a Triple Crown race, the 2007 Preakness (gr. I). He also was the regular rider for 2003 Horse of the Year Mineshaft .
In his career, Albarado has ridden more than 24,000 races with earnings in excess of $149 million.
One race after his 4,000th win, Albarado guided Bold Start to victory in the $112,600 Aristides (gr. III).

The Republican-leaning rural county of Siskiyou, California has taken the first step toward seceding from the State.
County supervisors in Siskiyou, which lies in extreme Northern California along the Oregon border, voted 4-1Tuesday to secede, citing a strong dissatisfaction with the near absence of home rule. Ed Valenzuela, Chairman of the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors, cast the lone vote not to secede, saying the people had elected him to operate within the existing political structure.
The vote comes in response to pressure from residents who have complained that their interests are not represented in Sacramento, and that the legislature will continue to neglect their concerns over local resources – chiefly water – that are exploited to benefit the more populous areas of the State.
While the vote has no legal teeth, it does reflect a strong secessionist spirit that, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, predates World War II. Residents and some county leaders are encouraging neighboring Oregon and California counties to join the secession movement in the hope of realizing a decades-old dream of establishing a new U.S. State – the "State of Jefferson," named in honor of the Nation's third President.
"I haven't had one contact in regard to this issue that's in opposition," county supervisor Michael Kobseff told the Chronicle.
The road to secession is likely to remain untraveled, however, since both the California Legislature and the U.S. Congress would have to recognize secession and the creation of a new State.

Good policy comes from sharing ideasApril 19,2014The Green Mountain State is home to some of Americas most thoughtful and hardworking people. Vermonters deserve good policy that addresses the issues closest to them, and there is no better way to find good policy solutions than by sharing ideas with others. One way to do this is through membership at The American Legislative Exchange Council.
ALEC provides a forum where legislators, business leaders and policy experts can come together to share ideas about state policy from a limited government, free market perspective. ALEC legislative members have the opportunity to meet with other state lawmakers from across the country, discover what ideas are working in other states and learn from others mistakes so they arent repeated.
ALEC members also work with the business and policy communities to learn how state policies can help increase jobs and opportunities for all Americans, including those in Vermont. ALEC is a valuable educational resource, and Vermonters should know that good policy discussions are taking place that can help our states economy.
Take, for example, ALECs annual Rich States, Poor States report that ranks states economic competitiveness based on 15 tax policy variables. The states that rank highest often have low-tax policies to attract businesses and people to their state. Vermont is currently ranked last in the state economic index, and our lawmakers could learn from this report to develop a more attractive business climate and help secure the financial stability we all want. At ALEC meetings, Vermont legislators can work with their counterparts from Maine to California to find ways to make our state more competitive.
Constituents expect policymakers to be well-informed when they cast a vote. ALEC memberships provide valuable policy education and the common-sense sharing of ideas. People go on the Internet to find solutions to fix their sink or their car. Students use tutors to help them succeed in school. Teachers attend conferences and workshops to learn how to be better educators. Sharing good policy ideas is smart and resourceful, and ALEC members come together to provide each other the information and resources they need to make informed policy decisions. The best part is, all of ALECs resources are online, so even if youre not a member, you can easily see what good ideas are taking place in the states.
Independent thinking is integral to the democratic process, and Vermonts motto is a good reminder of this fact. Freedom and unity can be achieved through thoughtful discussion and debate, and using all available people and resources to solve state policy solutions is a smart idea. Good policy is not created in a vacuum, and by using the tools ALEC has to offer, Vermont state legislators are better equipped to address the issues Vermonters care most about.

Cheryl Haworth demonstrates her weightlifting prowess in the GIAC.
Cheryl Haworth Teaches Haverford to be "Strong"
At first glance, Olympic weightlifting might seem out of place amidst the scholarly brawniness that generally defines Haverford. But then again, Olympic medalist Cheryl Haworth has never been one to uphold traditional expectations.
Haworth, who has been called "the strongest woman in this hemisphere," visited Haverford last week as a part of both the ongoing art exhibition And the Winner is… and the Strange Truth Documentary Series. She currently holds the North American record in the clean and jerk lift (319 lbs.) as well as the snatch (275 lbs.) and has competed in three Olympic Games, winning the bronze medal in 2000.
Her weightlifting prowess, however, isn't the only thing that sets her apart. While Haworth weighs about 300 lbs., she remains flexible and agile. She's fond of boasting that she could out-jump all but two players on the U.S. Olympic Volleyball team and even run the 40-yard dash in 5.5 seconds. In her free time, though, she's an accomplished artist and received a B.F.A. in Historical Preservation at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
On Wednesday, the filmmaker Julie Wyman offered the Haverford community the first full public preview of her new documentary, STRONG!, which explores Haworth's multi-dimensionality and also her personal struggles. As she prepared to compete in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, she fought against injuries and the constant self-doubt that plagued her; she even contemplated quitting on several occasions. The film also chronicles the struggles of female weight lifters in general, living in a society with narrow views of femininity and acceptable body types for women. Even everyday activities like clothes shopping can be difficult and sometimes embarrassing for Haworth.
Visiting Assistant Professor John Muse, one of the curators of And the Winner is…, which explores competition and cooperation with an all-campus skee-ball tournament and a series of artist residencies, says he was initially inspired by the the tension between the two worlds that Haworth inhabits. The athletic sphere elevates and admires her strength, while the societal sphere is highly critical of women gaining weight. In one way, Muse noted, Haworth demonstrates how "by winning you can lose." On the other hand, by exemplifying the "shared wonders of teaching and training," she also breaks down the "so-called division between athletics and academics."
Despite becoming one of the most recognized figures in her sport, Haworth, like many other professional weightlifters, originally never intended it to be her focus. Haworth "accidentally" discovered weightlifting after her softball coach recommended a weight-training regimen to her when she was 12 to improve her softball prowess. Her affinity for lifting weights quickly blossomed, and within a few years, she became a national champion. But for all of her obvious natural ability, Haworth shies away from boasting.
"I'm not a particularly strong woman, pound-for-pound," she modestly insisted during both the post-screening discussion and the weightlifting workshop in the GIAC. "It's all about technique."
Though she placed a respectable sixth in the 2008 Olympics and contemplated competing in 2012, hip surgery forced her to retire permanently from the sport not long after competing in Beijing. Today, Haworth works as an admissions representative for her alma mater, but she told the audience after the screening that she's considering going back to school to become a nurse.
At the workshop on Friday, Haverford students, faculty and staff had a chance for an Olympic-style workout with Haworth along with Haverford's Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Cory Walts. Haworth demonstrated the technical intricacies of both the clean and jerk as well as the snatch, peppering her tips with humor.
"You'd be hard pressed to find an athlete without a butt," she reminded her audience by pointing to her backside. "It's where all the power comes from."
The workshop was also followed by a lunch conversation with Haworth, Wyman, Walts, and other Haverford coaches that took on competition, gender and other issues raised by STRONG! For a full schedule of events relating to And the Winner Is…, please visit http://andthewinneris.haverford.edu/.

Food is highly over-rated; microwaved pancakes taste spoiled; chicken soup is a travesty resembling something from a can; service is non-existent, dirty unkempt and very inconvenient -- difficult finding a high chair to sit on -- really uncomfortable. The staff needs to be trained. Shows Mr. Zabar is riding on his past perhaps unearned reputation

lox bagel, oj and coffee for $5.95! real tasty. be sure to go into their INCREDIBLE market next door. i picked up a dinner selection from several of their counters and had one great picnic.

Had the potato latkes. The oil they were cooked in was not good, and the texture was terrible. And in the unfortunately now-typical practice (a sign that the Civilized World As We Know It is coming to an end) they microwaved them to heat them, which of course made the texture worse. A place that sells so much quality food should be consistent.

Last night (saturday) we stopped at the cafe for a yogurt. Although the yogurt was good, the cafe was not clean. You couldn't find a clean spot on the tables to put down your food and the floor, well everything and anything was on it. The workers were too busy socializing with each other and not paying attention to the cleaning of the area. On the way out, when I went to throw out my finished cup, it was hard to find room in the garbage can. Mr. Zabar, I know that you are a fixture in Manhattan, but that doesn't mean that your establishment should be sub-par. We won't be coming back!

For what it is supposed to be a place to grab a quick bite this is an excellent place. Space is extremely limited and turnover is high (look on the bright side, that means that the food is on the fresh). Their hot chocolate is outstanding and a great value! Personally I like the no-bs attitude of the people behind the counter. They are efficient, accomodating, and ready to smile.

A fabulous place to stop for a good and cheap ($3.95) bagel with lox. Throw in a Boylan's Root Beer for a buck and take the whole thing outside and sit at one of the benches in the median on Broadway and it's heavenly.
Posted by Anonymous on 03/04/2007
5 dollar meal: bagel with cream cheese and lox, small coffee, small fresh OJ. Definitely only enough food for breakfast, but I like the value. Hard to find a place to sit, often near strangers. Can't fault them for being popular though...

PIGEON FORGE -- Sevier County fire officials are counting on an expected significant rain today to deal the death blow to a stubborn wildfire that had damaged or destroyed 65 structures and charred 160 acres by noon.
The fire roared through dozens of log rental cabins in the Black Bear Ridge Resort, which is situated in the hills near Pigeon Forge.
Emergency personnel from as many as 25 area agencies responded to the blaze, which broke out in late afternoon Sunday and spurred the voluntary evacuation of 150 people from threatened cabins and homes.
Jay Breeden, Sevier County fire marshal, said the fire broke out below a couple of cabins on Long Branch Road, destroyed them and quickly jumped the road and cut a swath up the hillside toward more structures.

My mom and I visited in August based on a recommendation from a New Yorker and we fell in love. We made a reservation an hour before we came and when we arrived, the restaurant was packed yet we still got a table within 15 minutes. We ordered a half-order of calamari which was still a lot. We ordered stuffed ravioli which was delectable. The meal was amazing and great for a New York meal. It wasn't very expensive. I fell in love and I will return every time I make a trip to NY. Btw, we are from Atlanta.

Food was ok, but our waiter was very unfriendly. Wasn't even finished drinking my glass or he ripped it out of my hands. 1 minute later the bill was there (unasked). Clearly he worked us out , we had to go, make room for other people. A disgrace !

12/19/10 Had a reservation for 7:30...got there on time but given ultimatum either sit downstairs in the dingy basement or wait a half hour so we sat in a corner downstairs and waiter was scarce and inexperienced about food...was not offered cheese or fresh pepper for any of the dishes...food was brought out too fast and tasted like it was all right out of a can! The sauce on the Chicken Marsala looked like dishwater. Waiter or staff never even asked how is everything or later how was everything....gee I wonder why? Overall a BAD experience...good thing I loved the play I went to see! Never again....too bad Carmines was booked :(

Now everytime I think of chicken parm I think of Tony's. Absolutely the best.
Posted by 42 on 11/03/2010
An absolute Italian eating experience. The family style ordering is simply wonderful, and the portions are more than enough to curb your hunger. Superb selection of foods, if your in time square and are hungry for a great italian meal, then do yourself a favor and dine at Tony D's. You won't regret it.

The bean bag is filled with lightweight polyurethane beads which give a "soft pillow-like" comfort feel as the bag molds to the curves of the tops of your legs. The bag fabric is woven with 65% Polyester and 35% cotton threads. The bean bags are made from a variety of print fabrics - let us choose one for you, or call if you would like a description of what is currently available.
The greatest benefit is the detachability of the plastic dinner tray from the bean bag. The tray is secured with "hook and loop" closures and can be peeled off for washing and reattached in seconds.
The red color of the dinner tray is an added benefit for those with low vision or Alzheimer's. Studies have shown that Alzheimer's patients eat more when their meals are served on red dishes.
This would make a great gift for someone who enjoys eating in front of the television.
The tray measures 12" x 16."

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Shire plc (LSE: SHP, Nasdaq: SHPGY), the global specialty biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the prescription medication Vyvanse® (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) Capsules CII for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adolescents ages 13 to 17. The approval is based on study data demonstrating that Vyvanse improved ADHD symptoms compared to placebo in adolescents with ADHD. Vyvanse is also indicated for the treatment of ADHD in children ages 6 to 12 years, and adults.
"This adolescent indication for Vyvanse is good news for kids in this age group diagnosed with ADHD and their caregivers as it offers an additional treatment option to help them manage their symptoms," said Mike Yasick, Senior Vice President of Shire's ADHD Business. "The approval of Vyvanse for children and adults – and now for adolescents – underscores Shire's commitment to helping ADHD patients and their families."
The FDA's approval of Vyvanse in adolescents was based on results from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, four-week, forced-dose escalation study of adolescents who received one of three Vyvanse doses, 30, 50 and 70 mg/day, or a placebo. This study was conducted in 314 adolescents aged 13 to 17 who met DSM-IV-TR® criteria for ADHD. In this study, patients were randomized to a daily morning dose of Vyvanse (30 mg/day, 50 mg/day or 70 mg/day) or placebo for a total of four weeks of treatment. All subjects receiving Vyvanse were initiated on 30 mg for the first week of treatment. Subjects assigned to the 50 mg and 70 mg dose groups were escalated
