SeARCH won a limited competition to design the new synagogue for the progressive Jewish congregation in Amsterdam. With 800 seats, it is the largest in the Netherlands. The building would ask for its own architectural identity where typically, ceremonial traditions and rituals present few recognizable reference points in a synagogue’s physical expression. The positioning of the benches opposite each other and parallel to the axis between the Bimah (preaching seat) and the Ark (depository for the Torah rolls), and the use of bright daylight are the most important starting points for the design process. Highly symbolic gestures integrated within and on the building facade reflect the beliefs central to Judaism. To provide an intimate sense of place for the new synagogue, SeARCH created a small island on which to situate the new building. Located in a park in Amsterdam South, the four-story building can be flexibly adapted for smaller weekly services as well as high holy services. The building’s shape is a reference to the orthogonal layout of the first temple, the Temple of Salomon. The hollowing out of this mass, to form the ‘emptiness’ of the great ceremonial hall, or Shul, also lends the building its identity.A symbol of the burning bush discovered by Moses on Mount Sinai, the Menorah is the oldest and most revered symbol of Judaism. Two openings cut in the shape of the menorah at either end of the building further strengthen the synagogue's identity while marking the direction toward Jerusalem. Drawing natural light indoors and emanating light from within, these large forms impact the arrangement of space within the Shul. Four balconies extend between each of the seven branches, further defining and highlighting the Menorah’s importance. A mikveh has been created within the prayer house; the small, tiled room, women and men participate in a ritual purification bath "living water", a mixture of tap water and rainwater. As a reminder to the Jews coming to server God, a mezuzah is placed at every doorway with a piece of parchment on which a portion from the Torah is written.A mixed program of worship, community, classroom, library and office spaces make up the new synagogue, which uses both new materials and ones salvaged from the synagogue that previously housed the liberal congregation.

Geek stuff! 2.4 gHz quad core server w/ 4Gb RAM, 4-750gb SATA drives RAID 5 and 2-80gb drives RAID1 for the OS, dual port server NIC with onboard NIC to handle our 6 VLANS and 650 watt power supply. I can finally retire our three 10+ year old Novell servers and now hum along with 2 terrabytes of storage. Abnd yep, that's a trusty trident 9685 PCI vga adapter.
Sun server rack for rackmount Solaris computers and RAID systems. XRackPro2 Sun server rack holds computer, storage and network equipment. The Sun Microsystems server rack mount enclosure cabinet from GizMac reduces noise and filters air.
GizMac's XRackPro2 server rack for Sun server and storage systems equipment has many additional features as well. Sun rack also filters air, is secure and mobile.
A quick shot of my new server rack. So far it just houses a dedicated firewall PC, a 1U server for web/mail/ftp, a 1U server for databases, a 1U 1TB NAS unit for backup/file storage, a 2000VA UPS, a cable modem, a router. and a 26 port switch.

Altar servers called to bring 'beauty and grace' to liturgy

It’s like being a junior priest. That’s how 11-year-old Timothy Ruane described life as an altar server.
Ruane, who serves at three Valley parishes, joined more than 60 servers — including boys, girls, teenagers and some men — at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral Nov. 1. That’s where Fr. Rob Clements, rector of the cathedral, offered a special Mass in honor of diocesan altar servers.
They hailed from at least eight different parishes and as far away as Flagstaff. Some dressed in traditional church attire, others in their parish T-shirts and still others in their albs.
Eighteen altar servers helped Fr. Clements and Fr. Jeff Harvey, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Parish, during the Mass.
“It’s a real privilege to serve God in this way and it’s also a real honor to carry the cross,” 11-year-old Ailan Samuels said of the ministry. He made the pilgrimage to the cathedral from San Francisco de Asís Parish in Flagstaff.
