![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One excellent element in Gaslight is Bronislau Kaper's score, which gave Gaslight the extra element of Gothic horror. There was a slight artificiality to it that didn't quite convince me he wasn't "acting". I didn't think it a horrible performance but it seemed a bit stiff, like he was in the theater rather than a film. My issue would be with Cotten, who seems slightly miscast as the investigator. Dame May Whitty was the comic relief as the nosy neighbor, but while she was kept to a minimum at least it didn't come across as silly. That balance between sleazy and innocent is well-handled by Lansbury. As the tawdry new maid Nancy, Lansbury's performance made one wonder whether she too was in on the act. Then again, the adaptation of Gas Light probably wanted us aware that Anton was manipulating her for his wicked intentions.Īngela Lansbury earned an Oscar nomination for this, her screen debut, and it is well-warranted. It seems clear he is villainous, and I wonder if director George Cukor opted not to make the mystery less obvious. Of particular note is when he reacts when Paula finds a note from "Sergius Bauer", a gentleman caller of Aunt Alice. Instead, it's the performance of a character who now has full command, enacting her own justice on her tormentor.īoyer at times seemed a bit theatrical, his French accent making things more so. It's only at the end, when she gets her revenge, that we see Bergman unleashed, and again it isn't a theatrical performance. In fact, there's a certain restraint in her manner, one where Paula's growing fears fights against her knowledge of her genuine sanity. Instead, the struggle between what she knows and what she is being manipulated into believing is played as a woman torn in two. The brilliance of Bergman's performance is that the growing fear and anxiety is played without her becoming fully hysterical. She easily transitions from the young woman in love to that of the terrified figure, shivering at the idea that she might be going mad. Gaslight is held up by the strong central performance of Ingrid Bergman. As Paula's mind starts disintegrating, it will take all her strength to find out if and who is gaslighting her. There's evil at work, but what or who can be behind it? Into this case comes Brian Cameron (Joseph Cotten), a detective and fan of Paula's aunt who suspects Gregory is not whom he says he is. There are footsteps only she can hear, and gaslights dimming with no apparent reason that only she can see. Items begin disappearing with Paula unaware that "she" had taken them. Soon, Paula appears to be slipping into insanity. A whirlwind romance and marriage brings them back to the murder house, which Paula had inherited. However, while her career doesn't take she herself is, by suave pianist Gregory Anton (Charles Boyer). Gaslight is a well-acted albeit long film about the manipulation and ultimate revenge of the manipulated.Īfter her aunt is brutally murdered, Paula Alquist (Ingrid Bergman) goes to train as an opera diva like Aunt Alice. The term "gaslighting" (to try and manipulate someone into believing something that isn't true) is a dominant one today, yet few remember the origins of the term come from a Golden Era film. ![]() ![]() ![]() The patient, of course,Ĭan eventually learn how to do this independently.

![]() ![]() But I don't really know how much to allow for fillers (which, as I understand it, are pieces of wood or veneer, in the same finish as the cabinets, that are placed alongside/between cabinets to fill space or allow drawers/doors to open properly).įor those of you who have worked with before, do they figure out your filler requirements for you ? I have posted here before about my layout etc, and have settled on a nice plan. Figure out what you want in a cabinet, talk to professionals who are willing to help, and go with the one that best fits your needs.I am getting close to ordering my cabinets, and much as I would love to go custom, the extra few thousand to do that just got sucked up by unexpected issues discovered during re-roofing :-( Oh well, the backup plan is to order Ultracraft frameless cabinets through, which I'm sure will do the trick very nicely. When it comes down to it, there are pros and cons to both types of cabinets. Also, on cabinet boxes that have two doors (under a sink, for example), then a frameless cabinet will not have a stile going down the middle of the box (which also limits entrance, but does not change the storage space inside). For most people, this doesn’t make a huge difference since the actual inside storage space is the same, but depending on what you’ll be putting in the cabinet, it may be a deal breaker. Over time, hinges sometimes loosen and being able to adjust and tighten them can be a nice factor.įace frame cabinets can accommodate any type of cabinet door (standard overlay, full overlay, and inset) whereas frameless cabinets can only accommodate full overlay doors.Įven if the actual cabinet box is the exact same size on a face frame and a frameless cabinet, the frameless one will have a bigger opening. But, another thing to consider regarding the hinges is that you cannot adjust the hinges on a face frame cabinet, whereas you often can on a frameless one. So this aspect really shouldn’t be a deciding factor for you. With both types of cabinets, you can use regular hinges or concealed hinges. ![]() And with frameless cabinets, the hinges attach to the actual box. With face frame cabinets, the door hinges attach to the frame. It can be confusing, so keep this in mind while shopping. And frameless cabinets are often called full access, modern, European style, or Euro. Sometimes face frame cabinets are called framed, traditional, or American style. Make sure you look at the actual items and decide which aspects are most important to you.Īfter using the Venn diagram, if you’re still feeling confused, then continue reading and we'll talk about a few of these aspects in detail.Īs you shop for cabinets and talk to professionals, remember that these two types of cabinets often go by other names. ![]() But don’t make your decision based on which circle has more items. Also, some framed cabinets are sturdier because the frames helps to keep the box construction together.īelow is a Venn diagram with the aspects of both types of cabinets. Some people consider a face frame cabinet more decorative, but honestly, it’s just a style choice. A face frame (or framed) cabinet has a frame around the front of the cabinet box (hence the name), whereas a frameless cabinet does not. The illustration above is a simple visual and gives the basic difference in the two cabinet types-at least regarding ascetics.

The inference from this curvature of the keel was, that the ship would be very handy in stays, which has proved to be the case and she also steers well, and is an excellent and easy sea-boat. The keel of this vessel cambered upwards for about 30 feet forward, and to a less degree aft. Several times 15 to 16 knots were run off the line, with the wind on the quarter, and 12 when close-hauled 5½ points from the wind. On one day the Storm Cloud logged 345 nautical, or about 400 English miles. From the Line to the Cape was sailed in 22 days more, and the remainder of the distance, from the Cape to Melbourne, about half the entire passage, was run in the unprecedented short space of 20 days. Sailed from the Clyde for Melbourne in September last, encountering heavy gales and contrary winds for the first three days, so that it took six weeks to reach the Line, a distance of 4000 nautical miles. We were of opinion that the Storm Cloud would prove one of the fastest vessels, if not the quickest, that ever left the Clyde and the result has so far verified the opinion we then formed. The general build and configuration were so far out of the usual run of clipper-ships, that a great deal of attention was excited, as the vessel lay on the stocks, amidst old salts and shipowners, as to the result of so daring a departure from the ordinary form of ships. Her keel is not level, but curves up fore and aft, which it is calculated will make her more readily answer her helm. We may state, however, that her lines are an approximation to those of the celebrated yacht America, the sharpness of her bows being carried aft to near the stern. It is difficult to explain her remarkable and novel build. This truly noble ship has been constructed expressly with the view of attaining a higher rate of speed than any other vessel ever built in this or any other country and, if we may judge from the exquisite beauty of her mould, she promises to fulfill all that is expected of her.

When you run it on your phone, it will build a tunnel between your phone and its server. The way that Speedtest VPN works is very similar to that of other VPNs. The newly added free VPN feature of the Speedtest app is just the beta version. Presently, Speedtest VPN is still in the beta phase. is one of the best internet speed test sites you can use for free. Speedtest is available across all major platforms ( Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS). Speedtest also keeps history logs of internet speed tests run previously by users to allow users to compare results at a later time. If you don’t want to mess around with that, Speedtest can automatically pick the closest server to you (based on your IP address) when you click on the “GO” button. Speedtest offers a wide range of servers that ensures accurate speed tests. Moreover, it is free and fast Operated and managed by Ookla, Speedtest is one of the top-notched speed test services you should consider. It is just the preview version of Speedtest’s VPN service. Speedtest, one of the best speed test services, also started to include VPN features in its mobile apps.

More and more people also worry about their security and privacy online because the Internet is full of threats.

We will always recommend considering all these factors before you try a new VPN service, especially on phones, which contain a lot more of our data these days. Someone like That One Privacy Site will need to look into the service for a more unbiased and detailed look. However, we don't know other details such as the jurisdiction where the service is based, the level of encryption offered, level of obfuscation, company policies and more. One must be particularly vigilant when the service is being offered for free, as having the server and bandwidth capacity for a VPN is not at all cheap and any company offering it must have a business model in place.įor its part, Ookla claims that Speedtest VPN is a zero log service, which means it keeps no record of who uses the service and for what purpose, thereby making it impossible for people within the company and external agents like the government to access this information. It goes without saying that the service you are routing ALL your data through is trustworthy and offers some basic security features expected of a good VPN. However, users will continue to be offered 2GB of free data every month even if they don't subscribe to the paid plans.Īs with every VPN service, there are security implications one must consider. Ookla has confirmed that it has plans to offer paid tiers in future when the service leaves beta phase. In its current beta phase, the service is being offered for free from within the Speedtest app. All the traffic on your device will now be routed through Speedtest VPN servers, which will reduce your speed but offers the advantage of obfuscating the data from your ISP and also providing access to blocked websites. You press a button and the OS will prompt you to add the VPN to your device, and then you're off to the races. Speedtest VPN works pretty much the same way most VPN apps work on these platforms. Called Speedtest VPN, the service is currently in beta and being offered as part of the Speedtest app on iOS and Android. Ookla, makers of the original website and the subsequent mobile and desktop applications for testing bandwidth, has now introduced a VPN service. ![]() ![]() In an “easy reading” style, the author’s thoughts are nicely developed and communicated.
