Cincinnati's Historic Conservation Helps Balance Development & Historic Conservation Needs
In an effort to re-energize the Cincinnati Historic Conservation Board, City Council today confirmed new members to the seven-member board. Last year, City Council voted to restructure the Historic Conservation Board with staggered, consistent term lengths of three years per term. The Administration recommended the appointment of five new members and the reappointment of one current board member to its Historic Conservation Board.
"I would like to recognize John Senhauser, the current Board Chair and the outgoing members for their many years of dedicated service," said City Manager Milton Dohoney, Jr. "Multiple community voices on citizen-led boards is healthy and allows us to create an even stronger government. These new board members will certainly enable economic growth to co-exist alongside our historic conservation goals and objectives."
Members presented by the City Administration to be considered for the Historic Conservation Board include:
- Reappointment of Judith Spraul-Schmidt to the Historic Conservation Board as Board Chair. Dr. Spraul-Schmidt is an Adjunct Associate Professor of History at the University of Cincinnati, Blue Ash College campus. Her three-year term is effective from June 24, 2013 to June 23, 2016. Dr. Spraul-Schmidt resides in Cincinnati.
- Patricia Bittner, a licensed architect with Elm Street Town Homes with extensive experience in restoring historic properties will serve as the Board's urban design professional. Ms. Bittner will serve a two-year term from June 24, 2013 to June 23, 2014. She resides in Cincinnati.
- Mike Burson, an architect and CEO of Facility Management and Planning Services and the former Director of Facilities for Cincinnati Public Schools will serve as the Board's architect. Mr. Burson will serve a three-year term from June 24, 2013 to June 23, 2016. He resides in Cincinnati.
- Judi Craig, Vice President at Parsons Brinkerhoff with extensive experience in project management in transportation planning and community issues in our area will serve as the Board's urban planner. Ms. Craig will serve a three-year term from June 24, 2013 to June 23, 2016. She resides in Cincinnati.
- Jameson Muth, Transaction Manager with CBRE Global Corporate Services will serve in the area of real estate development. Mr. Muth will serve a one-year term from June 24, 2013 to June 23, 2014. He resides in Cincinnati.
- David Zelman, an architect and project director with FRCH Design Worldwide will serve in the Board as a historic preservationist. Mr. Zelman will serve a two-year term from June 24, 2013 to June 23, 2015. He resides in Cincinnati.
"We are excited for our new Historic Conservation Board members and look forward to working with so many distinguished planning and architect professionals who will represent the Board in their areas of expertise," said Planning Director Charles Graves.
The new members were confirmed by a vote of Council at today's City Council Meeting. The Administration's recommendation for new members of the Zoning Board of Appeals will go before Council within the next several months.

Woody Johnson, Jared Kushner and a Haute New Hollywood Handbag Designer
Since so many media mavens and talking heads have headed to the West Coast for Oscar week, my lunch today with designer Michelle Vale was particularly timely. Just a few days ago, Michelle sent off several of her handbags to LaLa land in hopes that a certain Best Actress nominee will walk down the red carpet carrying one of her creations come Sunday night. If the actress, whose name for the moment is top secret ("But she's a big Oscar person!") utters Michelle's name when she is asked the million dollar question of the night — "Who are you wearing?" — by E!'s Giuliana Rancic, that could mean very big things for the designer. "You never know what's going to happen," Michelle told me. "An actress can pick a dress and change her mind at the last minute. She can look in her suitcase and pick up something else. I won't know until I see her on television."
No stranger to the celebrity scene, Michelle's collection of sophisticated, versatile designs that allow women to customize their bags by selecting a variety of different hardware and straps — all made right her in New York City — have been worn by Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, Kate Bosworth and Kate Beckinsale. Michelle also managed to score valuable television exposure on Gossip Girl, a favorite of fashionistas everywhere where posh Upper East Siders played by Blake Lively and Leighton Meester toted around the Amex Black cards in Michelle Vale handbags.
While fashion was part of Michelle's DNA — dad was a senior vice president of Sasson Jeans, favored by aspiring disco divas everywhere in the 80s, and mom once owned a boutique, she never planned on going into the business as a career. "I used to go to Studio 54 with my father," Michelle told me. "It was such a big part of my childhood that I wanted to something completely different, so I got a master's in counseling children which, as it turns out, has come in handy in this business." It was when the accidental designer got pregnant quickly after getting married that she decided she wanted to do something that allowed her to stay at home with her newborn son. "I literally started the business with my son in my lap," she said.

When travelling through YVR we're often in such a hurry to catch our flight that we don't get to experience all the amazing things around us. That's why we're happy to invite the community to take their time to soak in North America's number one airport on the new YVR Explorer Tour.
Every Friday from March 7 until June 27 the community will have the opportunity to book a guided interactive pre-security tour of YVR, for free! Registration opens January 29. Download application form here.
Have you ever wanted to take a tour at YVR? Maybe you have some extra time to spare while waiting for an arriving flight or you're on a long layover?

Each Fall, Metro Vancouver Grade Five students are invited to take part in The Future Lands Here school tour program that provides a first-hand look at Vancouver International Airport.

Students also receive an instructive tour of the public areas of the terminal and learn about some key pieces of First Nation's art on display and the architecture at YVR.
Registration information is sent out to Metro Vancouver schools early in June each year. Schools applying receive confirmation of tour dates by the end of the school year in order to prepare for Fall programming.

Park Gate is set to be a 4.7 million sq ft mixed-use development project that will include offices, retail space and a hotel. Its 6 gently curved towers will be grouped in pairs and covered with a light weight vaulted canopy overhead to provide shade for the interior, reducing the ground temperatures by 10-15 degrees. Solar panels cover the roof of the canopy providing renewable energy for the development and also provide structure for the hanging trellises and gardens. The hanging gardens are watered with a water-efficient gray water misting system and help cool the surrounding air.
Oriented to reduce solar heat gain and to receive optimum natural ventilation in the form of sea breezes, the arched structure will provide a shady and cool respite from the desert sun. Balconies on the interior of the arches look down on the cool gardens and reflecting pools below. The salt-water pools act as a thermal sink, absorbing heat during the day and releasing it back during the night. Drought tolerant vegetation is planted throughout the gardens and indigenous, salt-water-tolerant plants are planted near the pools, which reduces potable water use.

Comments about Avenue Solid 2x2 Ribbed Tank:
I ordered 5 of these tops. They are perfect right out of the wrapper but after one wash cycle, they loose length. The shrinkage makes them too short to comfortably wear in public for me. They need to be at least 2 inches longer to accommodate the shrinkage.

Comments about Avenue Solid 2x2 Ribbed Tank:
I bought this product online thinking it wouldn't be very nice, but it would work in a pinch. Once I put it on, I couldn't believe how comfortable it is! I haven't felt this comfortable in my work attire in a long time. The neckline really worked for me. Being busty, most camis that I purchase tend to show too much. Other shells can be too close to the neckline to look nice or be comfortable. This one sits comfortably in between and I don't have to worry about leaning over too far at work. I'm so pleased I'm going to buy more in a few other colors.

Comments about Avenue Solid 2x2 Ribbed Tank:
I've been looking for some casual tank tops that would come down past my hips. I'm 5'5 and when I received these tank tops, I thought they would work out, so I was happy. Then I put them in the wash before wearing them and they shrank so much! Not only did they shrink to the point that they just barely cover my waist, but the whole thing shrank to the point that the armholes cut up under my arms...like they are so high up. I guess the whole thing shrank up enough that the tank tops just don't fit anymore.
The fabric is okay, but once they shrank the tops felt bulky and kind of heavy. It seems hard to explain, but I'm really disappointed. I can barely wear them around the house because I'm forever tugging at the hem AND at the arm holes. Wish I could send them back but I washed them. Of course they fit great BEFORE I washed them or I would have sent them back. Catch 22.

Weoley Castle Ruins has reached the semi-final stage in the Best Heritage category of the National Lottery Awards.
The £1.14 million facelift of Birmingham's 13th Century Weoley Castle Ruins has been shortlisted for a prestigious national heritage award.

No profit will be made from the cost of the phone vote by The National Lottery).
Work completed as part of the facelift includes:
In addition to the work carried out, a committed team of volunteer Castle Keepers has now been established. The dedicated volunteers contribute to the upkeep and maintenance of the site and carry out guided tours of the site. They meet on a monthly basis and help at open days and events.

You have done well!
You have done well! Excellent interface and online help and it runs fast too. Your specific instructions for converting .tivo to .mpeg convinced me to try and buy. I don't want to become a video expert to convert a few video files. Nov 5, 2012
Does a great job reducing the file size
Video Converter is the fastest converter that I've tried and I've tried several over the years. The output quality is better than the others and the mp4 "compliance" is better, that is, your product complies with mp4 standards well whereas some other converters do not. File size: Just a note: Video Converter does a great job reducing the file size (almost 1/3!) while maintaining sufficient video quality - I hardly notice the difference between the source and output files! June 4, 2012
Good software and produces excellent results
Your software is very good & produces excellent results. I'm very impressed with the number of available output formats as well! April 1, 2012
Now I can do AMD GPU encoding
I installed AMD 12.2 drivers for my WIndows7-64 OS with an AMD 7950 video card and Pavtube 4.0.5 now I can do AMD GPU encoding! I can now click on the CUDA/AMD icon and check mark AMD. My test file encode time went for 89 seconds without the AMD icon lit down to 47 seconds with the icon lit - almost half! Also, the file size went from 134MB down to 60MB and I can't see any difference in image quality. Your AMD support works great now with AMD 12.2 drivers on my 7950, thanks Pavtube! March 22, 2012
Very useful
We've been very impressed with what the Video Converter can achieve for such a modest price, so thanks again for a great piece of software! Very useful. Sep 23, 2010
Well support for TiVo recordings to iPad conversion
I use Pavtube for coverting TiVo videos for my iPad. It works very well and I haven't really had any problems. Conversion speed seems fine and the videos look good on the iPad. I saw Pavtube mentioned in the TiVo forums as a good way to convert for the iPad so I decided to try it. It's much better than TiVo's converter. TiVo's converters for mobile devices are terrible. June 28, 2010
Simple and direct
I really like the software. The main reason I bought it was the VERY user friendly interface. It's very simple and direct. I'm a film student, and it converts all my footage to a small file size, which anyone will tell you is a lifesaver for any hard drive. There was one other converter I was looking at, but yours won. March 26, 2010
Fast and fantastic
Your application is fantastic. Very quick conversions and lots of file format options. Very happy overall, thank you! Feb. 3, 2010
Worked very well
I am using the Pavtube converter to convert some video taken with my Droid cell phone for use in Adobe Premiere. I could not use them directly. Your product worked very well. I found your software doing a Google search for video converters. Jan. 26, 2010
A: Please click here to see the detailed steps.Q: I have ever purchased your Windows software and now I changed my PC to Mac.
Can I install this software onto my Mac? Or can you send me a Mac version?
A: All of our softwares are platform-independent ones but not cross-platform.
So a Windows software cannot be installed onto a Mac computer and vice
If you need a Mac version, please kindly contact with Pavtube support team at email@example.com.
Or if you need a Windows version, please kindly contact with Pavtube support team at email@example.com.
Discount will be available for a second purchase.
A: A trail version converts videos with watermark (the logo of Pavtube) on the screen and asks if you would like to purchase at each run while a retail version allows you to use freely without putting on watermark. As a customer of Pavtube, you will be reminded to update the software whenever a new version is released. The update is free of charge for lifetime. Besides, your emails will be attended at the first time, your advice and requirements will be much valued when we upgrade the software.Q: How to combine multiple video clips into one file?
A: Select the items you want to combine together and check the box of 'Merge into one file' before converting the videos.Q: My widescreen movies (16x9) aren't staying widescreen after conversion. I don't want the video to be stretched and made taller. What can I do?
A: Simply click 'Settings' button and set the Video Size to 16*9 aspect ratio before converting the movie.Q: How can I set the output file name?
A: Please find the column named 'Destination File' on file list. Double click the output name and then you can type in desired output file name.Q: My videos were recorded by my HD camcorder, there are many stripes and noises on the picture after conversion, why should this happen?
A: Some footages are taken under interlacing mode, and this lead to stripes and lines on the screen. To eliminate the lines, you may follow 'Edit' menu-> 'Effect' tab and check 'Deinterlacing' box before conversion. As to the noise, when you apply the special effect mode "Simple Gauss Blur" from the drop-down list, the noise will be reduced greatly.Q: I'd like to eliminate black bars (edges) from the movie, what should I do?
A: Click 'Edit' button to enter into the edit panel and switch to the Crop tab, then just drag the dashed frame on the video screen of the original preview window to cut off the unwanted parts to get the right aspect ratio you need.Q: How do I install and register the software?
A: Please find more details at Install and register Windows products.Q: I am unable to download the program properly. What can I do?
A: Please check whether your computer has been infected. Then check your IE settings. Please click "Internet option..." under "Tools", and then select the "General" Page, just click "Delete file...", and it will be OK.Q: Can I change the output file name?
A: Yes. Please find the column named "Destination File" on file list. Click the particular output name under the "Destination File" column, and then you can specify the output file name.

'Safe Passage' routes put to test amid more shootings

The eyes of the city were on Chicago Public Schools "Safe Passage" routes Monday morning as a 28-year-old man was shot along one of the routes and a 14-year-old boy was shot to death near another one, the day before school starts.
The 14-year-old boy was shot and killed within a block of a welcoming elementary school, Melody Stem School , 3937 W. Wilcox. It's at least the third fatal shooting along or near a Safe Passage route since mid-August.
About 12:20 a.m. Sunday, the boy, Lavander Hearnes, was standing outside in the 4000 block of West Wilcox Street with several other people when he was shot, authorities said.
He was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital at 9:04 a.m. Sunday, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said.
At Melody Stem School, several parents didn't seem overly alarmed at the news of the shooting.
Some parents said shootings aren't unexpected in the neighborhood, while others weren't ready to judge Chicago Public Schools' plans on the first day of school.
"I don't really feel too threatened," said Vicki Brown, 29, a parent with two kids at Melody. "It's a relative thing. You can't control the violence."
Kaylyn Williams, the children's father, agreed.
"I feel the kids are relatively safe," he said, as sirens wailed in the distance.
Both Brown and Willams said they like what they've seen of Melody, but calling it a "work in progress." Their children attended Edward C. Delano Elementary School last year.
"The teachers are very friendly and very organized for the first day," Brown said.
Another parent, though, Kelvina Nance, 25, said she's not overly impressed with the Safe Passage route and said she plans to walk her 6-year-old twins to school.
"It can't be too safe because kids are still getting shot up," Nance said, adding, "Wherever we go, we're still on the West Side, and there are still going to be shootings."
The 28-year-old man was shot about 11:35 p.m. Sunday in the 1400 block of South Tripp Avenue in the North Lawndale neighborhood, police said. The block is along the route to Hughes Elementary.
The man was walking when he heard shots and felt pain, police said. He was shot in the neck and suffered a graze wound to the back.
He was listed in guarded condition early Monday at Mount Sinai Hospital.
At the Hughes School at 15th and Kildare, parents reacted with weary resignation to news of the shooting.
"It's really bad over here. I'm taking my grandson out of here," said Linda McNulty, as she walked out of Hughes with her grandson Kenneth, 9. "I'm done. I'm done." She said she was taking him to be transferred to Dvorak at Central Park and 16th. She had planned to transfer him before the shooting, but it strengthened her resolve. It was quiet around the school just before 10 a.m. , "But lunchtime, it'll be a whole new dance," she said.
Thousands of children walked unfamiliar sidewalks to newly assigned schools Monday morning in the wake of massive school closings.
At Tilton School at 223 N. Keeler, parents said they were impressed with opening day security efforts.
"I think they're doing a good job. It's a start," said Kenyatta Laye, who walked her third-grade son, Travaras, to Tilton. "I still walk him myself. I won't let him walk alone because of the neighborhood."
Pastor Marshall Hatch from nearby New Mt. Pilgrim Baptist chirch said the issues in the neighborhood are more complex than gang rivalries. "This is a regional drug market. A lot of people from the tri-state region and the suburbs come off the Eisenhower Expressway and this is where they cop drugs."
He succeeded in getting her on a wait list for a charter school and expects she will only be at Tilton one month.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett, who've been navigating the rocky aftermath of closing 47 elementary schools this year, insist the Safe Passage program is ready. Emanuel has declared it an "all-hands-on-deck" scenario in which every adult in Chicago — especially city workers — should lend a hand.
Six hundred newly hired Safe Passage workers in yellow vests fanned out early Monday along 53 new routes marked with bright yellow "Safe Passage" signs.
The Safe Passage workers were hired by vendors contracted by CPS to employ community members with a stake in the future of their neighborhood.
Harold Davis, one of the contractors, hired 60 people to line routes on the South and West sides.
"They know: You see trouble, get on your walkie-talkie and call your supervisor, the school or police," Davis said.
The new routes are an expansion of an already existing program that Emanuel has touted as a success.
The routes, released less than three weeks ago, are meant to offset any hazards that could arise as children walk unfamiliar sidewalks and, many parents worry, cross gang boundaries to get to their new schools.
The program has garnered negative news coverage for what critics say is an ill-thought-out plan that was hatched at the last minute.
Monday marked a slew of changes for Chicago schools.
All of CPS' 400,000 students, elementary and high school alike, are reporting to class on the same day. For another, it's a whole week before Labor Day.
CPS approved in June the closure of 49 elementary schools and a high school program, 48 of which already closed their doors in June.
As part of the consolidation process, about 2,000 more classrooms got air conditioning installed this summer — just in time for suddenly sweltering temps expected to hit the mid-90s.
CPS reported Friday that 91 percent of children from the closed schools reenrolled in CPS, 78 percent of whom chose the school the district recommended for them.
How many turn up to those schools remains to be seen, as does how many will be homeschooled or show up at their old schools, as parents threatened during the school closing hearings.

Comments about Paula Young Symmetry Wig by Gabor®:
No one knows this is a wig! I have been complimented by stylists on my hair style wearing this wig. It is light, and not too much hair, as many wigs are. It is even more minimal than the photo. I wash it weekly in wig shampoo. Next morning I shake it out, and I am ready to go. I hope it is not being discontinued, as I see it is only being offered in 3 colors, and has been "on sale" on other sites. It is the best of the 7 wig styles I have tried over the last year.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hexagon pillow
PS. Thanks so much for the chair makeover love. I'm thinking you are all right - I'm going to leave as is. It's easier that way too. :)
29 comments:
Just when I think I'll never do another hexagon item.....this cute little pillows pops up! I love it. Super fresh!ReplyDelete
And I love a good cause!! Fabric guilt is definitely a plague at my house.
Love this cushion! I'm thinking I may have to take some hexie making things to the Isle of Skye on my photography week holiday in a couple of weeks. I have visions of sitting in the cottage after a long day out taking photos of the Cuilins, curled up in front of the fire with some hexies to sew while having a good laugh with my friends. Which probably means not a single one will get sewn lolReplyDelete
it's so cute Amy!ReplyDelete
I think I need to try making osme hexies so that I can make one, maybe that will be my project to bring with for the sewing summit.
Your pillow is adorable! Now I finally know what I will do with my hexagon flowers, which I keep making and making -- great activity while watching tv.ReplyDelete
i love your hexie pillow. I wish i was going to the sewing summit, but maybe next year. i am currently working on your "easy brick quilt" and really enjoying it.do you have a flickr page to post to when i'm done?.ReplyDelete
I love your pillow...looks perfect on your 'new' chair!! SEW clever!ReplyDelete
Love the pillow! The quilting around the outside border is the perfect touch!ReplyDelete
Wow, that is so adorable! I love it! I'm working on a diamond shaped one kind of like that, and it feels like I may never finish, maybe I should make a pillow! Thanks for the great ideas!ReplyDelete
Such an adorable pillow!ReplyDelete
Love it! I would love to do more hand sewing. Beautiful!ReplyDelete
Love the hexies...I really want to try that one of these days!ReplyDelete
And thank you for the plug about Malawi! I do want to clarify, that this fabric will go for Christmas gifts...they give an article of clothing to each child at Christmas. They do, indeed, pay to have uniforms made for children to attend school...however, that fabric is a specific color for each school, so they have to get the fabric for the uniforms in Malawi. The fabric that is donated, will end up in Malawi, Africa and will be made into t-shirt dresses by my MIL or if it's larger than a 1 yd. piece, she will pay the tailor to make dresses.
Thank you all so much! God bless!
I love that pillow!! I just love making hexies too... am currently working on making a tablerunner with some hexies. A pillow is definitely going to be my next hexie project! And what a great way to practice my hand quilting too! Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete

LOVE the pillow. You could wrap it in plastic wrap to preserve it... hee hee. I made one and it's in Livi's bed and I live in fear that a marker or pen will ever find its way to its surface. Maybe one of Hermione's "protective" spells would help ;) xo amyReplyDelete

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I had bilateral (hereditary) retinoblastoma when I was a child. What is my risk of developing other cancers later in life?
Janet L. Kwiatkowski, MD, OncoLink's Pediatric Oncology Section Editor, responds:
Dear OncoLink Reader:
Thank you for your question.
Two forms of retinoblastoma exist, a hereditary form and a non-hereditary form. Patients with retinoblastoma involving both eyes or patients with tumor in one eye and a family history of retinoblastoma are considered to have the hereditary form.
Patients with the hereditary form of retinoblastoma have an increased risk of developing other cancers later in life. This is attributable primarily to a germline (passed to all of the bodyís cells) mutation in the retinoblastoma tumor suppresser gene, RB1. Mutations in this gene have also been linked to other tumors in addition to retinoblastoma. The most common secondary tumors that develop in patients with hereditary retinoblastoma are bone and soft tissue sarcomas. Radiation therapy, one of the treatments frequently used in the treatment of retinoblastoma, further increases the risk of developing a second malignancy in patients with hereditary retinoblastoma. Therefore, it is important for all patients with a history of hereditary retinoblastoma to be followed closely by their physicians.
If you would like more information about retinoblastoma you can refer to the OncoLink Retinoblastoma section.
Mar 6, 2013 - Risk classification based on histopathologic features is an effective approach to selecting appropriate adjuvant therapy for patients with intraocular unilateral retinoblastoma treated by primary enucleation, according to a study published online March 5 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

A lot has been made about the ending to The Last Exorcism, from people feeling cheated to others walking away being completely satisfied. And in some cases, its been reported that film goers have vocalized their anger towards it once the credits begin to roll. I for one, left completely satisfied as I viewed the ending as a perfect bookend to the story and completely logical given the picture I think it was painting regarding the current state of religion. I realize that my conclusion may be seen as 'You are looking way too much into this' and I invite you to tell me if I'm completely off my rocker. For those of you who have yet to see the film, spoilers abound.
Reverend Cotton is the embodiment of how I currently view those in a higher state of moral power, and overall, representative of a much larger problem with religion as a whole. A cocky, ballsy performer who can hold a crowd in the palm of his hand and manipulate them in any way he sees fit. I mentioned the banana nut bread recipe he recited as proof positive of his abilities in my review. But his power and influence goes well beyond reciting something his mother had given him mid-sermon.
His sphere of influence goes beyond the confines of his church, into the rituals which his faith and family have long practiced, the most notable of which, the rites of exorcism. But they aren't rituals born out of true, religious necessity. We come to find out that performing the act is viewed as the treatment of one's temporarily weakened mental state. It's a cathartic release of a perceived ailment which has befallen the victim, a way to rid the individual of something they've attempted to label of which they don't quite understand (i.e. depression, psychosis, etc.). And because they can't quite figure out what's going on, they take it to the extreme and self diagnose: ' I'm possessed.' Others might take a more rational approach to their 'condition', maybe seeking the advice of a doctor or shrink. Instead of doing that, the extremely holy and devote go see their local pastor who readily play into their wildest fears. But why do they exactly? Because of course, as it's explained in the film, they need a paycheck too.
But it's not enough for him to take the money and run, he goes one step further and makes a production out of it. Rigging the bed. Pumping in demonic sounds through his iPod. Stringing various objects together in the room to clang and jingle to give the perception of the 'demon' struggling against the effects of the ritual. All of these smoke and mirrors combining to bring his illusion to life.
What Reverend Cotton represents, is the prime example of what religion has become in its present day form: an institution that allows and promotes manipulation, power over, and a duping of the masses. It's easy pickings to him when it comes to playing into someone's belief that some other power or being has a hold over them. Afterall, they are all pretty predictable. He laughs at letters and other requests he receives, even calling out the contents of the letter before reading it. He is (granted, on a much smaller scale) the preacher on Sunday morning TV, speaking in an arena-sized church filled with thousands of people, completely unsuspecting of the power that is being exerted over them.
So what does this have to do with the end? Where there is Reverend Cotton, there is also his opposite (or so it appears at first). Pastor Manley is the small town pastor who seems to be a genuinely devoted man of the cloth. He talks about how he's reached out to the family, tried to help them in their greatest hour of need. However, our idea of him starts to crack when we are told of his 'parties' with the kids who attend his Sunday school. And it shatters completely when we are confronted with his horrifyingly true intentions at the end of our film.
Certain clues hinted at how the film would end and it made sense when it all unraveled even though the perpetrators turned out to be different. But that's not why the film works for me. Overall, I think the film is an indictment of current organized religion and those who hold a position of power within it. More specifically, it suggests that everyone within the establishment is evil and out for their own self-serving gain. And with no one coming to the rescue of Nell, to a larger extent, I think it suggests that there is no god. That there is no one to save us.
