She Kills Her Husband Once but THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE, 1946
July 19, 2017 by kelleepratt 6 Comments
The postman always rings twice doesn't refer to a mail carrier's methodology of delivery in this 1946 film noir directed by Tay Garnett, starring John Garfield and Lana Turner. This is film noir, friends, so we are addressing the subject of dark and dirty crime. Not just any crime but murder. Mariticide, to be exact.
Mariticide is the act of killing one's husband. Not exactly a new concept in film noir. As a matter of fact, many parallels can be drawn between this film and Billy Wilder's DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944). In THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (1946), the title alludes (spoilers ahead!) not to the beginning fiery heat of two lovers, not to the detailed steps of planning the murder of a spouse, but moreso to the aftermath and ironic justice in how this ill-fated romance ends.
Many crime stories and film noirs focus on the tension, motivation and players that lead up to or explain the crime. While THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (1946) does a marvelous job in that arena, a good chunk of the story focuses on good ole karma that comes along not on the first ring, but on that second ding. I'll save those scrumptious details for you to savor when you watch the film.
Before I get ahead of myself, let's start at the beginning and chat about the sparks that brought this doomed couple of criminal lovers together. John Garfield as Frank Chambers is perfection as the casual drifter who floats in to the Twin Oaks roadside diner on a breeze. Actually, he wanders in via hitchhiking with the local district attorney (who lives closeby and will become a key factor in his undoing) and is soon greeted by the local motorcycle cop who is often witness in rather inconvenient ways.
He soon meets Nick Smith (Cecil Kellaway), owner of the cafe, and they quickly conduct a job interview via on-the-spot character reads. Note: we will discover later that Nick fails miserably at both job interviews and character assessments. After Frank confidently and casually pushes his loosely tied commitment for the position, Nick dashes off to greet a gas customer outside as Frank is introduced to his platinum blonde doom aka Mrs. Smith inside. We meet Lana Turner as Cora Smith in a memorable character debut where the camera follows her from her 'accidental' lipstick drop and roll to the slow pan up her legs to her petite frame in iconic ivory shorts, crop top and turbin.
The heat and tension is palatable from the very first exchange. Frank wastes no time in making his move. But first, and what plays out as a very interesting foreshadowing, is the power struggle gauntlet is thrown down upon their very initial exchange- over lipstick, no doubt. Before their first first kiss, which Frank plants boldly and rather assumedly, Frank issues the challenge of who is in charge. Cora plays her best game of sexy meets coy to lure Frank close to the flame via handing her the fiery red lipstick. But watch Frank pause, lean back and challenge Cora to come to him. She succumbs allowing Frank to think this was his game. But is it? This initial exchange was the true precursor and warning for them both.
Through a botched attempt to run away, Cora symbolically morphs from pristine and crisp white to dirty, sweaty, and dusty hitchhiker as she has a change of heart. This is not how she planned. They go back. Narrowly escaping Nick's discovery, Frank has an opening to leave. But as countless film noir anti-heroes eventually do, he ignores any instinct to do the right thing. Frank: "Right then, I shoulda walked outta that place… She had me licked and she knew it."
After initial and seeming resistence, we later learn that she was actually the one strategically in charge all along. And he acted helpless in acting better on his own behalf. Once the hooks were firmly embedded deep, even the red flag of 'if you truly love me, you'll murder for me' couldn't stop her quest to fulfill her ambitious needs to "be somebody." Cora challenges Frank: "Do you love me? Do you love me so much that nothing else matters?"
Watching this trainwreck of an excuse for love unfold, as the audience we see the red flags, the road signs of dangerous curves up ahead… everywhere. From our lofty tower of wisdom, we see the mistakes, the grave errors in judgement. While this film spends a good chunk of time and detail serving justice post-mariticide in an ironic twist of fate for these two with a one-two punch, the fascinating components remain the motivations and evolutions of behavior.
Why this film remains a classic, besides enjoying the sexual tension sizzle off the screen and the nail-biting moments of thrills and suspense, what keeps us riveted as the voyeurs to this obsessive, dysfunctional romance is the undercurrent of self questioning, playing out in our own hearts and heads of how obsession can turn oneself against their own morality. Where is that line drawn? What does it take to push someone over the edge? This film ultimately begs the question: if a smart, non-commitment, non-romantic type like Frank can fall into such a deep, tragic trap, could something like this happen to anyone? Yes, perhaps even you?
I think that is what is at the heart of THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (1946). Even the sharpest cynic can blunder and fall prey. Not that murder is a very likely result, but I wager to guess that a significant number of people have experienced a type of obsessive love that has altered their judgement in morality, which was not in their own best interests. So, let that mail courier ring your doorbell twice, even three times. But watch out for the Lana Turner cunning beauties of the roadside cafes. More importantly, watch out for the little voice in your heart and head whenever you hear it crying out "NO!!" – sometimes it's important to listen.

A fantastic piece that shows great insight and analysis. Look forward to watching this great film again, with some extra angles to consider. Many thanks for your review!
Wade Sheeler says:
Great piece! Love this film and the original Cain novel. Have you ever seen the Bob Rafelson remake? I initially was turned off, but then read the book and realized it was closer to the source material. It's not shot like a noir, and is set, like the book in the 1930s. Definitely has a ton of heat and passion. Curious what you think.
CineMaven says:
Hi Kellee…this is a great read. I laughed out loud when you wrote how Nick wasn't a good judge of character. Oh Lord…was he ever, not a good judge. Your best line, or best description was of Lana: Platinum Blonde Doom! Wow!!! I enjoyed your piece very much, and I thank you for taking part in my blogathon. Hope it was fun for you. Thanx again!

Even without the great comments, this post is one of my favorites, just to see Lana Turner's legs… 🙂
I love how you described the Garfield-Turner relationship as a "trainwreck" and how we are voyeurs in watching it unfold. The first meeting between them is deceptive, as you pointed out, because we think Garfield is in control. It's not until later we realize he's just a poor slob caught in a bad situation. Really enjoyed your review! 🙂
Great film, the sexual tension between Garfield and Turner is wild. I love the look they share when they first meet. You are right about there being a power struggle between them in their relationship, it makes for interesting viewing indeed.


Rentprop4u is an online rental management platform that aims to connect owners with tenants.
House hunting can be a difficult task. Nagaraju's friend faced a similar situation when he arrived in Bengaluru from Bihar to pursue his Master's degree. He was looking for an accommodation, and like anyone new to a city, he encountered trouble like not being able to find the right accommodation on rent close to college.
Meanwhile, Nagaraju's uncle, who happened to be a landlord, owned a dozen single-bedroom homes in the city.
It was then that Nagaraju thought there was a need for a trusted source to connect a landlord and a tenant. This is why he started Rentprop4u, a property management and rental solution platform for landlords and tenants.
"For owners, it's just a click away from renting out their property, and for tenants too, a click away to find their desired property in their preferred location," says Nagaraju.
The owners upload details of their property – the amenities, locality and their preferred tenant type and, based on this, Rentprop4u proposes the market rent for the property, with a detailed explanation about the rates.
Rentprop4u promotes the property to find the right tenants as per the requirements of the owner. It also does the screening of the tenants and takes an approval of the same from the owners, and the platform also provides assured rent to owners. Owners start receiving the rent from the first month itself, irrespective of whether the tenants occupy the property or not. Rentprop4u takes the ownership for all maintenance of the property.
The team charges the owner a month's rent as a service fee. For owners, the team offers two service plans – First Tenant Move in (FTM) and Periodical Move in (PTM). Under the FTMplan, the services starts only after the tenant moves in. In the PTM option, the team takes 30 days or a mutually-agreed timeframe to rent out the property. The owner starts receiving the rent after the agreed period, even if the tenant has not occupied the property.
"After the owner chooses the plan and agrees to all the terms and conditions, we sign an agreement for three years," says Nagaraju.
Since it is a marketplace-like model, the tenants choose their desired property on the platform and can block the same by paying a fee of Rs 2,500. The team arranges a property visit for the tenants, and in case they do not like the property, they can choose from other options.
"We will help them until they find their desired property. If nothing works for them, Rentprop4u will repay the Rs 2,500 that they had paid to block the property," says Nagaraju.
One of the biggest challenges for Rentprop4u was onboarding properties and convincing the owners.
Apart from the likes of Tiger Global-backed NestAway, and Delhi-based ZiffyHomes, there are several other startups in the space such as StayAbode, Placio, Flathood, Rentroomi, RentMyStay, CoLive, Stanza Living, and many others.
According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) report, the residential rental market in India is pegged at $20 billion, of which urban spaces account for $13.5 billion. Delhi-based co-living startup CoHo pegs the co-living market at $10 billion.
"Now we do receive a lot of referrals from the owners. Secondly, our business model is such that picking the right property is extremely important. Understanding the market, knowledge about the area and psyche of the people are some key aspects that need to be considered during acquisitions," says Nagaraju. He adds that close to 60 percent of their properties come through customer/client referrals.
"We were transparent with regard to market rent for properties. We ensure that we educated our customers on the demand for their property and the prevalent market rental rates," says Nagaraju.
He adds that they always check the background of the tenant before taking approval from the owner.
"As for our initial difficulty in finding the right employees, we invested more time and some additional money to ensure that we found the right people. With a good work culture, employee engagement programmes, team outings and skill development programmes, we have ensured that employee retention is higher," says Nagaraju.
The platform has a total of 650 active tenants, around 520 listed properties, and it receives an average of 30,000 visitors every month (40 percent owners and others; 60 percent tenants).
The team's immediate target is to acquire 1,000 properties within the next eight months, and within the next three years, the company aims to acquire 5,000 properties in three major markets – Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad.

February 4, 2017: Judicial Independence and the Rule of Law: Statement By New York State Bar Association President Gutekunst
By Communications Department
New York State Bar Association President Claire P. Gutekunst issued the following statement today.
"The New York State Bar Association has long supported judicial independence as essential to maintaining the rule of law and protecting individual rights. An independent judiciary, able to make rulings based upon the law, rather than under pressure from the legislative or executive branch, is a vital part of our system of checks and balances.
"This requires that our judges be treated with respect, regardless of whether parties to a litigation agree with the court's judgments and orders. It also requires compliance with orders of our courts, consistent with the rule of law.
"Personal denigration of judges is improper and demeans the respect for the co-equal third branch of government that our Constitution requires."
The 72,000 member New York State Bar Association is the largest voluntary state bar association in the nation. It was founded in 1876.

Q: How to check my quota from terminal using LDAP We are using a (synology) fileserver in combination with LDAP to host all the home directories for our users. Every user gets assigned a certain quota of how many GB he is allowed to use in his home directory.
Is there a way to check how large the quota is allowed by the LDAP fileserver?
Something equivalent to
df -h

for local partitions

A: You question is not completely clear to me but the generic method to view a users quota on a Linux system would be with:
quota -u $USER

If you use samba and NTFS shares you can also use
smbcquotas -u $USER

from the users side.
But both are not related to LDAP: LDAP is a directory access protocol; Quotas are not a part of that but can be a part of the total setup if you include samba or the native quota tools on Ubuntu.

Bethel Adds Back School Days
KLCC | By Rachael McDonald
Published January 29, 2014 at 12:23 PM PST
Students at Eugene's Bethel School District will get five days back in their academic calendar this spring.
That's a combination of make up days for last month's snowstorm and a better budget outlook. The district is adding the 5 days back the week following spring break. That week in April had been scheduled as Budget Reduction Days. Bethel Superintendent Colt Gill says the district surveyed students, parents and staff.
Gill: "Results were pretty overwhelming that April was the choice that families wanted and staff wanted. It's a much better academic week for students. It comes before students participate in their Advance Placement and International Baccalaureate test and also before they test for essential skills to earn their Oregon diploma."
Gill says the week will give students more time to prepare. The district was able to add back days due to changes made by the legislature to PERS benefits. Gill says next year Bethel will receive a little more federal funding because of the high number of students in the district who are living in poverty.

A 19-year-old man speeding recklessly along a highway caused a left-frontal crash with another car. After his vehicle came to a standstill, he climbed out of the wreck and crawled across the tarmac to the other side of the road, where he died several minutes after the accident and before the arrival of an ambulance. Postmortem multislice computed tomography (MSCT) demonstrated fractures of the first, second, and third ribs and scapula on the left, an extrapleural hemorrhage in the apical region of the left thorax, as well as a large amount of blood in the left thoracic cavity. These radiologic findings were indicative of a delayed rupture of a traumatic extrapleural hematoma into the pleural space. A traditional autopsy confirmed the very rare diagnosis of a traumatic extrapleural hemorrhage with a delayed rupture.


The first time we saw the spider-like Life-Phorm all-in-one positioning device it reminded us of those Facehugger things from Alien. It's the kind of gadget that looks like it might spring to life while you're sleeping, scurry across the floor, and go eat a baby. Or maybe it's a pawn in a larger Decepticon plan to take over the world and get some Energon cube. We don't know, and we can't be certain, but in the meantime, it will hold your tablet, smartphone, or camera in a variety of helpful positions!


I have three recurring bugs, and they're ones reported by other users. Firstly, the tab sidebar often doesn't load and just shows the loading indicator forever. Secondly, it can get into a mood where clicking one tab switches to a completely different tab (often the tab directly before it in the tab order) (clicking the tab in Firefox's default top tab bar instead works as expected, so the issue is definitely with this add-on). Thirdly, it often forgets and rearranges child tabs with no apparent logic, changing the order and hierarchy completely.
I rely heavily on this add-on so I'm hoping they can fix these issues. It would be an easy five stars if I could just trust it without worrying whether or not it'll even load! I want to remove the default tab bar and just use this add-on, but at present I can't trust the add-on to work properly.

One of the best ways to get in shape, lose extra weight or gain muscle is to workout at a gym. However, not all gyms are made equal and there are a couple of things you should look for, especially when looking for gyms in Virginia Beach. In this article, we will take a closer look at a few factors you should consider.
First of all, you need to make sure that the gym has all of the right equipment that you need. The last thing you want to do is sign up for a gym that doesn't have enough weights, weight machines or the cardio machines that you typically use. Also, if you're a powerlifter or into any other type of specialized exercise, then you need to ensure that the gym allows that type of training and has the necessary space and equipment to allow you to do that training.
Next, you need to make sure that the gym has good quality equipment and that it has high standards of hygiene and cleanliness. You definitely don't want to use a gym that is not well taken care of or where the machines are old and rusty. This can be a serious health risk and also, old machines can potentially damage you.
Thirdly, you should make sure there are good personal trainers at the gym if you intend on hiring one there. This is important if you're new to the gym and are not accustomed to working out on your own. You should thoroughly vet the gym as well as their personal trainers before you commit and sign up.
Additionally, you should ensure that the gym is relatively close to either your workplace or your home. If the gym is far away from work or home, then there's a high chance that you will avoid going to it. The entire point of signing up for the gym is so that you can work out on a regular basis. Therefore, you need to make it as easy as possible for you to actually drive or travel to it. If you don't, then you will most likely avoid going and you won't get the results you want.
In closing, we have just looked at a few things you should pay attention to when looking at gyms in Virginia Beach. Once you follow these guidelines, I am certain that you'll be able to find a great gym that you'll enjoy working out at.

Buying a home to build equity is one of the main financial reasons for prospective home buyers. Another is about freedom. You can paint the walls whatever color you want, add a deck or patio, and park in your own garage. Here are a few buying vs. renting points to consider when deciding whether buying vs renting makes better sense for you.
Renting is simple and you don't have to worry about being tied down to a place for too long or having to stress about maintenance or homeowner's association fees! Here are a few reasons why you may want to rent vs buying a home. What you may not realize, is that you are essentially paying for someone else to own the property you rent and throwing your own money away when you can invest it for yourself. In the below chart, you will see the comparison of a renter vs. a homeowner over a seven-year period.
Flexibility – Renting allows you to get familiar with an area before making the longer-term commitment of buying a home.
Maintenance – When a toilet breaks, you call the landlord.
Job – If you think you might need to move in the near future, you may want to rent.
Income – If you expect a pay hike or cut, that can impact your ability to pay a mortgage.
Utilities – In some cases, utilities such as water, garbage, and heat are included.
Bad credit – Creating a history of on-time rental payments can help build the credit you'll need to qualify for a mortgage.
But there is a downside, you may not have control over the fluctuation of your rent. The average renter generally starts out paying approximately $800 per month and the rent has an annual increase of 5%. In this scenario, the homeowner purchases property for $110,000 and has a monthly mortgage of $1,000. After just 6 years, the homeowner's mortgage payment is less than the renter's monthly payment. You can get more information on the buying vs renting comparison at realtor.org.
Equity – When you pay rent, you are paying your landlord's mortgage. When you have a mortgage on your home, you increase your degree of ownership with every payment. If you intend to stay in your home for at least five to seven years, the cost of purchasing a home is more likely to be offset by accrued equity and increased housing value. You are also able to borrow against your equity in the home. If interest rates drop, you can refinance your mortgage at more favorable rates.
Tax deductions – You can deduct mortgage interest as well as your property taxes. If you work from home, you may be eligible to take deductions for a home office expense and deduct a portion of your utilities. When you sell your home, the IRS won't hit you with a capital gains tax on the profit if you meet certain requirements.
Maintenance – If you live in a house, you can decide about the maintenance, either doing it yourself or hiring your own contractor. If you live in a condominium or townhome, you may pay a monthly fee to have maintenance work covered by the association's contractors. With the tax savings of home ownership, the homeowner's payment is less than the rental payment in just 3 years.
We have pointed out various reasons for buying vs renting a home. As you can see from the information listed above, buying vs renting has tax advantages and home equity savings advantages. We find that most people rent because of a previous foreclosure, job transfer or flexibility. If you are interested in purchasing a home or renting a home, contact Wenzel Select Properties at 630.430.4790 or fill out the contact form to send us your information.

Episode 331: Lyme Inspired Nurse - an interview with Briana Jamshidi
Briana Jamshidi is a 27-year-old Registered Nurse (RN) and certified personal trainer from Charleston, South Carolina. Ms. Jamshidi loved to lift weights, run races, dance, go to concerts, attend music festivals, and was a top performer on her National Guard physical fitness test.
At the age of 21, Ms. Jamshidi suddenly fell ill while attending her annual training with the Army National Guard in Virginia. Shew was first diagnosed with Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and then doctors said it was Interstitial Cystitis (IC) because her urine cultures never grew any bacteria.
Some of Ms. Jamshidi's early symptoms included severe burning when peeing like glass slicing her bladder, spasms of her bladder and pelvic floor, frequent and urgent urination, urinary incontinence, and painful sex. Her symptoms worsened and she developed severe lower back pain, swollen lymph nodes, neck pain, hives, muscle spasms, hand tremors, extreme fatigue, cognitive decline, constipation, food sensitivities, and the feeling of bugs crawling all over her at night.
Ms. Jamshidi was finally diagnosed with Lyme and Bartonella when she was 24. She treated using antibiotics, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), supplements, diet changes, and more.
If you'd to learn how a young woman realized her body is strong and resilient while going through the battle of her life, then tune in now!

This is a very basic implementation of glTF 2.0 format.

I've only implemented the parts I'll be supporting (and these should match the data that is received from the Tails API server)

It's possible the spec will be further implemented at a later.


I have been blogging for Social Edge this week, and have grouped together several of my blogs from there for the Beneblog!
Here are 50 from the Skoll World Forum, Oxford 2006 - a photoset on Flickr.
One of the major themes of working with the Skoll Foundation is the focus on stories. That's what Jeff does with Participant Productions, and a big piece of the Foundation's efforts are around helping us tell stories. Many social entrepreneurs actively avoid telling stories about themselves: they tell stories about other people more easily.
At last night's awards ceremonies, the highlight was seeing four short films on four of the Skoll Social entrepreneurs. I learned that my buddy Martin Burt was on the front line of a revolution in Paraguay when mayor of the capital city, by calling in garbage trucks and bulldozers to surround the congress building while the army was busy shooting people. Only the tenacity of the filmmakers got this story out of Martin, who otherwise would be talking about his dream of helping turn poor farmers into rural entrepreneurs. Another film was a compelling version of the turning point for Victoria Hale when a taxidriver challenged her thinking about why the pharma industry can't make drugs that could save hundreds of thousands of lives (because the customers would only be poor people). Ann Cotton talked about why it is so crucial for girls to have access to education, and I learned even more about her drive for girls education in Africa. Finally, Amitabha Sadangi told in Hindi about his background as a very poor person who had the opportunity to get top academic degrees and then decided to help people like him rather than go for the bucks. His affordable drip irrigation systems make it possible for farmers to make more money and keep their kids in school rather than migrating during the year looking for work.
The films were an outcome of a Sundance story-telling workshop where filmmakers and social entrepreneurs got together to create better ways of telling their story.
Robert Redford is a huge fan of social entrepreneurship, and he really engaged in what we were doing. He tracked me down to explain what we were doing in our new environmental project!
- talking to John Wood of Room to Read about his computer labs and their (successful) efforts to publish children's books in Nepali and Khmer. They are definitely tackling market failure in the publishing industry: in Nepal they are now the second largest publisher of children's books in Nepali.
- Rodrigo Baggio (of CDI in Brazil) and I are trying to find more time together since we're both in the IT space: we know there's a joint project here somewhere.
and more. There is such a natural desire to find ways to work together, and each of us has major strengths to bring to any such partnership. I don't expect each of these conversations to result in something in the coming year, but I'm sure we will find at least one "live one" in the next year, and more after that.
The different social entrepreneurs have started showing up: we have a day of meetings before the main Skoll Forum starts. There are sixteen social entrepreneur award winners this year: three are past Skoll grantees, but this is our first chance to be on stage for the big award ceremony. And six of the new SASEs are people I have never met before, and it's cool learning about what they do.
Sandy Herz got the new SASEs together this afternoon to do a practice run for the big event on Thursday night. I just found out it's going to be live on Social Edge. We had fun running through the rehearsal, with different Skoll staff standing in for Jeff Skoll, Robert Redford, Sir Ben Kingsley and Sally Osberg (CEO of the Skoll Foundation). We definitely camped it up: we'll probably be more serious on Thursday night.
