Serpentine Windows

[Curtis Cassel]

Astained glass window depicting a serpentine beast coiled around a tree that extends from the mouth of the legendary Green Man. You can find this window up on the second floor of the Defence Against Dark Arts Tower, over by a skeleton display - and reach it by heading down the stairs from the classroom Floo Flame.

Tell me rinpoche, sunim, cifu, Roshi, Shantideva or

Lord with your hand to witnessing earth,

What is one to do when mother was a snake

laying bare the nest to unlikely predators,

blind to healing and her polished secrets reflecting a veneer,

but no substitute for light?

When sad eyes disaffected nourished their

scared isolation at the expense of her writhing offspring.

When the thermometer stood as the imposter of affection?

Where do these serpentine pilgrims find their mothers?

As they writhe upon the face of the rocks

harvesting the skins of their molt to burn as smudges

into the rubbing ash

of their initiation upon charnel grounds.

When a sky of scavengers was laid bare

to her eggs as she busied herself

to a presence felt with an onus never witnessed

never substantiated,

or even a hint as obviated as the flesh and blood staring her in the face!

He was the horned one himself whose oats were never close

to the belt.

Scattering in the explosion like seeds in the dry and burning harvest,

who never looked inward as he wore his intelligence

upon the cusp of his erection.

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I sought out a car forum because I have a question that so far, nobody in my real life world has been able to answer. I was hoping someone here might be able to.

This happens every time now - as long as I turn the key in the ignition first as far as it will go without starting the motor and wait about 30 seconds, there is no squeal at all when I start the car. Today, I wondered what would happen if I turned on the aircon while driving to see if the squeal started up like it usually does. It did - one shriek that cut off after a second or so and afterwards it was silent. That has never happened since the squeal has been a problem.

I could be wrong, but OP said he had 2 belts. one wider one which I am guessing is a serpentine belt. if so he should have a tensioner which should adjust it to the correct tension. I am not familiar with his vehicle so he might have one that you have to manually adjust. but either way I think he should change the belt if it has been squealing, even though it is fairly new. a belt can wear quickly if it has been slipping.

Text description provided by the architects. The Serpentine Bookhouse is located amidst the greenery of trees along the Dasha River Ecological Corridor. To its west, the 13-kilometer scenic pathway of the Ecological Corridor runs continuously, and the north side is close to a children's park with enjoyable sand pits attracting many family visitors, while the east side is surrounded by dense residential communities. The newly added public building includes a children's reading room of 300 square meters and a public restroom open to park visitors 24/7, serving local residents and visitors starting in the fall of 2022.

The traditions and folklore of fishermen along the Dasha River inspired the architect with the design concept of a "spiral conch". The building performs like a rising spiral art sculpture, returning as much ground space as possible for plant growth and tourist activities. The end of the spiral volume faces the riverside park with an open balcony, providing visitors with a place to relax at the height of the treetops. Therefore, it is named "Serpentine Bookhouse" by the locals.

Following the exterior form of the building, the interior space presents itself as a series of stepped reading spaces winding around the trees in the atrium. At the same time, it offers a panoramic view of the park landscape through floor-to-ceiling windows. The stepped reading spaces with rich height differences provide an opportunity for children to explore and satisfy their natural curiosity and cultivate their interest in independent learning. The slide is open to children every day after school, which will add a fun and exciting dimension to the space.

In response to the hot climate in Shenzhen, continuous vertical grilles are installed as sunshade devices on the facade of the building, which also brings a changing light and shadow experience to the interior space over time. Operable windows are installed on each reading step, and on the second-floor balcony, sliding doors can be fully opened to ensure natural ventilation and to achieve satisfactory comfort in the autumn and winter seasons without using air conditioning.

The challenging structure of the building is achieved with a steel framework. The inner and outer circles use spiral Vierendeel trusses to determine the arc shape, and the large cantilever of the viewing balcony on the second floor is supported by oblique tension enforcement. All major structural components are shipped to the site for assembly after prefabrication in the factory, minimizing the disturbance of the site construction to the park and nearby residents' lives.

The Serpentine Bookhouse embodies the urban revitalization strategy that Shenzhen has been pursuing in recent years. In the goal of adding small-scale civic and cultural buildings to serve public life in the parks and public spaces, this strategy helps public projects land in a timely and accurate manner with a relatively small investment and relatively short construction time. With the joint efforts between design and construction teams, the Dasha River Serpentine Bookhouse project was completed and put into use in less than one year from design to construction. Since its opening, it regularly holds art exhibitions and reading clubs, thus becoming one of the favorite spots for urban dwellers and especially family visitors to escape from the stresses of urban life and to commune with nature and fellow cultural communities.

The Finckes were generous supporters of the Seminary. In addition to setting aside funds specifically for the installation of new stained glass windows in the chapel, the couple also provided gifts that established endowed professorships and scholarships for students.

The new stained glass windows offer a more complete display of Christ throughout the entirety of the chapel, culminating in the chancel window as our resurrected Savior takes central place in the worship space above the altar.

A stained glass design committee worked for two years in preparation for the new stained glass windows. The committee was composed of nine members: President Emeritus Dr. Dale A. Meyer, the Louis A. Fincke and Anna B. Shine Professor of Systematic Theology and former Dean of Chapel Dr. Kent Burreson, Chairman of the Practical Theology Department Dr. David Schmitt, former Dean of Theological Research and Publication Dr. Erik Herrmann, Seminary Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Michael Louis, Dean of Chapel Emeritus Dr. James Brauer, Dovetail Creations Artist Rev. Bill Matzat, Director of Campus Facilities Martin Hague and C&W Services Site Director Ray Allen.

The resurrected Christ is the subject of the central window, just as He is and remains the center of our worship and praise. The original chancel window, featuring Sts. Timothy and Titus, will be repurposed elsewhere on campus although the exact location has not yet been determined.

The past, present and future reality of preparing pastors, deaconesses, missionaries and other church leaders is interwoven as a thread throughout the windows providing a link to the mission of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis.

The stained glass captures this with 12 stars encircling the Star of David. The 12th star is different. Colored green instead of clear, it represents the tribe of Judah. The Lion of Judah points to the line of David.

In the next windows the story continues with the ministry of the prophets who point to Christ. Isaiah is depicted near the top of the windows as an angel purifies his lips with a coal from the altar of the Lord. Having been cleansed, Isaiah then writes upon a scroll and tells of the coming Savior.

The prophet in the bottom left is Elijah, who gestures toward the north nave windows, which depict the apostles and martyrs, on the other side of chapel. The river flows from the temple and the scroll ends in the manger as the Word that was prophesied becomes flesh.
