Liar liar pants on fire. In a society that focuses so much on presentation there are so many people scrambling to present themselves to be something they are not. You know people that basically lie to lie, there is no truth in them. Have you ever exposed a liar for who they are? I live to put the look on someone's face when I acknowledge they are presenting themselves in a way that isn't true and it's unnecessary. What have you done to expose a liar for who they are? How did you do it? Do you lose respect for people who lie to you? Do you date people who are not truthful?

You said:
"I (live) to put the look on someone's face when I acknowledge they are presenting themselves in a way that isn't true and it's unnecessary." What an odd way to get a thrill.
Why not simply cut them out of your life. I wouldn't get "pumped up" or "live" for the opportunity. Eventually it always comes back to you.
Each of us (chooses) our own friends, lovers, and spouse.
We get to (choose) who we spend our time with!
At some point we have to re-evaluate our mate/friend selection criteria if we keep associating with liars or unscrupulous people over and over again. When we change our circumstances change.

Good point dashingscorpio. We do have to re-evaluate mate/friend selection criteria. It just seems that over the past decade the world has changed so much. From Catfish to the "me too" interaction with dating one has to stop and say...Wow/Really?
fpherj48 ,
Thank you for your comment. I thought it was interesting to say that making it clear to communicate with truth is more revealing about me. People lie, that's true but speaking of being raised in a different time lying is not a good character trait. As far as "revealing about me" I try to communicate in truth. For me it's important to live a life where I can respect the person I view in front of the mirror.
Glad to know you don't condone lying. Self-righteousness? Interesting. (NOT)
Even though you don't condone lying and recognize (as I do as well) we all have faults, it just seems sad that some people feel a need to falsely present themselves. As far as a revealing statement, if you lie easily about who you are it seems to either say one of three things:
(1) You attempt to present yourself in a way to manipulate others to get something you desire.
(2) You are aware that you fall short of your own expectations in life so you reinvent yourself through words.
(3) Character flaw. Trust-worthiness is in question.
How people present themselves is of no concern to you-that's great. I guess I'm thinking in a world where people are unhappy, committing suicide, and self-medicating-it's a breathe of fresh air to communicate without pretense. When I'm trying to get to know you (particularly in a dating situation which was what I considered when posting this comment), I really want to know you not who you are pretending to be. Disappointing.
This comment was posted as a fun way to determine how people feel about the truth and human interaction. My post was short therefore it didn't waste valuable time.
Be blessed. Thank you for the comment fpherj48.Your response is revealing as well.

Of course your Q is not a "waste of time," or I'd have not commented. Letting Liars play their games is a waste of time. When deceit & facades show up too often, we need to know to move on. Avoid the falling rock. YES, it IS sad. It's also human
realtalk....I'm sorry to say this, but your comment about relishing the look on someone's face when you call them out on a lie, is telling. However it tells me more about you than it does any liar.
I need to ask you how careful you are to be certain that some person, any person is not telling the truth, or the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
A person may be repeating something he/she believes to be true although the majority of others knows it is not. This would make this person you feel is a liar, in fact mistaken, misinformed or misguided...who knows for sure?
It is an undeniable fact of life....a reality of human nature: People lie. Huge lies, little lies, lies to save face, lies to save feelings and/or pain....but at some point, in some way or another, ALL humans lie.
Do you write letters to all Sci-Fi fiction writers to call them out on a book full of lies? Or does it please you to see someone physically abused because he/she said something untrue to protect a friend from danger?
One of the biggest lies in life is "self-righteousness." Do some research, I think you may find some interesting information.
Do I condone lying? Absolutely not. No more or less than I could condone stealing, cheating or bullying. Living in society, we know these faults and much more exist...everywhere. Tolerance, compassion and forgiveness enter in for any sense of peace & happiness.
I WILL of course, confront a liar if there is imminent danger, or they are gambling with someone's very life. Other than that, it is enough to know that I am aware. The liar must work on this issue within himself. Having said all of this, please know I speak of our personal lives.
When we are speaking of public figures, Politicians whose words effect millions, lies are deplorable and yes, should (and usually are) exposed.
How some random person "presents him/herself" is of no concern to me. For me to be the authenticity police is at best disingenuous and at worst a waste of my valuable time.

But I also have to remember Kerry is a vietnam vet with 3 purple hearts
All of which he wrote himself up for and none of which he earned.
Where is the Form 180 you promised us Kerry you POS?
Just what is Murtha's pedigree? I'd like to see an accurate listing of his duty in the military.
Did Murtha actually need more than a band-aid or an ice pack for his Purple Hearts?
Didn't you hear? From the "truth is stranger than fiction" dept. He said a few months ago that he DID sign the 180. But he just hasn't sent it back in yet.
I guess actually sending it back in wasn't part of the deal that Crissy Mathews talked him into.

New photos: Protestors target Bullring shops in tax protest
|Photo by Andy Haden
Britain's largest fashion store was forced to close on Saturday as activists carried out a series of protests against tax avoidance by big businesses
Security staff removed a number of campaigners who chanted slogans directed at billionaire Topshop owner Sir Philip Green, whose business five years ago paid a £1.2 billion dividend to his wife, Tina, who resides in Monaco.
|Photo by Andy Haden
The protest was organised by UK Uncut, which used social networking sites Twitter and Facebook to carry out a national day of action against stores owned by Sir Philip's Arcadia Group, which also owns Dorothy Perkins, Burton, Evans and Miss Selfridge.

Anjou, Montréal
Esthetics and Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Systems
In the mid-1980s, the earliest generation of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology was designed to fabricate immediate chairside inlay and onlay ceramic restorations. This initial technology required an excessive amount of fabrication time. The first generation of computer software and hardware that accompanied this technology offered only a limited, two-dimensional view of the scanned images because the system's hard drive was incapable of storing the volume of data required for a three-dimensional view.
CAD/CAM technology
CAD/CAM technology has evolved to become a practical and useful resource for dental professionals to perform chairside restorations. In CAD/CAM technology, a digital impression is substituted for the traditional elastomeric impression using an intraoral digital scanner.
Alternatively a digital scan of a cast made from a traditional elastomeric impression also can be performed. An intraoral digital impression « captures » the data of the teeth and their supporting soft-tissue structures is recorded by a scanning wand using an optic laser, digital imaging, and/or video technology.
A specialized three-dimensional (3D) rendering program allows the images of the intraorally scanned impressions to be actualized in three dimensions and in real time on a computer monitor. The software allows the dental professional to mark margins, digitally design wax-up proposals of the restoration, place accurate occlusal contacts, and refine the proximal contact areas with adjacent teeth.
The clinician can preform any or all of these procedures at the chairside « design center » before sending the definitive data to the computer-controlled milling unit.
The workflow is summarized by the following steps:
The CEREC 4.0
The Cerec system (made by Sirona Germany and distributed by Paterson Dental Co., Sr Paul, MN) was first introduced in the United States in 1996. It requires the use of a white, glare-free powder containing titanium oxide to enhance the contrast of the tooth.
A CCD sensor wand makes a 3D infrared scan of the preparation in roughly 0.1 seconds at a resolution of 25 micrometers. The digital image is displayed on the self-contained microprocessor display where the dentist designs the restoration.
The Cerec is capable of fabricating porcelain inlays, onlays, crowns, and veneers, and allows immediate, single visit esthetic restorations. Version 4 can mill a single-unit definitive or provisional restoration and a provisional three-unit fixed partial denture from an acrylic block.
The system also contains a block that functions as a wax casting (burnout block) for a cast metal crown. The system also contains a portable, air-axis micromilling machine that can be used in the dental office. The clinician can electronically send a design and the digital impression with Cerec Connect to the off-site laboratory for fabrication of casts, multiple units, fixed partial dentures, implant abutments, and zirconium or metal crowns.
Cerec can also be integrated with the Galileos System to construct surgical guides for implant placement. The Cerec's Biogenetic software can analyze individual patient occlusion and the anatomy of adjacent teeth so that the restoration is patient-specific. Preparation evaluation software (prepCheck) is included. This is a learning tool that provides an analysis of either a computer-simulated tooth preparation or a scan of an actual tooth preparation.
CAD/CAM Restoration Materials
Advances in CAD/CAM CAM technology occurred simultaneously with innovations in esthetic restorative materials. Modern monoblock ceramic materials have been engineered to resist masticatory stress and milling induced damage.
Feldspathic ceramic materials have been mostly replaced by reinforced ceramic with silica (feldspar, Ieucite, and lithium disilicate), nonsilica (alumina and zirconia), and combination of resin-ceramic based materials, resulting in a three- to 11-fold increase in flexural strength.
Computer modelling simulation shows that a single, thick, monolithic all-ceramic crown materials performed better under stress when compared with ceramic core material with veneering porcelain. Furthermore the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between core and veneer materials may initiate the internal stress that causes delaminating or internal cracking of porcelain.

Mike Tyson has committed rape, chewed off part of an opponent's ear in the ring and assaulted two men, thus violating terms of his probation in the rape case.
Never mind. No problem.
The Maryland Parole Commission, a judge in Indiana and Nevada boxing officials all have done their part to clear the way for Tyson's return to televised, big-money boxing.
That's just great - exactly what's needed to get Tyson's attention and encourage him to behave in a civilized manner.
Tyson's expected return to the ring is more bad news for a sport that already has plenty, including questions surrounding the controversial draw decision in the title bout between Holyfield and Lennox Lewis.
We believe, though, that age and boxing fans soon will impose upon Tyson restrictions that sports officials are unwilling to apply.

Data Visualisation for Biology: A practical workshop on design, techniques and tools | Cambridge, UK | 30 January – 3 February 2017
As biological datasets increase in size and complexity, we are moving more and more from an hypothesis-driven research paradigm to a data-driven one. As a result, exploration of that data has become even more crucial than in the past. In this 5-day workshop, we will dive into the topic of biological data visualization and how it can be used to gain insight in and get a "feel" for a dataset, so that targeted analyses can be defined. We will start by covering theoretical questions like: What is data visualization? How do we perceive images? How can we visualise data in the best possible way? As the workshop continues, it will become more and more hands-on and interactive; a large part will be committed to creating visualisations using the P5 javascript library, based on biological data. In the workshop, we will focus on omics (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics) data rather than e.g. imaging data. | More information
Micro and Metabolic Regulators in Plants | Thiruvananthapuram, India | 1-4 February 2017

New Breeding Technologies in the Plant Sciences | Gothenburg, Sweden | 7-8 July 2017
Targeted genome engineering has been described as a "game-changing technology" for fields as diverse as human genetics and plant biotechnology. Novel techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9, Science's 2015 Breakthrough of the Year, are revolutionising scientific research, allowing the targeted and precise editing of genomes in ways that were not previously possible. Used alongside other tools and strategies, gene-editing technologies have the potential to help combat food and nutritional insecurity and assist in the transition to more sustainable food production systems. The application and use of these technologies is therefore a hot topic for a wide range of stakeholders including scientists, funders, regulators, policy makers and the public. Despite its potential, there are a number of challenges in the adoption and uptake of genome editing, which we propose to highlight during this SEB satellite meeting. Overall this meeting will be of great interest to plant and crop scientists who are invested in the future of gene editing both on a practical and regulatory level. | More information

I got this question from one of the teams working on ROS integration, but I figured I would share the approach with anyone interested:
There is no raw mag/acc data at the moment. I can tell you where you will need to modify the code if you want that data. Be warned that to suck the data through the serial point will limit how fast you can pull the raw numbers... so adding it to the current 20HZ navdata feed is no problem, but if you want to pull it faster than 20Hz to send in to a fusion algorithm... you may find that hard to do.
Basically, to add the mag and acceleration you will want to add Serial.print() statement here where it will come out at 20Hz:
The values you will need are the MPU.m_rawMAG[] and MPU.m_rawAccel[] vectors, you can see them being used a little above at:
So your print statements would look something like:Serial.print(F("ACLX=")); Serial.print(MPU.m_rawAccel[VEC3_X]); Serial.println(";");
Serial.print(F("ACLX=")); Serial.print(MPU.m_rawAccel[VEC3_X]); Serial.println(";");
That will get the data flowing out of the Arduino. You then need to map the Arduino data to the navdata message basically adding lines similar to this one:
and of course add them to the navdata structure here:
So it would look something like
if ('aclx' in status) {
navdata.aclx = status.aclx;
Hi badevguru! I have been trying to get this working and it seems that I'm running on another SW version than you did when creating this guide. I am using a 2.7 ROV, with the IMU 2.0, and SW 30.0.2. I have managed to get the accelerometers x-value in the serial stream by changing the BN055.cpp file. I now have a stream output that looks as follows
The variable here is arbitrary, but it looks correct to me. I had to do this in a different way than you did in your guide as I am using the IMU 2.0 (If someone wants to know how, I am happy to share) The question now is the .js files. I am completely green with .js, but what I have tried to do is to add the aclx variable in navdata in the OpenROVController.js file:
var navdata = {
roll: 0,
pitch: 0,
yaw: 0,
thrust: 0,
deapth: 0,
hdgd: 0,
aclx: 0
Next I added the if-sentence to update the status right underneath the one for fthr:
if ('aclx' in status) {
navdata.aclx = status.aclx;
When I re-upload the firmware, the aclx variable does not show up on the telemetry, and if i record some data and download it to my computer it is not in the downloaded json file either. What might I be doing wrong? When I re-open the OpenROVController.js file the changes are there. My theories are the following: 1: The telemetry data is handled somewhere else in the 30.0.2 SW version, 2: I am trying to read the data wrong or 3: I am completely off track when it comes to .js and have no idea what I am doing...
Thanks for any help! Your guides, and comments throughout the forum has helped me out a lot already, so thanks for all your work!
Great to hear about your project. Be sure to keep us informed on who it goes!
Seems like you are doing everything right. After modifying the node.js code, be sure to restart the node.js process sudo /etc/init.d/openrov restart to have the changes take affect.
sudo /etc/init.d/openrov restart
You should also be able to inspect the raw serial data coming from the Arduino to make sure to is printing as expected by pressing thee u key in cockpit that will open up the raw stream. (Tip: You might want to disconnect the network cable for a moment so you can see the stream as it moves fast).
If you already restored the node process and it is still not showing up let me know.
Aha! Resetting the nose.js is probably what's missing. I'll check that out tomorrow. Thanks a bunch!!
So i got a bit further now, but there are still some issues. I still have data flowing in the raw serial-monitor as you can see from this screen cap from the cockpit
and I have tried to capture the data stream in the .js file in two different ways. First you can see the initialisation of the values here:
var navdata = {
roll: 0,
pitch: 0,
yaw: 0,
thrust: 0,
deapth: 0,
hdgd: 0,
acly: 0,
aclz: 0
I tried aclx in caps lock just to see if it made any difference, and I wrote the status update sentences as follows:
if ('ACLX' in status) {
navdata.ACLX = status.ACLX;
if ('acly' in status) {
navdata.acly = status.acly;
if ('aclz' in status) {
navdata.aclz = status.aclz;
On my downloaded json files I now get the variable names (AXLX, acly and aclz), but they all have the value zero. It seems then that the raw serial works, the initialisation of the json variables work, but not the updating of the json variables. A picture of the .json files here:
Any ideas?
Odd. I would stick some console.log statements inside the if statements to see if they are getting triggered. You should see the result in the /var/logs/openrov.log file on the beaglebone.
If you go ahead and pastebin the full file I can take a better look.
Haha! as always there is some time little annoying thing that makes everything fail. I had a look at the Device.h file to see how things were structured. The problem is in the Serial.print command. In the guide it says:
it should actually be a colon and not equal sign, so the correct way is:
and then everything works and problem solved. Thanks so much for all the quick help! Btw, I'll be over in the OpenROV HQ sometime next week so maybe I'll meet you in person as well. Trident looks absolutely killer btw!
Get preasure and temperature (working with 30.0.3) - OpenROVController.js:
var navdata = { roll: 0, pitch: 0, yaw: 0, thrust: 0, deapth: 0, hdgd: 0, temp: 0, pres: 0}
Update status:
if ('temp' in status) {
navdata.temp = status.temp;
if ('pres' in status) {
navdata.pres = status.pres;
But I can't get acceleration and mag values. Any idea, tutorial? New software 30.0.3 is quite different. Also this calibration method doesn't work (CMPU9150.cpp):
//20 hz
if( mpu_update_timer.HasElapsed( 50 ) )
if( MPU.read() )
NDataManager::m_navData.HDGD = MPU.m_fusedEulerPose[VEC3_Z] * RAD_TO_DEGREE;
//To convert to-180/180 to 0/360
if( NDataManager::m_navData.HDGD < 0 )
NDataManager::m_navData.HDGD += 360;
NDataManager::m_navData.PITC = MPU.m_fusedEulerPose[VEC3_Y] * RAD_TO_DEGREE + 2.18;
NDataManager::m_navData.ROLL = MPU.m_fusedEulerPose[VEC3_X] * RAD_TO_DEGREE + 2.11;
NDataManager::m_navData.YAW = MPU.m_fusedEulerPose[VEC3_Z] * RAD_TO_DEGREE;

Can somebody tell me why?
Hi Nasir,
It is because you are presumably using the BNO055 IMU sensor (the IMU2) as opposed to the MPU9150. In this case, the modifications to CMPU9150.cpp aren't getting called, because it is the BNO055 that is loaded up and updating. I am working on an update that abstracts away most of the differences of the individual IMUs so that you don't have to worry about that anymore and will also make the raw IMU outputs available to you (accel, gyro, and mag). Just a bit behind because of the holidays and travel. I'll post a link to the new firmware branch with these updates early this week.
Thanks Charles, I figured that out yesterday silly mistake
Really looking forward to the updates.
In the mean time would you have any pointers on how accurately the dead reckoning with bon055 is?
Well, you can lookup the data sheet on the bno055 to see the tolerances on the gyros and accelerometer to get an idea. General belief is that integrating the accelerometer data to determine velocity causes the error to grow much to large to be of much use for dead reckoning. That said, I'm not aware of anyone having tested it yet.
@Nasir_Ahsan and @opegieka
This feature branch is a quick add-in of raw value output support for the BNO055. It isn't the full abstraction yet, but this should give you the data you need. The only changes are in AConfig.h and CBNO055.cpp. To turn on/off raw outputs for each specific type of output, change the define value for it in AConfig.h to 1 or 0 respectively. Defaultly, I've turned the raw accelerometer data on for you, which will be output at 100hz in the format "RACC: x | y | z;". You can split that up across multiple messages, if you don't feel like bothering with parsing it on the other end, it just saves a little overhead.
The raw outputs that you have access to are:
One thing that might cause some problems for you is the IMU mode switching that currently happens (bouncing back and forth between IMU mode and Fusion Mode). I've renamed the inOverride variable to modeSwitchingEnabled in CBNO055.cpp which defaults to true. When the IMu is in IMU mode, you won't have access to the Mag or Linear Accel data, so you can initialize that value to false if you would like it to always stay in Fusion mode so that you get uninterrupted data (although beware that it could be poorly calibrated data depending on the state of the fusion algorithm).
Haven't tested this yet, but I was inspired this last weekend to do some work with accelerometer integration and Kalman filtering, so I'll be playing with it more myself this week. Let me know if you run into any problems or have any questions.
Thanks Charles!! I'll try it out.
Hi @charlesdc,

Hey @charlesdc,
So I declared the inOverride boolean variable in the namespace and that did the trick!
I can see the RACC xyz and RLACC xyz. The RLACC seem to be zero at no motion (and change upon motion) however RACC seems to have values like 0.29, 0.9, 9.69 at no motion, i.e., openROV is still. Is this because no fusion has been done and no biases have been offset?
Many thanks it works great. Now to the EKF stuff!
Ah, sorry about that. I forgot to replace a few of the inOverride's with "modeSwitchingEnabled" (I renamed the variable in an earlier commit). I just updated the code on github, so either replace those "inOverride's" yourself or grab the latest code.
As for the outputs, I believe the RACC values are going to be uncalibrated, as you guessed. The RLACC values are basically the RACC with gravity and offsets taken into account (and maybe some other magic under the hood, the BNO055 is a black box so nobody really knows what math it does in its fusion).
Hey Charles,
Thanks for that. I'll grab the code but it worked with only one declaration.
I see makes sense why tge RACC is off. I'Ll start playing around with the Imu data but I highly doubt that it would be ok after a few seconds of position tracking even though the rlacc values have been fused with mag data.
What units is LACC measured in?
Right now it is in mg. You can change it to m/s^2 by modifying the following code in CAdaBNO055.cpp. Change the 1 to a 0 in the last line:
bool CAdaBNO055::SetUpUnitsAndOrientation()
// Select the output units
uint8_t unitSelect = ( 0 << 7 ) | // Orientation = Android
( 0 << 4 ) | // Temperature = Celsius
( 0 << 2 ) | // Euler = Degrees
( 0 << 1 ) | // Gyro = Deg/s
/*Set this to 0*/ ( 1 << 0 ); // Accelerometer = mg
See page 30 of the datasheet for other unit selection settings:

Purchased a size 14 in this Anthracite jacket as well as another lime green jacket offered by the same company. I usually wear a 10 so the sizing seems off but the fit was fabulous. The sleeve cuffs were a little loose, flared out at the end instead of keeping the same line as the sleeve. I tacked them down with a needle & thread which perfected the fit.

Steve was so exited and did as he was told he was the waiter and cook I got ready and must say I looked just like a slut and felt like one , I heard the door knock and Steve greetd Sam and when I went down there were four of them Sam came over and kissed me I instantly felt myself get wet he showed me to his friends and told them I was to do anything they wanted. We drank Steve served them drinks and I was psassed to each man for a kiss and what ever they wanted one sucked my nipples another fingered my ass and so on slowly each took there clothes of and I was then standing with five very black naked men ,then one bent me over ripped my knickers of and started to lick my ass and then told me to suck another mans cock who was sitting in the chair and that was the start of my night of total domination by black men it never stopped I was fucked in every hole and made to drink so much cum , then one told me he wanted me to drink his piss Sam just told me to do it very hesitantly and I could see Steve not happy but I was in there control so I took hold of his cock and sucked until I could feel warm liquid oozing out but strangly I was turned on and accepted his piss with ease maybe as they only drank beer it was like drinking warm water ,then final act was I got fucked in each hole at the same time boy that is different and total turn on.

Mental Illness and Capital Punishment: Potential Complications
Mental Illness and Capital Punishment: Potential Complications
The US Supreme Court has been slowly but steadily "chipping away" at the death penalty. Lee and Hall's well-written article gives a prescient window of insight into the process. After the more easily confirmed disqualifiers of age and intellectual disorder have been decided, is not serious mental illness now a predictable consideration? If so, how will a dividing line be drawn between serious mental illness and "any" type of mental illness? In both Roper and Atkins, the Supreme Court also considered the risk of false convictions and unfair sentences.1
These concerns flowed from the notion that juveniles and persons with intellectual disabilities may be inordinately impressionable, and thus unduly prone to outside influence in committing the crime, as well as at risk for false confessions. Can these same concerns now be applied to persons with mental illness? The likelihood does seem strong for a future prohibition of the death penalty for persons with mental illness.
What is of interest now are the long-term ramifications and challenges that may be forthcoming. In this article, we discuss some potential complications arising from a constitutional ban on executing persons with mental illness.
CTBE evaluations
To be sure, complications are encountered in other areas of forensic psychiatric criminal evaluations. For example, competence to be executed (CTBE) evaluations (evaluations for death penalty eligibility) take the evaluator much closer to the moral and ethical fire of an execution than other types of evaluations. The American Medical Association's Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs concluded that conducting CTBE evaluations is permissible because the forensic psychiatrist is acting as an advocate of the justice system—not as part of the process of punishment.2 There are 2 critical factors to keep in mind:
1. There is no doctor-patient relationship between the forensic psychiatrist and inmate
2. The evaluating forensic psychiatrist is not "directly participating" in an execution

Tuesday Editor's Pick: Lumière d'été (1943)by Alt Screen on June 3, 2011Posted in: Uncategorized
Playing Tue June 7 at 12:30, 4:00, 7:30 at FIAF [Program & Tix]
The French Institute celebrates director Jean Grémillon on Tuesdays in the month of June, beginning this coming Tuesdays with a World War II ensemble of high emotion that provokes comparison to Rules of the Game (and survives them!), Lumière d'été. Say the program notes, "Though sometimes obscured by his contemporaries, Marcel Carné, Jean Renoir, and René Clair, director Jean Grémillon's legacy is secure with a rich body of work combining melodrama, history, politics, and of course, forbidden love."
Though widely considered Grémillon's best work, English-language commentary on Lumière d'été is few and far between (calling all eager film writers!). Allan Fish gets things started for the blog Wonders in the Dark:
It begins with a controlled explosion, miners in a valley in the Provencal mountains. It's summer, the sun is shining, all seems right with the world. Yet this was 1943 and, in France more than anywhere, nothing was right with the world. The Vichy occupation was at its height, and many of the creative talents of the era had either left for other climes or found their vision neutered by the Vichy censorship board. Lumière d'Été, while not perhaps quite as good a film as Le Ciel est a Vous which followed it, is still Grémillon's most densely layered film. Other directors made excellent films in the Nazi occupation but if I was asked to name a film that summed up the Vichy mood better than any other, it would have to be Lumière d'Été.
What perhaps seems most remarkable in retrospect is that it wasn't a play to begin with, for its mise-en-scène and design suggest it, quite deliberately in the masked ball sequence with allusions to numerous masters, not least Shakespeare with a drunken Roland wandering about dressed as Hamlet with the demeanour of his father's ghost, murmuring "there's something rotten in the state of Denmark." The performances are all superb, with Renaud and Robinson (replacing Michèle Morgan, by then in Hollywood) perfect as the older and younger femmes and Brasseur having a whale of a time as the drunken artist who loathes everyone else nearly as much as himself. Compared to La Règle du Jeu by Sadoul, despite plot similarities it isn't quite on that level but it's a film that bears its fatalism on its sleeve (the cynical title says it all) and includes a particularly brilliant flashback in which we don't see what happened, but rather hear the sounds, accompanied by the shocked horrified faces of Renaud and Bernard in recollection.
Perhaps most illuminating, is Jonathan Rosenbaum's discussion of the director, the film, and its follow-up Le Ciel est a Vous, over at his blog:
Trained as a musician and composer, Grémillonfirst came into contact with films professionally when he played in a small orchestra that accompanied silent pictures, and many critics have noted that he tended to structure his films in movements, as if they were pieces of music. (He was also especially creative when it came to his sound tracks; one striking "flashback" in Lumière d'été is created exclusively through sounds while the camera remains firmly anchored in the present.) He started out making documentaries and experimental films; aspects of them can be found in his subsequent features, which were always populist by design.
Godard accuses cinema of having responded inadequately to World War II. Yet Lumière d'été and Le ciel est à vous were both made and released in France during the occupation, in 1943 and 1944 respectively, and they are both exceptional responses to the occupation, even to the conditions of their making…This juxtaposition of classes is one of the reasons Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game (1939) seems an obvious reference point, and it's a tribute to Grémillon's mastery that his film never crumples in comparison with Renoir's supreme masterpiece.
The Telluride Film Festival program notes:
Good and Evil in Provence. A deserted hotel in the lunar landscape of the Hauts de Provence houses a motley crew of characters raised by utterly French pettiness and self-loathing. Madeleine Robinson plays a naif who wanders into the vipers' nest during a visit to her fiance, a failed artists. Like all innocents, she will bring the storm. The masked ball that concludes the film seals Grémillion's mastery. Lumière d'Été holds its own next to Rules of the Game, Renoir's masterpiece: more vitriolic in its criticism of the upper classes, it features Grémillion's trademark visual lyricism, his uncanny sense of the fragility of human relations and an unmatched ability to choreograph them.
Films de France stresses the film's importance as a relic of the war era (it was suppressed by the government for some time):
Lumière d'été is certainly one of the most important films made in France during World War II. It allowed its director, Jean Grémillion, to get away with his most vehement assault on the Haute-Bourgeoisie (as Jean Renoir had attempted to do with his 1939 film La Règle du jeu), whilst extolling the nobility of the ordinary hard-working man in the street.
Pacific Film Archive program notes:
Although it was never released in this country, for many British and French critics Lumière d'été stands alongside Children of Paradise as a masterpiece made during the Nazi Occupation of France. Lumière d'été is a study of two worlds: the working class, pictured as healthy and cohesive, and the rich—idle, self–pitying and debauched. A remote mountain inn is the setting for class–crossed love affair, in a melodrama that climbs to a violent climax on tensions built into Jacques Prévert's script and echoed in Grémillon's charged imagery. Michèle (Madeleine Robinson), a beautiful innocent engaged to a dissolute artist (Pierre Brasseur), falls in love with a young construction worker from a nearby dam project (Georges Marchal). She is in turn pursued by an aging playboy (Paul Bernard). French film critic Georges Sadoul writes, "This uneven, but lyrical and courageous, film was banned by the Vichy censors for its polemic (albeit allusive) against the ruling classes. Grémillon allegorically set evil against good [with] mordant humor [that] recalls Renoir's La Règle du jeu (The Rules of the Game), although Grémillon's own forceful personality had not been influenced by Renoir."
