1Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
(εν Εφεσω). Near the sea on the river Cayster, the foremost city of Asia Minor, the temple-keeper of Artemis and her wonderful temple (), the home of the magic arts (Ephesian letters, ) and of the mystery-cults, place of Paul's three years' stay (), where Aquila and Priscilla and Apollos laboured (), where Timothy wrought (I and II Tim.), where the Apostle John preached in his old age. Surely it was a place of great privilege, of great preaching. It was about sixty miles from Patmos and the messenger would reach Ephesus first. It is a free city, a seat of proconsular government (), the end of the great road from the Euphrates. The port was a place of shifting sands, due to the silting up of the mouth of the Cayster. Ramsay (Letters to the Seven Churches, p. 210) calls it "the City of Change."
(ταδε). This demonstrative seven times here, once with the message to each church (), only once elsewhere in N.T. ().
(ο κρατων). Present active articular participle of κρατεω, a stronger word than εχων in , to which it refers.
(ο περιπατων). Present active articular participle of περιπατεω, an allusion to . These two epithets are drawn from the picture of Christ in , and appropriately to conditions in Ephesus describe Christ's power over the churches as he moves among them.
2I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
(οιδα). Rather than γινωσκω and so "emphasizes better the absolute clearness of mental vision which photographs all the facts of life as they pass" (Swete). So also in . For the distinction see , "where the universal knowledge passes into the field of special observation."
(εργα). The whole life and conduct as in .
(κα τον κοπον κα την υπομονην σου). "Both thy toil and patience," in explanation of εργα, and see , where all three words (εργον, κοποσ, υπομονη) occur together as here. See for sharp distinction between εργα (activities) and κοπο (toils, with weariness). Endurance (υπομονη) in hard toil (κοπος).
(κα οτ). Further explanation of κοπος (hard toil).
(ου δυνη). This Koine form for the Attic δυνασα (second person singular indicative middle) occurs also in .
(βαστασα). First aorist active infinitive of βασταζω, for which verb see . These evil men were indeed a heavy burden.
(κα επειρασας). First aorist active indicative of πειραζω, to test, a reference to a recent crisis when these Nicolaitans (verse ) were condemned. The present tenses (δυνηι, εχεις) indicate the continuance of this attitude. Cf. .
(τους λεγοντας εαυτους αποστολους). Perhaps itinerant missionaries of these Nicolaitans who posed as equal to or even superior to the original apostles, like the Judaizers so described by Paul (). Paul had foretold such false teachers (Gnostics), grievous wolves, in ; in sheep's clothing, Jesus had said ().
(κα ουκ εισιν). A parenthesis in Johannine style () for κα ουκ οντας to correspond to λεγοντας.
(κα ευρες). Second aorist active indicative of ευρισκω. Dropping back to the regular structure parallel with επειρασας.
(ψευδεις). Predicate accusative plural of ψευδης, self-deceived deceivers as in .
3And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
(εχεις). Continued possession of patience.
(εβαστασας). First aorist indicative of βασταζω, repeated reference to the crisis in verse .
(κα ου κεκοπιακες). Perfect active indicative of κοπιαω, old verb, to grow weary (), play on the word κοπος, late form in -ες, for the regular -ας (λελυκας). like αφηκες (verse ) and πεπτωκες (verse ). "Tired in loyalty, not of it. The Ephesian church can bear anything except the presence of impostors in her membership" (Moffatt).
4Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
(κατα σου οτ). For the phrase "have against" see . The οτ clause is the object of εχω.
(αφηκες). First aorist active (kappa aorist, but with -ες instead of -ας) of αφιημ, a definite and sad departure.
(την αγαπην σου την πρωτην). "Thy love the first." This early love, proof of the new life in Christ (), had cooled off in spite of their doctrinal purity. They had remained orthodox, but had become unloving partly because of the controversies with the Nicolaitans.
5Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
(μνημονευε). Present active imperative of μνημονευω, "continue mindful" (from μνημων).
(πεπτωκες). Perfect active indicative of πιπτω, state of completion. Down in the valley, look up to the cliff where pure love is and whence thou hast fallen down.
(κα μετανοησον). First aorist active imperative of μετανοεω, urgent appeal for instant change of attitude and conduct before it is too late.
(κα ποιησον). First aorist active imperative of ποιεω, "Do at once."
(τα πρωτα εργα). Including the first love () which has now grown cold ().
(ε δε μη). Elliptical condition, the verb not expressed (μετανοεις), a common idiom, seen again in verse , the condition expressed in full by εαν μη in this verse and verse .
(ερχομα). Futuristic present middle ().
(σο). Dative, as in also.
(κινησω). Future active of κινεω. In Ignatius' Epistle to Ephesus it appears that the church heeded this warning.
(εαν μη μετανοησηις). Condition of third class with εαν μη instead of ε μη above, with the first aorist active subjunctive of μετανοεω.
6But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
(οτ μισεις). Accusative object clause in apposition with τουτο (this). Trench tells of the words used in ancient Greek for hatred of evil (μισοπονηρια) and μισοπονηρος (hater of evil), neither of which occurs in the N.T., but which accurately describe the angel of the church in Ephesus.
(των Νικολαιτων). Mentioned again in verse and really meant in verse . Irenaeus and Hippolytus take this sect to be followers of Nicolaus of Antioch, one of the seven deacons (), a Jewish proselyte, who is said to have apostatized. There was such a sect in the second century (Tertullian), but whether descended from Nicolaus of Antioch is not certain, though possible (Lightfoot). It is even possible that the Balaamites of verse were a variety of this same sect (verse ).
(α καγω μισω). Christ himself hates the teachings and deeds of the Nicolaitans (α, not ους, deeds, not people), but the church in Pergamum tolerated them.
7圣灵向众教会所说的话,有耳的就应当听。得胜的,我必定把 神乐园里生命树的果子赐给他吃。'
7He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
(ο εχων ους). An individualizing note calling on each of the hearers () to listen () and a reminiscence of the words of Jesus in the Synoptics (), but not in John's Gospel.
(το πνευμα). The Holy Spirit as in . Both Christ and the Holy Spirit deliver this message. "The Spirit of Christ in the prophet is the interpreter of Christ's voice" (Swete).
(τω νικωντ). Dative of the present (continuous victory) active articular participle of νικαω, a common Johannine verb (). Faith is dominant in Paul, victory in John, faith is victory (). So in each promise to these churches.
(δωσω). Future active of διδωμ as in .
(φαγειν). Second aorist active infinitive of εσθιω.
(εκ του ξυλου της ζωης). Note εκ with the ablative with φαγειν, like our "eat of" (from or part of). From . Again in as here for immortality. This tree is now in the Garden of God. For the water of life see (Cf. ).
(ο). The ξυλον (tree).
(εν τω παραδεισω του θεου). Persian word, for which see . The abode of God and the home of the redeemed with Christ, not a mere intermediate state. It was originally a garden of delight and finally heaven itself (Trench), as here.
8And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
(εν Σμυρνη). North of Ephesus, on a gulf of the Aegean, one of the great cities of Asia (province), a seat of emperor-worship with temple to Tiberius, with many Jews hostile to Christianity who later join in the martyrdom of Polycarp, poor church (rich in grace) which receives only praise from Christ, scene of the recent massacre of Greeks by the Turks. Ramsay (op. cit., p. 251) terms Smyrna "the City of Life." Christianity has held on here better than in any city of Asia.
(ο πρωτος κα ο εσχατος). Repeating the language of .
(ος εγενετο νεκρος). Rather, "who became dead" (second aorist middle indicative of γινομα) as in .
(κα εζησεν). First aorist (ingressive, came to life) active of ζαω (ο ζων in ). Emphasis on the resurrection of Christ.
9I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
(σου την θλιψιν κα πτωχειαν). Separate articles of same gender, emphasizing each item. The tribulation was probably persecution, which helped to intensify the poverty of the Christians (). In contrast with the wealthy church in Laodicea ().
(αλλα πλουσιος ε). Parenthesis to show the spiritual riches of this church in contrast with the spiritual poverty in Laodicea (), this a rich poor church, that a poor rich church. Rich in grace toward God () and in good deeds (). Perhaps Jews and pagans had pillaged their property (), poor as they already were.
(βλασφημιαν). Reviling believers in Christ. See . The precise charge by these Jews is not indicated, but see .
(εκ των λεγοντων). "From those saying" (εκ with the ablative plural of the present active articular participle of λεγω).
(Ιουδαιους εινα εαυτους). This is the accusative of general reference and the infinitive in indirect discourse after λεγω () even though λεγοντων is here ablative (cf. ), common idiom. These are actual Jews and only Jews, not Christians.
(κα ουκ εισιν). Another parenthesis like that in . These are Jews in name only, not spiritual Jews ().
(συναγωγη του Σατανα). In again and note , serving the devil () instead of the Lord ().
10Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
(μη φοβου). As in . Worse things are about to come than poverty and blasphemy, perhaps prison and death, for the devil "is about to cast" (μελλε βαλλειν), "is going to cast."
(εξ υμων). Without τινας (some) before εξ υμων, a common idiom as in .
(ινα πειρασθητε). Purpose clause with ινα and the first aorist passive subjunctive of πειραζω. John himself is in exile. Peter and John had often been in prison together. James the brother of John, Paul, and Peter had all suffered martyrdom. In a general persecution is outlined by πειρασμος.
(εξετε). Future active, but some MSS. read εχητε (present active subjunctive with hina, "that ye may have").
(θλιψιν ημερων δεκα). "Tribulation of ten days" (or "within ten days"). It is unwise to seek a literal meaning for ten days. Even ten days of suffering might seem an eternity while they lasted.
(γινου πιστος). "Keep on becoming faithful" (present middle imperative of γινομα), "keep on proving faithful unto death" () as the martyrs have done (Jesus most of all).
(τον στεφανον της ζωης). See this very image in , a familiar metaphor in the games at Smyrna and elsewhere in which the prize was a garland. See also . The crown consists in life (). See Paul's use of στεφανος in .
11He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
(ου μη αδικηθη). Strong double negative with first aorist passive subjunctive of αδικεω, old verb, to act unjustly (from αδικος), here to do harm or wrong to one, old usage as in .
(εκ του θανατου του δευτερου). Εκ here used for the agent or instrument as often (). See where "the second death" is explained as "the lake of fire." The idea is present in and is current in Jewish circles as in the Jerusalem Targum on and in Philo. It is not annihilation. The Christians put to death in the persecution will at least escape this second death (eternal punishment).
12And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
(εν Περγαμω). In a north-easterly direction from Smyrna in the Caicus Valley, some fifty-five miles away, in Mysia, on a lofty hill, a great political and religious centre. Ramsay (Op. cit., p. 281) calls it "the royal city, the city of authority." Eumenes II (B.C. 197-159) extended it and embellished it with many great buildings, including a library with 200,000 volumes, second only to Alexandria. The Kingdom of Pergamum became a Roman province B.C. 130. Pliny termed it the most illustrious city of Asia. Parchment (χαρτα Περγαμενα) derived its name from Pergamum. It was a rival of Ephesus in the temples to Zeus, Athena, Dionysos, in the great grove Nicephorium (the glory of the city). Next to this was the grove and temple of Asklepios, the god of healing, called the god of Pergamum, with a university for medical study. Pergamum was the first city in Asia (A.D. 29) with a temple for the worship of Augustus (Octavius Caesar). Hence in the Apocalypse Pergamum is a very centre of emperor-worship "where Satan dwells" (). Here also the Nicolaitans flourished () as in Ephesus () and in Thyatira (). Like Ephesus this city is called temple-sweeper (νεωκορος) for the gods.
(την ρομφαιαν την διστομον την οξειαν). This item repeated from in the same order of words with the article three times (the sword the two-mouthed the sharp) singling out each point.
13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
(που--οπου). Που is interrogative adverb used here in an indirect question as in . Hοπου is relative adverb referring to που. Satan's throne (ο θρονος του Σατανα). Satan not simply resided in Pergamum, but his "throne" or seat of power of king or judge (). The symbol of Asklepios was the serpent as it is of Satan (). There was, besides, a great throne altar to Zeus cut on the Acropolis rock, symbol of "rampant paganism" (Swete) and the new Caesar-worship with the recent martyrdom of Antipas made Pergamum indeed a very throne of Satan.
(κρατεις το ονομα σου). Present active indicative of κρατεω, "dost keep on holding," as in . This church refused to say Κυριος Καισαρ (Martyrd. Polyc. 8f.) and continued to say Κυριος Ιησους (). They stood true against the emperor-worship.
(ουκ ηρνησω). First aorist middle second person singular of αρνεομα. Reference to a specific incident not known to us.
(την πιστιν μου). Objective genitive, "thy faith in me."
(Αντιπας). Indeclinable in this form. It is possible that Αντιπα (genitive) was really written, though unimportant as the nominative follows in apposition. Nothing is really known of this early martyr in Pergamum before the writing of the Apocalypse. One legend is that he was burnt to death in a brazen bull. Other martyrs followed him at Pergamum (Agathonice, Attalus, Carpus, Polybus).
(ο μαρτυς μου). Nominative in apposition with a genitive as in (with ablative), common solecism in the Apocalypse. "Witness" as Jesus had said they should be () and Stephen was () and others were (). The word later (by third century) took on the modern meaning of martyr.
(ο πιστος μου). Nominative also, with μου also. Jesus gives Antipas his own title (Swete) as in . Faithful unto death.
(απεκτανθη). First aorist passive indicative of αποκτεινω, this passive form common in the Apocalypse (?2:13; 6:11; 5:9,13; 13:10,15; 18, 20; 19:21?).
(παρ υμιν). By your side. Proof of the throne of Satan, "where Satan dwells" (οπου ο Σατανας κατοικε), repeated for emphasis.
14But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
(εκε). That is παρ' υμιν (among you). A party in the church that resisted emperor-worship, to the death in the case of Antipas, yet were caught in the insidious wiles of the Nicolaitans which the church in Ephesus withstood.
(κρατουντας). "Men holding" (present active participle of κρατεω).
(την διδαχην Βαλααμ). Indeclinable substantive Balaam (). The point of likeness of these heretics with Balaam is here explained.
(εδιδασκεν τω Βαλακ). Imperfect indicative of διδασκω, Balaam's habit, "as the prototype of all corrupt teachers" (Charles). These early Gnostics practised licentiousness as a principle since they were not under law, but under grace (). The use of the dative with διδασκω is a colloquialism rather than a Hebraism. Two accusatives often occur with διδασκω.
(βαλειν σκανδαλον). Second aorist active infinitive (accusative case after εδιδασκεν) of βαλλω, regular use with σκανδαλον (trap) like τιθημ σκανδαλον in . Balaam, as Josephus and Philo also say, showed Balak how to set a trap for the Israelites by beguiling them into the double sin of idolatry and fornication, which often went together (and do so still).
(φαγειν ειδωλοθυτα). Second aorist active infinitive of εσθιω and the verbal adjective (from ειδωλον and θυω), quoted here from , but in inverse order, repeated in other order in verse . See for the controversy over the temptation to Gentile Christians to do what in itself was harmless, but which led to evil if it led to participation in the pagan feasts. Perhaps both ideas are involved here. Balaam taught Balak how to lead the Israelites into sin in both ways.
15So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
(ουτως κα συ). Thou and the church at Pergamum as Israel had the wiles of Balaam.
(την διδαχην των Νικολαιτων ομοιως). See on for the Nicolaitans. The use of ομοιως (likewise) here shows that they followed Balaam in not obeying the decision of the Conference at Jerusalem () about idolatry and fornication, with the result that they encouraged a return to pagan laxity of morals (Swete). Some wrongly hold that these Nicolaitans were Pauline Christians in the face of .
16Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
(μετανοησον ουν). First aorist (tense of urgency) active imperative of μετανοεω with the inferential particle ουν (as a result of their sin).
(ερχομα). Futuristic present middle indicative, "I am coming" (imminent), as in with ταχυ as in . As with εν ταχε (), we do not know how soon "quickly" is meant to be understood. But it is a real threat.
(μετ' αυτων). This proposition with πολεμεω rather than κατα (against) is common in the LXX, but in the N.T. only in and the verb itself nowhere else in N.T. except . "An eternal roll of thunder from the throne" (Renan). "The glorified Christ is in this book a Warrior, who fights with the sharp sword of the word" (Swete).
(εν). Instrumental use of εν. For the language see .
17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
(του μαννα του κεκρυμμενου). "Of the manna the hidden" (perfect passive articular participle of κρυπτω). The partitive genitive, the only N.T. example with διδωμ, though Q reads το (accusative) here. For examples of the ablative with απο and εκ see Robertson, Grammar, p. 519. See for the indeclinable word μαννα. The golden pot of manna was "laid up before God in the ark" (). It was believed that Jeremiah hid the ark, before the destruction of Jerusalem, where it would not be discovered till Israel was restored (II Macc. 2:5ff.). Christ is the true bread from heaven () and that may be the idea here. Those faithful to Christ will have transcendent fellowship with him. Swete takes it to be "the life-sustaining power of the Sacred Humanity now hid with Christ in God."
(ψηφον λευκην). This old word for pebble (from ψαω, to rub) was used in courts of justice, black pebbles for condemning, white pebbles for acquitting. The only other use of the word in the N.T. is in , where Paul speaks of "depositing his pebble" (κατηνεγκα ψηφον) or casting his vote. The white stone with one's name on it was used to admit one to entertainments and also as an amulet or charm.
(ονομα καινον γεγραμμενον). Perfect passive predicate participle of γραφω. Not the man's own name, but that of Christ (Heitmuller, Im Namen Jsu, p. 128-265). See for the name of God so written on one. The man himself may be the ψηφος on which the new name is written. "The true Christian has a charmed life" (Moffatt).
(ε μη ο λαμβανων). "Except the one receiving it." See for like intimate and secret knowledge between the Father and the Son and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal the Father. See also .
18"你要写信给在推雅推拉教会的使者,说:' 神的儿子,那眼睛像火焰、两脚像光铜的,这样说:
18And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
(εν Θυατειροις). Some forty miles south-east of Pergamum, a Lydian city on the edge of Mysia, under Rome since B.C. 190, a centre of trade, especially for the royal purple, home of Lydia of Philippi (), shown by inscriptions to be full of trade guilds, Apollo the chief deity with no emperor-worship, centre of activity by the Nicolaitans with their idolatry and licentiousness under a "prophetess" who defied the church there. Ramsay calls it "Weakness Made Strong" (op. cit., p. 316).
(ο υιος του θεου). Here Jesus is represented as calling himself by this title as in and as he affirms on oath in . "The Word of God" occurs in .
(τους οφθαλμους αυτου ως φλογα πυρος). As in .
(ο ποδες αυτου ομοιο χαλκολιβανω). As in .
19I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
(σου τα εργα) . As in and explained (explanatory use of κα =namely) by what follows. Four items are given, with separate feminine article for each (την αγαπην, την πιστιν, την διακονιαν, την υπομονην), a longer list of graces than in for Ephesus. More praise is given in the case of Ephesus and Thyatira when blame follows than in the case of Smyrna and Philadelphia when no fault is found. Love comes first in this list in true Johannine fashion. Faith (πιστιν) here may be "faithfulness," and ministry (διακονιαν) is ministration to needs of others ().
(κα). Only κα (and) in the Greek, but doubtless οτ (that) is understood.
(των πρωτων). Ablative after the comparative πλειονα (more).
20Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
(αφεις). Late vernacular present active indicative second person singular as if from a form αφεω instead of the usual αφιημ forms.
(την γυναικα Ιεζαβελ). Symbolical name for some prominent woman in the church in Thyatira, like the infamous wife of Ahab who was guilty of whoredom and witchcraft () and who sought to drive out the worship of God from Israel. Some MSS. here (A Q 40 min.s) have σου (thy wife, thy woman Ramsay makes it), but surely Aleph C P rightly reject σου. Otherwise she is the pastor's wife!
(η λεγουσα εαυτην προφητιν). Nominative articular participle of λεγω in apposition with the accusative γυναικα like ο μαρτυς in apposition with Αντιπας in . Προφητις is an old word, feminine form for προφητης, in N.T. only here and (Anna), two extremes surely. See for the daughters of Philip who prophesied.
(κα διδασκε κα πλανα). A resolution of the participles (διδασκουσα κα πλανωσα) into finite verbs (present active indicatives) as in . This woman was not a real prophetess, but a false one with loud claims and loose living. One is puzzled to know how such a woman had so much shrewdness and sex-appeal as to lead astray the servants of God in that church. The church tolerated the Nicolaitans and this leader whose primary object was sexual immorality (Charles) and became too much involved with her to handle the heresy.
21And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
(εδωκα αυτη χρονον). First aorist active indicative of διδωμ, allusion to a definite visit or message of warning to this woman.
(ινα μετανοηση). Sub-final use of ινα with first aorist active subjunctive of μετανοεω.
(κα ου θελε). "And she is not willing." Blunt and final like .
(μετανοησα εκ). First aorist (ingressive) active infinitive with εκ, "to make a change out of," the usual construction with μετανοεω in this book (), with απο in . Πορνεια (fornication) here, but μοιχευω (to commit adultery) in verse .
22Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
(βαλλω). Futuristic present active indicative rather than the future βαλω, since judgment is imminent.
(εις κλινην). "A bed of sickness in contrast with the bed of adultery" (Beckwith).
(τους μοιχευοντας μετ' αυτης). Present active articular participle accusative plural of μοιχευω. The actual paramours of the woman Jezebel, guilty of both πορνεια (fornication, verse ) and μοιχεια (adultery), works of Jezebel of old and of this Jezebel. There may be also an allusion to the spiritual adultery () towards God and Christ as of old ().
(εαν μη μετανοησουσιν). Condition of first class with εαν μη and the future active indicative of μετανοεω, put in this vivid form rather than the aorist subjunctive (-ωσιν) third-class condition.
(εκ των εργων αυτης). Αυτης (her) correct rather than αυτων (their). Jezebel was chiefly responsible.
23And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
(αποκτενω εν θανατω). Future (volitive) active of αποκτεινω with the tautological (cognate) εν θανατω (in the sense of pestilence) as in .
(τα τεκνα αυτης). Either her actual children, like the fate of Ahab's sons () or "her spiritual progeny" (Swete) who have completely accepted her Nicolaitan practices.
(γνωσοντα). Future (ingressive punctiliar) middle of γινωσκω, "shall come to know." "The doom of the offenders was to be known as widely as the scandal had been" (Charles).
(εραυνων). Present active articular participle of εραυναω, to follow up, to track out, late form for ερευναω, from .
(νεφρους). Old word for kidneys, here only in N.T., quoted also with καρδιας from . See for the reward of punishment.
24But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
(υμιν τοις λοιποις). Dative case. Those who hold out against Jezebel, not necessarily a minority ().
(οσο). Inclusive of all "the rest."
(την διδαχην ταυτην). That of Jezebel.
(οιτινες). "Which very ones," generic of the class, explanatory definition as in .
(ουκ εγνωσαν). Second aorist (ingressive) active of γινωσκω, "did not come to know by experience."
(τα βαθεα του Σατανα). The Ophites (worshippers of the serpent) and other later Gnostics (Cainites, Carpocratians, Naassenes) boasted of their knowledge of "the deep things," some claiming this very language about Satan (the serpent) as Paul did of God (). It is not clear whether the words here quoted are a boast of the Nicolaitans or a reproach on the other Christians for not knowing the depths of sin. Some even claimed that they could indulge in immorality without sinning (). Perhaps both ideas are involved.
(ως λεγουσιν). Probably referring to the heretics who ridicule the piety of the other Christians.
(ου--αλλο βαρος). Βαρος refers to weight (), φορτιον, from φερω, to bear, refers to load (), ογκος to bulk (). Apparently a reference to the decision of the Jerusalem Conference () where the very word βαρος is used and mention is made about the two items in verse (fornication and idolatry) without mentioning the others about things strangled, etc. See the Pharisaic narrowness in .
25But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
(πλην). Common after ουκ αλλο as a preposition with the ablative (), but here a conjunction as in .
(κρατησατε). First aorist active imperative of κρατεω, either ingressive (get a grip on) or constative (hold on as a single decisive effort). See present imperative κρατε in (keep on holding).
(αχρ ου αν ηξω). Indefinite temporal clause with αχρ ου (until which time) with modal αν and either the future active indicative or the first aorist active subjunctive of ηκω (usual idiom with αχρ in Revelation as in ).
26And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
(ο νικων κα ο τηρων). Present active articular participles of νικαω and τηρεω in the nominative absolute (nominativus pendens) as in , resumed by the dative αυτω (to him), as in verses .

Wayne Rooney helps WWE
Whenever there are celebrities involved with professional wrestling, it is usually because of the potential mainstream media attention that they can attract. That proved to be the case for WWE this week when they had international soccer superstar Wayne Rooney doing a segment where he slapped Wade Barrett on Monday Night Raw. It drew the attention of ESPN, New York Daily News, CBS Sports, Sky News and many others.

Adam Rose sister dies
Some sad news to report on Adam Rose. His sister passed away this week. The WWE star has traveled to South Africa to be there for her funeral. It is the first time in five years that Rose has been in the country. Through social media, he posted a farewell to his beloved sibling. Rose also noted that his sister spent her life trying to help others fight their own demons. It is believed that she left behind a child.

Backstage heat on Lana
There is said to be some major backstage heat towards Lana right now because she revealed to the world that she was engaged to Rusev in real life. When TMZ picked up on the story, which was easily done since she had posted the bit of news on social media, it forced WWE to abruptly change up the story line that they had going for the Bulgarian Brute and Summer Rae. Management hates when they have to do that.

Batista gets married
In a surprising bit of news, Batista has revealed through social media that he has just gotten married to a woman named Sarah Jade. The move caught a lot of fans off guard because the former world heavyweight champion has done a good job of keeping the relationship private. The bride is a pole dancer down in Florida, and this is the third time that the former WWE star has been married in his life.

TNA making announcement
Once again, TNA is teasing a big announcement. Dixie Carter revealed through social media that she has some big news to share on Monday. Nothing has been confirmed at this point, but many are speculating that she could reveal the upcoming tour of India, where episodes of Impact Wrestling may be taped. As usual, the internet wrestling community will be expecting something much bigger, so they end up disappointed.

McMahon avoids Hogan
When he found out that TMZ was going to posting a controversial video on him, Hulk Hogan immediately called WWE to inform them of the situation. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that Vince McMahon never even bothered to talk to him during the entire ordeal. Hogan stated that Triple H was the one that kept in touch with him. HHH was also the one that gave Hogan the bad news about their business separation.

Laurinaitis dating Bella mom
In a rather strange twist of events, John Laurinaitis is now engaged to be married to Kathy Colace, who happens to be the mother of Brie Bella and Nikki Bella. The two of them revealed the news via social media by posting a photo of themselves at a celebration dinner with John Cena and Nikki. No word yet on whether or not Brie and Daniel Bryan were in attendance, as the two of them did not appear in any of the photos.
September 3, 2015
Madison Rayne gets married
In a rather surprising bit of news, Madison Rayne is now married. Her husband is none other than TNA commentator Josh Mathews. Not a lot of fans were even aware that the two of them were involved in a relationship. The company sent out an official congratulations message via social media. The internet wrestling community is praising Mathews for being able to score such a beautiful lady.
September 2, 2015
Junkyard Dog induction
When word broke that Junkyard Dog had been abusing cocaine shortly before his death in a car accident, there were some that wondered if WWE was going to be doing anything about it since he is in their hall of fame. Management is going to leave things alone since the induction took place more than a decade ago. Plus, this particular bit of news has not circulated through the media much.
August 16, 2015
Dixie Carter denies rumors
News broke out earier this week that James Storm and Brutus Magnus were both leaving TNA. Now, there is a bit confusion, as Dixie Carter has stated on social media that both guys will still be working with the company. This should add further fuel to the fire that there is some sort of invasion story line being planned with GFW.

Malema to lead EFF protest marchComment on this story
Johannesburg - EFF members gathered in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, on Tuesday, for a protest march over a ban on wearing their red overalls in the Gauteng legislature.
Dressed in red Economic Freedom Fighters' T-shirts and berets, they sang liberation songs as they alighted from buses.
Others ran up and down Rissik Street holding a banner and posters promoting the party's first anniversary.
Johannesburg metro police said traffic along Rissik and De Villiers streets would be affected by the march.
Party leader Julius Malema was expected to lead the march to the Gauteng legislature to protest over the ejection of EFF members of the provincial legislature (MPLs) for wearing overalls during a sitting on Tuesday, July 1.
Gauteng speaker Ntombi Mekgwe ordered seven EFF MPLs to leave the chamber for wearing red overalls with the word "Asijiki" (we will not go back) inscribed on the back.
The party's representatives wore red overalls, hard hats, and domestic workers' outfits to the opening of Parliament on Tuesday, June 17, without problems in that case. - Sapa

Hi gang,The poster/brochure/schedule is back from the printers. You will find both sides attached. Kathy Fors did a lovely job. Thank you Kathy. 750 were printed. I'd like for every participant to get one (and please just take one for yourself). I'm assuming that over the full weekend we'll probably have around 250-300 participants involved in the various events.If you are signed up on this site and are a participant and if you are outside the region so that you are unable to pick one up ... please send in your address to me and I will see that you are mailed one.

More vocal tracks looking for musicians.
these are audio tracks which have gone out for additional material to be added by musicians and audio artists ... unavailable until festival when they will be aired.
Hi folks,I had originally listed the final deadline for all material to be submitted by Friday the 15th.I HAVE REVISED THAT DEADLINE TO WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20TH AT 5:00pThis doesn't include the large items, like plays, WHICH ARE ALREADY SCHEDULED.This is for the small 1 & 2 & 10 etc. minute pieces which I will need to get consolidated onto discs for the air-room and also to get onto a master play list to make sure that everything gets scheduled to play. I'll need some time to do that and have given myself the smallest amount of time I estimate I'll probably need, in the process giving you folks 5 more days. BUT THAT'S IT!!!ALSO:
Hi Richard, (You can send this out on the dada list) I'll be recording Sept. Ubu Hour on Thurs 8/14 at Noon at 7pm but if anyone wants to bring in some not-too-long pieces to record for the Dada/Surrealism Festival that call for multiple voices, that would be really good ...
original message:
Hi everyone ... hope summer is going well ... We're going to be doing recording for the next Ubu Hour next Thurs Aug 14 at Noon and 7pm, so come by one or the other of those times
(also may be recording stuff for the dada fest coming up at the end of this month ...)

FM is offering this free shipping with orders over $75. So naturally I loaded up my cart. But I don't "want" to buy any fabric (as in I DO! but I don't Need to!).
I am wondering if any U.S. folks (the closer to MN the better - for shipping) who are placing an order would buy 4 yards of this fabric for me, and mail it to me.
It's just what I had in mind for my Christmas pj gift.

Sorry, I'm not in MN, but that fabric looks heavenly! I'm trying to stay away from their offer, but it's difficult

Premier Colin Barnett and Fisheries Minister Norman Moore have announced a $6.85 million package of new shark mitigation strategies aimed at reducing the risk of shark attacks against Western Australian beachgoers.
Department of Fisheries WA logo
The following statement was issued jointly by the Premier and the Minister for Fisheries
- $6.85m over four years for shark mitigation, education and research
- New service to track, catch and retrieve sharks posing an imminent threat
Mr. Barnett said the new measures were the result of extensive consultation and research and followed an unprecedented five fatal shark attacks within 12 months.
The measures include:
- $2million for a new service to allow the Department of Fisheries to track, catch and, if necessary, destroy sharks identified in close proximity to beachgoers, including setting drum lines if a danger is posed.
- $200,000 for a feasibility study and trial of a shark enclosure in conjunction with local government.
- $2million to continue shark tagging programs, including the use of real-time GPS tracking systems.
- $2million over four years for an applied research fund, overseen by the Chief Scientist.
- $500,000 for Surf Lifesaving WA to purchase jet skis to bolster beach safety.
- $150,000 for additional community awareness programs, including a smartphone app.
The new funding is on top of the $13.65million shark mitigation package announced by the State Government last year.
'These new measures will not only help us to understand the behaviour of sharks but also offer beachgoers greater protection and confidence as we head into summer,' the Premier said.
Mr. Moore said the State Government had reviewed the circumstances under which an order may be given to take a white shark posing an imminent threat.
'Previously the orders were used in response to an attack, but now proactive action will be taken if a large white shark presents imminent threat to people,' Mr. Moore said.
The announcement comes as Surf Lifesaving WA's upgraded helicopter returns to the skies for weekend beach patrols. It will fly daily from September 29 until April 30 next year.
The State Government has committed $2.4million a year over the next four years towards Surf Lifesaving WA's helicopter and beach patrols program. There will be patrols over metropolitan beaches for 221 days of the year, and daily flights by the South-West beach safety helicopter from November 19 to February 3.
Fact File:
- All shark sightings should be reported to WA Water Police on 9442 8600
- More info about Govt's shark hazard mitigation program is available here

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- People on trial for domestic abuse may soon be forced to wear a GPS tracking device. The device would send location and movement information back to the victims, letting them know if they were in danger.
Amy Dillworth of the Knoxville Family Justice Center explained, "In really dangerous situations, this could be a wonderful way for victims to monitor their own safety."
"They would then know, 'OK my abuser is close-by, my abuser is getting near, I can call 911, I can get help now'," she added.
Russ Jensen of the Coalition on Family Violence pointed out, "We think this is going to save a lot of lives in the state of Tennessee. And quite frankly, if it only saves one; it's worth it."
Local domestic abuse advocates have been pushing new for laws to prevent violent situations and impose stricter penalties when they occur. One of those laws makes strangulation a felony instead of a misdemeanor.
Each county will have to decide which agency will enforce the GPS law. Regardless, defendants will have to pay for it if they're ordered to wear it.

After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Georgetown University in 2009, I worked as a nanny for 3-year-old twins. Later I worked as a Program Associate on behalf of migration and refugee children at the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and continued to babysit for several families throughout the Georgetown neighborhood in Washington, DC.
I recently moved to Los Angeles to pursue a master's degree in public health from UCLA. I'm actively pursuing babysitting jobs in west LA. Until late September, I'm free anytime, any day. Once classes start, I am free on Thursdays, weekday evenings and on the weekends.
Let me know if you're interesting in arranging a meeting or interview!

What a wonderful experience!
by LittleLady , 10/26/2011
When we first saw Wilson's we thought it was small, boy were we wrong! It's huge. My husband was impressed with the sales people, not pushy but very knowledgeable about their products. Our purchase (we got a great deal!) was delivered within the week. From beginning to end the service was top knotch. I tell all my friends to buy their furniture at Wilson's because I know they will get the same treatment I did.
False Advertizing???
by bojotyco , 12/15/2010
Look up the manufactures prices and I also recommend comparing prices at other furniture stores carrying the same product. Either Wilson's of Redmond is overpriced to begin with or they are misleading the public as to offering a genuine sale. Their sale prices are often higher than other furniture stores regular prices.·
The Best
by Furniture Shopper , 03/19/2010
We were so surprised when we walked into the store. Not only did they help us furnish our whole house, they had some awesome deals. I just couldn't believe how great the service was. Delivery was within a day and it was free. Thank you to everybody there.
second to none
by Happy land lord , 03/05/2009
We have purchased many items over the years from Wilsons of Redmond, and have seen many other people who have purchased items from them One friend said the delivery guys got her carpet dirty with a few foot prints and they had it cleaned the whole room the next day. Honestly mistakes happen, but to have it taken care of immediately is a standard that is hard to find We and everyone I have encountered have simply had no problems ...ever we are very happy they are in our communityCustomer service is no joke I give them an A plus

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is famous for minding his own business, both during the years he was creating literary bombshells inside the Soviet Union as well as during his 18 years of exile in the United States. Since his return to Russia in 1994, the man whose pen proved mightier than the Soviet Union has done what he has always done, concentrated on his work and fended off intruders. Legions of would-be interviewers, especially those from the West, failed to gain access, no matter how impeccable their credentials. But a few years after his return home, the Nobel prizewinner opened his doors to Joseph Pearce, an Englishman whose previous works included biographies of G.K. Chesterton and J.R.R. Tolkien. The result of the interviews, Solzhenitsyn: A Soul in Exile, shows the Russian icon chose his man wisely. Pearce's passion is Solzhenitsyn's passion, what the Russian has described as the "universal and eternal questions." In addition to the insights he provides into Solzhenitsyn's work, Pearce, an agnostic turned Catholic, asks questions that secular interviewers are more comfortable avoiding (if they occur to them at all) and Solzhenitsyn answers.
Having whetted the appetite with Pearce's book, the thoughtful giver would naturally want to include a book by the master himself. But there are so many. What is a busy Christmas shopper to do? Answer: The recently published The Solzhenitsyn Reader: New and Essential Writings, 1947-2005. In one splendid volume, Edward E. Ericson Jr. and Daniel J. Mahoney have collected selections from Solzhenitsyn's poems, short stories, memoirs (The Oak and the Calf), novels (The First Circle and Cancer Ward), and other works, such as the earthshaking Gulag Archipelago. Also included are many of his essays and speeches, some famous (including his Nobel acceptance speech) and others little known, such as one he gave in Liechtenstein in 1993 in which he paid tribute to the tiny country's World War II leader, Prince Franz Joseph II, for providing what Solzhenitsyn called a "lesson in courage." At the end of the war British and American officials agreed with Stalin to repatriate hundreds of thousands of anti-Communist Russians, Ukrainians, and other Soviet-bloc refugees who wrongly believed they had found safety in the West. But Franz Joseph refused to comply, thereby saving the detachment of Russian anti-Communists in his country from what awaited hundreds of thousands of others on their forced return to the Soviet Union: outright execution or slow death in a concentration camp. At the time of Solzhenitsyn's speech close to 50 years had elapsed since the repatriations. But he remembered and paid homage. That this towering figure, 89 this month, is still among us is another reason for joy this Christmas.
And what will the children do while the adults are immersed in Solzhenitsyn? The ones Santa really likes will be savoring The Saga of Erik the Viking, the spellbinding story of a brave Viking who sets off with his brave crew to find where the sun goes at night. They find it, but what heart-stopping adventures they have on the way, facing the evilly seductive Old Man of the Sea, the terrifying Dogfighters, and the wicked Enchantress of the Fjord, to name just a few. Author Terry Jones is probably best known as a member of Monty Python, but in a better world he would be more renowned for his children's stories, especially The Saga of Erik the Viking. The book is best in hardcover because that version does more justice to the spectacular illustrations of Michael Foreman. Warning: Several years after Erik was published, Jones wrote and directed a dreadful movie called Erik the Viking that was aimed at an older audience. It failed miserably, while the book is an utter triumph.

If you live for classical music, you must not die before reading Hector Berlioz's Memoirs. (The Memoirs of Hector Berlioz, translated and edited by David Cairns; Everyman's Library, 2002.) They are a thrilling expression of artistic passion and a fascinating chronicle of 19th-century European musical life. Not wild about Berlioz's music? It doesn't matter. Berlioz's gifts as a prose stylist are so endearing as to make one's opinion of his musical voice irrelevant. Had he never written a note, this book would have earned him a place among Europe's great Romantic spirits.
Rarely has the experience of great art been more eloquently conveyed. On first hearing Shakespeare, for example: "The lightning flash of that sublime discovery opened before me at a stroke the whole heaven of art, illuminating it to its remotest depths. I saw, I understood, I felt... that I was alive and that I must arise and walk."
Such joyous enthusiasms -- for Beethoven, Christoph Willibald Gluck, and others -- make the Memoirs a delight to read. But their most unexpected effect is to reveal that we are living today in the golden age of performance -- despite the death of classical-music composition -- thanks to reforms championed by Berlioz himself. Berlioz fought relentlessly against the shameless mauling of scores by publishers, conductors, and performers. His lacerating description of the "fixes" imposed on The Magic Flute is hilarious -- but also terrifying. We, too, might never have heard Mozart's genius uncorrupted had publishers and performers continued the desecrations that Berlioz so decried.
Equally revelatory are his witty accounts of his conducting tours through Europe. While Berlioz met musicians of the highest artistry (especially in Germany), he also found mediocrity and unprofessionalism that today would be unthinkable in even provincial orchestras. He advises conductors to learn to read scores, and composers and conductors to learn the range of each instrument -- skills that are now routine, thanks, again, in part to Berlioz's influence.
It is fascinating to see how much the musical canon has changed -- few today know the operas of Gaspare Spontini, whom Berlioz ranked uncontroversially in a triumvirate of great modern masters, along with Beethoven... and Weber! But what has not changed is the ecstasy produced by great music. This book expresses that ecstasy with unparalleled power.

None of the books consumed by this reader in 2007 was as powerful or eye-opening as Dominika Dery's childhood memoir, The Twelve Little Cakes. She provides a first-hand account of growing up under a Communist regime that even the sympathetic Ronald Reagan couldn't come close to describe when he set out to tear down the wall. One reviewer noted that the book reads almost like a fairy tale, "replete with a menacing dragon of sorts," except in this case the dragon is the Communist fist that controlled Prague during the 1970s and 1980s.
Making matters worse for Dominika and her struggling parents was the fact that the child's grandparents did not only support the Communist regime, they were its top lieutenants and enforcers -- even when it meant confronting family. By far the most emotionally gripping scene of many is when Dominika comes face-to-face with her grandfather, a renowned Czech surgeon, which in itself would have ripped apart the Iron Curtain had it somehow played out for all the world to see three decades ago.
Amazingly, Dominika was born in Prague in 1975, the same year Tiger Woods was born.

Americans are blessed with short and shallow political memories -- unlike, say, the Serbs and the Albanians. But this has its downsides, as a handful of self-appointed "historians" have been allowed to create our memories. Arthur Schlesinger's 1949 The Vital Center explained the Depression and the New Deal. Later, his 1965 A Thousand Days congealed the myth of Camelot.
The antidote to these two myths, central to the power of the modern Democrat party, is only now at hand.
The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression by Amity Shlaes will forever change how America understands the causes of the Depression and FDR's policies that prolonged it for a decade. The title alone is worth the price of admission: FDR used the phrase to suggest the average American had been forgotten by the government that should take control of his life to "help" him. He stole the phrase from Yale philosopher William Graham Sumner, who first used it to describe the person forgotten when the government plays philanthropist or social reformer -- the taxpayer forced to pay the bill.
It was not until the 1980s that conservative book writers rallied in time to accurately portray a decade, in this case the times and presidency of Ronald Reagan.
Martin Anderson's 1988 Revolution, Bruce Bartlett's 1983 The Supply-Side Solution, and Kiron K. Skinner, Annelise Anderson, and Martin Anderson's 2001 Reagan, In His Own Hand: The Writings of Ronald Reagan That Reveal His Revolutionary Vision for America put the nail in the coffin on the efforts of the left to claim Reagan was "sleepwalking through history" as "an amiable dunce." Peter Schweizer's definitive work, Victory: The Reagan Administration's Secret Strategy that Hastened the Collapse of Soviet Union, outlined how Reagan deliberately set about destroying the Soviet Empire.
Conservatives understandably focus on criticizing government for doing poorly what it ought not to do at all: running health care or playing philanthropist with other people's money. But there are some things a constitutional republic should do. A new book highlighting the damage done by one spy, Jonathan Pollard, reminds us that we would do well to focus as much on getting government to do its limited legitimate functions well (the ones mentioned in the Constitution) as we do trying to cull back the sprawling and destructive, metastasized powers of the State.
Special Agent Ronald J. Olive was the counterintelligence officer who broke the case and has now written the sadly true story, Capturing Jonathan Pollard. (The book had a chilling resonance for this writer as Pollard was a drinking buddy.) Pollard should have been fired several times and was instead awarded security clearances despite every warning that he was not stable. It is truly frightening how this flawed character got into a position in Naval Intelligence to sift through our nation's most sensitive secrets -- in departments and agencies across the government -- and cart them out to be photocopied by Israeli government agents. In 18 months, Pollard, aided by his wife, carried out and gave Israel enough stolen material that would stand six feet by six feet by ten feet solid -- more than one million pages of secrets. (While the Israelis got most of the goodies, he gave or sold classified material to more than a dozen foreign individuals or countries.)
Pollard was caught by a fluke when a concerned fellow worker saw him walk out of the office with classified documents that were never to leave the building and he reluctantly reported this to his superiors. Once alerted, counter intelligence worked well and quickly and Pollard is serving a well-deserved life sentence. But where were they on the front end? If the government weren't busy running a national Endowment for the Arts, it might be able to focus on keeping our nation's secrets and capturing spies earlier in their careers.

How long is that video card from front to back?
how bout this configuration:
Not sure if your psu would fit vertically or horizontally.
How long is that video card from front to back?
It should be about 11inches, or 10.5 minus the screw tab.
WOW u are talking a lot of power to run that card... a bit overkill for a carpc no?
2002 Mitsubishi Galant
Progress: 90% [-▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓- ->
Carputer Specs:
Via M10K
512mb Ram
Souund Blaster Audigy2 NX
OPUS ITX PC Case
Yeah, that card takes TWO PCI-E power cords to power it.
I doubt you'll find a single DC-DC power supply that would have enough juice for it... maybe if you bought 2 of them and daisy chained them together.. but still.
I honestly think that's overkill - that kind of video card should be used in a desktop, with a 24" widescreen LCD.. matter of fact, send it to me, and I'll make sure it gets used properly. ;-)
The 8800 card is about 1/2" longer than what will fit in the case, and I think you'd have serious problems trying to supply it with enough power.
The 7950, however, would fit fine, and if it only has one PCI-E power connector, you should be fine as far as power goes.
And honestly, at low resolutions there won't be a difference between the two.
Aww, forget about the card guys what about the configuration? wouldn't it make the width and the height smaller? is there limitations on the length, it can only be 10 inches? if not would the placement of the hdd's work that way, and will your PSU work under the PCI cards Giuliano?
I'm sure it would fit under the PCI cards.. I'll play around with the idea over the next few days and see what works in terms of cable routing and such.
The idea has some merit to it..
Previous 2:
10" deep, 16" wide, 5.25" tall (3U)
Previous 1:
11" deep, 14" wide, 5.25" tall.
The 11" in depth should allow that monstrous 8800 to fit.. and it's possible that you might be able to power it.
The real indication would be how much current (amps) it needs at 12V on its two PCI-E connectors.
I might make the case 12" x 14", to give a little room around the sides of the 3.5" disks.
The disks' connectors face each other, which should make the SATA power and data cables simpler.. the connectors would be staggered.
14" x 12", Top View:
14 x 12 seems to work pretty well..
I'm thinking I might be able to reduce the height from 5.25" (3U) down to 3.5" (2U) and still retain functionality.
sweet! can you rotate the 3.5's on the left side like they were before facing front to back.
would there be room, sliding the psu towards the back? then the 2-drives on the right could slide over making the width more smaller?
You mean like this?
14" wide by 12" deep is probably as small as it's going to get in the footprint size.
The extra 2" of space over to the right could be shrunk MAYBE by an inch, but to be honest I'm reserving that area on the back plate for all the extra connectors.. like the extra USB ports, 1394, etc.. you need a little room there.

Clean Nismo skin!

Thought I'd update this thread since i changed a lot of things lately.. After 2.5 years with the CarPC the computer started to freeze up and crash all the time.. and something was up with the GPS receiver too.. taking 30 mins to lock sometimes never locking.. bad bad bad.. CarPC became unreliable and useless..
so infusion of new parts:
250W OPUS power supply replaces a 90W OPUS
GlobalSat BU353 GPS mouse replaces Holux GR213
1GB of Mushkin memory replaces 512meg "generic" memory
80GB 2.5" laptop HD replaces old 80GB desktop drive (crashed)
80GB 2.5" laptop HD replaces old 30GB laptop boot drive
added D-Link DIR-450 3g router
added Sprint PC-5740 1xEV-DO pcmcia card
I also reinstalled Windows and replaced MediaCar with RoadRunner, Digimoto 4.03, iGuidance 3.0.. yada yada..
CarPC is soo happy now and so am I.. It's a little faster, no more crashes!, GPS locks within 1 min on cold start.. 1 sec on warm or hot start.
where i installed the router
back of router
yay it all works!
that is sweet!! i've used my 3" harddrive for 2 years now on a slammed car...no problems...I believe the trick is mounting the drives vertically...
nice upgrade, I'm about due for one myself...I think going core2duo would be overkill, but why not...=)

I'm trying to decided what i should do after i gather all my parts together. Windows is great for a home computer but for a carputer I'm concern about what software will make the carputer functional?
Windows XP Professional with IE7
Road Runner front end with a modded skin that I ported over from MediaCar.. this also requires you to have WinAMP 2.95

Hannah Sevian
The Sevian Research Group studies how students develop conceptual understanding of chemistry and how research-based instruction and materials impact student learning, particularly in chemistry; how scientists and science teachers can communicate science more effectively; and how to improve the pipeline for students in K-12 and higher education, particularly in urban schools, to remain in science career pathways.
Bela Torok
Green chemistry projects in Prof. Torok's research group are focused on the development of environmentally benign synthetic methods for the preparation of fine chemicals and compounds of medicinal interests. The major directions include the application of catalysis and unusual activation methods. Within these areas we concentrate on (i) solid acid catalysis (ii) metal-catalyzed enantioselective heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenations, (iii) microwave-assisted synthesis and (iv) asymmetric organocatalysis.

Marianna Torok
The researchers in Prof. Torok's group focus on understanding the driving force, mechanism and control of the self-assembly of amyloid peptides. From the perspective of green chemistry, we would like to learn more on the environmental factors affecting this process, and how these results can be translated into biomedical and material science applications. We are also interested in finding alternative environmentally benign (green) methods for the synthesis of peptides and peptide-based biomaterials.
